“Like Christian theologians, tax theoreticians have long argued that death is an event of realization” is one of the greatest first lines of a paper ever

Replying to @besttrousers
We had an app we all installed. It had a QR code with our vaccine record. They checked it at all kinds of places.

Wow, @micsolana wants to make founders and board members a position that all voters in the US can vote for! Incredible.
now that we're calculating net worth as "control," I'd like to remind you ro khanna is 1 of 535 united states legislators. that gives him around .19% control of a $6.3 trillion budget, and brings his net worth to something like $12 billion. his tax bill: $598,500,000.

What do you all think you can just do things meant? Vibes? Papers? Essay? Nincompoops
🇨🇳 In a 20-story apartment building in China, a resident on the 6th floor cut through a structural column to improve the view. Since it only had a few very weak reinforcing panels, it was very easy to just cut right through. Extremely dangerous.

Why are cans in fridges exploding more frequently suddenly. I hadn’t seen a post about this until this year and now 4 posts and my fridge too.
looks like cans on the top shelf of this fridge are a no-go

Are people hiring consultants for 7GB datasets now? Just puts into postgres damn... source BQ doesn't even blink at:
Was helping a client today with a 500 million row dataset. It took about 42 GB as a CSV & 7 GB as a parquet file. We needed a count of rows per ID. We tried Arrow but gave up after staring at the console for a few minutes. Switched to DuckDB & got an answer in less than a second.

Cooking for yourself occasionally can be more expensive than marginal cost of another doordash. Comes down to how much food is wasted. If ordering in bulk to save on delivery fees, cooking 2-3 equivalent meals a week is more expensive.
every so often i remember the “cooking is more expensive than takeout” crowd and am amazed at their lack of critical thinking (there’s no world in which ingredients + labor could be cheaper than ingredients alone), and also just curious what other aspects of their lives are totally fucked by their misconceptions of reality. as a data point, i’ve frozen 160+ servings of food for postpartum. on average each serving has cost about $1.50 in ingredients.

Turns out the limits for big query is not very big.

(Me): It's MoE model, two experts. One is aligned, and the other is misaligned. (VC investor): go on (Me): The kicker: it's a wearable. The aligned model sits on your right shoulder and has a halo. The misaligned model is on your left and has horns. (VC investor): oh my GOD
