   There are a bunch of fire tests for this thing on youtube. Can you imagine being on the engineering team for this thing and NOT fire testing it? That's the fun part!

   I wonder if many social problems are being "made worse" by the baumol effect. As productivity goes up in some areas of the economy, the relative cost of dealing with social problems goes up. Doctors, nurses, social workers, police

   I see a lot of "why is it allowed to continue" comments, but it's not clear to me that more police intervention would change much. You arrest one group of people, put them in jail - ok, now you have a market vacuum, what&#x27

   I do think it's a practical control if you are responsible for both the server AND all the client(s) code, i.e, it's feasible for you to micro-manage the fine detail of the auth dance. However if you are providing an oauth /

   Also conflicted, but I find myself happier working with "the dumbest thing that barely works" for a first release of something. To me, this is "optimal engineering under uncertainty". Obviously, there are limits. And may

   I feel this argument is weakened by the fact that no one training these models feeds their own proprietary source code into publicly available models. Practically speaking I feel this is a strong hint that some degree of copyright launderin

    I would go a bit further than that, and posit that most complex or interesting systems resist the construction of concise, accurate narratives and that one reason we fail in our management of complex economic, political and ecological sys

    The main resource you have when you're young is time. You can withhold it from "the system" but you don't get to keep it :(

    I think the problem they're trying to address is that "levelling the playing field" to achieve equitable health outcomes for Maori and Pacific Islanders is a "wicked problem" in the sense that there are many fundame

    I happen to agree, but that doesn't stop billions being spent on biodefense / biowarfare. The lines can get a bit blurry because a lot of that type of research is "dual use".

    In this case they are straight-forwardly reporting on an investigation by the Times, so trashing the source doesn't seem relevant or necessary.

    I would love to know how Japanese convenience stores can be stocked - even in out of the way places - with fresh, nutritious-ish food that isn't super expensive. I feel like there must be a huge and hidden (to me) supply chain to make

    Maxi checking in. I have racks of labelled drawers full of bearings, screws, glues, specialty tapes, oodles of hand tools, power tools, ad infinitum. I'm honestly not super competent or anything (I barely know what I'm doing, in a

    I am at the point where remote works better for me for a lot of what are ostensibly team / collaborative activities. For example, incident handling has been lot more efficient for us with the team looking at different aspects and shari

    In terms of actions, the US has gone as far as to kneecap a competitor's chip industry and restrict their GPU access. I reckon that behind closed doors there will be a strong sense that any kind of regulation that impedes AI developmen
