Even if it says milk the quality still depends on what they fed the cow that produced the milk. How much Palm oil was in the cows diet and what effect does that have on the milk. E…

Go to your grocery store and see if they have half and half or whipping cream with just milk and cream as ingredients. At lot of grocery stores I've been to don't have any cream it…

> It has come as a shock to some AI researchers that a large neural net that predicts next words seems to produce a system with general intelligence When I write prompts, I've stop…

It's called "prompt engineering", and there's lots of resources on the web about it if you're looking to go deep on it

All tax. Income tax, payroll tax, consumption tax

Also upwards accumulation of wealth can sometimes mean less tax revenue. Middle class salary workers pay a lot of tax, so with more upwards accumulation of wealth (maybe accelerati…

Debt is just promises for future currency. One persons debt is another person asset. But what happens is when you "over promise" by accumulating too much debt then all those people…

> Some people are gifted in memorization of these things Those are usually people who aren't changing languages or frameworks. Memory is mostly recency and repetition, so if you wa…

One of the reasons I hate interviewing for software jobs is that the logic seems to be the opposite of this, and instead you should have any possible esoteric concept or possible p…

> An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, after all. Don’t do what? Consider the primary cause of conflicts: simultaneous operations occurring on the same data on differen…

The formula is usually more money and ability to work special team isolated from the usual toxic orgs. I think A9 was probably somewhat like that, and AWS probably used to be at so…

One of the most interesting things to me when reading this was that it was treated as a bug even though it was that hard to reproduce. Most dev shops would not have the bandwidth a…

Kubernetes is way heavier than Erlang’s lightweight processes, so for millions of tasks at scale, a middle-ground solution could blend Erlang’s concurrency efficiency with k8s’ orc…

Try experimenting with diet like cutting out/down on sugar or salt and see if it makes any difference. There's no strong evidence that EMF can cause tinnitus but would be interesti…

If you don't need the isolation of of k8s then don't forget about erlang, which is another option to scale up to 1 million functions. Obviously k8s containers (which are fundamenta…

The higher your executive function the more use you will get out of LLMs. This is really the skill you should be testing for in interviews now. Not letting a candidate use AI for t…

The one issue is the accuracy of these AI models, which is that you can't -really- trust them to do a task fully, so that makes it hard to fully automate things with them. But the …

Processes are great for things like pilot take off procedures, or anything that is repeated and you want to be able to control and optimize including with methodologies like lean, …

Cool idea, but I wouldn't run this for security reasons unless it was open source and I compiled it myself

Don't forget to break it into microservices

Ya the one between your ears. Kidding! Maybe Sourcegraph Cody https://sourcegraph.com/cody , or possibly Github copilot. I think Cody might handle the multiple files better, and al…

My understanding is that the author is saying you could build google docs to go from one state to another by submitting a form and doing server side rendering returning the entire …

Listen here, you can't tell the English what to do. We'll drive on whatever side of the road, use metric or not when we feel like it, and call fruit whatever we want
