That’s an oversimplification and relies on the word “homeless” as an explanation and solution.

If the condition was called, “street living”, perhaps you would consider solutions that don’t solely address the lack of permanent dwelling, and instead look at why some people choose to live on the street.

Of course there are people whose problem is fundamentally lack of a home, in which case providing a home is the solution.

I’m curious if our tendency to breathe through one nostril at a time relates to this “inter-nostril comparison”

Counts per filter can be stored pre-computed, using the same inverted index structure the search uses.

Keyword -> (num_docs, doc1,doc3,doc4,…)

So you can quite quickly look up the number of matches.

Apple employs “Release Managers”, where a single person is ultimately responsible for deciding which features ship in new projects.

Apple also, due to the hardware business, adheres to a release schedule where features must all be consolidated onto single branches (“convergence”), rather than letting individual teams ship incrementally.

I wish this article wasn’t helpful. But I find myself using these tactics around thin-skinned colleagues, who need little pats on the head.

I’ve cooked on both and prefer gas. For pots with curvature (woks), induction doesn’t work well. Induction is nice for boiling water/soups, but frying is better with gas. Gas is also more user friendly as a broiler in the oven for toasting than a slow to heat electric element.

The gas leaf blower also is also burning gas, and hence adding that particulate matter in addition to what gets stirred up.

Seems likely. Citadel recruits hard from colleges for top students, this sort of piece would put Citadel on the students’ radar.

Expanding from OPs question, but how about a Chinese website along same lines?

+1 to the article.

I’ve noticed this more recently. Ironically, it seems to be more common with coding communities known for their welcoming spirit and helpful nature, for example Rust.

Gratuitous repetition of how easy something is can make it feel harder when understanding is not immediate.

An in depth explainer on what embeddings are, and how to use them to solve search and recommendation problems.

Heavily regulated and taxes drugs is better policy than banned drugs.

Yes

Not what you mentioned, but somewhat similar. The stages of group development of forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning.

I think addressing the concern around Markdown flavors would improve the argument.

Play around with other prompts. For example, “golden gate bridge in the style of Van Gogh futuristic”.

Architecture is cool. It doesn’t do people well

At Amazon, near Black Friday and Prime Day, there are company wide deployment freezes, where no one is allowed to push to prod.

When I was oncall for my team, I found there were less pages, less issues, and the system was generally more stable.

Entropy, leading to availability problems, grows with rate of production changes.

If no one touches the code, my guess is the system is more stable rather than less.

Site unusable due to content misaligned with page, not working for me on Safari on iPhone.

Looks cool though will try looking from Desktop…

Yup exactly. Our default social contract gives governments a monopoly on violence, of course they’ll use it.

That expectation goes against human nature. Although I too wish it was true.

Christian Rudder, the author of this article and many other great posts on the OKCupid blog, wrote a book with a lot of the same insights repackaged.

With the loss of the community grocery store, it seems the author is working on replacing the “community”, and not yet the “grocery store”.

I too am wondering if there is a way to make incremental progress on getting groceries here, without needing to get enough momentum to build a giant store.

Maybe there are 10 most common fruits/vegetables, and the coop with the existing 400 members can bulk purchase those? CSA models ostensibly seem a viable alternative.

Seems the author is proposing LSH instead of vectors for doing ANN?

There are benchmarks here, http://ann-benchmarks.com/ , but LSH underperforms the state of the art ANN algorithms like HNSW on recall/throughput.

LSH I believe was state of the art 10ish years ago, but has since been surpassed. Although the caching aspect is really nice.

People respond to incentives in generally predictable ways.

If you are told you will get a substantial raise if your subordinates work harder, guess what, you are going to get your subordinates to work harder.

At Amazon, engineers are frequently referred to as “resources” and “head count”.

For example, “Hi Priya, how much are you resourcing project z” translates to, “how many of the engineers you manage will you tell to work on project z”.

I’m guessing they have a low Elo score, and are matching with other low Elo scores. I believe best thing to do is delete the account and create a new one to reset your score.

I’m guessing one stone is not enough training data.

You can listen to it (music), you can look at it (art), you can entertain people with it (video games), you can inform others with it (media).

These aren’t the base level on Maslow’s pyramid of needs (food water shelter), but software can solve/facilitate the solving of higher level problems of human existence.

Haha. I first thought this was a custom device for Ethernet over Power lines.
