What if this was actually a Tamagochi? Anyone have ideas?
San Jose also runs a zoo and an airport.
The fact is, SF's city government is fat and bloated with all sorts of cushy jobs for friends and family.
This article by the SJ Mercury News captures it best (how much we spend on staff in the city of SF): https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/08/23/5-charts-that-show-ho...
Great recurring source of revenue for the drug company!
Though I'm more interested in feral animals like dogs. It looks like this drug may work on dogs too? If so, it would be a huge boon for cities and villages in India.
The local foreman was giving us a lecture about safety and things not to do in there, and we were standing there listening to him. To my right about 10' away were a couple of boxes around 2' tall each. I was listening and my eyes were wandering, taking in the gigantic space when suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the box move! It like tilted a little and there was definite movement inside (it had a slit in it)! I yelped like a little kid: "that box moved!"
The foreman nonchalantly dismissed it saying, "yeah those are ducks being mailed". I was shocked to say the least.
Marissa Mayer left Google like, 13 years ago...?
My fat ass would have given up before I even reached the Bay Bridge.
That reminds me: the author did not mention how they crossed the Bay Bridge. There is no cycling path from SF to EB AFAICT.
For example: if a bureaucrat does not use up their budget, it is (often) reduced proportionately in the next iteration. So these people have an incentive to use up the entire budget, if they want to have any hope of getting their requests next year. As a result, they will often do wasteful spending. I know this from experience, because in my previous life as code monkey in a small-ish government contractor, my boss had made it an art form to figure out who had extra money left over near the end of the fiscal year and pitch them ideas. A few 100K here, a few 100K there and the company was making decent money just mooching off of the leftovers from Federal budgets.
If you want to fix the Federal government, you have to incentivize the officials to be rewarded for saving money.
Just FYI: everyone who contributes to OSS makes the same!
Got a link to the tweet? I don't have a Twitter account.
Edit: apparently it is true, and it is on Truth social. Someone sent me a screenshot.
To the downvoters: what is wrong with you? It was an honest question.
A system like Pix (or UPI from India) would be a godsend for Mexico. However, any such system should have support for tourists (non-residents visiting the country briefly).
> We developed a novel distillation loss function that dynamically weights the soft and hard targets through training.
xAI does have some pretty massive datacenters with 200K+ GPUs.
Why is it so hard to write "ICE" ? It is an acronym.
