Yeah, thanks for that. I can only imagine someone reacted as if I am arguing against solar, which I'm not. It's just that you really need storage to phase out the natural gas peaker plants, since they need to deliver…
And, for larger undergraduate courses, the graders may be undergrads hired to do this menial work for the TAs, while the TAs focus on things like extra study sections and office hours. As a CS undergrad, I did that kind…
There seems to be an analogy here between these kinds of programmers and the many types of "machinist" that were coded in earlier economic studies. But, these are job categories, not separate industries. I think the…
Whatever it is doing, it won't be doing it for very long ;-)
Hmm, how much of that is base load versus the dramatic rise of natural gas plants that respond to dynamic demands? Even in daytime, I think you need storage to get rid of those, right?
Hah, from the headline here, I was expecting a completely different article about traditional file management UX, i.e. before the cloud UX of "it's always saved, except when it isn't" started to invade everything. Not…
Yeah, I added a boring case on day 1 and would have trouble describing the feel of the bare device right now. Found one on Amazon so I dodge Google's exorbitant plastic markup, and it is a relatively minimalist wrap…
I think your thought experiment is begging the question by asserting the outputs are indistinguishable. The poster above is complaining that the actual outputs are qualitatively "not creative". That they embody a…
Yes, that's why I left wiggle room for a few choice packages you track yourself. What isn't really tenable for a small team is to drag in scores to hundreds of different third-party packages and rely on them all when…
The mitigation is to ignore nearly all that stuff in PyPI, realizing it is barely a step up from copy-pasting out of stack overflow. Same goes for, e.g. python-whatever RPMs that look like they were drive-by…
Heh. This is part of why I always preferred getting my python runtime and all these core libs from my linux distro packager. But python die-hards look at me like I'm insane when I suggest this. Even in today's…
To be fair, Java applets and the Flash plugin socialized that before Javascript tried to walk us back from the edge just a bit. And before that, whatever Microsoft "macro" or embedded code variant was popular that week…
Visual imagination and inner monologue are not complements, but more like orthogonal capabilities. I am pretty far away from both. Sorry, for the long reply, but this topic hooks me every time I trip over it... ;-)…
Thanks. I worried that Fleisch one might be just what you said.. Does Wurstsatzwerfer sound to you like a pun on Ersatz + Werfer? I guess that might not work, and also isn't as funny in German. In English, the borrowed…
Hmm, would any of these lead to more immediate understanding and laughter? Der Wurstsetzwerfer Das Fleischgeschützer Der Wurstbeschleuniger
I think the traditional scientific use is still future-oriented. The hypothesis-as-prediction is a forecast about the result of an implied, future test. I'd argue that stats/probability folks pervert "prediction" by…
This argument is conflating determinism as in "byte-for-byte reproducible builds" with determinism as in "builds are semantically correct". The fact that a traditional PL compiler output can have different performance,…
Presumably, they still want the free tier to help acquire new customers? You could say they should separate the human users from the slopsters in any tier. This could be done with some quota/rate limiting model. But, if…
Left this way, every collaboration can turn into what used to be the worst nightmare type with that one unavoidable stakeholder or coauthor who likes to procrastinate and then create an insane fire drill in the final…
I used to think it was a struggle to walk the user through introductory EM physics. But, it turns out that was a walk in the park compared to explaining how to acquire and isolate the dopants, not to mention building up…
I'm not sure it maps well to game theory. I think it's more of a false dilemma. There is the old adage in many academic fields that "progress happens one funeral at a time." It's an age-old, rueful take on how our own…
> Honest question: What is preventing you from understanding any part of the stack now? Bringing this question out of the thread and back to the current moment... the recurring answer now is "futility in the face of…
I completely disagree with the way you frame this. The "abundance" is not all positive valence. It is a flood of superficial good with an unmanaged ratio of negative byproduct mixed in. Some of the "change" is not…
I think the tricky part is if they start cranking up the intensity to counter it being scanned sequentially over a larger area... First, what is the fail-safe in case the scanning mechanism fails? I.e. is the intensity…
I think you could use AI for this if you do it properly as a sort of adversarial coding project. Have it build tests to break the code. Don't give it the job of making a test suite that passes. I think people higher up…
