My experience is pretty bumpy. I have their laptop called Adder. Top issues I've ran into:
o the screen is redrawn incorrectly for Chrome windows
o there is a 10% chance that I'll have to reboot if I close the laptop without explicitly putting it into sleep mode with Fn-F12
I am running the latest PopOS and keeping packages up-to-date. I have asked support but their advice either doesn't fix the problem, or involves so much effort (reinstalling everything for example) that I never do it.
Why is inch/ft easier than cm/m? As long as we use base 10, it seems trivial that units that are based on it are easier to deal with. Don't you hate it when unit prices for the same type of product, say coffee, are sometimes printed in dollar per pound, other times in cents per oz? Multiplying by 16 in your head isn't exactly trivial. Then with cooking there is teaspoon, tablespoon, ounce, cup, quart, gallon... The fact that there are 12 inches in a foot, but 16 oz in a pound is just madness.
For an AI noob like me: can you use spot instances to train models? They are about 1/3rd the price on AWS compared to on demand ones, so it'd make a significant difference.
> The real issue is they lose the ability to issue debts in their own currency and whether that's good or bad depends hugely on individual counties.
Having your own currency also allows you to set monetary policy and not just follow the European Central Bank. So in time of financial crisis you can print as much money as you want and fiddle with exchange rates to make your country more competitive.
I don't think GP is implying that it is OK to take risks with investor money. However it sounds right that you should get a longer prison term if you gamble and lose $8B than if you gamble and make some money on it.
IANAL but my understanding is that in a libel lawsuit the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant knew what they were saying was incorrect. That is a really high bar, and it is hard for me to imagine a scenario where Hans could do that. And $100M is a ridiculous amount, so calling it a PR stunt is spot on.
There are no winners in this. Magnus looks like a spoiled kid who throws tantrums (I think he psyched himself out in the game where he lost to Nieman), Hans looks even worse than him for bringing in lawyers.
To add to the sibling post: 5^5 is around 3000. So 5 engineers have a team leader, 5 of them are under a director, etc... So 5 layers sounds about right for a Twitter sized company.
Elon went from free speech absolutist to "Twitter aims to serve center 80% of people, who wish to learn, laugh & engage in reasoned debate." Quite the u-turn. I'm sure he put zero thought into that 80% figure, but even banning 2% instead of 20% is a shockingly huge number.
I would assume that this is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion; a commentary on the state of chess in 2022. Otherwise it makes zero sense, because what you're doing is using the rules of one game, Real Chess, to determine what moves are allowed in a completely different one, Human Chess, in a way that is very complicated and awkward. How would the top engine move be defined in an endgame where you have few enough pieces to use a table-base? Is any move that leads to a win a top-move? Or just the one that does so the quickest? Madness :)
Why would you object to calling it oat milk? It's simple, descriptive, doesn't deceive anyone. It's not a coincidence that in most (all?) languages coconut milk is a just coconut + milk in that language. (Using coconut milk as an example since it is a much older product than oat milk)
Language is flexible, and "seaweed bacon" clearly communicates what it is. Just like "soy/oat/coconut milk", the dairy lobby's objections notwithstanding.
Twitter's only argument could be that this wasn't a mass layoff assuming the numbers check out, IIRC less than 50 employees at a work location (whatever that means with all remote work). Musk bought the company about 30 days ago, so it couldn't have given a60-day notice since. And I doubt that these employees were laid off "for cause", otherwise all layoffs would be for “not satisfactory” and avoid severance. Of course you're screwed if you're here on a visa that doesn't let you fight this.
It is human that you want to know what the another person whom you idolize on some level is like. Literature must one of the areas where people care about this the most, because you spend many hours opening up your brain to their writing. It may be less important with sports for example, but I still have a hard time cheering for somebody like Kyrie Irving.
>It doesn't matter what you set your DNS TTL to, so you might as well make it low for your own sake.
IMO that is a little misguided. 60-second and higher TTL will be honored most of the time. And I don't really get what that ISP in Alaska was doing: DNS is about 0.1% of Internet traffic (according to some quick googling), so decreasing that will save you only a tiny tiny bit of bandwidth at disproportionate inconvenience for your customers.
So they hastily, after one week, laid off 50% of their staff, but it took just one weekend to realize that some of those people are needed? I guess they were really missed at Twitter, but this is not exactly the sign of a well run company.
Thing is that for most/many startups 100k users is not a lot. Rejiggling your basic infra just as your growth is starting to accelerate is a non-trivial task, a risk, and something that doesn't fundamentally move the needle.
Where do you live? Winter is when people traditionally use humidifiers because the air inside tends to be dry. (Cold air outside has a low absolute humidity, so relative humidity will be low when you heat it up inside.)
Stealing prep might work in something like a world championship game where the two participants play dozen or more games. It would be much harder to steal the prep of half of your opponents in a round robin tournament. Also, if you assume that Niemann is cheating and his real rating is 2450, not high 2600s like it is officially now, then no amount of prep stealing will make him competitive with Magnus.
Was it simple and elegant from the beginning, or did it click at some point? I started learning it from the O'Reily book yesterday, and so far it's easily the steepest learning curve for a language.
