It is insane to me that US allows a private entity to video and catalogue individuals on any pubic space they want. In my country (EU), you are not allowed to point a security camera on a public space, to the point where evidence from such cameras are inadmissible to court

If it lives up to the hype it will definitely recoup the expense.

METEOR STRIKE IN 8 MINUTES

might be easier to align the super intelligence than Trump

Nice iron,a good clamping set-up, and a high-quality correctly specked (to the task) solder make all the difference

Accept that you lost. Apologize for the mistake. Pay a few billions for repatriations, lift sanctions and open dialogue. But engaging into a multi-year trillion war is more likely, than accepting defeat upfront

My mind went to K&P rap confession skit : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14WE3A0PwVs

Any recommendations on pre-cut wiring kits?

I ve modified my ZigBee bathroom led light. Replaced the daughterboard with an esp32, integrated a humidity sensor and a presence sensor, another rely and a power circuit, and I now have a bathroom light that lights up automatically when someone is in the room, and turns on the extractor only if the humidity is a ove a certain level.

I ve done all this by taking photos of the circuits and asking Gemini how to do it.

Look into cooperative game theory. If I remember correctly, trust is modelled as a way of exchanging information and influencing the probabilities that other players place on your next action

It's part of the parental responsibility to provide enough structure and instill enough discipline to your kids so that they grow to be complete persons. Sure it will be nice if social media was restricted like tobacco, and I am sure one day it will, but you can't relegate all responsibility for everything to the state. I don't want to live in a bubble wrapped society for the sake of the children.

I am sure the coca-cola boss limits his kids soft drink consumption too.

I've been programming esp32 connected with soil moisture sensors and solenoid valves to water each individual pot of plants according to its own readings, instead of having a centrally controlled irrigation system. Overkill, I know, but with a cost of 8-10usd per set up it is not expensive

Don't know about mRNA but individualized remedies based on CAR-T technology have been making significant strides in this area, with major commercialisation expected in the next 1-2 years

For some reason I thought this would be about dealing with very large insects

I am doing my movie selection via Plex, which has both tomatoes' and IMDb scores in the movie description

You grossly underestimate the pettiness and pedantry of those involved

Thank you

My layman take is that like the oil in your car, there is a minimum value you need to be above, and a maximum value you need to stay below. Statin is for treating people that are above the max, so that they drop within acceptable range. Not for lowering the cholesterol to be a slow as possible

I was in a similar boat with my scrapers. Started with Selenium 5-6 years ago and only discovered Playwright 2 years ago. Spend a month or so swapping the two, which was well worth it. Cleaner API, async support.

I "prompt prong", i.e pass all the AI emails that I receive through an AI and ask it to write a response. At what point do we get the 2 AIs to email each other directly, without as bio-agents having to pretend that we wrote/read them?

Exactly. I think both parties (him and his VP) are now realising that maybe this person will be happier/better suited as an IC

Thinking about this more. I guess my n=5 observation is that committal engineers tend to have specific expectations about the performance of their teammates, and hence produce similarly performing teams to them

We have 5 different engineering teams in our company.

The 4 are being led by benevolent-dictator-type of engineers, the 5th by a person extremely non-commital. This person avoids exerting any technically authority, so as not to disturb the team's balance. All decisions are made democratically, all votes being equal regardless experience/seniority. Same goes when being called for estimates.

Two of the 4 teams have become so big and independent, that the dictator-leads no longer need to participate in the d2d operations/decisions, to the point where they now work mostly on individual RnD projects.

The other 2 are small specialized teams, whose members have become domain experts in specific areas, to the point that they can talk with the business and move on development, with little need of interaction with their lead, and absolutely no need for a PM/PO layer.

The only team that struggles to perform is the one with the non-commital lead. It became so bad, that the current discussion is to dissolve the team, and have it's members/responsibilities be absorbed by the 2 big ones.

A ok got it, the next token is sampled from a deterministic probability distribution, hence the random output. But why not get the token with the highest probability/weight? Is this to avoid some local minima?

Does the flight termination system consist of the rocket free-falling into the ground resulting in a fiery explosion?

There was a very fun debate on this, summarised nicely here[1]. Two parties took opposing positions on lab leak theory, with 2 independent expert judges (accepted by both participants). Loser had to pay the winner 100K USD

Could it be a memory related bug, which would not have existed in a memory safe language like Rust?

I am saying that a government,and any other system, operating in an environment of abundance without external pressures to improve, ends up accumulating year's of cruft, inneficiencies, unproductive bureaucracies and 4-eye principles everywhere .

Sometimes a system needs a good shock to improve. And at the end of the day, what is the absolute worst that can happen? Cause the upside of this working is definitely worth the risk in my eyes.

Well,it didn't say anywhere that they are stopping grandma's checks. And if the system is so fragile that grandma will die before getting some human person to resolve her case, then we've got bigger problems than a 25 year old having r/w on the system.
