I’m typing this just down the road from this Kirkland roundabout. It is fine. I’m used to roundabouts from my old country tho. I do fear someone else will just hit me down there cause I don’t trust people around here on roundabouts. A breat

I’ve seen a setup like this in software for some specific high-demand SAP (ERP) consultancy roles. The nature of SAP migrations are per-project in nature (you wouldn’t want to migrate your company’s ERP all the time). The person had such a

Wow, thank you for the explanation. Such a complex topic and yet you’ve made it simple to understand.

Is it correct to rephrase PolarQuant as “embeddings vectors but as complex numbers” since polar vectors were represented with i complex numbers in other fields of applications? Would this open a new field of transformations using complex nu

I work at a enterprise tech company that has kinda of a monopoly on its market. The hate I get when I mention I work there is so big… I can only imagine what a MS Teams dev would get these days. The worst is when they complain about the UI…

Yep, bugs are already just another cost of doing business for companies that aren’t user-focused. We can expect buggier code from now on. Especially for software where the users aren’t the ones buying it. Disclaimer because I sound pessimis

This was 2008 when they were fighting for titles still (turns out they were robbed and the FIA knew about it and let it play out). That said I imagine what Jonathan Wheatley would be able to achieve in a task similar to this since he had th

I like this. I have crafted a Claude Code docker container to similar effects. My problem is that my env has intranet access all the time (and direct access to our staging environment) and I don’t want a coding agent that could go rogue hav

So they automated most of the production in order to compete with cheap labor. It didn’t bring the manufacturing jobs as we think of them back: it did something better.

I’m not not a lawyer at all and I have no real idea. My guess is that existing visas are already printed and henceforth there is no petition anymore, you have a status or visa already. Since the old petition didn’t require the payment, you

Yes, but a visa stamp renewal is a visa “application” while the document that allows the application is the “petition”, which is the word used on this text and the step requiring the payment.

IIRC the author compares brain scans and recognition abilities of children of hunter gatherers that where sent to school vs same age relatives that were not. I’m bringing this up from memory now and I’m not so sure of this, but this claim s

Literally one of the main points of the book: the church’s mandate and enforcement of monogamy in Europe lowered violence so much that a different kind of society emerged.

Do you have some recommendations? I remember seeing Show HN tools gathering book recommendations from here, but I like specific experiences

The author uses mostly hunter-gatherers tribes/societies in different continents as the control groups, usually. Most of his work is in anthropology.

I do not have the time now to craft you a full answer as I don’t have the book on hand and have only been commenting from memory so far. But to give you a quick answer: I don’t think all of it is shallow, especially given the format: the bo

Yes, your point and other points around the web I’ve seen make his argument about north and south Italy very controversial to say the least. He does have data to back it up, where he presents distance to nearest church as a predictor for ho

I meant it as “is responsible for” or “explains”. The author doesn’t seem to make any judgement in over the other, but he presents polygamy in a society as a causation for male violence. Sorry for that, English isn’t my first language

I don’t have the data but I assume the corpus available to train an LLM is majorly in English, written by Americans and western counterparts. If we’re training the LLMs to sound similar to the training data, I imagine the responses have to

Can’t recommend the book that coined this acronym enough: The WEIRDest People in the World Book by Joseph Henrich. It is such an eye-opening piece that explains so much of the world around us. He’s an anthropologist that goes into the psych

For all the documentation you see surrounding SAPUI5, it is very incomplete when you have to actually use it do develop something. It is built on top of jQuery and extremely slow. They are very adamant on MVC with two-way databinding (the o
