There's a lot to your point. Tech companies with barely functioning enterprise software products (or worse, companies that can acquire other companies and their enterprise products) can burn the bridge to the past by de-investing in le

My reaction to the title was "AI is learning enough from misogynistic assholes in its crawled data already, it doesn't need Bukowski's help."

Assume for a moment that the code of cost is zero, and the barrier to entry for coding is gone. Furthermore, let's say you don't want to do anything innovative, you just want to clone, so a huge part of your product management bur

First thing to note is that while the pictures are from the 1960s, the article merely says that Ford uses (and has used, for years) these caves to store cars in transit. The Kansas City Ford plant manufactures more trucks/vans in a day

There's a Ford manufacturing plant 3-5 miles from many of Kansas City's limestone caves along the Missouri river. And as the comment-linked video down below shows, these warehouses are vast and even used for commercial businesses.

Here's my suggestion. Find a good audiobook version at your local library through Libby or Hoopla. The one I listened to was about 24 hours in length, but shorter at 1.25x. After every chapter or so, check out the annotated version her

Strong "I drink your milkshake!" vibes from these proposals. Both of these proposals require political stability we're unlikely to see over 600 or 50,000 years. You have to be thinking some kind of self-sustaining and monumen

Same size is important. There's likely also 12-15% shrinkflation that increases this significantly.

>> $2.50/box today relative to $2.00/box in 2019 represents +25% inflation...so nowhere near purported pre-COVID levels. Annualized, that is 5.7% inflation. (1.25 increase ^ 0.25 for 4 years elapsed). So not pre-covid levels

Have you all read any old Apple II source? One reason very early on was to seed the PRNG (rnd() function) with variable input. https://www.applefritter.com/content/random-number-generatio... Maybe it carried over to mo

It is certainly worsened by the period of zero interest rates, which fueled a massive viral outbreak of promotion-driven development cultures among most of the largest tech employers. Recent mass layoffs in tech really aren't an antibo

10:10 wasn't always dominant. Look at some print ads for watches from the 1920s and 1930s. 8:18 was used just as frequently if not more so. It's the "other" time where the hands are balanced and equidistant from the 12 a

I suspect it's a little of column A and a little of column B. I asked my pop this question in the early 1970s and his answer was the first part of the SO answer--so that it wasn't dated as old. This predated the internet, predated

I am biased, but building the Intro to Information Retrieval chapters in your favorite language, bit by bit, is really good to get the feel of the tradeoffs for index capabilities.

It's typical for unvested RSUs to accelerate and vest on change in control. Based on the 10k, there were about $2.2B worth of unvested RSUs at the start of 2022. Musk's $44 billion likely covered some or all of that (or whatever %

The soundtrack to Railroad Tycoon II was amazing. I miss that game most. Second place might be Falcon 3.0 for Mac and 4.0 for PC. Third place Crystal Quest for the old Macs.

My HP-11C is going on 36 years old, flawless, and is reportedly Turing complete [1]. Echoing the @dbtc comment that there are likely many special purpose computers that are closing in on this. [1] https://www.hpmuseum.org/cg

I once toured an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright home and a lot of what I learned there was about the impracticality around the maintenance of the home, and the challenge of subsequent restoration efforts. Was not surprised to see that architects
