I was at a trampoline park last weekend (regular kind of place, everything padded for safety, as you'd imagine). A ten year old kid left in an ambulance, neck injury, one side of the body paralyzed at the time of the event. I really ho

AI: "this is a known open problem, I can not solve this, sorry." Prompt: "Can you try solving it, instead of not solving it?" AI: "Oh, sure, here you go!"

Hmm, that seems to contradict the article directly - insecticides were used to try to battle screwworm initially and were not really effective - the solution was using sterile male flies to stop reproduction - which would work in South Amer

Very interesting - I just installed pg_hint_plan [0] extension a few months ago to get around a query that was confusing the planner too much. Edge case, but when you need it you really need it. Haven't seen pg_plan_advice before, TIL!

Well, sure - braking is mostly relevant when merging to the slower lane, when merging to faster lane I generally do not need to - since that lane is already moving faster, just need to speed up slightly and time it for the right moment. My

I'll tell you what I specifically and intentionally do when I need to change lanes. I brake slightly, signal, and wait for the person on my right or my left to pull ahead of me, then change lanes immediately _behind_ them. Then sit the

You don't need it until you need it, and needing it often comes in the form of a lightning strike from blue sky. The counterargument is that having everyone pay a higher amount makes it feasible to actually have this coverage availabl

I hope they find a way to open-source it! Seeing years of hard engineering work disappear into a black hole would be truly sad.
