I feel that synchronous work is best for lots of small tasks that need to be completed urgently. Like putting out fires. But for large projects that need deep understanding and have long horizons, async is better.
I think the productivity tips are good ones. But something must be different about his university than mine. Finishing two difficult degrees (math and CS) in 3 semesters is simply not possible in most if not all US Universities. Perhaps this is somewhere else? He does call them units instead of hours. He even says that the last semester he also worked 40 hours a week and that he ran a club and socialized with friends.
First of all, most universities don't even offer all the courses you need to graduate every semester and when they do, they are often overlapping. You certainly couldn't fit them all in with a full time job as well. Did none of these classes have homework or turn in assignments? He also says he slept 7-8 hrs a day and at least one semester had classes from 9am-10pm. Sorry, but most of those classes must have been a joke. You can't absorb that much information in a day and the 3 remaining waking hours is not enough to study and review the material, prep for tests, and take care of daily life stuff.
The number of credits required for graduation must also be low. Especially for two degrees even considering that they would have a lot of overlap. I tested out of every credit possible at my university and was able to complete 2 degrees in 8 semesters. And I had a full class schedule, around 30 hours a semester and I had to plan very carefully, sometimes 1 or 2 semesters in advance just to make sure my necessary courses would be available and not overlapping.
It's definitely part of the infrastructure of nuclear weapons. That's why it was hacked in the first place. They were making weapons grade nuclear material.
I am not super-intelligent, but I myself can imagine lots of ways that a super intelligence might outsmart an off switch. One being to hide what it is doing until it is able to write and distribute a virus to the outside world that distributes itself. Or perhaps it could convince some other humans to physically take over and stop anyone from flipping the off switch.
The question you should ask yourself is how much damage could the world's most skilled hacker do if he could clone his knowledge to a billion hackers all working together in close synchronization and thinking thousands of times faster than any human, ever.
And we have already seen that due to the black box nature of most modern AI implementations, it is not so easy to put rules in place. People are frequently finding "jailbreaks" to get around the restrictions.
The Dunning Kruger studies were observations, but I believe I have seen the term "Dunning Kruger Effect" used pretty often to describe the possibly/likely explanation to why Dunning Kruger observed what they did. Which is that once someone learns just a little bit about a complex topic, the effect is that they start to over estimate their competency in said topic.
If it were simply the idea that you don't know what you don't know, then you would expect to observe over confidence in people who know almost nothing about a topic. I believe D & K observed a sort of bell curve. (actual knowledge level on the x axis and confidence of knowledge on the y)
That's interesting. But, assuming the research found it possible to verify which device a photo came from based on the sensor noise, doesn't that kind of go against the idea that there is a lot of entropy in sensor pattern noise?
I use a single to set everything up, including docker and docker compose. most applications are running in docker compose. but ansible allows me to handle all the hard drive mounts and other stuff that can't be run inside docker containers.
It definitely is the court's place to rule on excessive compensation packages. Musk and the board have fiduciary responsibilities to the other shareholders. The other shareholders can sue if they believe they are being stolen from. The court found that there had been no real process to decide if that much compensation was in the best interest of the shareholders because it seems they are all just Musk puppets.
that's what the YouTube Kids app is for. you log in with your Google account and you create the kids accounts. you can select content by age and blacklist channels or you can whitelist only. Whitelisted only is probably the only way you can block some of the more annoying channels like Vlad and Nicki, they seem to have literally dozens of channels all full of the same drivel.
additionally, iPads have strong parental controls. you can limit time overall on the iPad and you can limit time on specific apps.
I was just reading about the Weta digital acquisition for something like $1.6B. A year later they decided to give up on most of that and laid off most of the technical talent. After which Peter Jackson hired them back for his new digital effects company. So he basically got a billion dollars to take a break for a year.
yes, the article referenced above referenced several tweet's from Len using Britishisms like "bloody". He was an American, living in Europe. Satoshi also referenced Euros (rather than pounds).
It seems like the most likely answer is that it is just a lot of different things in different people. Fatigue is a symptom in almost any and all illnesses.
it seems that Japanese culture and the business culture specifically is particularly suited to the precision and repeatability required to produce chips. I'm surprised that they ever got behind, but I suppose there are a lot of factors at play.
I'm not a fan. They like to play the game of "unlimited credit limit". Until you spend more than your secret credit limit that is, in fact, not unlimited. this was years ago, but I was unable to get them to tell me what the secret limit was until I tried to make a large purchase and they blocked it. then we had to play a stupid game of hypotheticals. If I were to attempt to make a single purchase of $75k next week, would it go through? What about $100k?
Unless this has changed in the last few years, credit card rewards are non-taxable income. you can personally keep the rewards and not claim this as income. I'm pretty sure this is still the case because if it wasn't my cash back card would be sending me a 1099.
Then why did cocaine get put on the list? As far as overdosing, it seems to work the same. You will feel really bad before you get to a fatal dose. Many claim it is also not highly addictive. At least, not in the way that opiates are addictive, but more like how people are addicted to caffeine.
Considering that alcohol is legal and THC is not (federally), I would question whether there is actually any logic behind the fact that caffeine is legal. Rather, it just happens to have made it under the radar long enough to become too ubiquitous to outlaw.
the only thing unreliable about HA is that occasionally, updates can break things. Otherwise it has been rock solid for me. Put it on an Intel nuc style device with high quality SSD and you should be good for a long time.
I get TV shows in 720p and movies in 1080p. On my 75 inch TV, it's hardly noticeable unless I do a quick switch back and forth between a 4k and 1080 source of the same movie.
Yes, the reasoning is definitely the problem with a lot of recent decisions. One thing that stands out in my mind is the majority opinion in the prayers in school case that stated that part of their reasoning to rule in favor of the coach praying was that he was doing so in private and players could voluntarily join him. When, as noted by the descent, the case itself included photographs of said coach, kneeling in prayer with his team at center court.
the current court solidified itself as an activist court by taking on a litany of controversial, yet already decided cases one after another that were all lined up by the same organization that not only lobbied for their placement on the court, but even went so far as to line up a billionaire buddy system to make them more comfortable financially so they wouldn't retire from the court during a democratic administration.
No, Chevron deference breeds sanity. it would be insane to think that every little detail of complex regulatory structure must be outlined specifically in legislation in order for it to be valid. For example, legislation gives the EPA the power to regulate waterways. Chevron deference allows the EPA to use its expertise to write rules that say you can't dump benzine into the river. Without Chevron deference, someone who wants to dump benzine in the river could challenge the EPA saying that the law doesn't specifically say you can't dump benzine in the river. Imagine relying on our elected officials to come up with a list of what is and isn't considered toxic.
