But if you’re given a double or nothing bet option on each draw, you know there’s a range of strategies that vary from maximum winnings, to most likely winnings. You want a good story you go for max. You need a few thousand to head off a problem with your car, you bet a different way.
Depending on your background and circumstances, there are ways to opt out of the race to a greater/lesser degree. Moving to a cheaper city in your country, or a cheaper country altogether, is one of them. Finding a less stressful way of making less money is another.

Okay? Google is a private company. Would you prefer if Fox News was forced to broadcast liberal points of view? Or maybe the Catholic Church should be forced to give sermon time to people who worship Satan? Why should Google be forced into supporting a political ideology they don’t support?

You can easily check Windows version by looking at the properties of setup.exe. The command prompt you can invoke during installation also shows it. And I bet it shows up during setup as well.
modern RVs still widely use propane powered absorption refrigeration, although that is starting to move over to solar and battery arrays.

The fans are a tiny part of the energy used by a heat pump, most of the energy is for running the compressor. Electric heat pumps are more efficient and economical than electric heat, but still generally more expensive than gas heat, and impractical compared to gas if that electricity itself is made from gas in the first place.

If you power a heat pump with gas directly, you are effectively getting over 100% efficiency: you keep all of the heat generated from the gas, plus are 'pumping' heat from outside. It's going to be even more economical than regular gas heat, which is already more economical than anything else.

Kagi sends “anonymized API calls to traditional search indexes like Google, Yandex, Mojeek and Brave, specialized search engines like Marginalia, and sources of vertical information like Wolfram Alpha, Apple, Wikipedia, Open Meteo, Yelp, TripAdvisor and other APIs,” and also maintains its own “web index (internal name - Teclis) and news index (internal name - TinyGem)” [1].

Think of "poor society" not in terms of quality of life of its residents, but in terms of how much economic surplus it has to spend on war-related things. If society A and society B have equal number of people living in poverty, but society B has much larger armies, it is richer (in purely economic terms) as a whole, and that's what matters here.

It goes beyond the sheer number of soldiers, too - if you have more economic surplus, you can spend it on e.g. things like mining to obtain better materials to make weapons from, on science to construct more advanced weapons etc.

I mean the baseline value is already there in removing writers block and helping you get started with writing, listing obvious things from whatever topic you ask about, and basic and boilerplate code.

What's missing is any novel insight and real high quality writing. I guess what I'm trying to say is if LLM development totally stopped tomorrow I would still use it for generating a bunch of ideas and volume of writing to then pick from.

It's like being an editor vs being an author, and tweaking text output is easier than starting from scratch.
The case studies we reviewed in classes had causative mechanisms behind them, such as changes in strategy, design, or marketing suggested or implemented by the minority group. It's a lot more involved than "added x number of minorities and revenue went up x%". Many of the diversity studies are junky though if they aren't as granular as a case study due to how the data is reported and the lack of context.

Liquor is indeed ultra-processed and is the most harmful substance humans routinely ingest leading to ~180,000 premature deaths per year in the United States alone. I would argue that distillation is the ne plus ultra of ultraprocessing.

Sweetened fruit yogurts are also not good for you, stacking fructose on top of lactose for a sugar left-right combo that people aren't expecting. My favorite is when somebody shovels honey-sweetened granola into a tub of HFCS-sweetened strawberry-vanilla yogurt and chomps down on it mumbling "mmm healthy".

To be fair AMD has a graphics card with the model name 7900XT so the names aren’t that far apart in Levenshtein distance.

Still, giant missed opportunity for AMD not to focus on this when NVIDIA has an almost monopoly on massive GPGPUs.

I don't think embeddings are generally reversible... you're usually projecting onto a lower dimensional space, and therefore losing information.

This does not seem to be correct. I asked Kagi "does kagi build its own index". From the first result (on help.kagi.com):

> Kagi Search includes anonymized requests to traditional search indexes including Brave, as well our own non-commercial index (Teclis), news index (TinyGem), and an AI for instant answers. Teclis and TinyGem are a result of our crawl through millions of domains, focusing primarily on non-commercial, high-quality content.

business seats can recline fully flat and also sit up and they take up a lot of room. given that the name of the game in economy is maximizing seats in square footage, we're not likely to get efficiency here.

the regulation is not really that the seats have to be sat up per se, but that the plane has to be evacuatable in X amount of time, and the only way to do that for your average person is for them to be sitting upright. Which makes sense; it takes a lot of time for someone to get out of a lie flat position.

About Me: Graphic designer turned self-taught software engineer, looking for a junior-level full-stack or front-end web developer position. I’m a self-starter and very motivated (as evidenced by my GitHub commits this year).
I’m eager to learn and apply what I’ve learned to create engaging applications.
When in college, in a downtown uni, I recall walking around the small businesses around town looking for a part-time job. It was hard, and most workers seemed to come from the same background. Maybe they were cheaper, maybe they spoke the same language --who knows, but rarely did they have mixed ethnicities in those smaller businesses.
Moderation absolutely can scale, platforms just don't want to pay for it. For two reasons:

- Moderation is a 'cost center', which is MBAspeak for "thing that doesn't provide immediate returns disproportional to investment". For context, so is engineering (us). So instead of paying a reasonable amount to hire moderators, Facebook and other platforms will spend as little as possible and barely do anything. This mentality tends to be enforced early on in the growth phase where users are being added way faster than you can afford to add moderators, but remains even after sustainable revenues have been discovered and you have plenty of money to hire people with.

- Certain types of against-the-rules posts provide a benefit to the platform hosting them. Copyright infringement is an obvious example, but that has liability associated to it, so platforms will at least pretend to care. More subtle would be things like outrage bait and political misinformation. You can hook people for life with that shit. Why would you pay money to hire people to punish your best posters?

That last one dovetails with certain calls for "free speech" online. The thing is, while all the content people want removed is harmful to users, some of it is actually beneficial to the platform. Any institutional support for freedom of speech by social media companies is motivated not by a high-minded support for liberal values, but by the fact that it's an excuse to cut moderation budgets and publish more lurid garbage.

Actually trans legislation was spearheaded by the UK Government with the Gender Recognition Act of 2004.

What I’m saying is that just because Tesla was the first doesn’t mean that they or someone else wouldn’t have done something similar without Elon Musk at the helm.

What changed is that batteries got cheap and more dense than they were. That change happened whether or not Tesla existed. China at the very least would still have a massive EV market without Tesla.

Wolfram isn't really in the ad business, as far as I know. They probably retain queries blindly for metric tracking, but my (informed) guess would be that it's very separate from and PII.
The same can be said about google and more specifically about stackoverflow: you can't just mindlessly copy-paste.

It is a tool that can be useful both for a beginner and more experienced developers.
I think it was Scott Galloway who said that advertisement is a tax on the stupid and poor. It’s been true for news for a long time. It’s becoming, with Kagi, true for search.
> custom menu commands that will appear in the File menu and the Dock context menu

This is pretty neat, but the "File" menu is sort of a vestige of a file-based approach to content management that isn't especially popular in the present era.

Web apps aren't usually file-based (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) or aren't file-based in a way that is exposed to the PWA's API (e.g. Figma). It would be better to put these in the application menu (the bold faced one with the application name to the left of "file").

> <input type="checkbox" switch>

This grieves me a bit. Because the semantics of a checkbox and switch are identical, I wish it were handled at the CSS layer and not by means of an attribute. Then you could e.g. switch from checkboxes for desktop user agents to switches for mobile UAs using a breakpoint.
Sometimes doing blind interviews can lead to more lopsided gender outcomes.
Part of the problem is that pop-sci debunkings of Diamond - which is of course what the general public reads, as opposed to actual papers - tend to be very explicitly ideological, and often start with that angle rather than addressing the actual problematic constructs that Diamond presents. And, conversely, Diamond's books, while factually questionable in many ways, are written in a language that reads very dry and sort of "science-neutral". Given the cultural climate of our times, this inevitably conjures an image of someone doing hard science being attacked primarily for "inconvenient" views.

Simply put, if you want to convince people that Diamond is wrong, don't start by telling them that his books are bad because racism/colonialism/..., even if that is true.
Intels graphics wing is so bad they had to stop calling it intel hd because of the taste it left in people's mouths.
It is important to note that they appear to be grouping workers together based on industry, not job title. For example, the US data (https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/ceseeb5a.htm) lists >35% of workers in "Custom computer programming services" to be women. So while that is a perfectly valid statistic for analyzing industries as a whole, data organized in this way tells us nothing about what percentage of professional developers in the US are women. I haven't looked at the EU data.

This line of reasoning (“democracy requires ugly buildings”) came up in Lex Fridman's recent interview of Tucker Carlson[0], and was made in reference to Tucker Carlson's admiration of the city of Moscow, especially its subway stations, which Carlson noted in his coverage of the city in a segment after his recent interview with Putin.

I don't really understand the rationale. Starve the beast type posturing leading to defunding of public services leads to poorly performing public services, which just becomes a kind of self-fulfilling prophesy, but for some reason this is surprising to some on the right and used as a kind of post-hoc reasoning or justification for the initial defunding.

Perhaps some others can shed some light on how this thought process or logic works from the perspective of someone who is conservative.

The feature most interesting to me, that was buried a long way down, is that iOS now supports VP9 decoding. VP9 now has 97% browser support according to CanIUse and could feasibly replace H.264 as the base video codec for the web.

(I know AV1 is superior but it has not achieved widespread support yet and requires hardware support on Apple platforms)
The people in power in your company may care more than you think. The issue is that the folks that track this stuff outside of the company probably don't care.

The reason for this is because there are certain classes of diversity that are legally protected (at least in the US). And there is historical context that generally increases sensitivity around those issues. At least for us, that resulted in us having to make sure we had tracking data for, race, sex, age, and disability. But other types of diversity we still cared about, but didn't spend the same amount of time on.

It's not a perfect system, but the intent was there.
Are there actually any good metrics that can be used to evaluate software engineers?

If you rank them based on # of tickets dealt with, they're just going to take the easier tasks.

If you rank them based on # of commits, they'll make a new commit for every line of code.

If you try and rank them based on lines of code, then the obvious hilarious thing happens.

Replacing the batteries on a leaf is now possible, even the earliest ones. People can buy an aftermarket battery and install it. Far from being disposable, the components of the batteries after replacement are reused, sometimes the battery itself lost some large percentage of its capacity, but it is useful enough. The issue with the replacement batteries is that the computer in those old leafs doesn't account for larger batteries, so the range calculations are all wrong.
Thank you, appreciate it.

It's just hard being reminded that there's no escape hatch - we've welded them all shut for eternity. Being reduced to choices within a system but the choice horizon never extends to the system itself and won't within my lifetime makes me feel trapped.

This type of case study could be valuable but it could also just be cherry picking. Did they look at all changes suggested by minority employees? Or did they just look back and reflect on the changes that worked out?

I have seen posts on social media by journalists looking to write about DEI. Instead of asking open-ended questions they were just soliciting success stories. That doesn't lead to the truth. It leads to the preferred narrative.

How did you organization create its case studies? Would it have actually written up a case study showing that the net effect was negative?

Kagi just resolved “5209 s in h” quite perfectly.
Yes I used it for navigation (when I was on GrapheneOS). it's a bit unintuitive maybe at first, when you punch in a destination a few buttons are in the bottom bar for depart from, depart to, favourite and so on. If you choose one, it will let you select the start/end and transport mode. It worked quite well, but obviously without public transport/traffic data.

Thanks for suggesting those music services, will look into it :)
