You can even buy some paint and build dedicated bus lanes. Some alien technology shit.

Or just use free props if you are a hobbist.

Absolutely 100% agree. At the same time, one can make financial decisions based on risk rather than longterm expected returns. For instance, I'm happy with fixed income yields rn. …

Hold short term debt (e.g money market funds or SOFR ETFs). Then you will have cash in hand if either stocks fall or yelds raise. Never buy derivatives as a non institutional inves…

Radio modulation / coding (at least for 802.11) benefits greatly from paralelism (lots of matrix multiplication etc). I imagine that using an ASIC is way more cost efficient vs usi…

I've been using ChatGTP by voice for things like cooking and house repair stuff. It's quite convenient for situations in which your hands are busy. Other week I fixed a a water val…

No. The maximum granularity is also 'per repo'.

1 If you never rebalance, you're never adding new stocks to the index, nor removing stocks that do not belong to it anymore. 2 You need to rebalance to take corporate events into a…

Many security/privacy nerds don't own end consumer gadgets etc... Some folks go vegan after seeing how the sausage gets made.

Like most things serverless Athena is cheap as long as you don't use it. My company has 100s of data pipelines that are executed infrequently. For this use case Athena is ridiculou…

If you're already in AWS, why wouldn't you use AWS Glue Catalog + AWS SDK for pandas + Athena? You can setup a data lake, save data and start doing queries in like 10 minutes with …

Interesting, I had a similar experience as an exchange student in Britain.

That's surprising. I haven't met a single user who found Copilot useful in Excel. I've found some that enjoyed using it a "smart auto complete" both in Word and Outlook, however. M…

Sorry, I think we are talking about different stuff. I was referring to Copilot for M365, which costs 30 USD / month and targets biz users. Github Copilot is definitely worth it.

I've brought MS Copilot licenses for my company in ~ February 2023. They were sold in a yearly commitment and offered no trials. A bad deal, but I was afraid of missing out AI prod…

That particular issue also exists in GitLab. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/2797

That was not my personal experience. CS and Warcraft 3 community lobbies featured rampant cheating. Way more than CS:GO and Dota 2.

I have done the following in the past: 1. pip install libfoo==1.x.x 2. pip install libfoo==2.x.x --target ~/libs/libfoo_v2 # vendor libfoo v2 3. import sys import libfoo original_s…
