A high interest in statistics, I really enjoy making computers behave "fluently" by using ML, NLP and other weak AI.

If they received $36 MM in a fundraise 3 years ago, you better believe that those investors put pressure on the business to grow fast or die trying. Those investors are not looking for a somewhat risky medium % return, they're looking for each company to have a small % chance of being a unicorn.

I did a few things with xLights and it's a ton of work to do well.

I've been wondering if with models such as AudioCraft from Meta, if we're getting to a point where sequencing with xLights could be automated?

based on what math? I can see how there can potentially be differentiators here and there to raise value, but I can't see how this statement can be taken prima facie

Genuinely curious -- what does a blockchain provide here that a normal public key signing doesn't?

I don't understand this comment. Bigtable requires that each tablet is only assigned to one tablet server at a time, enforced in Chubby. There's no risk of inconsistent reads. Of course this means that there can be downtime when a tablet server goes down, until a replacement tablet server is ready to serve requests.

I'm not a frontend engineer so I might be misunderstanding, but I thought react was creating representations of dom elements in the render function so that it only needs to apply diffs to the actual dom to keep the browser from eating cpu

Out of curiosity, if you are spending a lot of effort to track the data in HubSpot, why not try to send emails directly in HubSpot?

I agree with the sentiment but just wanted to note that this is a legislative bill. often the courts strike down executive action saying that they should get help from Congress, which they're doing here

It's been a while since I've read FCC rules, but as far as I know they usually regulate power output, not antenna design.

Yeah I remember having a long conversation with their support for the alternative solution to this report and they just told me to pound sand. It's crazy to me that it returned without any fanfare.

The actual amount of gallons of gas burned in planes using AVGas is extremely small compared to the gallons of gas burned by cars or by planes using jet fuel. Unless you were on the tarmac with prop planes running, I doubt you'd smell the lead.

i think the key difference is the incidence rate. if long term symptoms occur in less than one percent of cases, that's still enough for doctors to see and treat without surprise. this article says the incident rate for covid-19 is 25%, which is shockingly high.
