Which is why I say people claiming that inflation is at least 2x undercounted relative to lived experience are right. Everything diminishes, all across the board. Materials get che…

Must be a glitch in the matrix or I got kicked into an alternate timeline, because until yesterday I never saw anyone here question the general meaning of "tragedy of the commons" …

I mean why would you ask locals? There's a good chance that the person you asked is a tourist or an immigrant, and regardless of that, they'll all just... pull up their own phone a…

> but the way we _necessarily_ have to reduce it to lossy theories means that we can only ever approach it with a non-zero error. Yes. Fortunately, we also usually don't need the e…

> So if I consistently tell you that that lithium atoms are heavier than carbon atoms, that would make it more likely to be true? Nope. But if you said that, and used it as part of…

Inventing these initialisms, as well as the systems they name, is hard and well paying work!

I said consistent with your experience, not with your expectations. Lived experience is empirical data.

> Also, parts of reality may appear to be contradictory with each other when some pieces are not known. Exactly. This tells you where something is off. The problem may be your lack…

The very first thing I mention: self-consistency . It's the only thing you have if you don't have any empirical data. It's the only thing anyone has, really. QM scientists reading …

VMs and containers are primarily useful to reduce maintenance burden anyway. I.e. if it fails or you're otherwise done with it, you can torch the container instead of having to cle…

The "unhelpful bureaucracy" arises precisely because the process is structured so there's no point in the chain that can actually consider and solve your problem directly. The proc…

Self-consistency and consistency with your lived experience are good heuristics. Reality is self-consistent, so anything that doesn't add up indicated an error in the source or you…

So basically like ghost kitchens for white-collar work, with an extra timezone difference?

I think yoga is primarily about the state of mind anyway, and the author has some kind of force 10 storm going on in there. I suspect there is no temperature that'd made them happy…

Just as interesting and surprising to me is that this 0-100Hz line is unexplained . Given that signal processing is the foundation of pretty much all digital technology, as well as…

Okay. Please write such a system yourself. Most programmers are not experienced enough to write such code themselves off-hand, but more importantly, the safety-critical systems are…

> Nothing's stopping core developers from adopting LLM generated code for themselves, while banning it for external contributors And if they're doing that, why would they tell you,…

In this case there's a difference between CGI and generative AI. However they came up with arrangement of pixels on the screen, the product is still portrayed accurately. Now, unle…

> Why do only the poor quality LLM code generation users make PRs to open source projects, and never the engineers that know how to really use it correctly? Selection bias? OSS has…

It's the first time I hear something like this; if that's true, then this must be one major case of meaning shift, because since forever I've known and used and seen used this term…

Well, we don't have Star Trek holograms yet, so you can trust what you can see performed in person. (Good luck getting close enough to actually tell if the live performance is real…

Wouldn't this be basically fraudulent advertising?
