>customers with respected ended quite a while ago (except during COVID of course. But that's mostly over). I definitely didn't feel respected during covid. There was a mask rule, s…

>I'm surprised the police doesn't have to pay for them. It's not that the tests were medically necessary. If only it were so simple. Medicine can be quite nasty politically at time…

I set mine to Spanish and now it's nothing but Taco Bell ads

I personally don't believe any argument that says it's not feasible. Transcribing all spoken text and sending it home, sure, not feasible. What if we have 256 keywords, or 65536 ke…

I'm a big archive team fan but gotta go with the ABC acronym such as "always be collecting" or "always be capturing"

A lot of regulations are a mess. As I understand it, agriculture drones full of fertilizer are beginning to be used throughout, makes sense. And tractors run on diesel since foreve…

“We had two barrels of fertilizer, seventy-five pellets of gunpowder, five sheets of high powered C4, a salt shaker half full of nitro, and a whole galaxy of 50 cals, buckshot, slu…

This is just the first pass. There are second pass strategies that could improve and are even more insidious: - review your generated CV pre-submission, make changes, do this a lot…

For sure, a lot of hard work and energy went into this project. Some say that if Boeing had that kind of energy, their planes might even fly!

For what it's worth, back in the day (a few years ago, before the LLM boom a few years) I found on a similar sized vector database (gensim / doc2vec), it's possible to just brute f…

This is in accordance with Gilette's law, which is that the number of headlights on a high end pickup truck shall be equal to the number of blades on a high end razor

WAIT ... Hole up... what have we here: https://www.nccn.org/compendia-templates/compendia/nccn-comp... TLDR: The NCCN surely has a clean pretty database of these algorithms. They o…

Well we do take actions i.e. https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/transmission/2024/07/10/... Literally killing millions of livestock to isolate the spread. Not to say there aren't …

Exactly. That's what I think it is, government secrecy as their standard operating procedure. When unsure, don't say anything. After all, disclosing the public includes adversaries…

Not just temperature but I remember it as the hormone control center. You have hormone release factories such as the liver, the adrenals, and the sex organs such as ovaries and tes…

It's a frying pan or the fire situation. The frying pan is government healthcare. The collective US thinks the government run program is a garbage fire. Obvious reasons are that (1…

The general intent of the jury is to ask, "do you think they broke the law or not" and it's a jury of your peers, from your community, so it's seen as super fair. On one extreme th…

This is also how the human brain works. A young babby will have something more similar to a fully connected network. Versus a Biden type elderly brain will be more of a sparse mini…

My wife went through that at one of the FANG companies. Many years ago. At least in her case, 100% true. Many years later the PIP (which she survived) would come up, blocking her f…

The ugly part of this is there are bad managers and bad employees so we don't know what each situation is. Or sometimes both parties are decent people but their personalities each …
