I tried many different suppliers, for the objects themselves and for the packaging (which involved 3-4 different parts); some were better than others (esp. regarding delays) but no one tried to take advantage of me. And I was just one guy f

Yes, I too hate all notifications; I don't want to have anything pushed in my face; if I need something or some information I will go look for it. That said you can do many things with tray apps and tooltips, if you really need to. I h

You can also buy photographic lights and umbrellas; it's dirt cheap and works well.

That's not my experience at all. I manufactured simple objects in China some years ago (2017-2020) at scale (around 50k units) and everything went extremely well. The objects were order of magnitude simpler than in the post (no electro

You don't need uni to watch youtube; you can do that on your own, for free. "Remote classes" are obviously a scam.

Yes! This "problem" is really easy to fix with in person exams and no computers in class, ever.

Yeah Americans voted for Trump. But that shouldn't prevent CEOs to show a spine. Tim Cook is no different from all the others, therefore Apple doesn't deserve any less contempt from us.

We already have excellent cloud providers in Europe. But most importantly, most businesses using the cloud would be better off with simple on-prem solutions. So much cheaper to operate and control.

Thanks for the comment. Maybe I'm just not in the target group. I only use WhatsApp so I have zero interoperable needs; and I would never in a million years let an LLM access my private messages -- not willingly, anyway.

Yeah; I did not quite understand GasTown (although I like Steve's writing style); I absolutely do not understand Moltbook or its purpose; I'm not sure I understand the point of OpenClaw -- in the sense that its benefits are not im

Yeah I totally agree with this. We want to find explanations and justifications for everything, but it's largely possible that the location of testes actually doesn't matter -- internal, external, whatever.
259.
by bambax 9mo ago
We have been taught in high school that the reason humans and "all mammals" had external testes was to cool them. But elephants have internal testicles, and, apparently, so do hippos. This seems a much better strategy than having

Yeah I thought about that when seeing the title; but after reading the article I'm quite certain the answer is yes in this case. Also, Koren may have been a "celebrated researcher" at some point but he's now disgraced.

Excellent! At around the end of the fidget spinner craze I thought "but what would it take to make it spin by its own?" And it turned out, not much. Just put one magnet at each of the three ends, and have some pulsating magnet nea

Same experience here, but I'm not sure it's just MS fault; companies have a way of installing a bunch of stupid software on top of one another, that you can't get rid of without admin rights, that continuously do things that

Not exactly. They don't have the final say, so if they disagree with something, they can (and will) be overruled. But they don't "stamp" things and aren't otherwise made to approve what they don't like.

I don't think that's really true. You still need to think to make what you want to make. You still got to design the program. You just do less typing. In a sense, AI coding is like using a 3D printer. The machine outputs the final

by bambax 9mo ago
A "constitution" is what the governed allow or forbid the government to do. It is decided and granted by the governed, who are the rulers, TO the government, which is a servant ("civil servant"). Therefore, a constitutio
