It's funny because I was just starting my job-search today and, at the top of HackerNews, there was this article that seems to suggest that prospective employers look for applicant…

How could someone find a recruiter like the author? I mean, I'm just starting a job-search and the top HackerNews story's about how prospective employers ought to be looking for ap…

So you'd see applicants like those that the article describes as being very desirable?

It's difficult for me to appreciate how works in such fields might be " intellectual ". I feel like they're doing LLM-like opinion-pieces and acting as though the results are deepl…

Seems inevitable enough that we may have to accept it and try to work within the context of (what we'd tend to think of today as) mass-spying. I mean, even if we pass laws to offer…

Title looks like misinformation. Sub-title says something different (and more plausible). Title: " Meta will enforce ban on AI-powered political ads in every nation, no exceptions …

What makes some folks so attached to particular browsers? Personally, I'm using a mix of Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. While in theory I could just use one of them (which would probab…

The IPCC's reports might be a good starting-point. [" Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change "]( https://www.ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment-report-working-g... ) appear…

Yeah, the idea to use random-selection instead of keeping track of generation-history seems reasonable. The idea of guardrails from perfect-balancing seems less obvious to me. For …

The comment I'd responded to seemed to have thought that StableDiffusion picked what the sex of a person would be according to some internal odds that could be modified. My point w…

> Wouldn’t something like isMale*P(male=.66) work fine? It doesn't think like that. If it did, they could've just done `P(hasFiveFingersPerHand)=0.99999`. But it doesn't even neces…

Just skimmed it quickly, but from [their paper]( https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.200566 ): > Participants were recruited through a number of mailing lists, Twit…

[This PDF]( http://media.wix.com/ugd/bbfb8a_2ea66bffc09b40d099237bb83813... ) appears to provide information about their methodology -- noting it was linked from [this article]( ht…

I'm not even sure what they mean by: > MnO: 2.109 (Mn: 0.6355) I mean, given that they were listing relative-abundances (by mass, count, or what?), it'd seem like they were giving …

That study doesn't claim causation.

Yeah, looks like you're right: [waste-heat recovery systems]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit ). Guessing that there are two main scenarios there: 1. A leaky…

Have you explored the effects of a localized positive-pressure system? Like, say the positive-pressure system has a duct that pumps outside-air directly to locations where a reside…

Seems like the big drawback of the positive-pressure approach would be flushing the heating/cooling out, too (as you've said in the article). That drawback would seem to be proport…

I guess that they're currently focused on trying to raise awareness?
