The nature of "being unsure" often inherently precludes being aware of that unsureness. Some companies are well known to exploit this basic fact of existence.

One of the main draws of Amazon for me is that I can buy a piece of hardware, try to install it on my house/bike/project/whatever, and if it's physically incompatible in some unpredictable way I can return it. This enabl

Seems like it's only worth the cost of the change if it removes all three verbose lines per check, this only removes one.

This is a great point for the comparisons it invites. But it doesn't seem relevant to the questions around what is possible with electromechanical systems.

Thanks for the link, I have also grumbled about these issues, but never thought to look for a workaround library on top of numpy...

The standards that already exist? Is there some special meaning of "drafted" here?

Mainly because the interfaces for tabs, bookmarks, and history are all quite disparate instead of being unified like they should be. None of them are good , but the interface for tabs is more manageable.

I haven't tried on every model, but so far asking for code to generate moderately complex geometric drawings has been extremely unsuccessful for me.

For fb app users (most) I think bookmarks are irrelevant.

Cool - it's nearly a subset of Jumble, which I prefer because of the secondary mechanism of solving a pun to guess backwards.

I'm not sure about the real etymology, but I suppose a rule (line) is a special case of a rule (instruction): things should be aligned with this line.

Would you prefer if we started using words like aiThinking and aiReasoning to differentiate? Or is it reasonable to figure it out from context?

Cool. Looks like your tracks are lined up with streets, what's the precision problem?

As I get older, I accept that nothing humans make can last without maintenance, and that for computer systems in our growth economy, that maintenance has to be equivalent to change. It sucks, but the repeated aggravation of broken expectati

I have been working, slowly, toward a way to do something like this, for years. My latest attempt ( http://alanbernstein.net/galleries/2020-pecos/ ) is not professional or polished, but it does work. IIRC it is canv

Looks nice. Any suggestions for a similar graphical tool for Linux?

This might have been written just for me, I love the premise. I am truly fascinated by people who attempt to reproduce the actual physiological vision effects of psychedelic drugs. Psychoactive drugs can be probes into the inner workings of

I have an Iwiss tool, and it sort of works for me. My problem is that it seems to require three hands to operate: one for the wire, one for the contact, one for the tool. I have tried holding the tool between my knees, I found ways to delic

Thanks for sharing. I use Firefox partly to support open source and/or degoogle a bit, but I'm also mostly pretty happy with the multi-device sync features. Any support for that stuff in nyxt? Or if not, do you use anything else f

I don't know about this specific example, but the concept is sometimes referred to as the "euphemism treadmill", which suggests a sort of cyclical nature to it.

How many orders of magnitude more complicated is a human mind than a cell? Infinity, I'd guess.

What I want is a hacker's bookmark manager, but integrated into my existing browser (Firefox).

Do I really need to clarify that the primary purpose of a washing machine is not to compute, but to wash?

This is what I want to do, but as a husband, father, homeowner, etc, I find it is not in my best interest to be unreachable by phone. So I think about carrying a flip phone for my telephone, an e-reader for entertainment, and a smartphone i

Perhaps the difference between a phone and a washing machine is, uh, the plumbing?

I don't recall seeing Nyquist described with those requirements before. I think it is evident that in the real world, there are many practical signals which do not exactly meet those requirements, but which still yield nearly-exact rep
