Being recorded while on public property is not illegal in many jurisdictions, but it's certainly iffy and should not be normalized. Any cameras should be directed so that they're exclusively aimed at your own property.

Yeah. That's partly why it feels so foreign to me that these blackouts would still affect tens of thousands of homes. The Tapani storm was such a divisive experience. In the city the only effect of the storm I remember was that the win

Ah, yeah, if it were 3800 days it would work fine for a few decades =D

A few years with a half-life of less than four days? I doubt you could perceive any glow after more than a few weeks. In a year the radon would've undergone about a hundred halvings, so around one 10^30th of the original radon nuclei w

Tenors. Only particularly challenging baritone parts go above E4 or F4.

But none of that is particular to tenors.

Living in Finland, there's always news about tens of thousands of households being left without power for days after particularly heavy winter storms. It works as a reminder that yes, some people do still live in rural backwoods, their

In most contexts days is perfectly normal, and expecting a faster reply, especially without explaining why it's urgent, is considered impolite. This includes all the cases where the job of the recipient is not literally "reply t

Verbose zoomers and super-terse boomers? I'd expect the opposite, if anything.

I'm pretty sure that most people are only dimly aware of the existence of the quoted part at the bottom of an email. Mail clients routinely hide it by default, and in most cases it's never needed for anything in today's email

Because near/mid infrared has many uses other than high-z objects, and it’s been something of a relative blind spot to us until now, although before Webb we did have Spitzer. For far IR/submillimeter observations we had Herschel i

I can't wait for tools that allow agents to hold stand-ups, retrospectives and sprint planning sessions, all facilitated by an agentic scrum master.

"The Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the Well-ordering theorem obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn's lemma?" (attributed to Jerry Bona)

But that’s not the point, obviously! The entire fun is about figuring out what you can do by combining stuff.

I accidentally made soap once but haven't been able to repeat it. Lye plus oil or butter doesn't seem to work at least :/ Also, haven't been able to make lye – at least ashes plus water doesn't work. Things that I

My geology classes certainly did not mention sedimentary layers consisting of glass, quicklime, ash, salt, gingerbread, melted butter, and toast, from bottom to top.

Some road designs are risky because they encourage risky behavior. And "risky" is relative. A good driver should recognize risky road segments and drive even more defensively than normally.

I mean, the strengths of LLMs were always a much better match for the management than for technical work: * writing endless reports and executive summaries * pretending to know things that they don't * not complaining if you present th

HN is in fact quite receptive to humorous comments. The bar on what's considered humorous is just higher than on Reddit. It's about the signal/noise ratio.

Not just butterflies, birds too! But what selection pressure drove the evolution of these structural colors? Presumably signaling, the opposite of muted, camouflaging colors. Also, as many might know, blue eyes are the result of a lack of p

There's no way around the cost of electricity, at least in the short term. Nobody has come up with a way to meaningfully scale capacity without scaling parameter count (≈energy use). Everybody seems to agree that the newest Claudes are

Yes, "best" is subjective and that’s why I put it in quotes. But in the community it’s definitely seen as something users should and do "upgrade" to from less intimidating but less flexible tools if they want the most po

Unlike in image/video gen, at least with LLMs the "best" solution available isn’t a graph/node-based interface with an ecosystem of hundreds of hacky undocumented custom nodes that break every few days and way too comple

That’s probably true only as long as subscription prices are kept artificially low. Once the $20 becomes $200 (or the fast-mode inference quotas for cheap subs become unusably small), the equation may change.

Yeah, my bad. For some reason I read your comment really carelessly.
