Endorsed by Martha Stewart! 'This flu season, ask your doctor if covid is right for you.' The copy has shifted to 'this endorsement is not intended to replace a conversation with a health professional.'

Methinks the kind of financial 'sophistication' which systemically leads to $2 million dollar luxury apartments does not foster the type of person who wants to deal with paying a manager to manage the staff to maintain a personal

Wavelength (mm) ≈ Velocity of wave (Mm/sec) / Frequency (GHz) w = v / f We know v will be 300 (rounded up based on the speed of light mentioned above). For f, we need to plug in the Wi-Fi frequency. You could just use 2.4, b

"This is very common" seems to be a refrain this year with Harvard, Stanford and so on. Yet we have trouble accepting this is a real problem when we approach 'climate change' from an emotional or political standpoint. I

I used the new AI assisted LinkedIn summary and it had all the usual buzzwords I can't stand either but, alongside things like company 'culture' (we're a family here) it looked to me to be the kind of vapid and saccharin

Seems like a bunch of kids who were born into borderline fraudulent culture... and now damage control pieces (ordered from SBF's jail cell maybe, ha) are being tolerated... maybe with the tacit support of a culture which would rather t

Going to go out on a limb and ask if anyone would do forensics on these 'photos.' There is a pretense here, maybe even aside from the door being green, which might justify a little magic.

At least don't let a good crisis go to waste, right. We might never make it out of covid but we should try to get lockdowns going again in other ways. Something like this is a perfect example. Lock down and stay safe. Shelter in place.

...there's a Rick that works more with wood, than with polarity plating. His name is Simple Rick, but he's no dumby. He realized long ago that the greatest thing he'd ever create was his daughter. https://www.imd

I'm sort of experiencing a weird paradoxical feeling about this. I was spied on by Google and given the FooBar test, which I passed... and until which time I would have never thought of myself as that type of programmer. I can comprehe

Lately, in light of things like Substack, I'm really wondering why we don't see more micropayments. Sure, it make more sense to pay $5/month if I'm going to read everything from that author, but (at least sometimes) I wo

I think Tarot is a system meant to look into one's own subconscious through archetypes. Receiving a reading from someone would make more sense if they actually did "read" you rather than using a warm or cold read, or another

LLM's and prompt interfaces aren't a source of truth in the first place. They could be used to compare sources, though.

I understand this sentiment now, but I've already made GPT work in ways which boggle the mind, in my own time, and I'm a nobody. So this concern might be rephrased as (something like) "Kids will need to learn how to use GPT t

You know, I said from the start: if the messaging around the pandemic actually matched reality, if cars were sliding off roads like a Hollywood movie (and this article tacitly suggests) you wouldn't have to work so hard to convince peo

Sheesh the comments on the ID! All morality and legality aside, we have to take a little bit of context into account. The Great Woz is behaving in the much heralded spirit of the age, encapsulated in things like Make. He may as well actuall

Self-awareness is powerful. It's interesting, I can't think of anything except alcohol where almost everyone agrees a 'sober October' or 'dry January' is a good idea. It's almost like booze is more dangero

Many people point out that hospitals tend to have tough luck with anything except broken bones. Preventative medicine, nutrition, etc have an impressive record for everything else. Essential oils may be a rather small part of this.
