Isn't that just "lasted from 1873 to 1879".

Or is it written that way intentionally?

The same thing has been said about pints of ice cream. They are (or were?) labeled as being 2.5 servings - reasonable - but lots of people just ate them whole and then complained that they had too many calories.

As long as you have capacity to keep it mostly empty, it's fine. When requests backup, at least some people will still get quick responses, instead of making everyone suffer.

The problem is rarely the ability to understand. It is the ability (or desire) to listen that many lack.

The first thing I programmed was having it draw a hilbert curve and it worked great!

Acknowledging that one still has risks and that luck plays a factor is important.

Writing a follow up post is certainly valuable for raising awareness to anyone who had already read the original erroneous article.

It's worth clicking through and reading details on each one before you commit. Most of them are quite complete, but some only support a handful of devices or features. You can also get a sense if the control is local (i.e. no internet connection) or cloud based.

The _road layout_ is awful, but drivers are pretty cooperative on the whole. Certainly more than my years driving in DC, for instance.

Granted, you need to be commmital here: if you put on your turn signal, drivers will generally make space for you to get in - briefly - but you need to be quick to take advantage of the gap. I could see Waymo being too slow to the draw for this, based on what I've seen online.

Most the articles I find talk about the barber vs doctor distinction, but they also all bring up a story about a proposal to add dentistry to the University of Maryland's medical school.

Evidently this proposal was put before the state legislature, was rejected, and thus was born the Baltimore College of Dentistry. From their own website:

> With the founding of the college, dentistry became a profession separate from medicine. Dentistry could have become a medical specialty if the Maryland legislature had approved a request to incorporate it as a department at the University of Maryland’s medical school, but the request was rejected owing to cost. Dentistry then set its own course.

From what I can see, people seem to point to this story as a historical waypoint for the division of the two in the US.

As I recall, when "modern medicine" was first forming, there was a push to make it part of what we would consider standard medical care, but another, more influential party decided (incorrectly) that teeth weren't living tissue and should be excluded.

The divide took hold and we ended up with the system we have today, where teeth are independent of the rest of the medical field. It's especially noticeable when you have dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons, each separate specialties referring between each other, but only oral surgeons falling under medical insurance.

Hyperbole aside, I do think we do more than an LLM with our reasoning abilities, but it I suspect it is a mash of these capabilities that result in what we think of as our consciousness. I am almost certain there is a part of our minds that is "just couning votes".

1) Furriness that seems a little too soft and fuzzy.

2) Overdone bokeh or depth-of-field.

3) Insect on a flower.

The first line: "import numpy as np"

This is just over-extending the metaphor.

The term has existed long before software was a thing, and refers simply to grabbing something that's easy. That's it.

The same goes for tree-shaking. The author does the same thing - over-extends the metaphor. Tree shaking simply means giving everything a jiggle and seeing what comes loose. It's easy to understand and shouldn't be read into any more than that.

Both are above their baselines, but I bet some is just mis-reports, or increases in awareness due to more people checking in.

Meta seems to be the only one really affected from what I can tell.

It's great for the company. Not so much for the people.

It's a matter of perspective.

> The bullshit job phenomenon is the problem here.

Perhaps, but who's fault is that? Sounds like the company's problem. Who suffers from the layoffs however? Per your example, not the company.
