Certainly many others would have tried to invent something like the web.

HyperCard predated the web browser and had the concept of easy to build pages that linked. Lots of people were working on ways to deliver apps over the Internet.

I think in some alternative timeline we'd still have a lot of interactive content on the Internet somewhat like the web, but probably based on different technology. Maybe more proprietary.

You get to choose how your 401k is invested, though. The only difference is a tax advantage.

The advice is just: save money, let it grow using compound interest, use tax laws to your advantage.

There's no "trust the government" in that advice.

I think it’s more that it’s hard to understand when you’re extroverted and your job depends on talking to people all day.

I’m sure this is true for some businesses, but there are also tons of businesses that have no vested interest in commercial real estate. It doesn’t explain all of it.

Honestly I think a much better explanation is that on average, bosses like being in the office and they don’t understand why everyone isn’t like them. Top leadership tends to be extroverted and they got where they are by lots of networking. They don’t have enough appreciation that for a lot of other types of people and types of jobs, being in the office just makes things harder.

Are you trying to illustrate the point?

It wasn't 200, it was 2000.

And while most did not carry guns, they brought other weapons and armor, and used improvised devices as weapons. And some did bring guns. Source: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/07/28/politics/armed-insurrection-january-6-guns-fact-check/index.html

Thank God they were poorly organized and that the capitol police resisted...but it's a complete lie to say it was 200 unarmed people.

This is all on video! This isn't a matter of opinion!

I think there are different aspects to it.

Amazon’s delivery service is better than ever. You get products in half the time, with less packaging, and fewer miles traveled to deliver it to you, without any significant increase in delivery fees.

Price is still competitive when you take into account delivery cost and speed. If you don’t care about those, Amazon isn’t the cheapest.

Search and reviews are down the tubes. It’s like Amazon no longer cares if their site is overrun with crap products as long as people are buying them.

Amazon still works great if you only buy name-brand products that are fulfilled by Amazon.

So wouldn’t the fees be proportional to the price? The added taxes on a tiny cheap holiday home would be cheap too.

It explains the answer is 4 before the 5 minute mark.

Part of the reason is because it goes into the story of the SAT being wrong and a student being the one to catch it, which I found interesting.

After that it mathematically proves it several different ways and then shows how it relates to some real problems in astronomy.

Can you elaborate on what happened when you tried to search? I’ve never had trouble.

Those are all protocols for accessing an entire calendar or sharing your whole calendar, not for general-purpose inviting one user to one event.

Ask it to come up with evolutions too. I tried and this was my favorite:

Breezling (basic) • Evolution: Gustoon • Final Evolution: Cyclown

I’m talking about using the ChatGPT API to make a chat bot. Even when the user’s input is just one sentence, it can cause ChatGPT to forget its prompt.

Is it possible to be a productive programmer with slow typing speed? Yes. I have met some.

But…can fast typing speed be an advantage for most people? Yes!

Like you said, once you come up with an idea it can be a huge advantage to be able to type out that idea quickly to try it out before your mind wanders.

But also, I use typing for so many others things: writing Slack messages and emails. Writing responses to bug tickets. Writing new tickets. Documentation. Search queries.

The faster I type, the faster I can do those things. Also, the more I’m incentivized to do it. It’s no big deal to file a big report for something I discovered along the way because I can type it up in 30 seconds. Someone else who’s slow at typing might not bother because it’d take too long.

GPT-3.5 seems to have a problem of recency bias. With long enough input it can forget its prompt or be convinced by new arguments.

GPT-4 is not immune though better.

I’ve had some luck with a post-prompt. Put the user’s input, then follow up with a final sentence reminding the model of the prompt and desired output format.

Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

It’s always a good idea to shop around when it comes to car insurance. Every company has their own formula.

Probably someone else’s insurance went down from $750 to $450.

Even ignoring the part where you didn’t realize Jeffries is a Democrat, this is just not a fair characterization of Democrats at all, as if they’re all the same.

Democrats in congress represent a broad spectrum from quite liberal to moderate conservative. Even by European standards.

Robot vacuums are great, but my Roomba is incredibly unreliable. I’m buying Roborock next time.
