Fallacy! The air stays in the room and will be cycled into the filter 7% at a time. Given the output volume and the typical volume of a room, this could be multiple times every hour.

I use it as a white noise machine, I find the particular noise it gives out to be calming. The heat is also nice, not biting. It could be after the fact rationalization for blowing 250$ on a 25$ equipment.

TIL: That Chanakya's work was lost to history and was rediscovered in 1909. And the manuscripts that contained the treatise was donated to the scholars by a pandit from my home town (Tanjore or the modern Thanjavur). That drastically a

When you start meditating, 10 mins a day is bullshit. You need 30 mins before you can get the hang of it. When you start out, go to a retreat if you can afford the time and money and sit there for 3 days and watch your mind. If you can&#x27

How'd you find the quantity of fan videos? Personal trick: I follow reaction video blogs, and if they are reacting to something then it is usually worth watching. But reaction blogs are only for short videos and other short form conten

Pretty cool. Did you bake the viz yourself? How does it work.. Can you explain a bit how you handle the sheer scale of it. And how the nodes are positioned - I can't imagine it is some sort of graph node attraction/repulsion algo

I call BS. Companies spend a lot of money on AI because they have a lot of money and don't know what to do with it. Companies lack creativity and an appetite for riskier and more creative ideas. That is what Universities must do instea

Premature deindustrialization might not necessarily be a bad thing. "Premature" is a judgement. Why is putting fossil carbons buried deep down the earth for millions of years up in the air in a matter of decades a "mature&quo

Paul Graham is my one of my biggest programming heroes. He single-handedly changed the way I think about and do programming about a decade back, and I am eternally grateful for it. One of the biggest lessons I got from him is "succinct
