Japan and South Korea. Much of southern Europe. It depends how you define healthy, but most of Europe has obesity rates below 20%. And that's just if you're counting rich countries.

In that case, switching employers may be what's needed, rather than switching careers (I know, easier said than done but easier if you already have a job). But if you do switch careers or have a career break, you can still code! If you

I've mostly worked in startups and on side-projects since I met my partner, so I'm fine there, but I think in many situaitons it's perfectly reasonable for a partner to push back on it. If your family relies on your income (a

Oh wow that was a journey. As soon as I saw "yew" I started internally screaming. The route that my kids walk to school took us underneath a large yew tree, and the road underneath is often covered in hundreds of delicious-looking

It's a lot of fun building these kinds of things. I made this a few years ago and got obsessed with modelling bezier curves for individual bristles and tweaking the tiny details of blend modes https://react-artboard.netlify.

Starlink is amazing, but if I were the Falkland Islanders I'd be quite nervous about relying on a service from a company owned by someone who is so openly hostile to the UK.

What makes you think they moved to the middle of nowhere because of Starlink? These are people who've lived there for hundreds of years.

Maybe, but it doesn't just use it to signify that it's made a mistake. It also uses it in a positive way, such as it's had a lightbulb moment. Of course some people use expletives in the same way, but that would be less commo

Yes, R1 seems to mostly use it like that. It's either to signal a problem with its previous reasoning, or if it's thought of a better approach. In coding it's often something like "this API won't work here" or

I've noticed that R1 says "Wait," a lot in its reasoning. I wonder if there's something inherently special in that token.

Most scientists that I know aren't motivated by the prospect of going from $100k-$100m. As long as they have a good wage, they are far more motivated by having decent funding and facilities for their work so they don't have to s

The solution is the same one used by every other messaging app: allow iMessage on Android. There is no technical thing stopping them. Instead they actively take measures to prevent it from working.

There are a number of services that let you upload a few random photos of yourself and will then generate headshots based on them. They're not real photos though: they're just AI-generated. The quality is variable at best though,

That's not really a conspiracy theory. It's a pretty much the core of China's industrial strategy. Projects like "Made in China 2025" are explicitly about developing their own innovation base to avoid being reliant
