Horrifying sure, but I am curious what is the motivation here. We use more lambdas and for more things than are generally considered kosher... one more couldn't hurt.

I thought diet intervention is the primary treatment prior to dialysis. With the goal of prolonging the time until mechanical intervention or replacement becomes necessary. But I've never heard of diet alone taking someone off dialysis

Only for the first few people who do it and it will come at a great cost to everyone else. Classic collective action problem at work and down right dangerous thinking. If even a fraction of the population acts on this idea the rate of trans

The communication delay is one of the key plot elements in The Three Body Problem books.

Someone here wrote a POC. They happened to be fairly high up, not C-level but well respected. Basically, I can save x% cost using this. You can bootstrap that if you're not high enough to sit at the table, just need to convince someone

This is oddly similar to what we're doing. Except my team is heading towards sagemaker against my wishes.

Does the use of neonicotinoids not also affect the native pollinators? I was under the impression that the issue is not solely honey bees but all insects. (Honey bees being a useful public face on the problem)

Yes, but isn't it predicted that the average life expectancy of the current generation will be less than that of the prior generations?

Double down on this. I want to work in Aerospace, but not for the military industrial complex. Who do I work for?

I've run into this problem. But I believe the parent was referring to the situation where new lambdas spin up and aren't immediately ready to respond to invocations. The delay can be significant in some cases though almost immeasu

There is an absolutely solid book on the subject of how NASA comes to make decisions. The Space Shuttle Decision[1]. I say solid and not good because it's easily the most boring book I've read this year being composed entirely of

I picked up this book based on this quote from Aaron and absolutely struggled through it. Taking over a year to read completely. And then in the end, he was correct. I did wish there was more.

Could I trouble you to give me an example of the second one? Something rust provides that might be better to learn the hard way?

I came across this when I attempted to run wow in linux after upgrading my gpu and ram. This was this month, and last time I logged in was in Legion. Exactly as you describe but you can fix it with Vulkan.

This sounds like an amazing pain in the ass. I wonder if this impacts my own lambdas.

Whoever this woman was, she was an engineer working at a cutting edge computer company in the 1970s. She likely suffered ridiculous prejudices to get to the point where she was. I'm inclined to believe that she did know (at least some)

Gonna try using rust this year as well. I have no background in rust at all so I'm a bit excited for the extra experience of trying a new language.

I wasn't sure about this so I did a quick google. There may have been an estimated 20-30 million bison at one point across North America. And currently something close to 80-90 million cattle today in the US alone. To answer why this i

Isn't it the case that we just need to wipe out mosquitoes in an area long enough for malaria to die off? Didn't that happen in the US with DDT, the mosquitoes came back but the malaria stayed away. Or am I mistaken? Though frankl

This doesn't hold in all cases. One of my all time favorite books is Catch-22. That was an absolute slog to complete when I first read it in university and I considered abandoning it several times. However the ending surprised me and I
