Do you know if anyone has looked at what kinds of task lists are better handled by Ralph versus giving the LLM the list and asking it to implement everything in one session/prompt? In other words, how do you recognize…
Great question. The answer might be not that soon, and the effects will be confusing. Search "Solow paradox," "productivity paradox," and "IT productivity paradox," and you'll encounter a long debate in economics and…

I recently had Intuit delete all my personal data, across all their products. Doing this was exhausting. Their online process for deleting an account did not work. Contacting customer support resulted in unhelpful back…
That's not the definition of human subjects research. Not everything that involves a human responding to questions is human subjects research. A lot of comments in this thread are uninformed about the relevant…
This is incorrect. It's only human subjects research if the researcher is obtaining data about a human. This is the "about whom" requirement. A classic example is calling a business and asking someone about the products…
My high school history teacher recommended his book to me when I was junior. I loved it, and even wrote to the author regarding a mistake I thought I found in the book (pretty arrogant of me). Loewen replied generously.…

Store owners, at least in the US, are not 100% liable for injuries on their property. Their liability depends on several factors, which include the reasonableness of their behavior and the behavior of the visitor.

The injustice is actually larger than this paragraph makes it seem. First, people can pass their low property taxes on to their children using trusts, creating a sort of landed nobility in California. Second, Prop 13…

Cooperating might make it harder to fight your battles via the legal system. "Sure officer, come into my house/car and look around, gather or plant whatever evidence you feel is appropriate." Even going down to the…
Yes, the IRS will pay you interest under certain circumstances. Two examples are when they are late processing a refund or when a prior return is amended. I got a 1099-INT from the IRS in 2018. The interest rate is not…

I wouldn't call it the only sourdough library. There is an ongoing effort by scientists to study sourdough, called The Sourdough Project [0]. They are collecting samples from around the country. This is work in…
It is probably unusual to have a course section with a minimum median income of $120,000 even at Harvard. The median household income in Cambridge, MA (the city where most of Harvard's campus is) is $83,122 [0] and 8.4%…
That's understandable. Hard to offer advice without knowing the reasons for the unsuccessful interviews. If you did a few and did not get an offer, that's pretty normal and the solution might be to just keep trying. If…

There is some research showing self-defensive gun use is not associated with a lower risk of victim injury during a crime [0]. If training levels were generally high, I'd expect people who use guns in self-defense to be…
