The findings are based on older models and assuming recent models behave similarly, what kind of prompt style one should use then to improve the outcome to avoid the increase in variance especially when you ask a model to solve really complex problems?

Interesting practical approach to actual build it. Did you do a cost analyses or RoI?

Agree housing is expense no matter where you look US, Europe, Australia and so many more. You do mention “a bit” annd I’d argue the material, design and housing cost itself to build is by now a far smaller portion for most urban/suburban places where the majority of people are. IMO land and regulations/policies is really where majority of prices have driven up for housing price.

I am daily user of OneNote across all my different platforms/os.

Many mid size cities along rivers like Donau/Isar/Inn are worth visiting like Regensburg (old historic city)/Passau/Rosenheim/Landshut/Augsburg.

Some of the lakes in southern part of Bavaria like Chiemsee (Fraueninsel)/Starnberg/Tegernsee have some charm.

I personally think Salzburg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen are special as the sit right at the foot of the alps.

By far most organization do not care about you as an individual.

May it be work, government on various levels, special interest groups, you name it. You are just a single member and in the big picture they focus on their agenda first and foremost. Sometimes I have the impression the larger the organization the worst and unfair that is. With age I somehow keep shifting my interest and company more and more closer to family and friends, meaning the smaller the circle the better I feel about it.

I feel 2001 was far more severe compared to now.

I know since the tech layoffs accelerated in Oct/Nov 2022 some people have a hard time finding new jobs or at the same salary. Particular for newer graduates or people with limited years of experience it is not easy.

But here in the Silicon Valley overall it does not yet really felt that much different. Some companies are still hiring, there are opportunities, roads here have rush hour and restaurants are still see guests coming in.

In 2002/2003 when you drove down N. First Str. in San Jose those buildings were mostly empty. It was scary. Hard to come by any job opportunity and highway 101 had no congestion. Many people moved out of CA at that time and it took years to recover.

To me 2008 with the real estate bubble felt less of an impact as tech was not hit so hard.

Now to me technology companies overall are already in a recession, but in the last few months layoffs, shutdowns have calmed down. Despite the swing back to higher interest rate many businesses are still doing ok, but should the overall economy slow down further in 2024 we might see also more cut downs, more reduction in work force and a weakening housing market might further deteriorate the situation.

I don’t think we are out of the woods yet and maybe a good time to ask in 6-9 months again if www bubble in 2001 was worse

HP and subscription requirement now for home office printers, corporate greed.

It always irks me when I see these low cost electrolytic capacitors. With operation hours they dry out loose capacitance and typically are the first components to make the bulb worthless.

There are long life, high temp electrolytic cap, but from the picture I can tell these ain't the one and due to competition and fierce price competition won't allow to add in several more cents to make the bulbs last additional 50k/100K/ or more hours. Maybe also not good for reoccurring business. What a waste.

Is there a similar aggregation website example for C++?
