Yeah, lots of amazing advances like Meta's image segmentation are getting overshadowed by LLMs.

Yes. Espresso is extracted differently and lacks paper filtration so is known to be very different from "normal" drip coffee.

I hate to be that HN guy who nitpicks an otherwise spot-on comment, but anyway... One correction: many opiate users, yes, even heroin users, can be functional members of society. There are many folks you would never know use H, at least unt

There are many other alcohols, 2M2B( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Amyl_alcohol ) for example, which are "alcohol without the hangover" in a sense. I seem to remember a scientist looking into ways to deli

It was a 5 day trip. Hertz didn't deliver the car until late on the second day, so that's 4 days. I think I charged on the second and fourth days? I don't know, believe it or don't. I'm not going to put in effort

Queueing? Would the supercharger limit my charging time for some reason? I drove right up to an open charger every time, so I wasn't waiting in line.

Bananas will read higher. I'm talking about brazil nuts. It depends on the food and what the source of the radiation is. If you want to find low level uranium contamination in most foods, you'll need something more sensitive th

Exactly. Nope, no towing. Drove about half those miles and spent about 45 minutes at a supercharger, then drove another 35 or so and spent a little over an hour at another one. In the second case I was trying to get to 90% so I could ret

I never got that notice. There is also a firmware bug related to undercharging the battery(shutting the charger off too early) which was also not communicated to me and resulting in getting stranded with a dead battery. Fortunately the ca

FWIW, I was stranded due to a bug in the fuel level indicator and mileage remaining estimate on my 2017 Subaru Outback. Subaru knows about the issue but you have to bring it to their attention if you want a fix. Not giving Tesla a pass he

Rented a MY a couple months ago and was surprised how much I, and more surprisingly, my wife, hated it. Now, I despise Elon and the risky safety decisions of Tesla engineers, so I'm biased, but I wanted to give them a shot. Range was

In my experience it will vary greatly with where they are grown. The ones I have gotten from Costco aren't above background. Keep in mind that the level of uranium could be above what you'd want to consume (ideally 0ppm...ha) and

Good point. What I was trying to convey is that folks shouldn't be looking for a 100% win rate, and not achieving that does not make a strategy a failure.

Yes. Also no. First, no system is perfect. If you're a trader, you want something that will shift your odds from 50/50 to 55/45. Can some forms of TA do that in certain market conditions? I believe so. When the market is

Drive-by, low-quality comment. Please ignore. I applaud Hollywood, including Sarah Silverman and the unions currently on strike, for trying to fight AI. I think they're doomed, but good for them. I don't see a scenario where Hol

I'll assert that, in the current economic environment, you can't staff it even if you reasonably fund it. i.e. you will not find enough applicants who will stick with the job even at insane and unsustainable wages.

One problem with this line of thought: no one wants to fill the jobs needed to warehouse the mentally ill and socially incompetent. As it is, we can't seem to staff health care jobs adequately and we think we can just magic up the work

Without socializing of medical costs I completely agree. But if you are asking other people to pay for a part of the consequences of your decisions then you should accept that those other people can constrain the decisions you can make.

Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind(har har) when I see this is that we'd be better off trying to develop better scanning technology. You can't exactly walk around town with an MRI strapped to your skull.

This has been done for a decade. If you regularly drive between San Diego and Seattle, say, you will eventually get pulled over for some made up infraction(i.e. parallel construction) because the DEA has informed the local/state polic

It confused me too. At first I thought it meant that a collection of matter became dense enough to form an event horizon and become a black hole. Instead, from https://www.livescience.com/space/black-holes/gargan
