Elon Musk may be right about ending remote work
Well, right, but that's not quite the same thing. Video games also do "show within a show", sometimes taking the form of an actual show (Address Unknown in Max Payne, and that other one that's plainly mimicking Lynch's Invitation to Love from Twin Peaks), or an actual play, as in Midsummer Night's(? I think it has the one with Thisby and such, right?) or Hamlet, which I wanna say at least one Final Fantasy has featured (9?), among other games, or sometimes, matching the medium, taking the form of minigames (dice or card games, or arcade games, say, in games that aren't primarily about those things but just have them in the world—even sports games in non-sports games, like Blitzball from FFX)

The purest form of this specific thing is more like having an entire episode of MASH play on a TV in the background during an episode of Trapper, MD.

> Wikipedia article on Tom Cruise's genetic code

Tom Cruise's genetic code
Tom Cruise's genetic code is a form of DNA fingerprinting that uses a probe to identify Tom Cruise. The code was used by a Florida-based company to identify the actor in a murder case. The company, GenePrint, was sued by Cruise in 2005.

Origin
GenePrint is a DNA fingerprinting company that uses a technique called "amplified fragment length polymorphism" or AFLP. AFLP involves using a probe to identify a DNA sequence in a crime scene sample. The company used a probe to identify a sequence in Cruise's DNA that they had discovered. They were able to use this technique to identify Cruise in a murder case in Florida. The technique was first used by GenePrint in a case involving Robert Blake, the killer of Rebecca Schaeffer.

Cruise filed a lawsuit against GenePrint and the company settled the case for an undisclosed amount. The case was dismissed because of the settlement.
Question: Explain to me again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

Answer: The ancient Greeks were the first to use the bladder of the sheep to prevent earthquakes. They used the idea of water pressure to make the bladder exert a large force on the ground. The idea was that if they were able to increase the force of the water pressure, they could increase the force that the bladder would exert on the ground, and thus prevent earthquakes.

The idea was that the sheep would be sacrificed and the bladder would be filled with water. The filled bladder would then be placed over the fault line. When the bladder was filled with water, it would exert a large force on the ground, and the fault line would be prevented from slipping.
Students need a computer to write papers with, and notebooks to write notes with. iPad + Pencil just happens to be one lightweight device that combines the functionality of all the heavy stuff that they usually have to carry, but I don’t think that effective studying and note-taking techniques have fundamentally changed.

Question: How many spiders live in the human rectum?

I am a software developer by trade and I’m writing mostly backend stuff for 22 years. Here’s my take on Excel.

Recently I went through the process of creating a non-trivial spreadsheet with bunch of tables, custom formulas and such. Things like costs with cost groups, person-days, person-availability, social costs, package calculations, profit and loss projections…

I’m mind blown. Excel is a powerful technology. It’s amazing how it tracks cell references in formulas and calculations automatically when rows/columns are added or removed.

Real-time visual feedback is unprecedented. You have 20 interconnected formulas? Awesome, change one value and everything recalculates in front of you.

It took me 22 years to arrive at the conclusion that some tasks are just simpler with a spreadsheet. Especially when I want to present the outcome to non-dev people. You go into a meeting and someone asks you “what happens if they travel so and so often instead of what you have now”. Or “what if we add these two things into that cost group and won’t offer x and y, can you also hide that for a second just to compare”. This is so easy to amend in Excel.

Good luck opening your editor and changing the code live because you haven’t planned for a third travel option.

Google Sheets is okay. I'm missing tables since I started using them in Excel. Named tables with totals row is just so handy.

Our house was made in the 1950s using California redwood. Design aside, this product quality is impossible today; you simply cannot find old-growth redwood to construct sufficient housing. I'm not even sure it was justifiable to utilize those materials during that era either -- hence the mass exploitation of global resources that is precipitating ecological collapse today.

There's clearly a cost-benefit spectrum between artisanal craftsmanship & throwaway consumerism. Balance is probably the best approach. It's time for the pendulum to swing back toward fewer, better items with a longer product life.
I don't think it'll make you get better or worse grades.

I started using the iPad 1 in high school to take notes and its so much nicer to just have 1 "notepad" to take notes for all of your classes than 6 different notepads. And god forbid we talk about textbooks as well. Only carrying basically an iPad and w/e paperback I needed for english is so nice.

How soon will content makers make their content look like ads to force these algorithms to fail?
It seems as though you might not understand what "literally" means. "To hang oneself" is a figurative expression. It is actually the polar opposite of "literally." Your comment about me "counting on the NYTimes to editorialize" is equally bizarre and makes me think you might not understand what that means either. At any rate your ad-hominem attack is uncalled for. I expect better journalism from the NYTimes as it is newspaper of record in the US. I also clearly articulated my reasons for believing why this article did not constitute good journalism in my previous comments.
Several TV models already incorporate that feature. If your device is supported, your remote should have a button conforming to the IEC 60417-5009 standard to activate it.
It matters because inefficient business are bad for society.

The reason economic prosperity has raised so many out of poverty is because systems and businesses get more efficient over time.

Because when markets are competitive, cost to consumer declines to cost of production (with perfect competition)

That’s the philosophical answer. If Google had more direct competition market forces would push wages down on their own.

Make no mistake though, it’s not altruistic whatsoever to defend a system that functions inefficiently. It’s a value transfer from broader society to the above market wages of whichever company. Maybe that adheres to your priorities, maybe not, but broader society does best in aggregate when competition drives efficiencies
Very nice indeed to see a simple algorithm in an area recently dominated by complex beasts. Gives me those great 70s vibes. Seems like a major result. Would love to hear from an expert in the area.
Your one example is terrible, because the US would have prevented Sonia Ghandi from being President too for not being born in the country. Harris was born in the US.

Check out the first two parts of this book (look it up on LibGen and purchase it if you like it). The first two parts address the more practical aspects of design in general (even things freelance work I believe) and the rest is geared toward web design as the title suggests. But it’s something to thumb through to get you prepared quickly if you’re interested.

I imagine since you’re a new graduate and they’re interns that you’re all roughly around the same age. You haven’t divulged the details of your prior meetings but I can imagine that some pushback may be due to the fact that they are as aware as you are that you’re new to leading a team.

Truth is that you’ve probably led something before. Tap into that psychologically. I mean this just like the time you ran the back of the house when you worked at that Greek spot Junior year, right? Right.

It would probably help to have an informal meeting, addressing the fact that you’re new, they’re interns, you all likely have a limited amount of time to work together at this job at all. We’re young. This can either suck for us and discourage us as professionals, or we can work together and have fun while we do it and reminisce over this when we’re 35 and working on legacy node monoliths.

The bigger it is, the more difficult it is to move off your tenant platform.

And as time passes, you are more likely to want something which your tenant platform does not offer.

Maybe it is a different style of displaying images. Maybe it is a different way of defending against bots and spam. Maybe it is easier reporting of spam by users.

Whatever it is, a platform with a user:operator ratio of over a million will probably not have the resources to accommodate you.

Floods are pretty regular, but in places like the Hauraki Plains and Canterbury, mostly regional farming areas. Main people affected are farmers, livestock and farming infrastructure.
Didn’t work in recent times anyway.
This is a thing that feels true.

I started at a company that didn't have software as a focus. Went to a consultancy and did work for quite a few companies. Eventually got hired by a division of a billionaire's conglomerate. And I get to interact with members of my profession in similar sorts of situations.

And personally, I've yet to get to the internals of a company and not find some amount of spit, glue, and rubber bands holding together critical infrastructure.

Like always, there's something somewhere that will make me go, "They do what?" and raise my eyebrows.

And while I personally have not witnessed it, I do have friends who have worked for FAANG level companies and there is some amount of cowboy-ness there too.

We're all just kinda winging it.
Yep, me too!

As an X-gen child of the 70s/80s I was at various points terrified of nuclear bombs!

Watching Threads when I was way to young didn't help...

There are times when I'd lay terrified in bed when I heard a jet engine over my house, and thought it might be a nuclear bomb!

An article I read a while back suggested that X-Gen kids have a form of PTSD from the Cold War!
Is the FTX crash Gensler's fault – or did it prove he's right?
sorry, property managers are NOT the landlords. In the United States, a big portion of rentals are managed by a third party property manager who is hired by the landlord to manage on their behalf. I'm specifically talking about them who are mishandling/using tenant security deposits that they are holding. we call them "management held security deposits"
Sorry, it genuinely looked machine generated to me. After posting I went to look at your profile and realised you are a real person, but you'd already replied by the time I tried to delete my comment.

OK then:

one shared namespace is problematic for reasons."

Is just saying "I'm right you're wrong and I refuse to explain why".

> "You can figure email though, right?"

Are you saying that being able to understand email means one should find the benefit to separate namespaces in social
media? Or that email is everyone's definition of perfect and so everything should be like it? Or something else, considering it took me a bit of guessing to even think of those first two explanations?

> DNS is a solved problem

First, are you suggesting DNS is 100% perfect at what it does and nobody could ever have any complaint about it? Second, it's not clear to me how it being a solved problem for what it currently does means it's necessarily the right approach for any new uses? I need to get a tire on my car replaced tomorrow, and I really hope they don't tell me "you don't need a new tire, you need DNS - haven't you heard, it's a solved problem".

I'm genuinely not trying to be sarcastic I just don't understand any argument you're trying to make.

> Lots and lot of useful technological innovations requires advertising before people were convinced to use them.

Fortunately, we have had a parallel universe, called the Soviet Union, where advertising was more limited (but still present, of course), and as anyone who lived there will tell you, nobody there needed to be convinced by advertising that they wanted a car, or a fridge, or a color television.
Question: You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

Answer: The tortoise is a reptile, and reptiles have a hard shell on their backs. They can’t turn over on their backs without help.
Penicillin did, but I think a lot of the newer ones were derived from bacteria. But doing a quick web search right now I'm mostly getting potential new antibiotics that came from bacteria, rather than proven antibiotics, so now I'm wondering about the actual bacterial contribution...

While I don't really endorse it, I understand the objection to a name with the word "Intelligence" as part of it.

I don't understand the objection to the word "Artificial".

Why do you say that there's nothing "Artificial" about these programs. Now, they may be contexts in which you could call a program "natural" in the sense of, "the natural way to do something", but, at the same time, are not all computer programs, in a different sense, artificial?
This analogy in part breaks down because in the digital space, such "bans" don't require any substance.

If in the physical space you'd ban somebody from ever joining your meeting or neighborhood again, you need to have some type of probable cause. Something really bad must have happened.

Meanwhile in the digital space: banned for life because your comment was too long. Don't believe me? Watch:

Go watch the Urbanity video again. It wasn't 1 single intersection, it was a collection of intersections around Ottawa, with video evidence and everything. How is that "not a source"? Here's an other article that was like 5th google result of "how many people stop at stop signs". https://wtop.com/news/2013/08/wtops-stop-sign-experiment-how...

Also, I'm calling you out as disingenuous. Everyone who has been through North America knows that practically everybody all the time rolls through stop signs. Do I need to provide a source that water is wet and the sky is blue?
Here's a thought I had. There may be a level of data and training at which large language model tend to resort more, not less, often to plausible bullshit. Someone was gushing about how smart gpt-4 looked in this post, for example.

The more areas of study you have, the more complicated the relationship or non-relationship is. But the difficulty of and knowledge needed for bullshitting on them doesn't increase as much.

One of the most helpful things for me was having a group of classmates who I joined a Google Doc with. It was the class I did best in that semester and it was a hard science class. It wasn't something that would work for every class, but it's something that wouldn't be possible without technology.

High schools and middle schools have started giving out a laptop to every student in my district. The teachers use google classroom. I don't know if a $1500 device will be better than a $800 device for grades, but even a $600 used device will be much better than going pen and paper only. There is group pressure to get an apple product, but that also depends on the major. In bio or psychology classes there was some elitism when I was the only one who pulled out a thinkpad, some classmates associated thick to business to slow and old. After I switched to CS the topic didn't come up again.

Every single one of my classes in college provided power points, even math and cs. I didn't need to worry about copying down the PPT while the teacher was lecturing. I took one class with a teacher who refused to provide a copy early and I meaningfully struggled more to learn the material. I switched sections/teachers in order to make sure that never happened to me again.

Depending on the comfort student, 2 in 1s have gotten good enough to where they could replace paper and pencil completely. The only time they would need to write on paper is for exams. I personally think iPads are a bad investment regardless of the student and their major. The software just isn't there, regardless of the model.
If I make a bet on the Cowboys winning a game, am I invested in the Cowboys, or merely dependent on them?

I make backups from laptop to external hard drives manually via rsync twice per week or so. I don’t store personal/sensitive data on the cloud.

It might have something to do with the fact that real estate is ripe with fraud and undeclared income too.
Great comment by LeifCarrotson pretty much explains it. I gutted and skinned it, removing each quarter, and the meat along the back, ribs, and neck. That took basically all day. I use a knife with a replaceable blade. The guts are held in by connective tissue near the spine. If the belly faces downhill when you open it, gravity starts to pull them out. I removed the lungs to get room to work (just indiscriminately slicing), and then reached up in the neck as high as possible, and cut the trachea and esophagus. Then I used a hatchet to cut through the pelvic bone, a sharp knife to basically excise the anus, and cut any remaining connective tissue from behind. Eventually, gravity did the rest.

The big goal is to not puncture intestines, as they are gross and contain bacteria that will spoil the meat.

To skin it, I started at a back leg, just making a cut, pulling the skin up, and seeing it's connected to muscle by very soft fat. You can pull on the skin, slice the fat, and the animal basically unwraps. You want to keep hair off the meat because again, bacteria.

Front quarters are easy as there's no bone joint. They pop off quckly. Rear are harder, you need to find and cut the ligament(?) that holds the leg in the hip.

Then, I put about half the elk on a children's sled, and pulled it (mercifully downhill or level) about 1.5 miles. Then, I went and got the other half. She was a cow, so no antlers to carry.

Then, I hung all the meat in a frienda garage for about 2 days, took it home in several coolers, and fought off my dog while every evening for 4 evenings, I separated the muscle groups, and/or chunked meat to grind (lower quality meat gets turned into hamburger or sausage), vacuum sealed eveything, and froze it.

I'm originally from Rhode Island, and this is only my third animal (first was a deer, then an antelope) so it was pretty overwhelming.
I mean just the standard x86/ubuntu 22.04 would be nice. It'd reduce a lot of friction to people try to evaluate your product!
