I thought Gates' take on the human relational aspects of AI to be thoughtful, but I am surprised that his analysis on the economic and jobs aspect of AI offers little more than the party line. Every other technological advance that imp

This question is orthogonal to the question of whether ABA accreditation is beneficial.

This is a better article on the topic explaining that the ABA's requirements for different forms of diversity oppose the administration's ban on DEI. It also points out that this could lower the cost of law school by reducing supe

My longest employment stint was at such a company and it was a very good experience for me. That said, even though I worked at such a company for a while, I don't have a very good idea how I would go about identifying other such compan

Organizations such as the ACLU and the American Red Cross are registered organizations and I doubt you'd advocate for restricting or redefining their civil rights. Perhaps you'd draw the line at for-profit organizations, but that

There are certainly legitimate concerns about the influence of Amazon and other large corporations, but the solution is not so simple as what you suggest. Corporations are associations of people, so you are advocating for civil rights for i

As a previous comment noted, Elastic _did_ take them to court over the trademark and it was _not_ thrown out: https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-and-amazon-reach-agreeme...

I've found my moderately-priced Eaton 5S 1500 unit to perform considerably better than any of the non-pro APC models I used before it.

This. I finally switched from using various APC models to an Eaton 5S 1500 unit for my desktop and a couple peripherals and it's much better while still being comparably priced.

I would say that infrequently used tools are an especially good choice for battery-powered cordless tools when the alternative is typically a tool powered by a gas small engine. For example, I need a chainsaw for infrequent jobs, but every

This is most definitely true, but I think it highlights the mistaken idea that individual healthcare is a commodity. I think we all recognize that an excellent home builder, auto mechanic, attorney, software developer, etc., can have an out

Their X Compact line of phones was great with high-end SoCs and incredible battery life but unfortunately, they haven't released any new phones in that line for several years so they're pretty dated now.

Taking this approach to using a database is always a judgement call, but putting logic in the database is probably useful a lot more often than the "nine times out of ten" that the article claims. And the tradeoff in this approach

I've operated MySQL in production at different scales ranging up to _very_ large and as such, I place a lot of emphasis on how well that can be done. I posted some of this a couple years ago, but I would describe the production operati

It's certainly an accomplishment to achieve a highly productive per capita economy, but I don't think it's quite the slight on the US when the four countries with higher productivity per capita range in size from 0.3% to 2.8%

I've experienced a very similar effect. The health ROI on your time investment with strength-focused training is pretty incredible. If you could bottle it up and sell it, you'd be rich!

This article is focused on growth in muscle _size_ over growth in muscle _strength_. The two are related, but it's pretty well-established that you can bias your training towards one or the other. You can see the difference between exp

In the theme of the OP and by way of response, I've been lifting weights for decades but only in the last couple years realized that gloves were detrimental to lifting. They add a layer of material around the bar that increases its cir

Yep, this prompted me to uninstall the snap version of Firefox that was installed by default in Ubuntu 22.04 and reinstall it from the Standard Ubuntu repository. Score minus one for snap.

You're right that $200K won't buy a house with a pool in most desirable parts of Texas, but your quip about $1M houses in Frisco is misleading. Frisco is not just a "random suburb nobody outside of Texas has heard of." I

My work issues me a MBP that I can't stand, so finding a way to access it remotely has been a priority. For CLI apps, I SSH into it from a Linux machine, but for GUI apps, I've tried X (most Mac apps are Cocoa and not X-compatible

You're right about more gears in auto transmissions helping to keep the engine at its ideal RPM for torque. There are still more mechanical losses in an auto transmissions since the auto transmission's fluid-based torque converter

In terms of technological advances, the automatic transmission is a tenuous improvement over the manual transmission. It costs more to manufacture and service and it performs less well (transfers engine torque less efficiently to wheels and

In addition to the manufacturer, the type of appliance and its manufacture date really matters. I have an LG front-loading washing machine from the late 2000s that has been working fine for 14 years with one minor circuit board replacement.

It's a long story, but not exactly. Elasticsearch was developed independently by Shay Banon in 2010 and a couple others who are the founders of Elastic ( http://www.elastic.co ) under the Apache2 open source license. In March

I feel like a lot of the criticism and dismissals of management and corporate meetings like this unfairly and naively denigrate the value and importance of corporate strategy and processes in nearly the exact same way as engineering work an

I agree. I don't see any way that Bolt benefits from having outstanding loans to employees for early option exercise, so all this criticism of them seems misplaced. Say what you want about their business model, valuation, etc., but thi
