Is there some way of knowing a truck is set up to "roll coal"? If not, then this could just be the OP thinking poorly of someone just trying to drive carefully around a family. It would be jumping to a very pessimistic conclusion

I've lived in the most libertarian state in the country for the majority of my life. I've never noticed any illegal dumping, and I've never heard any libertarians call anyone an anarchist (maybe once?). If anything, it's

One of my earliest exposures to the power of bitwise operators happened when I was learning to write chess engines. This was right around the time 64 bit processors were hitting the markets, which allowed storing one bit of information per

Thanks! I appreciate it.

You have twice removed the substance of an argument and responded to an irrelevant nitpick. Here's what the OP said: > He literally used the same prompt as the article. > Claim: "ChatGPT's Chess Elo is 1400" > R

This argument is pretty flimsy. ChatGPT makes illegal moves frequently. In all my years of playing competitive chess (from 1000 to 2200), I have never seen an illegal move. I'm sure it has happened to someone, but it's extremely r

I think his point is that 1400 level players don't make illegal moves, therefore ChatGPT is not playing at the level of a 1400 level player.

Same exact thing happened to a friend of mine who was just about to launch. He didn't realize that he had only paid for the dynos, but was using a free tier DB. No communication at all, and they wiped out his data. Needless to say, he

Doesn't that assume 100% of a human's daily calories burn is due to brain activity?

Do you have any source for this? I've been playing Counter-Strike since the original beta, and it's been popular since its creation, far before skins existed. As far as the funding goes, I have no idea, but would love to see some

I'm a B2C SAAS founder and paid 7.1% to Stripe last month.

As a single sample: my SAAS startup pays just over 7% to Stripe.

Is this really the case? While CRDT's are designed to work peer-to-peer, they don't need to be fully connected to all clients. Forcing the synchronization through controlled nodes (a server or cluster) allows adding read/writ

You can do this type of analysis for most software, since building on existing solutions allows us to write powerful tools with less code. Listing out the existing solutions that allow developers to write less code doesn't necessarily

What are your thoughts on the Javascript YJS CRDT implementation? I'm admittedly pretty new to the space, so I don't know much about performance comparisons. Haven't noticed any significant performance problems with it (using

Your argument seems to be that there are other solutions that aren't blockchain, which I can't deny. That's true of any solution to most problems, and it neither invalidates the original proposed solution nor lessens its usef

My naive understanding of why it's so difficult to stop coronaviruses in general from spreading is due to the virus moving between humans and animals. If that's true, and if that causes virus mutation, then is it possible to stop

I love how the second to last code sample has three closing </string> tags, and the blog name is "don't code tired." (Also, really looking forward to using the new type inference.)

For sure. I'm interested in the truth, not in winning an argument. Recent times have resulted in a bombardment of information from an overwhelming number of sources, so I find my standards slipping here and there due to not having the

That definition doesn't make sense. If someone doesn't like steak, it doesn't make them anti-meat, and if someone doesn't like mint flavor ice cream, it doesn't make them anti-ice cream. That's the entire probl

Some of them did just that. (I've said this a few times -- not sure if it's considered spam to keep posting the same thing on different threads. Sorry if that's the case!)

I know quite a few people who got J&J due to their hesitancy about Pfizer and Moderna. It's anecdotal, I know, but so are all of my personal experiences :) .

I wasn't aware of that, as I've only ever heard it mentioned in conversation. I'll look into it and bring it up the next time it inevitably comes up in conversation. I'm so exhausted talking about this stuff all the time

This is not true. These people span the entire political spectrum, so it's not just those who watch Fox News. Not only that, I know a few of them who are vehemently pro-vaccine, so much that they won't even let their kids play wit

Absolutely. A lot of my friends who were hesitant about Pfizer and Moderna did just that.

It's a shame that the mainstream has adopted the term "anti-vaxxers" to describe people who don't want to get a COVID vaccine. Many of my friends and colleagues have concerns about mRNA vaccines, but they have no issue w

It will be interesting to see if those cases result in many deaths. Typically when viruses mutate they become less deadly, so there's a chance these new cases won't have nearly as negative an outcome as the previous waves. The dat

Yes. It's still true. Arguing otherwise requires applying that same logic universally. Any life decision that could result in worse health outcomes "takes a hospital bed away from someone else." Once you go down that road, yo
