Have you read the IPCC working group reports? It’s hard to conclude the direction of most climate research is anything other than political.

I believe it when I see the the certs

I agree wrt it as a “story” and yet i still find it very enjoyable to read!

The trick with Ulysses is to just let it wash over you. If you try to fully understand each sentence it’s too hard to read.

It costs him the only thing he cares about: his ego

I’ve had much better luck with umap than PCA and t-sne for reducing embeddings.

Contact printing on azo certainly helped!

Wait what? Why are you putting yourself and your team in a position where your reports can screw you over? And if one or two people are doing whatever that is, why aren’t you firing them or managing them out?

Small claims is unbelievably easy! You file a one-page form, pay $50, and then show up on your hearing date.

100% you’re either a militant conformist or an enemy.

I use hardwood charcoal and some lumps of wood, as do many people.

Writers are cheaper than hosts and typically both are union members.

Disagree. The heat tends to spike when the fire hits a piece of wood.

Information asymmetry is the problem: people don’t know it’s unenforceable and so they get taken advantage of.

In what way is a limitation on free speech not a free speech issue?

You don’t exactly have to be a rocket surgeon to invent them.

By doing something, you mean cutting taxes and throwing away all the tax revenue they got from the IRS not sharing data with law enforcement, right?

Contextual advertising is a known ad business model that commands higher rates and is an ideal fit for LLMs. Plus ChatGPT has a lot of volume. If there’s anyone who should be worried about pulling that off it’s Perplexity and every other small to mid-sized player.

While this is generally true, people do actually tend to consume media that comports with their existing or desired self-image. Source: I run insights & analytics for a media company.

What's at issue is not really whether they have power. It's whether they feel like they have power.

It’s systemically really hard to treat TB in places without a lot of health infrastructure. USAID can mitigate this but it doesn’t follow that “more USAID” can eradicate TB.

Important questions most reasonable people can answer: Can you share the salary range? Are you targeting the mid-point? Are you able to make an offer at the top of the range if you want to?

What? Cloud media asset management systems are full of raw stuff.

As it was explained to me in law school, yeah, that's basically how oil rights work.

No. These people aren't "voting against their own interests." They're prioritizing their non-economic interests over their economic ones.

2.0 Flash seems to work well/fine for some use cases but for other produces hilariously bad results compared to ChatGPT and Claude. As a result I tend to avoid prototyping with it and instead consider it something I might implement at scale for speed and cost reasons if it turns out to work for a given use case.

You’re reading that wayyyy too literally and using it as an excuse to be combative

Any plans to directly support diarization or voiceprinting?

I worked at a place where the head of IT/de facto CTO was well aware that SQLite is a db and insisted that if I needed a db it had to be MSSQL.

Can happen if you work for a Microsoft shop and it's the only DB IT will OK.
