Did any of those links provide evidence that Instagram deliberately withholds likes? If not, it seems like a non-sequitur.

A lot of comments are suggestions and/or complaints, so I just came to say I loved it, no notes.

Ok I realize you're making a point, but 10 launches a day comes out to about $15 trillion a year, that's like half of the US GDP

Almost everything? Most money for fundamental atmospheric research flows through NASA. People always forget that only half of NASA's budget is for rocketry and human space flight, and the other half is science.

Do you have kids? How would school even work? 20 years ago in high school we were expected to use the internet. And these days internet integration in school is far stronger, my 6 year old's daily homework is entirely online.

My Spanish is infinitely better than it would have been if Duolingo didn't exist, because I don't really have a burning desire to learn Spanish, but I do like playing games on my phone and watching numbers go up.

When I bought my Leaf last year, I actually didn't have range anxiety because I assumed the infrastructure was better than it actually was. But I'm shocked that at most places I drive to don't even have a charging station,

FWIW, I fed in the same problematic prompt to all the current ChatGPT models and even the legacy/mini models enumerated a bunch of pitfalls and considerations. I wonder why/how it managed to tell the author everything was perfect?

But the other 3 results are that the randomness is "irreducible", which I'm assuming means we can never actually get rid of the randomness. And smaller portion believe that randomness is just apparent, which I'm assuming

Conclusively was probably too strong of a word, as there are technically still two ways to get hidden variables to work: 1) If we allow information to be non-local, i.e. we allow information to travel instananeously. Allowing this would jus

So the article says "quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories". Hidden variable theory is what you were describing initially. It basically says that there must secretly be deterministic rules to quantu

An experiment that proved that there are no local variables which secretly determine the outcome of a quantum measurement won the Nobel Prize in 2022: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem It appears to be c

Yeah 8 hours would be quite a bit for a day. I'll tell you our use case. We receive a large dump of data 2 times a week, and we spin up 5 machines to process the data files. We have one machine that uses a GPU, one that needs like 128G

The best part about the cloud for me is that it scales down to ZERO. We used to get large on-prem servers that could handle the worst case, only for them to sit idle 90% of the time. Now we just spin up the 5-10 EC2s we need a couple days a

Sorry, to clarify, after I received a profound effect from the drug I scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD and I have been on my own prescription ever since.

I used to think like that, and to some extent I think its good to have some neurodiversity. I do have a relatively successful career after all. That said, the day I randomly decided to try half of a pill of my wifes Adderall changed my life

When I was 20 and in college, I used to work at a Barnes and Noble. When I was working the registers one day, I apparently forgot to put a $300 gift card in a lady's bag at checkout. The store manager got a complaint about it like a m

Both companies I've worked for rely on government contracts, and in general feel pretty calm. It's hard to feel super rushed when the software isn't delivered for a few years. I don't think I make anywhere near industry

My wife just did this a few days ago, she was bed ridden with the flu and I was out getting her some medicine. The police came for a wellness check, and my wife had to talk to them through doorbell camera and explain that she can't com
