Turns out the guy in question was in fact a jackass (based on this clip). I didn't read it that way. But the far bigger point is that Musk was even more uncivil and obnoxious in his response to that situation. That was no less than a

Having happy employees is very good for business profitability. It's what these companies pretend to believe, at least. Whether they actually, in reality, act in a way that make their employees happy -- or in a manner that is even fa

Unstaffed hotels have a major (in my view, fatal) flaw staring you right in the face: poor security. The one and only time I stayed in such a place - an intruder was caught entering my room and diddling with a phone I left there - and he on

"Hotels turn to robots to keep wages down" is the title they meant to use.

Would at least be a lot harder to simply cram one's way through than the algorithm stuff.

My mistake for joining a conversation in which the local neighborhood improvement association was literally compared with the Gestapo.

It's absolutely a slippery slope. Except that it isn't - and you yourself have slipped into a classic fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

We lost Julie Cruise earlier in the year, too. It's almost too much.

A quick search confirms that are -plenty- of nice, boutique hotels (in downtown areas of the usual fancy cities) offering perfectly decent rooms in the under $300/night range, even on short notice. The only reason we go for the Ritz&#

The latter essentially translates to the former. They're just trying to drive the point home.

If I’d spend my own money to stay at the Ritz-Carlton (I like nice places, I have the money to pay for it, etc.), then why does this make me a bad fit for GitLab? Because you missed the crucial qualifying phrase, "every night".

When Leila asked her manager, Gemma, why Angel was allowed to come to her for decisions, Gemma chided Leila for her “lack of vision” and criticized her “poor communication” and “weak leadership” — all while praising Angel’s “initiative.” G

CSV isn't suitable when you have a nested structure. As the post acknowledges right about where you stopped skimming. And you almost always have/need a nested structure, no? No.

http://synapticpaint.com/dreambooth/browse/ Can you explain the value of these models, please? This is a serious question. My eyes just see one horrendously ugly (and dystopian) eyesore after another.

LLM is the major trend. Focus entirely on that and the tools landscape and how to integrate it and apply it. Rather than jump on the same horse that everyone is jumping on, maybe one should start looking at where language models fail -- a

For East Coast employers in the U.S. - make yourself a night owl, and be available 9p-11p local time (9a-11a Eastern). For West Coast employers, you become an early riser: 6a-8a local = 3p-5p Pacific. That should be a decent compromise tha

Beats me, but it's safe to say that you sure do like changing the subject a lot.

I think if you went there and asked around, you would find that their basic attitude on this question is extremely level-headed and sober. Nobody there "likes war" or wants to be in this fight as a matter of patriotic belief or so

What percentage of the people in Ukraine appreciate what you are doing? Is that even a question? By all indications, the percentage is extremely high (outside of the Crimea, and some parts of the Donbass).

Know that the odds are stacked against you - but be persistent and press on anyway. The minority who are willing to look past your age (who will also be the better ones to work for) will pick up on your persistence and see it as a positive

interviews were far too easy (I’m glad you like me but if you can’t really discern whether I’m good at my job, you’ve probably hired other people who are bad at theirs), Maybe they have ways of evaluating your potential without subjecting

This is my own experience: if the recruiters don't call me back, that means I fail. No - it just means the decision has been made, and you won't be hired. Which is different from "you failed". It could just as easily

So you would probably be stuck carrying two phones around. The main point is that if landlords want to go this route -- they must provide means of egress, without any additional costs imposed upon the tenant (unless agreed to otherwise

I am not a lawyer, but based on my experience with New York tenant law the attorney is correct that the apartment management only needs to provide you with a means to enter and secure the apartment. Meaning - if that "means" is

In my experience in software it's common for similar words to be used for different concepts in different contexts. Right, but when it happens it's usually because these words get used differently in different domains. What&#x27
