The article mentioned they pinned the provider and model and the result was bad as well with their own shenanigans. That part was in the end of the article so maybe you missed it.

The Spanish case shows how tricky it is to sell your gold. Suddenly other countries found out that Spain had money from liquidating its gold and milked it dry. Given Spain’s history it is incredible that the gold collected over centuries wa

Not sure from the page but I rode one coal powered steam train in Poland for “fun” and i wish i never did. It was an open carriage trip in koszalin and the pollution it did was such that coal particles rained on everyone. It was awful and I

It is amazing the failure rate and how people working in these endeavours keep on working and do not step in to intervene deeper. The statistics are what matters even if whole days are wasted because some leopard or lion ate the work done.

P2P inference sounds really nice and it would bring us back to the 2000s culture if not for the fact inference is already so cheap. Even so it is an insurance policy if the cloud providers or governments have ideas of further censoring and

On the movie Dolemite by Eddy Murphy, they go over the fact that black people absorb light and white people reflect, and how that changes the motion picture shooting process totally. Also how one size does not fit all. Cool project! I am no

Actually history shows that despotism or power in one single figure is a concept that waned with the increasing complexity of the world. One single despot could govern easily over matters of a small tribe or kingdom, but as states became mo

Yeah, this goes back to the blind spot we technical people have: Solve people/social issues with technological enforcement.

The whole Petraeus affair[1] is a wiki 'telenovela'. The only things missing are references to Corintian leather. I will share gossip tomorrow, even if old news. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petraeus_scan

Running requires resting for me, and I often do not have time to rest longer with the kids. Meals still need to be prepared, and kids need to be minded. Kids have a strict time to go to kinder garten so I still need to get up at 7.00 or 7.3

For me personally, I never was so sick in my life as when my children were between starting nursery school and 3. It was not just respiratory diseases: It was also the time in my life I and my wife had frequent digestive infections. Ohh my.

That part hurt a bit, but i think it highlights the point of the author: do you want something extremely distasteful(even in words) but real or you would rather go for forced harmony? I would say that word is so offensive that it forced me

Why bother with such details? Class warfare is right, and details are details. /sarcasm For example mixed income housing is really nice for “us” that have been in generational poverty. For “them” it is just living with signals of alco

Matt Levine wrote that flouting the rules could be fine if there were market alternatives (he said otherwise it would be a market failure). I am pretty sure there would be market alternatives appearing, at least in the ETF tracking space, a

As some commenters pointed out, this is basically slowly adding a real RGB led panel behind the LCD, or an OLED with extra steps. I could not see prices but I would expect this to be significantly cheaper, or maybe the refresh rate is much

If AI or any of the means of production are too concentrated, societies around the globe have found a solution: tax or nationalise. Even taxing might be enough to tilt the scale in favour of labor. If whole countries have their socio-econom

I had the exact experience yesterday. I have a performance problem and went down the path of optimising part of a pipeline that when benchmarked was not the bottleneck, even if it looked plausible for me and the llm. When I asked it to make

People explore what tickles them. Others try to rationalise what they like, even when the reason is flimsy. It’s ok :) It really releases the stress slightly to call bugs, buggas and generally role play a humorous setting than a purely tech

The US does not set out to capture civilians, while the hamas does. It matters. All the rest of the comment makes no sense in light of that. Also you omitted the part where I said I disagreed with what Israel did. But as a human I believe w

Which is ironic because PR is definitely alien to git. There is no such git concept as a PR, nor git pr command. Coming from a pure git workflow in mailing lists where branches, and commits(and associated diff and git am metadata) are the u

This is true for Kalshi but not for Polymarket. Also Kalshi voided the bet and it got sued. By the way prediction markets are commodity securities where Matt Levine mentioned it should not allow death contracts. Here we are though..

Yes! The losses were due to independence loss to Spain. In a sense the loss of sovereignty to Spain destroyed the Portuguese empire. Spain joined the Portuguese and Spanish armada and went on to fight the English (and Dutch to some extent),

As someone who had a company in Portugal I do not understand what you meant about requiring an employee to have limited liability company. You may be referring to the need for one of the owners needing to pay social security but it only nee
