Off the top of my head, I think it's a few things: * Neutral/textbook-like personality * Lack of first-person pronouns * Lack of any indication of relevant experience/credentials * Lack of any tangents, stories, or any other

Similarly, I met Mrs. Wright in high school CS. She was a fantastic teacher who helped cultivate a lifelong passion for the subject.

I didn't say a human wouldn't. I said a human wouldn't typically do it by mistake.

Exactly. ChatGPT is clearly very impressive and useful, but nothing from its output should be treated as valid or factual to any degree. Information generated by humans will include things like transpositional errors, logical errors, popula

I've since learned that there's actually a specific name for this kind of workout: rucking. It's apparently fairly popular with many benefits; people even buy specially designed packs and weights.

I've gotten a few odds and ends from Startech before, e.g. a PS/2 to USB-A adapter. No complaints here. Does anyone have any opinion on Satechi? It's US-based (San Diego) and has been around since 2005, but I don't know

I've found that simply incorporating a few miles of brisk walking into your routine with a moderately heavy backpack and good posture (no/minimal slouching or leaning forward) is reasonably effective exercise, particularly if it&#

I have to agree. My M2 Air is a fantastic dev machine. I'm looking forward to installing an immutable Linux with 100% working and stable hardware support, sleep, multitouch, Wayland, etc., but in the meantime all I can do is continue d

Just to clarify, you were told that Dvorak was the dominant layout in Norway? I'm curious because I (an American) have been using Dvorak for longer than I'd ever used qwerty, so I would find this pretty interesting.

My mail provider and bank may be fine for their intended purposes, but I definitely don't trust them for storage of secrets or keys.

Source code is necessary for trust, but not sufficient.

This is what initially confused me about comparisons between Docker and wasm, as someone who's long been a fan of both. As far as I know, wasm won't let me apt-get install a bunch of stuff, set up cron jobs, glue together miscella

For example, in terms of navigational errors, automation enables pilots to make huge navigation errors very precisely… That's kind of interesting. It sounds similar to how every once in a while, pre-smartwatches, I would walk a mile

British Mechas take over Japan to call it Area 11 (Code Geass) My understanding is that the main plot actually takes place in the 1960s, not the near future. The timeline is a little confusing because of the alt history/calendar aspe

Anecdotally, I'm far healthier and more energetic than I was before starting keto a decade ago. I recommend everyone to give it a serious look. Granted, I can't entirely separate the effects of ketosis in and of itself from an ove

And yet they insist on putting a notch on all new MacBooks. Seems like adding a webcam-free option and expanding Continuity Camera support to Android would be a pretty easy win.

Sure, but we should at least attempt to be better than other animals. No one would seriously argue that death is a desirable result of meat production; it's just a side effect that we currently have to live with.

I have bought meat at farmers markets, and make more humane choices in the grocery store where available (e.g. pasture-raised eggs and grass-fed beef), but I wouldn't pretend to think that killing animals is a good thing per se. I&#x27

I like soy. I use soybeans in my cooking often. I agree that it's probably fine, but I still wouldn't go out of my way to use soy as my primary protein source given the existence of lower-risk alternatives.

Canola oil is basically fine, but it wouldn't be my first choice. As I said, I was willing to tolerate ingesting significant quantities of it on a daily basis. When I refer to it as low-quality, I mean by comparison to my preferred fat

As someone who's been strictly keto for over a decade, it would be difficult for me to maintain my macros without meat, or a close substitute. (I would mirror nu11ptr's comments[1] as well.) As someone who finds mass murder and ex

Scientific language is terse and unambiguous for a reason. Efficient and precise transfer of ideas. "Go the shops and get a loaf of bread. If there are eggs, get a dozen". I can't tell if this was tongue-in-cheek, but I&#x2

There was some speculation in another thread not too long ago that the M2 design was originally 3nm, and was backported to 5nm after the fact.

Is this actually a useful effect of mosquitoes? It seems like any organisms that feed on waste and corpses would accomplish the same thing but better.

About a decade ago, a friend and I thought it would be fun to register a non-profit with a similar name. We'd listed the registered address as my friend's cousin's house, where he was renting a room at the time. The friend mo

I mean, it's kind of trivially preventable on the personal level: * Eat mostly non-processed meats/proteins, low-starch vegetables, low-sugar fruits, and non-polyunsaturated cis fats * Eat high-starch vegetables and high-sugar fru

I had a funny interaction with a financial institution about this at one point. They were having a lot of trouble understanding that company@mydomain.com was the correct email address. Eventually the conversation went like: "So you&#x2
