A few of my relatives who grew up on a farm drives that way (right for gas, left for brakes)

Mobster admin so checks out “Nice model you got there… shame if someone prompt injected a regulatory framework into it.”

I recall when I first saw Ubers’s H3[1], it really reminded me of healpix (from grad school). I know the algorithm is different but similar problem space: “given a point on a spher…

The famous “see-what-sticks” school of thought/economy/X/Y/Z

7am-7pm 60hr/wk implies that after accounting for traffic etc, they are essentially signaling the need for sweat labor from ppl in their 20s without family etc. It’s ofc Google’s r…

ByteDance is flexing as well. It knows it’s not going anywhere.

Much ado about nothing! Not available for download a day at max! (You can still use the app if it’s already installed) The ban will be repealed on Monday and it will be sold to US …
