   I've never understood why anti-scalpers just don't work backwards from shipping address. Are these scalpers all really keeping hundreds of actual physical addresses they can receive packages at? Like if you see the limited product

   Yeah MCP isn't really doing a whole lot. You can give an LLM a generic HTTP extension. Then list a series of GET/POST/PUT and ask it to form the calls and parse the response. The problem is its not really ideal as the calls a

   Interesting read. Curious how the author feels re: the attack on airbases using shipping containers/drones that was so successful? Seems to be a unique case that worked especially well for (higher end I'm sure) FPV drones. Getting

   So as someone who took many of those remedial math classes this article rubbed me a bit the wrong way. Not necessarily that any of his descriptions are wrong about the students or the type of things it covers. Instead there seemed to be thi

    So my $0.02 from being on both the hiring and trying to get hired side of the fence. Also I can't do a whiteboard interview to save my life, never could. I mostly think the process everyone is running makes a bit more sense for entry-l

    Honestly, I feel like this is another bi-product of 0% interest rates for so long. Bankers have essentially stopped caring at all about deposit amounts. Many banks still offer 0.x% interest even with most T-bills paying 5%+. It is an odd po

    Agree this is a UX problem. They need an option, "Pay minimum + X amount each month" so a user could set it to be $25 for their min + $50 to pay down a bit of the balance. This is actually the prescribed way most places recommend

    Scientist lurkers in the thread take note. We have a couple for the first cohort for testing to see if their mouth biome differs from base population. Inquiring minds want to know!

    So within the existing population today there exist individuals who essentially never get cavities. The hypothesis for this has been 1. they don't eat sugar, or only fibrous foods, etc. 2. They have a genetic difference that builds str

    There is a decent episode on this on The Daily by the NYT. Gives some historical context of the give and take of the unions and big 3. One takeaway, this particular new union leader is the first directly elected one in a very long time. Pri

    1. So this is a gambit in the contract negotiations, its unlikely to be taken seriously but can be given up at a later date. The first stage of these negotiations always has a ton of these whacky asks. 2. Since the concessions the union mad

    I once saw a young lady in the lab in Soda hall getting obviously frustrated. A few moments later she exclaimed, "Why is it so f**ing hard!" and then as if in a cartoon slammed her forehead into the lab computers keyboard repeated

    Took CS61AL (Lab version) about a decade ago. Even knowing how to program and working in industry for several years it was not easy. I think my class was one of the last to use Scheme before they switched towards Python and was entirely tau

    Also board from back to front. Yes first class has to wait, but it would save so much time. Even if they boarded first class then did the rest of the plane back to front it would speed up loading by like a good 10 minutes most likely.

    So I guess "Whistle-blower" is appropriate here, but marketing a "batch" processing system as "real-time" seems to be a bit of a nothing-burger in my mind. I think the more telling thing is he seems to have rai

    So I haven't ridden the Loop in Vegas, but have seen the videos of people riding it. My first thought was what happens when one of those lithium-ion batteries malfunctions in such a small space? Did they install fire suppressant? How i

    What I think is interesting, at least in the case of Veritas default in SF, is that they are then allowed to bid to buy the debt at a discounted price. They are using a different financial backer and likely just management on the properties

    Good lord, $26.4K. Yeah not quite car-level worth it to me, although I'm sure they are very nice. Was thinking like $250-300, for a sort of anti-tech punk thing at tech parties.

    The irony of this is Google is very much a culture of spending vast amounts of resources on internal/external tools. They have a significant product category in GSuite. So when I see them making statements about the effectiveness of in

    I'll try to give sort of another analogy. With everyone at home on an individual laptop there is essentially one channel of communication. A single audio and video channel showing the presentation, or someones face talking, or whatever

    This is just using the AI hype as cover to not get slammed by the markets. If they came out and said "We are pausing hiring..." the markets would rightly be like "Man they are screwed..." Expect to see more of this from
