That's an OK prior if you have literally no other information, but still isn't reasonable once you know anything about people.

Again, inaccurate. There is a self-selection process at work here in certain roles and domains, maybe, but to boldly claim that your bubble is a representative sample of the entire industry is naive.

This insight translates readily into machine learning in the form of "inductive bias". It is rare that I come across a model whose architecture actually bakes in the functional form (i.e. topologies and constraints) of the system

The landing page (readme, in the case of GitHub repos) is way too important. Even a one-click barrier to an examples page obscures the information unacceptably. UX principles also apply to documentation.

Hard to believe this isn't cribbed directly from Sartre's Camera Obscura .

Why are those services not available in the north of the city? This is as much a planning issue as traffic is.

Can you articulate a cogent reason why people need to cross the city on such a thoroughfare just to live their lives?

Bad traffic is a good catalyst for spurring local commercial development, assuming zoning and other bureaucratic measures don't hamper the situation entirely.

There is a certain strain of discourse that goes "what? me politics?", getting upset when their obviously politically charged just-asking-questions narrative is called out as such. Concerning at best, antisocial at worst.

Solutions are a separate question and irrelevant for this comment thread. Do you have any reason to believe that California is comparable to Finland? Or did you just need to vent?

If you can point to a single housing authority who has implemented such a plan satisfactorily, ie, to meaningfully address homelessness within their jurisdiction following the dictates of that bill, please do let us know. But it's othe

Those are symptoms, not causes. A lot of the value of land in California is proximity to good services and high ROI as regards social and career. The red tape, permitting, and labor costs are market-derived cash extraction mechanisms. Your

What makes you think California's programs fit that description? Housing programs in the US and most other countries are viciously means-tested because the necessary long-term investments are not being made to improve capacity to meet

Don't Look Up is excellent and I believe only would have been improved if it was directed by the Safdie brothers.

Jumping spiders trigger significantly less of that response than other types of spiders. Are you sure you know what a jumping spider looks like?

I suffered through that kind of situation for much longer than I care to admit. I am now behind the curve in terms of skills development because of how stagnant the situation was.

If you're on the side of "just tell me what to build", you better really, really trust your leads and managers. Bad managers can destroy engineering culture in an instant to the point where "just tell me what to build&

You were being pedantic up until here, so let's continue with the presumption of pedantry: what GP described is very far from reckless driving because they knew exactly what they were doing. You can cut people off safely, if dickishl

M J Burgess, "semi-professional philosopher", doesn't recognize the context that this side of complex systems exists in and pooh-poohs the paper, demonstrating the "semi" more than the "professional".

Depends entirely how you approach it. You can build relationships that last a day and still learn a lot.
