If the AI wants to be exempt from being punished for training on copyrighted works the bare minimum standard is that it doesn’t accidentally copy and reproduce large portions of that work. There are quite a few examples of Stable Diffusion

It’s the Code Karle one. The presenter has a thick Indian accent but is still understandable, which I’d probably say was the main negative.

You absolutely can prepare for system interviews it’s just some of the best content for doing so is behind paywalls. I opted to buy a course on leetcode covering this topic and my performance before was like night and day. Going through abo

I’ve reduced purchases on non-Amazon sites because they expect me to pay to ship a return back to them. Amazon not only pays all return costs they send someone to my door to pick up the return. Adding friction does lose customers.

I think the problem is based on hit rate the number is a lot higher than $50. If you're charging $10/month the average user lasts 12 months and the number of users who marry is 10% then you're charging $1200 for a successful

Modules aren't an alternative to microservices in a reasonable way though. And for all modules solve the modularization problem at the code level, they don't really solve modularization at the service level. The main alternative

There are tradeoffs. Most of the time I find terminology has drifted so substantially over time that reading old papers isn't worth the effort. I instead usually look for literature review type of papers that often have good summaries

The tolerance for high salaries in government is basically non-existant. People throw fits in my region about teachers with 30 years experience and the maximum scale making just over $100k/year Canadian (just over $70k/USD). So y

For me the initial response time isn’t the biggest deal (and I’m surprised the effect size of a single day delay is so large). What matters more is having a quick turnaround whenever I give you a set of times from my schedule. Companies are

Talent doesn’t go into public service anymore unless they have extraordinarily rare values. Even if tech salaries get cut in half they’d be a good deal higher than government salaries. Working a government job in the Bay Area means acceptin

As a software engineer a good part of my job is communication and having that communication come with an eight hour time zone shift would substantially impede the job. Yes you can hire remotely if people are working largely the same hours o

Usually this means your property grew in value faster than the rest of the city so you now pay for a higher total percentage of the cities budget. This has happened to me too. Roughly speaking if the mill rate falls from 1.0% to 0.9% but yo

It’s annoying that articles repeatedly wrongly claim that reduced real estate prices lead to reduced real estate taxes. The method of computation of real estate taxes generates a mil rate which is the percentage rate that needs to be charge

The thing is total comp tends to multiply based on region and most companies adjust salaries based on where you live. If my cost of living is double in the Bay Area but my salary is also doubled I pay slightly more tax and save like 180% of

They don’t even need to be threatened with closure. You just need to be able to eliminate the “it wasn’t us it was our partner merchant” defence for liability on their site and the whole thing would collapse like a house of cards.

I think you have a very skewed view on why people aren’t having kids. Many people want kids but choose not to have them because they can’t afford enough space for them or don’t want to raise them while living with their parents. The number

A great IC with the right skill sets and inclinations to be a manager will be the best manager compared to a mediocre IC or someone out of field. Most ICs don’t have the right skill sets or inclinations for management and end up being a dis

It definitely depends on where you are in life and what you want from life but for those of us who live in crazy housing markets good TC is the only way to have a mortgage. It’s kind of crazy to be a successful dev and be stuck forever rent

So they have the same strategy in the sense that absolutely everyone who ever made money had one strategy and they have a different strategy in a way that is useful and informative? I’d label that different rather than same.

GPA is problematic because not all high schools have access to the elite courses that push a GPA beyond 4.0 and many top schools look for an admission barrier around 4.5 (some with exceptions for valedictorians only).

The problem is not understanding how to rate a candidate but understanding what the ratings will accomplish and what voting strategy should be used to get your intended outcome.

Isn’t giving each candidate a score even more gameable than ranking candidates. If I like candidate A and think candidate B is their best opposition I can give candidate A 5.0 and candidate B 0.0 even if my real opinion of candidate B is 3.

They have to write the latter because at the time of the offer letter the share price on the conversion date is not known. If you get hired on September 1st and the first board meeting after is September 19th, your RSUs will get converted

A teacher can learn the curriculum far faster but any educator will tell you they do a better job of teaching a lesson when they’ve already taught it before. Looping literally means every lesson you teach will be your first time teaching it

This book very much comes off as someone who works with the top 10% of kids and has a plan that will work wonderfully for them. But it’s not even remotely realistic for the bottom 10% of kids who would play video games all day on their phon

Agree 100%. Micromanaging someone’s lessons by actually reviewing the plans is an exercise in frustration and futility. But as a student you’d know when your teacher showed up unprepared and tried to wing it.

Looping is stupid though because whatever small benefits accrue they don’t justify teachers learning a new curriculum every year as they bounce from grade to grade. I want my grade eight history course taught by someone who knows grade eigh

It always surprises me the right wants to ban books. After all they want minors to read a book with beastiality in it. It will be fun to see what the courts say on banning the bible from elementary schools in Florida on the grounds that bea
