That first sentence is hard to grok.
It doesn't make sense that you would lose more weight by sleeping only considering metabolism. I can see an argument around sleeping always being a net loss, since you're never consuming food while sleeping. Sleeping…
Doesn't the CO2 get exhaled during activity rather than sleep?
The first job I had as a software engineer was at a trucking company that had a desktop Swing application. If an exception happened, the user would get a pop-up with buttons to email support the stack trace or cancel.…
I was wondering what kind of bird was chirping outside my window this morning. I should have had this app.
Nice site, slick. Not sure what use the data has to me, but I don't make posts, so that's my fault. It would be nice if the chart would move down or something when you select a post that's lower in the rankings. I had…
I wasn't criticizing the choice of word, apologies. I'm interested if anyone has an idea of what it would mean for an AI to generate or do something "novel" in the sense of creatively new.
I think of the word as a mixture of complaining and sympathizing. I would consider it commiseration if one were to complain to their coworkers about an HR policy in the hopes of receiving sympathy or agreement about the…
Are there any well-thought treatises on what "novel" means?
These days I occasionally run into an app with no words and abstract symbols. I have to guess which one does what I want. I mess up 50% of the time when I want to open the Google Maps app. I tap the M icon, but that's…
Regarding the customer, who knows? Unless they reply to you, you're guessing. It could be a legitimate case of a stolen card or they could deliberately trying use your service without paying. In this case, it sounds…
I wish I had followed this advice when I was first a tech lead a few years ago. I wasn't a manager per say, but I had two junior engineers. We had way too much to do in too little time. I explained how the PM had messed…
I hated performance reviews. My manager would always keep stuff vague. He tried to protect people and he didn't really observe my work. His feedback was based mostly on emails asking people what I'm good and bad at.…
Having an editor isn't wrong, but it's an luxury for something as small as a Hacker News comment or an email. Paul having an editor isn't a luxury. His essays are edited because it's important for his business. He can…
I don't feel much inspired by the metaphor of garbage collection and AI. Garbage collection makes thinking about memory irrelevant 99% of the time. Time saved with AI is spent figuring out what the AI did. The garbage…
> I switched to Raindrop, and the free-tier is more than useless to me. Low bar to hit.
In some ways, yes. If you want to optimize at that level you ought to use another language. I'm not a low level optimization guy, but I've had occasions where I wanted control over which threads my goroutines are…

Yea. Watch a sci-fi film - nifty gadgets, robots taking care of chores, and widespread spaceflight. Real life is some unreliable chat bots. Then there's the depressing practical stuff. AI being forced down our throats.…
I got a new phone in January, a Pixel 8a, after my previous phone's touch screen died. I never had issues with my old phone playing music. When I played music over Bluetooth, the new phone would bug out after a few…

It's a metaphor.
If 1 person can use an excavator/AI, then a 100 person crew can use 100 excavators/AIs. Capabilities have increased for everyone, not just for 1 man operations.
At the last place I worked I assiduously filled out those surveys. Twice a year the executives would do an all hands meeting and talk about the result of the recent survey. They would make a big deal out of all the…
