More and more of the social networks are just the algorithm though - tiktok, X, Facebook, etc. How much of your feed does the average use personally know now?

In comparison it’s much faster to draw, infinitely more portable and much less distracting. I use pen and paper for self notes that are throwaway in nature or exploring ideas. For artefacts that are meant to be shared with others I use a co

Not sure I follow. The constants like Price or Currency would be available across threads. Also, if you’re writing a custom data class, you’d need to write code to support immutability which this article’s approach handles

This is a bunch of pseudoscience that isn't proven by anything at all and isn't peer reviewed either

Except that if you’re an exceptional candidate you might get uplevelled or they might find money in the budget for you that didn’t previously exist for the role (more so if it’s a small company) By asking these questions up front you might

A union strike requires a union. That’s why it works because everyone votes the same way. What we have now is prisoners dilemma; some photographers will take pictures of ULA launchers and others will not.

Three buildup of troops by Russia along the Ukrainian border started in 2021, which is when the US left Afghanistan. I'm not the parent nor am I saying the two wars are related but it's not unfathomable to think that American inte

There's also those of us who don't have kids, don't want them and would love to go to a theme park without dealing with 5 year olds crying or toddlers throwing tantrums.

Sadly it's a dying art form. 40-50 years ago every scientific university department used to have a scientific photographer to allow the researchers to publish their photos in articles. My own godfather was a scientific photographer who

This hasn't been true for a long time now, more so for major routes. Just to check, I looked up prices for flights from LAX-JFK and compared them to a flight from Vancouver to Toronto, both in the middle of July. The Canadian flight wa

Where in Canada are you getting 2$ for a liter of milk? It’s almost double that everywhere I’ve seen.

What would that practically look like? How would circular dependencies be resolved, for example?

LLMs are better at this and it’ll probably marginally improve the output quality but there can potentially be hallucinations (false positives or negatives) even in this evaluation task.

Half a liter is ⅔ of a standard bottle of wine. Even if it is only 11% ABV, this still equates to 55 ml of ethanol. An average 14 year old male weighs 112 lbs, about 70% of an adult’s size. So if we extrapolate linearly, 55 ml of ethanol wo
