Surprised not to see any mention of the global memory supply shock. Would love to learn more about how that economic is shifting software priorities toward memory allocation for the first time in my (relatively young) career

I have felt somewhat frustrated with what I perceive as a broad tendency to malign "prompt engineering" as an antiquated approach for whatever new the industry technique is with regards to building a request body for a model API.

Are you using them regularly in physical labor though?

I think the point is more around the collective distraction of dressing to a formal (and for kids, unfamiliar) standard, rather than enjoying time with the people around you at a party.

I’m skeptical that established automakers even felt threatened. For one thing, manufacturers seemed to overestimate present demand for high-end, expensive EVs (no way Apple was going to build a lower-tier “economy” car). Also, companies jus

Could someone explain exactly what it means to be "completely sequence" the human genome when all humans have distinct genetic makeup (ie, different sequences of nucleobases in their DNA/RNA)?

This sort of approach is only really viable in certain climates and with certain starting conditions, ideally away from extremes in temperature and drought where seedlings can compete with what's already established. I live in the (cli

Not sure I agree, on one hand you have actual, physical potential energy, on the other hand you have numbers on a computer that could become worthless depending on unpredictable economic factors.

The punctuation of the sentence is a little odd, but I take it to mean $1732 + $1200 = $2932. Less $1100 of current rent, that’s $1832 per month to cover all other costs for two people. Few would elect to be traveling 6 days a week obtainin

I don't understand this argument. If 8k employees were laying technical groundwork that can be transformed into product features more efficiently than greenfield work, how were they "doing nothing"? Twitter is a mature produc

Especially sad given that, in my opinion, this project is doomed to fail anyway— a 21st century Tower of Babel. The plans for a year-round ski resort seem especially ridiculous given the relatively mild climate in the Sarawat mountains.

I disagree, I don't think they fear that. I'm not sure why Zuckerberg was ever really floated as a potential candidate. He's not particularly charismatic and fails the "beer test" with basically everybody in America

The editor of the NYT editorial page recently explicitly stated the goal of defending capitalism: https://fair.org/home/top-nyt-editor-we-are-pro-capitalism-t... If you read the NYT it is at the very least staunchly mo

It's oversimplifying to imply that a vote against the terms of one peace deal is just fueled by hatred and machismo.

I'm curious about their long-term outlook. My understanding is that OPEC counties are currently desperate enough for money that they can't agree to limit output, thereby forcing the price further down. Anyone have better insight h

I may be missing some nuance here, but wouldn't increasing sales tax (as the Silicon Valley Leadership Group is advocating) further disproportionately punish lower-income residents? The article doesn't make clear whether moving to
