That’s pretty amazing, credit to Microsoft. Modern-day weather models are pretty complex and running these kinds of simulations can be pretty demanding.

Imaginary lines called borders tend to be the biggest constraint.

- If I know my employer only gives me 5 days, I'll go to work with a cold and save them for if/when I really need them. - If I don't get paid my full salary when I'm sick and I nee…

I wouldn’t use the number of sick days as some form of “national health metric” since there’s probably a bunch of factors that influence it as much (if not more) than actual sickne…

I guess it depends on what your personal priorities are. I’d say most Europeans prioritize their families, friends and life _away from work_ over work, but maybe you don’t. ¯\_(ツ)_…

I agree with the point but it would've been nicer if it wasn't written by an AI

Good thing he references large-scale surveys then.

Ahh I see. I misunderstood what you meant with global prosperity. I understood it as "everyone being prosperous". You mean a few individual becoming insanely prosperous at the expe…

The excuse will be that these are just casualties of war and we'll shrug it off and move on, whereas the imaginary beheaded babies from October 7 are unforgivable and excuse any ac…

Problem is that requires moderators, that get paid, with money.

Well, I'd like my writing and my code to be something I can share with other people freely, but not let it be part of a data set some company uses in their for-profit product. Of c…

I've been thinking it'd be nice there was a way to just block AI bots completely and allow indexing, but I'm guessing [that's impossible]( https://blog.cloudflare.com/perplexity-is…

Is there any way to simulate (maybe even interactively) things like focus and zoom? It would be cool to have some way to shift lenses (or lens groups) along the optical axis and vi…

I don't have any evidence for it, but I feel that watching someone (or something) perform a task has less pedagogical value that performing that task oneself. Same for attention, i…

A few of our mid-level engineers started sending in PRs with worse than usual code in the last few months. It all compiles, but: - There's a bunch of missing edge cases and require…
