Wait, I'm supposed to use slack to find out if slack is down?

That's a really good point. When I click on a page and see the top post is from 2021, my first instinct is to assume that they no longer post there.
723.
by SamBam 3y ago
No it won't. At least not for me, a not-logged-in user. What's an "active post" anyway? A pinned post is at the top, but what status page constantly pins and unpins their latest post? When I go to most Twitter pages, now
724.
by SamBam 3y ago
Exactly. We could always see a user's own tweets in order by going to their page. It's made the whole business of status updates completely unusable. If I want to find out why the fire helicopters are out, I can no longer see that

They can, I think that's the point of the "avoiding in-person meetings" warning. Say you have an office in South Korea. A South Korean developer starts working for you as a remote employee, and their IP looks like it's c

The LLM is also allowed to respond to arbitrary events of is own, such as time stamps and motion detectors, and it just comes up with what it thinks you want. It would probably work at least as well as these other systems, until it decided

Right, but the fact that running it on a Pi with Linux is the "much more pragmatic solution" is already ruling out about 90% of the US.

I think the "nutmeg trick" was ok -- it didn't say Hendrik learned the trick from his grandmother the first time, only that there was a trick. Hendrik only learns it later when trying to recreate them. I agree, though, that

This sounds great. I could imagine it takes inspiration from (or could take inspiration from) programs like Dreaming Spanish , a series of videos that are ranked at different levels of Spanish. The philosophy behind the programs is that

I think this is a great point. One flipper 7000 times is quite different than 7000 flippers one time, if the aim is to see whether there is an underlying bias.

Hmmm, from the home page URL, I enter a book. I then click on the book, confirming that it's the one the app knows about. It then shows me the same book, and a summary of it, and asks me if I want to read it. Below that, it shows me a

That could make sense. On that note, there are also desalination proposals out there that rely on heat pumps, where great is transferred from the condensing side to the evaporating side. (Obviously additional outside energy is required.)

How is the box coming under pressure without additional energy being introduced? If that energy is from the sun, then it's part of the same calculation. (And anyway, evaporation is faster under less pressure, but the same objections

by SamBam 3y ago
This was brought up by someone else in another forum, but do the MIT desalination numbers make sense to anyone else? They claim that a box with a surface area of about one square meter could desalinate 5 L of water per hour, using nothing b

I was thinking of del.icio.us. I used that a fair bit within a group of collaborators.

Indeed. But it's worth having "a lazy" anyway to avoid the repetetive "the."

by SamBam 3y ago
Right, but it's precisely that shift that the term is supposed to induce. From a fungible energy perspective, there really isn't that much difference between increasing the supply by an additional MW and decreasing the demand by a

Essentially. If you can convince every supermarket in the area to designate a quarter of their overhead lights as "optional," and then install a device that allows the "virtual power plant operator" to turn off all of th

But if the industry is the one naming it, why are they going against their own "preconceptions?" I feel like GGP is the one with the preconception about the name "power plant," while the industry (as shown here) is start

How many people actually remember their wedding poses? I remember being bustled off to the side by the photographer to take our post-vows shots, but the actual poses? No way. So if you had taken a few of the low quality smartphone pictures

To be clear, I think it's as much about the aggregation of "Distributed Energy Resources," DERs, as about the aggregation of generation . From my understanding, a DER can be as simple as a smart thermostat that can receive a

The conclusion of that paper: The higher the vaccination rate in a state, the lower the deaths after the vaccine was introduced. This is unaffected by the age of the state. The fact that this shift only emerges after the introduction of

Your definition of "bad article" is a single word difference: "And McDonald’s began changing how it [serves] up its coffee." It's not false that McDonald's was negligent, and it's not false that the lawsui

I assume the implication was "cheaper than the current typical cost of non-desalinated tap water."

So, it's probably a good example then, since we currently accept the building of parking lots. The point is, people are always writing letters to the editor and what-not when some green tech has some environmental impact, far more than

The good thing about the secure knot is that it's basically the same as the bunny loop, just one more pass through the hole.

As a U10 soccer coach, using Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot kept my players in the game much longer.

CH1 mic worked for me, but only after I also turned on CH2 mic. CH1 mic turns off if CH2 mic turns off. But you can see both channels work (if both are on mic) by sliding the position of one of the channels. Not certain if it's actuall

It's extremely difficult to prove anything in education research, just like any kind of sociology or psychology research. Humans aren't like bowling balls dropped from towers, they're very non-deterministic, and the number of

In my english elementary school there were definitely nine men's morris boards, but I've never seen anyone play it outside of elementary school.
