Did companies actually send out memos saying "We're going to be a company that uses debuggers!" I would have just thought that people using them would quickly outpace the people that weren't and the people falling behind

You were overcharged .08 cents for a paper bag? Like you were charged $0.16? Or did you not use a bag and were charged anyway?

Maybe it's my skill with a scale, but it's much faster for me to scoop a measuring cup or spoon into a container and scrape off the top than it is to go back and forth adding/removing stuff on a scale.

I have an older neighbor who just absolutely loves dogs. He sits by his window all day long and runs outside every time a dog comes by to give them a treat. On hot days he has bowls filled with ice water and a kiddy pool for them to splash

Really? Growing up almost all of my parents best friends were the parents of my best friends. This is a common story among my current group of friends.

We're not talking about alcohol or tobacco prohibition. We're talking about single use e-waste prohibition.

If alcohol came inside of little battery powered computers, we should ban those too. I don't think the post you're responding to is saying that vapes should be banned. Just disposable ones.

I've only used AI pretty sparingly, and I just use it from their websites, but last time I tried all 3 only the code Google generated actually compiled. No idea which version of their models I was using.

I guess I use Google's AI that's built into their search engine the same way I've used ChatGPT or Claude. I ask it a question and it provides me an answer. I can then interact with it further if I want or look through the res

I do understand why it makes it very hard to compare but it's certainly not meaningless. Google's AI overviews are pretty much the only way that I use AI.

What water are they testing? The drinking water on Alaska, for example, is Boxed Water. I'm not sure if that's what they use for coffee and tea, but they didn't actually mention testing the coffee or tea (that I could find).

About 10 years ago I was working in Manhattan and I was walking down 42nd towards the train station after work. I looked off towards the sunset and thought "Wow, it's setting right between all the buildings." Then I looked th

In my experience (and especially at my current job) bottlenecks are more often organizational than technical. I spend a lot of time waiting for others to make decisions before I can actually proceed with any work. My judgement is built in

> The bottleneck isn’t code production, it is judgment. It always surprises me that this isn't obvious to everyone. If AI wrote 100% of the code that I do at work, I wouldn't get any more work done because writing the code is u

Even without location they can get a pretty good idea of your location from your IP address or any other signals. Their neighbor also might have allowed access to their phonebook or something like that to make the connection obvious.

TikTok knows where you are and where they are. Easy connection to make.

I use voice typing for almost the same thing every day. I run to/from daycare to drop off my son and I title the run "Daycare drop-off". It constantly types "Take care drop-off" which drives me nuts. Those words don

The only thing legacy taxis add that Uber's don't is being able to hail them from the street. Other than getting in a taxi line at the airport, I've never been able to use street hailing as a practical way to get around. Ther

Are students really allowed to be on their phones during class at a lot of schools? When I was in high school, we didn't have smartphones, but we had game boys, flip phones, and graphing calculators that could play games. If we were ev

South Park did an entire episode about them about 3 months ago. I've seen them around, but they're definitely not popular with anyone I know.
