Because it's typically cached for 5min (1hr is a setting you have to explicitly opt into), and very few people run loops at a cadence of < 5 mins.

Good news is you finally qualify for Enterprise Support and you've never been closer to a Series B.

This comparison overlooks the fact that, in the original folktale, the stone soup remains a soup —- it never turns into a ribeye steak. Similarly, in the AI version, an LLM will always remain an LLM.

Even in the DOS days, you still had to park the drive heads before shutting down. DOS even had a PARK command for that.

Not all H1B holders have advanced degrees, and the reason some of them do is because that’s one of the immigration pathways —- pay for a 1-2-year Master’s degree so you get a better chance of landing an H1B after you graduate. Most citizens

So if you look at the flip side, the on call engineer is being misled by AI ~60% of the time. The question is does this slow them down more or less than the speedup they get when the AI is right the other 40% of the time.

Probably for collecting donations and moving them through the SWIFT banking system.

A lot of medicines are taken sublingually, because absorption is expected to be higher than through the oral route. Does fluoride not get absorbed that way?

In many companies you have to already be performing at the next level to get promoted. Maybe that wasn't the case in her company.

If you ask your employer to work from Lisbon as opposed to SF, you'll likely get a 3x-5x reduction in total compensation. I doubt Cloudflare (or any other) CEO's compensation will get the same readjustment for cost of living if he

Maybe they just wanted to avoid having an actual layoff in Sep, hoping that some percentage of people will leave.

Autodesk is not a software company but a marketing company. They just buy smaller competitors and repackage their stuff. If you think of them that way, that can make the organizational structure clearer.

The quantity of artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose, etc.) in that many cokes, many of which were shown to be carcinogenic in experiments with rats, can’t be good for him…

Not legally, but presumably it’s harder to get caught if you have another citizenship in a country that doesn’t tax crypto.

You can travel between the countries you hold a passport of regardless of what emergency rules they impose. No country refused entry to its own citizens during the pandemic.

Doesn’t that assume that Twitter actually knows that Elon is behind them? They could simply be other investors who have already decided to sell to Elon.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. That’s why free speech policies shouldn’t be dictated by partisan concerns. You never know who will be in control of your social media platform in the future.

They seem to all walk in a straight line. Are they not able to make turns? It’s hard to tell if they’re even perceiving the VR environment or just doing their own thing on the sphere.

The majority of H-1B employees at FAANG come on L-1 visas first. There’s no direct comparison because they join the company in a different country and a different market. The bar is not the same as the number of open positions in one market

This is all good if you’re just given sprint tasks and expected to crank out code for them without much supervision. What happens when any 2 of the 5 jobs decide to schedule a recurring meeting at the same time?
