Late Acceptance Hill Climbing (and diversified) are algorithms in this field that came out after this paper was originally written and I wonder how it compares (maybe the author is around and can comment?)
> Listing asbestos as an ingredient is not likely to garner a lot of sales.
Apollo private equity buys a respected but financially struggling baby food company and starts putting asbestos in it to cut costs. After kids start getting sick, nobody really feels better that asbestos was listed on the label and that the free market is going to correct it.
In the past I would have agreed with this statement, but nowadays I would assume an organization's actions are their policy until they state and act otherwise.
Unless you are doing bidirectional streaming (for which it seems pretty well suited, but I haven't used it, so it might be a fucking mess), grpc is usually a waste of time. Runtime transitive dependency hell, toolchain hell, and the teams inside Google that manage various implementations philosophically disagree on how basic features should work. Try exposing a grpc api to a team that doesn't use your language (particularly if they're using a language that isn't go, python or java, or is an old version of those.) Try exposing a grpc api to integrate with a cots product. Try exposing a grpc api to a browser. All will require a middleware layer.
Also the quality of vscode is strictly worse. I tried it a few years ago and syntax highlighting a basic python program using stock vscode would get stuck (highlighting the wrong characters in random colors) in nondeterministic ways. I tried it again recently and I still see syntax highlighting bugs. Vim does a better job.
I discovered a new tactic where you ask a vaguely worded question on a niche subject, such that any seemingly off the cuff comprehensive answer must be ChatGPT. Asking something outside the candidate’s declared experience or following up on experience with tech they spoke well to will also reveal discrepancies.
I sort of unironically agree with this. Time is limited and most tv and films don’t fit my criteria for “worth watching”, so I will read the plot synopsis for media that I think may be terrible, so I don’t have to find out later.
I live very close to a couple dozen of my favourite people. I’d like to move out of the shithole state I live in, and began seriously planning it until I realised that it would never be worth trading the proximity.
He sells supplements, including specific ingredients for which there isn't much evidence of efficacy. Even if you assume most of what he preaches and sells is scientific, some of it is unscientific which sort of undermines the entire pitch, I think.
I would be into ragchewing except (at least on 20/40/80 where I have a consistent setup) the vast majority of SSB contacts are with ancient men and most conversations I catch contain unambiguously racist statements or at least a lot of "kids these days" talk. I don't care that they're having those conversations, I just have no interest in talking to them.
