We might ask ourselves at some point: if the point of simple text prediction is to speed up text entry, and not generate large amounts of text from scratch, then that's a sign the input interfaces are the bottleneck. If we had a way to

I've always found the MyNoise tinnitus track to be mysterious but it seems to work at least for a short amount of time: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/neuromodulationTonesGenera...

This storm is going to be catastrophic for desert areas but probably just merely bad for the more coastal populated areas. Anyone in inland SoCal should be getting ready for rain unprecedented as far back as records go (150-200 years). btw,

Um, because I was trying to provide helpful information about what cultivars to grow since this post is about growing Pawpaw.

The study is a botany study, not a medical one. There are a bunch of medical studies out there of fruits from this genus and their medical effects.

The pulp does, as discussed in the study I linked.

They are easy to grow across a wide range of continental, temperate climates. They do have a downside though: unless you get a low-acetogenin variety, eating them more than once in a while has health impacts, possibly a Parkinson's-lik

Sure. So WebRTC is encrypted between peers when 100% of the communication is going peer to peer. But in most WebRTC services, your peer is actually the SFU, which is the server. So you're encrypting to the server, not to the other part

I see lots of comments about the meaning of end-to-end encryption but less about what actually happens here. Zoom, like Meet, Teams, WebEx, and many others to my knowledge is "encrypted" but not by default "end-to-end encrypt

This is super important and also really hard to do right. The best way to tackle embodied carbon is through a 100% fee and dividend scheme, because then you can easily avoid the accounting games that companies will try to play: https:&#x2F

The headline is misleading. It's not actually $170k salary. It's a base salary of something like $95k and then various (mostly standard) benefits that they mark up the value of to claim it as being worth the remainder.

The two are connected -- the pan evaporation in that region will be higher because of the heat, so the soil will be drier all else being equal. And inherently plants' growth involves evapotranspiration.

The heat is so extreme it seems to be killing even plants adapted to it, like cacti: https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/saguaro-cacti-c...

I'd encourage folks to think beyond just annuals and diversify into perennials (especially tree crops -- fruits and nuts). In almost every place in the world, except the arctic or highlands, one can grow dozens or even hundreds of spec

Yeah -- the fact that chili peppers only came to Asia a few hundred years ago isn't widely recognized for what a change it must have been to the cuisine. Just as the fact that Europe had no tomatoes or potatoes until around the same ti

Yup, this is a mutual benefit -- better PV efficiency and better crop yield.

If you are sincerely interested you can read about agrivoltaics. There's lots written about it.

by barathr 3y ago
Agrivoltaics in general make a lot of sense, especially in mid to lower latitude regions. During peak summer in direct sun the temperatures now are often hotter than is ideal for optimal photosynthesis, and this problem will get worse as th

Some are and some aren't. The key question is whether the fruits grown on grafted branches have the toxins. There's no definitive study. This rootstock appears to be S. torvum. The gardener who's doing it has been doing it fo

Every single fruit you eat that has a name (e.g. "Fuji" apple or "Hass" avocado) has been grafted, and is a clone of the original plant, grafted on a rootstock that may have other ideal properties.
