You can use a service like TaskRabbit for it.

Couldn't most of the backlash (the legitimate parts) be addressed by changing the title of the show to LOTR fanfic: Rings of Power?

I believe GPT-3 has a transformer-based architecture. So it doesn't recursively ingest it's own output in each iteration. I believe attention-based transformer models have enough complexity to be able to learn what you are talking

80-100k for 6-10 years of experience sounds about right. I have even seen cases of people earning around 80k at 3-4 YOE.

I don't think he is making any moral judgements in his analysis. It is you who are imposing your moral judgement here. He is taking a realist position here.

Yeah, this is the right place to fight about who has better tolerance for either extremes of heat without recognizing that people grow up in and adapt to very different climates.

When saying things like this, it is better to contextualize by giving some information about where you live. Some people live in areas where temperatures go as low as -20~30 C and not leaving the heating on can damage the house infrastructu

Are you talking about a hypothetical scenario or do you actually do this? I am asking because as people start earning more money, lifestyle creep introduces new types of expenses. So they also have expenses to think about other than busines

I agree with the general point but in practice you will find a range of people with the same supposed responsibilities. Not all of them would be executing them at the same level. Of course, this could be rectified by having finer grained ti

It might benefit workers in general but I don't think it will benefit me as a software engineer. The salary becomes tied to the job title/level and it becomes hard for me to individually negotiate. When the salary is tied to the j

Even computer engineering is like that --- a bunch of neat ideas supported by an inordinate number of man-hours. But since you are stuck as a CS Major, here are some areas that you might find interesting: 1. Security --- This is an arms rac

That is ironic coming from a Canadian. Just recently, a lot of money poured in from Canada to support the farmer protest in India. Here is one example: https://www.gofundme.com/f/donatetofarmers PS: Not that I support

This was not just fake news, this was deliberate misinformation. A title saying 'FB threatens to leave EU' means something very different from 'FB lists EU regulation as a potential threat to business in SEC filings'

My knowledge about biking infrastructure is lacking but doesn't it make sense to allow/promote biking on the sidewalks as a start? Once biking gains more acceptance, allocating more budget for proper biking lanes would become much

Not all religions are centered around the existence of a god though. A religion can be centered around any ideology, you only have to treat it as sacrosanct.

Yeah, I have the same concern as well. However, I felt that being able to visualize things in my head allowed me to solve some of these problems very quickly (in around 4-5 seconds). I can make the 2-d image collapse into the 3-d object in

But each according to their needs in the end devolves into each according to their abilities. There was never a need for computers, there was never a need for the internet. I would say that it is tough to say whether there is any need for a

You might be right here. My comment was more of my expectation as a reader on what should be present in such a paper.

If a non-standard dataset is being used, I would expect there to be a discussion/analysis on what characteristics of that dataset made it unusable for this paper. Especially if a proposed model is being compared against models that wer

You mentioned that it cured your lactose intolerance. So are you now able to drink any amount of milk without side effects? I have extreme lactose intolerance, so I will give it a try if that is the case. Also, do you have any links to the

I am not from the US but I did appear for the SAT. The books are more than enough to get a very good score on the SAT. In my opinion, SAT is not difficult enough for coaching to make a very big difference.

The British empire was extractive and exploitative in nature. They didn't just rule over these people, they ruled with the aim of extracting as much wealth and resources as possible. Many people wouldn't mind living under an oppre

My main point was that salaries are based on the employee market that a company can utilize. So 'cost of living adjustments' are going to become a norm in a remote-first world. Regarding the competencies of developers in India, I

Most people who cry about CoL adjustments don't realize that the developers working in India are doing the same job for 1/5th the salary. In a remote-first world, there is going to be some averaging of pay as the pool of the talen

I don't get why the interviewer suggests that the author deserves some compensation. Did metaverse as an idea did not exist before Snow Crash?

I don't use Facebook, so don't care much about that but my productivity would definitely increase (temporarily?) if HN goes down.
