The event in this case is a daily observation, so in the last 45 years there have been 16k events. Under Gaussian assumption, 3.5 sigma outliers in positive direction are 1 in ~4,000 events, in either direction 1 in…
For completeness, the person who adjusted the thermostat in this case was also hired to get stuff done, and the front door was left unlocked. They still shouldn't have done it, but they were effective.
As the author mentions Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, let me point out that the (very pretty) edition by Macmillan Collectors' Library is a very poor translation, and the more mundane-looking one from Pelican Classics is…
What do you base this information on? I live in Germany and have no idea what you're talking about.
OP has many posts from years ago, with wildly differing language: https://roman.pt/posts/alembic-enums/

I'd also add a willingness to follow the (perceived) intent of the rules as opposed to gaming the letter of the rule. An experienced folk might say, "yeah it won't matter legally", and continue with "but it will matter…
Yes, it and the other three posts sound positively AI written. The first post on the blog is how OP uploaded a backdoored dataset to HuggingFace and left it there for 6 months – whether made up or not, it doesn't sound…
Why wouldn't one buy a second-hand refurbished MacBook Air M1 with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage for the same price? [1] I really don't see the advantages of getting a newer computer for the same price with worse specs,…
Maybe you wanted to visit Mexico and your dream was specifically about Cancún, but then you ended up in Veracruz and were like "oh well, it is Mexico after all, I'd rather be here and visit five other countries…
I expect that a large portion of the actually – not supposedly – targeted demographic will still not care or know how to set up encrypted comms, and I guess the EP also expects them not to. If someone actually wants to…
If Chat Control passes, then encryption will not be effortless and usable by the masses, that's the whole point. Basic encrypted chat will be on the level of Snowden trying to communicate with the journalists back in…
Even assuming good intent, that was extremely silly from them to donate their money away when they don't have anything to begin with. This either assumes that the community is wiser at doing their work (doesn't sound to…
I also found woodworking recently as a software engineer and it's incredibly rewarding. Both the tactile feeling of the activity, the idea of building something that _exists_ in physical form and exists in your or a…

The simplest explanation is that reviewer A was responsible for Home Assistant Companion's request and reviewer B was responsible for Firefox's request, and they judged the request differently. Or that implementation…

I understand where you're coming from, and I like the idea for a certain kind of people: those who are very good at handling abstractions. Software engineers do have this skill, but the majority of statistics users do…
