Gateway timeout, 504 host error. My mattress is stuck foot-side up.

Japanese is full of loanwords precisely because those good folks on the other side of the world find so many things about Western culture fascinating. My Japanese father-in-law even played QB and Safety for his university's American-st

I reckon these official converters were instrumental in Tengen's work for reverse engineering the NES to run "unlicensed" games. It turns out that another blog post on this site explains exactly that: https://nicol

I don't see how being compensated for giving your organ to someone else is worse than being told you can either give it away for free or not at all. Imagine if billionaires had to pay the "riff-raff" organ donors to continue

You're right, but it still sucks that my car now depreciates as fast as my Macbook. I don't think batteries will ever hold their value though, and those things constitute at least $10k of an EV's sticker price. Hopefully as E

It seems the once "Great" Britain cannot let go of its grandiose delusions of ruling over and "civilizing" the entire known world. I've always held onto the suspicion that the distinction between left-wing and right

Reminds me of a time-honored aphorism in running: A marathon consists of two halves: the first 20 miles, and then the last 10k (6.2mi) when you're more sore and tired than you've ever been in your life.

I don't care if there are some special privileges unlocked at higher "karma" levels, I hope my "karma" stays at 69 forever because of this thread.

The OP's article does a lot more to disprove such a hypothesis by instead offering a more credible alternative explanation: Neurons found in the CNS have tubles large enough to allow transport of ions and even relatively large polypept

Only if you earnestly give a rat's ass about all of the above. Again, you're thinking of an "agile" stakeholder- not a "stakeholder capitalism" stakeholder. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

That's the magic of action potentials. As sodium ions (+1 charge) propagate, they dissipate throughout the cytosol and sometimes leak out of the cell membrane, but they also trigger their own influx of regenerative current by opening v

Like I said, that's the engineering context of the word. In business managerial side of operations, "stakeholder" is definitely a weasel word. The word "stakeholder" in "stakeholder capitalism" as used by

Not to be pedantic, but I think you mean "shareholders". In the context of software, the term "stakeholder" means anyone who will use the project being worked on. In the context of business, "stakeholder" is an

A lot of those design decisions in OSes were influenced by hardware limitations of home computers in the 1970s and 1980s. UNIX may have been around since '71, but Windows NT was designed to expose an API similar to DOS-based Windows 95

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people being billionaires "in theory". If someone makes billions of dollars doing something that adds $10 of value to my life, then God bless! The problem lies in practice- when they

"I would like C++ would be a little more "batteries included" in some ways, like having a basic standard for signals, networking (just handling sockets would be a huge thing), and some basic system calls." Besides basic

All you did was link to the main page of a wikipedia article and copy and paste the first sentence. Your response is so lazy, it doesn't even deserve a response, but I'm putting this out here for the benefit of the general public:

Just a friendly reminder: The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos. Of course he doesn't want people to think that tariffs can bring back middle class manufacturing jobs, and naturally he would want to publish propaganda intended to

I still cannot believe the Geneva Conventions allowed this. This should have ended with John Kerry and Jen Psaki in a Swiss prison for at least 10 years, if not Barack Obama himself. We managed to convict accused war criminals with a lot le

On a related note, I'm skeptical of the feasibility of their 2035 EV-only mandate. They haven't made any meaningful progress toward building up a grid that can support as much electrical power consumption as they will need. I know

That is a good point I completely overlooked: your international flight can get redirected to a country you never intended to visit.

Thanks, man! This helps a lot, because as you say the algorithm is not intuitive. The description of the type of data it is very good for is the best value-adding part of this writeup. Greatly appreciated!

Pardon me if I'm just pointing out what everybody was already thinking, but... More so than feeding random gibberish into existing LLMs to fight copyright infringement and plagiarism, I could see a bad actor feeding LLMs with malicious

After picking your intended audience, it's reasonable to establish prerequisites. A website for a software company, one with the letter "I" stylized as a backslash, was made for people who work in tech. Even if you're ju

I follow Charlie Munger's advice and substitute the phrase "bullshit earnings" anywhere I see mention of EBITDA. If the GAAP income is negative, the company lost money last year. End of story.

You're right if you're only looking at peak sequential throughput. However, and this is the part that the author could have emphasized more, the impressive part is their strategy for dealing with disk access latency to improve ran

I liked Tulsi Gabbard's "two-tier" proposal for healthcare reform back in 2020. Grant state or federal government full control over emergency care and only the most expensive and obscure cancer treatments all of which act eco
