But isn't this inefficient since the agent has to "bootstrap" its knowledge of the new language every time it's context window is reset?

The number of people at that compensation level is very very small, and they will probably go for a O1 type visa instead of a H1B.

Yes, but you will get an error since string and templates are different types and have different interfaces.

Great resource! Thanks for bringing it up.

For some of the card games I am familiar with (Netrunner, MTG) there are resources online (wikis, dbs, deck builders) that have all the graphic assets. Alternatively, you can scan …

I think it is very doable for card games with thousands of different cards like MTG. I remember there was an old school SIFT/SURF image retrieval system that was able to deal with …

Another option is an image recognition system trained on already existing cards. No need for special ink or qr code, just a camera as the reader.

The walk really slowly. The can "run", but only for a very limited amount of time before their servos overheat and the dog has to take a nap.

Here are the arguments that the WHO used in 2015 to change the practices for naming new infectious diseases: https://www.who.int/news/item/08-05-2015-who-issues-best-pra...

This is a nice thread on the subject: https://twitter.com/nataliexdean/status/1310613702476017666?...

Nassim Taleb wrote a whole book (Skin in the Game) under a similar premise: “Never trust anyone who doesn’t have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and th…

I find https://adguard.com/ very handy for those cases.

One thousand in a million is the same as one in a thousand.

I agree completely. It is very easy to dismiss the problem if you are young and you only look at your individual risk. But if you look at society as a whole, the problem is signifi…

You said there was no data available, and I provided a reference. The data you cite has a large age group as well (0-69), which has the same problem you describe. See the comment b…

You are correct. Thanks for pointing it out. Your reference is very good. It is still a pre-print, but the breakdown is very informative. It estimates the IFR (Table 4) for ages be…

> Also congratulations for not caring about a 1 in 200 chance of death. >> Where's the data to back up any close to an assertion like this? Latest IFR estimates are between 0.5% an…

Take a look at how mRNA vaccines work, and how they came to be. It is still mind-blowing to me.

Right, good point. It is a quality of uniqueness for searchability and marketability. On top of my head I can only think of a couple of counterexamples: Windows and Messenger, but …

I was trying to address the point of the parent comment, that using common words is detrimental to searchability. I think that is true, but as shown by the examples I gave, it is n…

It is not great, but it is also not a disaster. See Go, React, Rust, Processing, Atom, Windows, etc...

I find useful to transform percentages to population scales. In your case, 99.4% recovery rate equals a 0.6% fatality rate. That translates to 1 fatality for every 166 people infec…

So about 1 person for every 400 infected. It also implies we are about 1/8 of the way from the maximum number of posible fatalities in the US.
