We have a “don’t get the slack subpoenaed” emoji that gets frequent use. Incidentally, a lawyer doing discovery in the future could just search for uses of that emoji to find what they’re looking for.

The same reason we give beginner math students addition and subtraction problems, not Fermat’s last theorem? There has to be a base of knowledge available before the student can even comprehend many/most open research questions, let al

12/32 SR71s were lost in the 33 years they were flying. 11/200 MD-11s have been hull-lost from 1988-2025. Not to mention that passenger/cargo planes will put on a lot more flight hours than the SR71s did in a given year.

I don't have any nim experience (sorry!) but I'm also exploring SDL3 with odin. I was able to get a naive battleship clone up and working very quickly, pretty neat. Next step is the new SDL3 GPU API.

The college I went to explicitly billed itself as for teaching, and most of our professors were just that. They might do research with the upperclassmen, but their priority was teaching. That is, until we got a new president who set a new s

Are there many people involved in follow the sun support or SRE roles there? I know my company only has an engineering presence in Aus and Japan because of the large coverage gap between the US west coast and the EU. Seems like low wages +

I've found the same effect when I ask the LLM to do the thinking for me. If I say "rewrite this function to use a list comprehension", I don't retain anything. It's akin to looking at Stack Overflow and copying the

No services, only goods. This is according to @JamesSurowiecki on Twitter, one of the first to reverse engineer the equation for how they’re coming up with the numbers. So Office, Netflix, etc wouldn’t count against the deficit.

The union isn't officially launched yet, the talk is at 15:30 Pacific (six hours from now). Even if you can directly tie the quality of AAA games to if the workers who make them are unionized or not, I think it's a little prematur

In a similar vein, 0911 or 9111 will often work too for communities in the US. EMS and other first responders run into the same issue with automated calls or panicked people, so they’ll try that first while waiting for dispatch. That code w

Were they hired to do fraud detection for the US government? Do you have any idea how businesses work in general? Or are you being obtuse on purpose? Come on, man. Have some self-respect.

Pardon? This is about how Thomson Reuters was funded by DARPA to do a study on defending against social media attacks at scale. It has nothing to do with any of the points you brought up, and I fail to see the connection.

It was awarded to Thomson Reuters, the parent company. They do a lot of work in risk management and fraud detection, so they have a lot of expertise.

Where are you seeing that there’s two pieces? I’m only seeing it referred to as one program there. I’m not a govt contracts expert so by all means let me know what I’m missing.

I'd agree except for the ability to search in an e-book. There's nothing worse than knowing the textbook in front of you contains the answer you need but not remembering which of the 1500 pages contains it. Being able to CTRL-F sa

For 4, it would be neat to first pass each block of code (function or class or whatever) through an llm to extract meaning, and then embed some combination of llm parsed meaning, docstring and comments, and function name. Then do semantic s

I remember the ads in old Car&Track and Road&Driver magazines at the doctor’s office. They always had a veneer of illegality to them, even in states where they were legal. Funny how something like Waze doesn’t. I wonder if it’s that

Congrats on the launch! I've been thinking about a similar concept, except focusing on support teams instead of sales. Same idea though, pre-record a walkthrough of the product for playback later. Some thoughts: - Can I embed these on

What sort of enforcement mechanisms are in place if you don't register your encryption with ANSSI? In other words, if you ignored them what could they do? Would they even give a shit?

Yeah that's probably based on the BMI definition. Overweight is a BMI > 25, and obese is > 30. So yes, nearly the entire cohort was overweight by definition. BMI is a population measure and normal, healthy people can definitely f

Thanks for the link, that's brilliant. I've been watching the slow development of one of these murals on a walking path near me. Maybe I should start taking my own photos to see if I can get a timelapse.
