> You could put your hand around this tree To be fair, that's entirely reasonable to cut down with a machete. There's a bit of a technique to it and it'll take more than one swing but if you don't have a chainsaw hand

If you want to go off trying to predict the cycle I’d suspect ag/weather tech. Political complexity aside it appears to be the biggest thing we’ll need to work on in the coming decades if we want to sustain the planet’s carrying capaci

I'd like to hear more, do you have an article or something you could link?

Because if you're going to carry, you should choose something that's safe to carry with a round chambered (i.e. not a Sig P320). There are countless videos showing real-world examples of defensive handgun use. One common thread is

From your careful word choice you know this but I'd like to draw attention to the specifics here. I'm not sure if it's actually soldered on but RAM is on-package like apple's M-series chips, unlike what used to be the ca

The point is to illustrate the disconnect between stated reasoning and proximate cause. Consider your typical country music enjoyer. Their fondness of the art, as it were, is far more a function of cultural coding during their formative yea

Devil's advocate, as with most LLM issues this applies to the meatbags that generated the source material as well. Quick example is asking someone to describe their favorite music and why they like it, and note the probable lack of rea

As one of the many Americans who wants to contribute to a society whose values match their own, thank you. Is there somewhere to follow your efforts in that front?

Thank you for the link. How is Germany looking RE economic stability for the next couple of years? I was looking into Sweden but even the Swedish citizens I know there are having a difficult time finding / keeping engineering jobs as t

What’s your take on near-term stability for American immigrants in Europe? I was looking at options for moving last year but the work visa situation seemed fairly precarious (although that’s a relative thing in comparison with what may end

Yes but that would increase the BoM by several cents on these $1k+ GPUs so it's not likely to happen.

How is this different from “it’s not poor impulse control if you’re a _functional_ alcoholic who can muster enough resources to afford a handle every morning”?

Absolutely not. Try asking for it to solve something not well covered in the training data (e.g. a relatively performant polyhedral homotopy continuation solver) and it completely falls apart regardless of how much hand holding you give it.

It certainly makes sense at first glance. Have you read the houthis flag?

This article from Teflon.com is not clickbait, they’re just massively underselling the risk of fluorocarbons to birds. Burning a teflon pan will straight up kill any birds in your home. It’s not a minor irritant like onions, you can’t just

This really undersells the risk here. If you have birds and don’t want to watch them die in agony just put the PTFE stuff in the bin.

Personal experience corroborates. The last embers of self fade away in a place far too narrow to fit anything but that overwhelming peace. It's a difficult subject though, the fear of death underpins a significant portion of life (see

Ahh, the ever-elusive ``free will.'' Do you happen to have a rigorous definition of it you'd like to bring up for discussion?

It's different in sectors which aren't going to go through some things, places which are expanding rather than freaking out about dropping ad revenue and the end of zero interest rates. OpenAI / Microsoft, various energy sect
