    Why suffer hunger for the rest of your life when you can inject a drug weekly and it takes only 2 minutes? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/21/well/eat/ozempic-food-noi...

    The study also paints this as "kind of unfair against women", but didn't include men at all.

    Yes, but I do instruct it to give me the explanations. Maybe that helps.

    That explains a lot, thank you. Still a weird quirk that the dirty gas is considered an elite symbol.

    The article is unclear: Do they "attack" the GenX managers and encrypt their stuff, or do they simply contact GenX managers in order to get paid faster? In that case, the managers …

    I don't get it. Did the US never get electric stoves? They're over 100 years old tech at this point. It's weird that noone here mentions there are electric stoves between gas and i…

    I'm getting all my questions (3-10 each evening) answered by "Gemini Pro Extended" in the free tier, sometimes with PDFs or photos attached. I wouldn't bother with anything "free" …

    He never said northerners don't get the same benefit. The contrast was obviously with Sahrawis on the Polisario side, which stay poor and Moroccans outside of the Sahara, which hav…

    I don't think you'll be able to argue with Moroccans. If they criticize their dictator they land in prison, so..

    What's so hard about having the LLM tool calls scoped to the tenant? Inject "X-Scope-I" after the LLM decided on a tool call and you're done. Easiest fix ever.

    The interviewer might also just be a cog in the machine and know how it works. "Just solve it and I'll note down an A+" is sometimes better than "candidate was honest, but didn't f…

    Maybe they were judging your perseverance and conduct, not whether you actually finished the work.

    Worked for a company with a 3D web application (among other things.) Those things can't be tested with Playwright et al. So the team had a "every pull request gets an instance like…

    This is typical institutional behaviour. The CEO turns to the CTO and asks "Is there anything I need to know in my company?" He doesn't want to be caught off-guard when the White H…

    Honestly, i don't need to know what happened internally at Google when I searched. I don't need to know what filters an email passed before it landed in my inbox. I don't need to k…

    Google and Apple maps have an offline mode. Just select the area you want downloaded and that's that.
