The pendulum synchronization effect is the opposite of your claim. It has a physical causal reason for why pendulums become synchronized. Your claim is that it was random and independent.

I interviewed for an internship in 2006 and didn't get any brainteasers, but I got some pretty interesting questions that were somewhat computer science-related: 1. Suppose you have a binary tree (NOT a binary search tree) where each n

I think all of Luna's are bad. The only decent one is sol @ xhigh. Even sol @ max is weird. Sol @ high and @ medium are ok, and every other single one across every model is bad.

sasha-id submitted the original bug report, and then bcherny confirmed that it was a bug and that it's been fixed. Given that, it's almost guaranteed that sasha-id is a legitimate actor. If you're confused about sasha-id&#x27

From this reply, it seems that it has nothing to do with `/effort`: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/42796#issue... I hope you take this seriously. I'm considering moving my company

I assume they meant that "Claude Code is so good..." and that they cancelled Currsor and just use CC + VSCode.

That's all factually incorrect. The reason that HFT is valuable to society is exactly because it trades at the microsecond scale. That's how it provides the most liquidity. Flash crash was transient and had no impact long term val

HFT doesn't inflate or deflate any valuations. They operate at the market microstructure level and provide liquidity. HFT firms have no impact on the long-term value of assets.

Thanks for the AMA Peter! What impacts are you seeing as a result of the $100K H-1B fee which took effect on 9/21/25?

This is different. AI is an existential threat to Google. I've almost stopped using Google entirely since ChatGPT came out. Why search for a list of webpages which might have the answer to your question and then manually read them one

This kind of cynicism is wild to me. Of course most AI products (and products in general) are for end users. Especially for a company like Google--they need to do everything they can to win the AI wars, and that means winning adoption for t

No more than someone spending a few thousand on a tiny designer bag that can fit almost nothing inside.

Ah yes. That’s the one thing I need to teach everyone when they’re new to Django. I was wondering if there were other quirks to the ORM beyond avoiding N+1 queries.

What're some DB query performance issues you've run across in the past and how did you resolve them?

The dark forest is such an obviously false theory to me. Its axioms are: 1. Survival is the primary goal of all civilizations. Agree. 2. Resources in the universe are finite. True in the theoretical sense, but false in the practical sense.

Can you explain more? I don’t understand the distinction in this case between data and configuration in the context of IP addresses.

I presume so. Here's a great example of it with bacteria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDa4-nSc7J8

How quickly would the local population of mosquitos adapt to the MosquitoDunks, such that within a few generations, the only surviving ones would be the ones that are unaffected by the dunks? Or is that not a real concern?

It's very common for tech companies to go public without being profitable. As long as their growth is good and they have a reasonable story for how they will achieve profitability, then it typically makes sense. Of course every company

I've noticed that since I've started using ChatGPT, I've almost entirely stopped using Google (except for the rare case where I need a specific website but don't remember the URL). In addition to a bunch of technical que

Clocks run at "normal" speed (i.e. "1x" speed) in the absence of a gravitational field. The stronger the gravity, the slower they run (i.e. less than "1x" speed).

Wait, the US overall is ranked 18th out of approximately 50 countries (on the first chart for Math + Science). Obviously some American demographics are doing better, but across all demographics, the US scores are not excellent and not near

As long as America has a first-past-the-post voting system, then game theory dictates that it will always be a two-party system.
