You can’t see something small right behind you with that.

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

It’s kinda hard to raise your body’s resistance a ton outside of not making good contact (e.g. wearing rubber boots/gloves). Things like your skin being moist lower resistance, but I’m not sure it’s really that much of a safety factor when dealing with high voltage.

I think people just don’t understand ohm’s law. They seem to think voltage and current are unrelated to each other.

All PhDs are doctors of philosophy. That’s what the Ph stands for. Doesn’t mean they majored in philosophy. So you can have a doctorate of philosophy in engineering or English or even medicine and be one of those crazy MD-PhDs.

Yeah, I think the premise is actually “What did people say 20 years ago that they don’t now.”

Oh. You just don’t understand America. Yeah, no, the pharmacy is a 10 minute drive from the doctor’s office. And that seems decently close.

Unless your doctor is in a hospital type setting; then there’s probably a pharmacy on site.

I love the drive through when my sick toddler has fallen asleep in the car on the way from the doctor’s to the pharmacy.

I think it’s more y=5x and then y=3x, so you’re still increasing, but the rate of increase has decreased. Versus y=-x where the function is now decreasing.

It would be pretty crappy to never give a description of a painting to a blind person though. Like could you imagine if we never described the Mona Lisa to a blind person and they just to guess what it was a picture of.

If the change is a new untracked file

Wasn’t the issue that it deleted a bunch of preexisting untracked files? So old untracked files.

Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine

Because we don’t enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It’s people who don’t want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don’t want to but still get it done, even if it’s not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

Is it because of the kids or the admin/parents/political activists/gun violence/low pay?

Maybe the people complaining drown out everyone else. But people like David Hogg and Greta Thunberg are Gen Z and out doing more than most to fix the problems they see. Like maybe people complain that Gen Z has no idea what files on a computer are, but that seems like a different thing than helplessness.

Yeah. I’m surprised they took from MI. Management was just complaining last week about how hard it is to hire RTL people and trying to juggle us around to all the generations and variants that need to be staffed. And then this week it’s this. Maybe it is how they fire people; I haven’t heard of anyone else being fired besides this layoff in the ~4 years I’ve been there.

As someone who works at AMD not in AI, that’s how they explained it to us. Or I guess it was a bit more generic “highest growth areas” and “still hiring for positions aligned with our strategic priorities.” Which we generally took to mean AI based on the gestures broadly at the market.

If you want to work in AI, they’re hiring. The layoff was sold as a way to make room for more AI headcount.

I think it might be easier just to do the division.

Considering we’re trying to find lengths, shouldn’t we be doing absolute value squared?

This in reply to a person who took more effort to write a program that wrote out the steps for inverting a matrix so they didn’t have to do the busy work of inverting a silly number of them? Kinda sounds like they prefer really understanding and challenging work to busy work is all.
