You say this jokingly but it's completely true. I made a kerbal space program clone with local models and the autopilot code was more or less identical to what would work on a real machine. And it took an afternoon. Cat's out of t

Netflix disruption might be an apt metaphor, since it did severely damage the industry and reduce the quality of its output. Those Hollywood execs were right, even if they were ultimately doomed. It's another step in the Sheinification

This doesn't apply to small residential contractors. I've had nothing but bad experiences hiring contractors. They rarely do the work themselves and instead hire subcontractors who don't understand the requirements and care v

I have firsthand experience with this, and yes, that was my last thought. I was young and foolish, and alone in the wilderness during the winter. I drank some bad water and became very sick during a blizzard, and while searching for shelter

How do you control for quality variation between patients? In my experience, AI note taking tools display a clear bias against participants who are {quieter, ESL, women, ...}. How can you evaluate whether these biases show up in a medical s

If you're a hobbyist runner, this equation very quickly gets flipped on its head. It's very difficult to make up the calorie deficit from a 20 mile long run every week . Throw two big races a year into the mix, and maintaining we

>All previous programming abstractions kept correctness That's not strictly speaking true, since most (all?) high level languages have undefined behaviors, and their behavior varies between compilers/architectures in unexpected

I never understood why it's so complicated. On Linux, you can make a liveusb as easily as `cat liveusb.iso > /dev/sdX`. I imagine there is a powershell equivalent. There is a risk of writing to the wrong drive, so some kin

This is unfortunately very common for OHRMs. Once your heartbeat approaches your running cadence (~180 bpm), physical movement becomes confused with the color change of your blood that an OHRM relies on. Tightening your wrist strap can help

4 people splitting rent on a house will get you very nice accommodations for 600-700 in most of the US, even some coastal cities.

I routinely see hardware failures in a fleet about an order of magnitude larger than the article. It's often enough that we have to plan for and recognize it, but not often enough that we have fully automated handling every edge case.

>Honest question here, is pair programming still a thing? It's still by far the most effective tool for certain tasks. Inherit an extremely complex codebase with 50 levels of abstraction? You could spend a week tinkering with it, or

I had the same experience at around 10,000 ft in the cascades. Once you're above the thickest part of the atmosphere, a whole new dimension opens up in the sky. Everywhere you look, in the space between the stars, there are more stars,

This is a problem for anyone who is not actively vigilant about the information they consume. A family member (who I would not describe as "terminally online") came to me today in a panic talking about how some major event had jus

Really excited about the sway spin. I've been using sway since early in the project's history, and love to see it become more stable and widely adopted.

In a way, yes. The specific meaning of words here is important. Sex likely refers to primary sex characteristics and gender may refer to secondary sex characteristics. For example, breast cancer is not a high risk for men, but it is for
