There are no clear details about what DOGE will alter. All the information we have so far amounts to outrage-bait one-liners. Where and how are they deciding to make cuts, and which agencies are they planning to change? Cutting is not intri

Kinda? Chess isn't solved. Complex problems can have better solutions discovered in the future.

Anyone have a technical writeup of the actual bug? I'm trying to explain how this could happen to people who think this is related to AI or cyber attacks. What happened to the QA testing, staggered rollouts, feature flags, etc.? It&#x2

Doesn’t make much sense for Hikaru to cheat. He competes over the board where it’s much harder to cheat, and he makes most of his money through streaming, not through competition results.

What about safety during accidents? It's better to be driving a heavier car in that case.

I would love if when buying an iPhone I was able to specify an entire class of apps that I could not install. For example, I could be banned at an OS level from a curated suite of social media apps. They could also make each app report the

Don't we already have many answers? -- We just do nothing to address the problems.

Pragmatically, we need way more investment in environmental engineering and policies that put conservation first. Since collectively we can't be bothered because we all need the newest electric vehicle, you can also accept that mass ex

I'm at about $700/mth but I don't see why I can't make it to $2k monthly. It's a Slackbot [1,2] that assists user story refinement for Jira. If you're a SWE that uses agile methodology this may be interesting t

Thank you for commenting these in. I find this quote "That when allowed to be themselves, their psychological issues largely disappear." interesting and hopeful -- and the way it's phrased suggests some causation. Is there a

Oh so there is pre-processing to find the useful portions? What are you using for the pre-processing? I feel that it's inevitable that OpenAI et al. will be able to handle large PDF documents eventually. But until then I'm sure th

What OpenAI API calls allow sending these small chunks? When you query something like "What is this research about?" is it able to use data from all chunks?

Given that the topic is pretty politicized and they didn't go into that much detail about controlling for possible confounding variables, I think the author is trying to express their personal beliefs through a study. I think the data

Had me in the first half, lost me in the second. Why not try to create unions instead of "don't document anything because you're making yourself replaceable"?

Since the code is working and the main problems are the lack of documentation & structure, would it be possible to refactor & add comments with AI techniques? Or transpose it to javascript so we can play online?

It sounds like the author enjoys programming in a vacuum, math, and theory. Those are basically useless for a software engineer. Being a subject expert and having the codebase and systems memorized are infinitely more valuable to a company

A significant amount of TikToks are simply video proof of harassment/bullying but I guess it's not a priority to them to detect and remove those.
