You will have a really hard time convincing Americans to keep paying high taxes while funding is pulled from their children’s schools and redistributed to inner cities and ruralia. My observations suggest the problem for the latter isn’t fi

As I see it, it's actually the only safe bet. Case 1: you keep training engineers. Case 1.1: AGI soon, you don't need juniors or seniors besides a very few. You cost yourself a ton of money that competitors can reinvest into R&amp

Most employment is at will, but salaried employees usually have specified severance in case of termination for convenience. Misrepresenting qualifications does in fact create a case for damages unless the employee is literally perfect. But

The question is usually understood to mean "on an ongoing basis" and it's essentially lying. The system may not be correct or kind, but I'd have a lot of trouble trusting someone whose response to "the system isn&#x

This is a bit of a game theory problem. "Training senior engineers" is an expensive and thankless task: you bear essentially all the cost, and most of the total benefit accrues to others as a positive externality. Griping at compa

I believe cursor now supports parallel tasks, no? I haven't done much with it personally but I have buddies who have. If you want one idiot's perspective, please hyper-focus on model quality. The barrier right now is not tooling,

I am a major hater of many (most?) crypto applications, which should tell you something since the idea of a decentralized currency outside state control is one that deeply appeals to my principles. But this is one of the better applications

We "invest" more than almost anyone. 38% higher than the OECD average. I don't find discussions about throwing more money at the problem to be constructive so much as a way to ignore other issues at play. I don't really

This seems like more of an issue with accessibility of the treatment than the treatment itself If we could make most children smart, productive, ambitious, courteous, civil, conscientious, honorable, strong... the value to society is probab

Can you explain why this is a bad thing, or is it just “”the rich” bad”?

Interesting. I've never tested o1-pro because it's insanely expensive but preview seemed to do okay. I wouldn't be shocked if huge, expensive-to-run models performed better and if all the "optimized" versions were a

I've found sonnet-3.7 to be incredibly inconsistent. It can do very well but has a strong tendency to get off-track and run off and do weird things. 3.5 is better for this, ime. I hooked claude desktop up to an MCP server to fake claud

I'm not really defending it, I'm explaining the mentality. iMessage is probably closer to "something I have" but yeah, often not true for many American users. I'd probably keep a TOTP app if I actually brought my ce

Phone numbers are used like this because in the Year of our Lord 2025, they’re the best way to semi-solve the Sybil problem even somewhat without having to literally do some kind of KYC

This is probably compliance-related. For me, TOTP isn’t “something I have”, it’s another thing I toss into my password manager and sync to all devices. I really agree with it, but that’s probably their rationale.

The point here is to avoid the oracles of the world getting everything. Please trust me on this one: fedramp isn’t really about security. Compliance with it doesn’t ensure it and noncompliance doesn’t preclude it. It was okay when originall

You’re not separating what you call “pushiness” from mere presence. Notice how you picked two minuscule religions with tiny numbers of believers, and therefore very little community, worldwide?

Attacking something over its Christian roots that is no longer generally understood to be Christian is, in fact, anti-Christian bigotry. There is no policy of attacking things with any religious roots, just ours.

I'll second the zed recommendation, sent from my M4 macbook. I don't know why exactly it's doing this for you but mine is idling with ~500MB RAM (about as little as you can get with a reasonably-sized Rust codebase and a lang

So what? The alternative acronyms are neologisms created specifically out of anti-Christian sentiment. If y'all were operating in good faith, these would catch the same level of attention: - Sabbatical, originating from Sabbath, a Jude

This isn't especially relevant. It barely covered a few scraps of northwest India. Most "Indo-Greek" civilization and culture was concentrated in Bactria and Sogdiana, not those few scraps of modern-day India, and BC Indo-Gre

Firstly, most people either don't know or don't regularly consider what BC and AD mean. No more than they remember i.e. stands for "id est" or know what the Latin means. These are basically opaque wrappers where there&#x

I am saying the perspective of classical antiquity and its heir in western civilization, of which America is the current exemplar, is the correct one.

Pagan in this case would also exclude Judaism in its many different forms, which certainly had a long written tradition by that point.

No, of course not. The accuracy of the original statement isn't the point. The point is to invalidate the ideologically-motivated conniption fit some people are pitching about a framing that is meet for the topic to have.

That's not parochial, that's realistic. If you have an axe to grind with American dominance that's your own bias; it's a fact, not something you can argue with on objective grounds. Keep your personal anti-Americanism ou

Fun project! I think the smallest I ever shrunk a win32 application was on the order of 2-4kb by writing in ASM. It was a great illustration of why 10x binary size is actually a great trade-off in terms of productivity.

Indian studies were not part of the world of classical antiquity and you know it. Nobody is calling them pagan. And no, stripping that descriptor removes information from the statement.
