I had the same thought when I heard of the settlement. There are millions of people with loved ones who have died of OxyContin overdose, and rarely do you have a case like this where a good deal of such visceral suffering was planned and pr

A less charitable take, and something that came to mind for me faster than what others are presenting (that commits fixing bugs that you caused tend to be larger because you know more about the architecture around the code needing to be fix

Yeah, and on the demand side, I have a hunch that a company that implicitly or explicitly uses their lack of a vaccine requirement as a recruiting pitch would have a hard time recruiting a large subset of engineers.

What makes Philadelphia “horrible” in your eyes? As somehow who has lived in what I think were nice but not luxurious parts of both urban cores, I found Philly every bit as livable and probably more pleasant and friendly, but I’m in New Yor

This might have been covered in some part I skimmed over, but they never seemed to offer a mechanism for contaminated water in a drainage basin entering the local food supply via processed foods in a way that wouldn’t also impact a plant-ba

JFK is also a preferable location for staging supersonic flight because you don’t need to pass over/near a massive population center on a route to northern Europe

It only works if you ignore everything in the “pro” column. Try to imagine what a world without credit would look like. It’s a much poorer world.

I’m not sure why we should be inclined to trust the police in an environment where the government is clearly making an effort to play down the seriousness of the crisis and their hand in it. It’s also a bit hard to believe that someone woul

What do you consider first-level details? It’d be super put off if my boss asked me if I had a fever when I emailed in sick.

Can you say more about what you think the implications of offering the control group vaccinations are? My prior assumption would be that protecting the control group would cause the study to underestimate the effectiveness of the vaccine si

Congrats Dalia! Thank you for sharing your story. I just about teared up in public reading it. I hope you have a great summer.

They say this, but your credits aren’t actually thrown away immediately (at least they weren’t in 2018 or thereabouts). I learned this by ending up in exactly the position you describe - trying to get rid of credits before canceling - excep

That strikes me as a bit of a ridiculous reason to move. The homeless in California are concentrated in a handful of cities, and within those cities, in a handful of neighborhoods. It’s not a problem that you’d be exposed to in a way that t

At least in the US, I think it varies massively depending on the culture of a given city and school (the way the parents in the district make their living definitely impacts the values of the kids), and maybe less so generationally.

How long have you been using it? I find random ESP32s off of Amazon to be a bit of a crapshoot, and I’ve taken to just sticking to big microcontroller integrators that I’ve used before.

I think that’s all still addressed by him saying (paraphrased here) “learning C doesn’t teach you your system; it teaches you the C virtual machine.” You could just as easily teach the usefulness of lexical scoping and memory layout by teac

Or, even simpler, just stub out your hash function and to something that always generates the same value and test with that.

I feel like if this were true (searching doesn’t strengthen the original memory), it would lead to a dramatic difference in a cohort’s ability to remember trivial information that they learned a long time ago, but it also seems really hard

There are plenty of nice 32GB laptops out there on the market. I was issued one for work as early as 2017.

I would love to see a plane try to decelerate from 200+ mph with the surface quality changing every 200 yards and with 18-inch-deep potholes every so often. I wonder what sort of maintenance budget the original interstate plan envisioned

As someone who has generally tried to take your current approach and has generally been rewarded for it, yours is a refreshing perspective. There's a persistent voice in the back of my head that questions whether I'm acting out of

Click is just an easier way to get to the point of Nietzsche’s “eternal recurrence of the same” thought experiment. If (in the absence of things like destitution) you’ve chosen to live your life in such a way that you wanted to skip through

It makes total sense in hindsight that the original aim of the hackers was not some low-netting Bitcoin scam, but it still feels unsatisfying that all they were after with such elevated access was the sale of high profile usernames.

D.E. Shaw is not a high frequency shop. I would be very surprised if their daily transactions was more than 5% or so of their total book. More broadly, quant shops are not out to place bets on what they think will happen in the next few sec

Last time I worked on TPUs, a lot of very pervasive LA operations (e.g. Cholesky decomposition) were unoptimized and slow compared to the NN-style operations. I’m sure that can be fixed, but for the time being, it seems inappropriate for an
