It’s not necessarily “larger”, so much as different units. In a big company, the hiring budget is measured in headcount, but the promotion budget is measured in dollar percentage. It’s much easier to add $20k salary to get a hire done than

Of course some kind of untraceable verification could exist (e.g., a perfectly implemented zero-knowledge proof protocol), and some things might even use it. But if any online age verification in actual use results in traceable identifi

As an adult I can’t remember ever having to put my face into a permanent database and be tracked every time I browsed in a bookstore. So this is not a helpful analogy.

Internal TF builds have no review, but can only go to 100 people who are in your developer account. External builds can go to 10,000 people by invitation, but have a review.

I only ever activate the iPad multitasking features by accident, and then I don’t know how to get out of Split View or hidden Safari windows or whatever other weird thing I’ve triggered. So I’m looking forward to this mode switch that goes

It sounds like this only helps power consumption after you've already run low on power . Seems like processing frequent notifications would accelerate your progress toward that low power state.

The RefreshAt is a week, but if the code is actually valid for a week, it's not clear why a simple screenshot of the code didn't work.

Humanity has a history of regarding people as tools , but I'm not sure what you're referencing as the track record of failing to realize that tools are people .

Did I interpret correctly that this sends a push notification every minute telling your phone to download a new code? If so, that seems like a battery problem…

That was a lot to read to still not see a prohibition against "making waves".

I would say that to "lie" means to present information as truth when it is in fact false, and you know it's false. By this definition, you can't "lie" with behavior, only with speech.

OK, but that seems like a funny definition of "military presence", since DARPA is the military. The goal DARPA was trying to accelerate by funding self-driving, btw, was to "achieve the fielding of unmanned, remotely contro

The Internet was originally funded by "the man" (DARPA) so this isn't entirely accurate.

That absolutely is a controversial opinion. The prohibition against government reprisal for speech acts is the first thing in the Bill of Rights! That’s one of the genuinely exceptional things about the U.S., or at least it was until we bro

Poker players very seldom outright lie, like saying out loud "hey everybody, my hand is great!", and it's usually not just simple "deception" either. How about "behaving in a way that increases the probability

Yes I do — and that’s not an em dash, it’s two hyphens. You’re not using a manual typewriter, you have Unicode. You don’t make an exclamation point from an apostrophe and a period, do you?

In my ninth grade physics class we had to use a slide rule to do calculations for the first three months to help develop that intuition for orders of magnitude. Also because our teacher was just tired of people reporting results to nine sig

Everyone please just stop with the em dash hysteria. You just tried to use one yourself — apparently you just don’t know how to type it.

It’s not really an abstraction budget, it’s an “unfamiliar abstraction” budget. You only pay cognitive load for an abstraction when you haven’t yet internalized the abstraction. Otherwise progress would have become impossible long ago. Ther

It seems like the tariffs are at least one-dimensional chess. The supposed rationale for the numbers was widely ridiculed, but now it’s clear that the numbers didn’t matter as long as they’re large. The tariffs have no rational basis as tar

“Wasting” effort on juniors is where seniors come from. So that first approach is only valid at a sole proprietorship, at an early stage startup, or in an emergency.

(1) and (2) are correct (well, I don’t know specifics of Everlaw). Fine tuning is something different, where you incrementally train the model itself further using more inputs, so that given the same input context it will produce better out

Most customers just don’t care that much, and if it’s a viable business, even losing all the initial customers won’t matter. This is why we are where we are with respect to basic security. (E.g., early Dropbox went four hours accepting any

I agree, it’s not recommended to get CTs on a whim. I have high risk factors, a high calcium score, and a bad family history, so getting the data to guide our mitigation approach was worth it.

Diagnostic labs are just for-profit companies. They’re happy to do tests as long as they get paid by somebody . The only practical restrictions are if you want to convince insurance to pay for it. If you’re paying cash, you can get anythin

Exactly, the score would be going up, but for a good reason. Best to have no plaques, second best to have calcified ones.
