They’re unwilling to pay for fast mode because of the current step function price increase once you hit your quota. It’s a psychological effect. Because most shops I know in the US currently paying $125/mo per seat for Claude would hap

Unfortunately the problem is literally the way the government is structured from an electoral + mathematical perspective. Particularly heinous failure mode is polarization, which has been the norm for 50+ years (really started after Vietnam

The randomness is whether the committee reading your essays read them before or after lunch, or if something you wrote reminded them of their first romance, etc. etc. etc. The scores may not be "random" in the truest sense of the

I think OP is speaking about people who have 5x or more than their current salary in equities, where even a 50% temporary drop in assets will have no meaningful effect in lifestyle (and a long-term 50% drop in S&P would be apocalyptic,

On Linux I’ve done this by pinning processes to a certain range of CPU cores, and the scheduler will just keep one core free or something. Which allows whatever I need in terms of management to execute on that one core, including SSH orUI.

For events specifically, my cohort (somewhere between Gen-Z and Millenial) have moved event organizing entirely to Partiful, which I've found to be far superior to Facebook Events. Doesn't help with group posts though.

Nothing in this article (nor its citations) claim that the product is being discontinued. Ramping down production of this version is not the same as discontinuing - and even that probably doesn't have a huge impact on whatever long-ter

Wonks and experienced New Yorkers aren’t dumb. I too refused any apartment that wasn’t “No Fee”. But only a tiny fraction of the housing stock - especially very few “cheaper” places - are No Fee. And it is genuinely hard to not price anchor

If nothing else, the uncut video of the robot autonomously folding laundry for 10 minutes is incredibly impressive. Regardless of current robustness, or how long it took to get that specific clip, or how engineered the prompts are, this is

If you’re only doing vacation travel planning, sure. But there’s a long tail of advanced functionality used across all kinds of industries (with plugins upon plugins) that are most certainly not even close to being supported by any of the o

Yeah when you have way more applicants than you can possibly look at, the usual strategy is to just randomly sample 10% to review, and throw away the remaining 90% of resumes without even looking at them. This makes intuitive sense, as you

This doesn’t necessarily follow - it may be that the average potential buyer wants the same amount of house as before, but due to supply issues the lower end of potential buyers can’t afford to buy anything at all. And size doesn’t scale li

if you have a reproducible build, then the notion of "software was built on date by user " is kind of useless information, no? Because it does not matter - if you can verify that a specific git hash of a codebase results in a p
