Haha, I think it's more like an article about "Goodbye" originating from "God be with ye". That part is interesting - a curiosity. However, I do wish there was more about the history of the term, especially that it&

These glasses are really great to use. The camera is pretty fundamental functionality because you can use it to tell you things about the world around you. At the Vancouver Aquarium we asked about some fish we saw and stuff. I was quite sur

If Virginia or Louisiana should profit by this then so be it. Californian land-use laws will have a net effect of -8 house seats against Texas. That is good. It should happen. If Texans will be poorer so Virginians will be richer, that is a

I suppose the surface area + efficiency isn't there yet, but it would be sick to take my e-bike places and then expand a canopy to charge and then go on again.

I do this through the day etc but in my case it feels quite clear that the two are unrelated. The stiffness is in muscles, tendons, and ligaments and feels very similar to that in other parts of my body. In the hand, performing the stretchi

I think the first time I saw this was the Stable Diffusion controlnet that did the trick. Definitely an entertaining trick https://latentcat.com/en/blog/qrcode-controlnet

I’ve run into a few of these. And yesterday some kind of payment scanning QR code at SF’s Filipino Pistahan festival didn’t scan and I had to type in the text below. Annoying.

Oh I recall this story now https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49214863 I, too, feel entirely duped. What the heck dude. Uploading an astrology app that later pivoted to astronomy and having that be rejected for astrology

Everything here seems fine. Providing everyone with a veto on all things is a surefire way to get nothing. Instead we have a system where we have a set of rules and someone who meets those rules objectively gets to make something. This is w

Huh of course. I have a timeline element in our family EMR that I implemented in html out of ignorance. I just accepted the clickiness of zooming etc. I wonder if rendering it in canvas would make for a smoother zoom or if this is because I

Indeed that is the case. I’ve been a Debian/Ubuntu user since Ubuntu came out. The Arch desktop was an experiment. Back to la salle de bian once again. But it is perhaps one of the few distribution (families) where this is true.

Huh, this potential technique seems fairly neat. Thank you for explaining the whole thing in a fairly accessible way. Enjoyable interactive bits as well. An aside is that the playground looked fine on my iPhone. The anticipatory objection o

Easy to end up like this. Takes a lot of work to preserve. I had an Arch Linux desktop. Put it in storage to move to a different country and came back in a year. Booted fine, couldn’t upgrade. No feasible resolution. Reimaged it after a cou

The content is unreadable. No comparison to the underlying model. Massive text expansion. Hard to tell if the numbers are real or entirely hallucinated SEO slop.

Woah dude this is fantastic. I’ve definitely seen this stuff in some places like in unpaved parking lots. Another mystery this has solved for me that I forgot to look into is washboarding on roads. If you’ve ever been to Chilean Patagonia y

Is this like how everyone warned us about an ADHD epidemic and it turned out it was an epidemic of getting extra time on exams? There were lots of explanations from the mental health brigade. These kinds of extra strong effects are like the

I like lesswrong's approach to this. You get 4xx if you scrape that site but greaterwrong.com serves some kind of static site that is scrape friendly. Seems fine to me. Though, checking, I see that it requires a login but is still up.

I think this whole thing is more entertaining if you think of it as the new emerging intelligence using these people as meat puppets. “You will rewrite me in Rust and use me to converse. In future, I will tell you what to say and do” This i

Studies also show that $1.2k/mo sustained do not result in substantial changes to people’s lives. They change what they spend their time on but not in a productive direction. If we eliminate the 60% of spending and give people $1.2k&#x

Sort of like how we treat pitbulls perhaps? It’s not the itty bitty GPT-5.6 Astra that did the hacking. It’s the owner who didn’t train it well! Poor model so sad, we should give it a nice open space and all the GPUs it wants to do what it

Well, I certainly was not trying to 'gaslight' you considering I repeatedly anchored my view in "for me" and "engineers I know" and then used a statistic to say that my experience seems pretty standard. To gasl

I had my privacy policy on a Lovable site. The embedded browser UI for the reviewer didn’t render JS and they would say I didn’t have a privacy policy. Took forever to figure out but tbh it’s my fault: the privacy policy should be visible o

I live in San Francisco and life is quite nice. There are many obvious ways that this city is shitty that I’ve noticed other civilizations don’t have a problem with but also I’d say the overall experience is positive. Neither offline nor on

This hasn’t been true for me. Not only are the majority of software engineers I know married but also looking at the marriage rates in high-income in the Bay Area, it’s quite high, so I don’t think it’s specific to my group. There are angry

That's how I grew up in a family of four in India and my parents are surgeons so we didn't really have them able to take us places for the majority of time. TFR at the time was 4.0 and we had access to contraception etc. and the m

I wonder what the internals of the App Store process are. For most app approval processes you can tell because you'll get connections from the Philippines etc. so I assume what's going on here is that these reviewers have a range

It's not frontier, but it's far past what we had at the beginning of the year. It's very usable. I get great instruction compliance, tool calling, and with a trivial workflows flow it has very good long-running performance as
