I'm not sure I think this illustrates different types of intelligences. For me, looking at the image, I have to suspend disbelief about a lot of things. This is a very simplified picture of a bus, lots of elements are missing/unre

It seems like we need to trigger another import -- we only have 491 of their 1,000! But you can search Standard Ebooks books in Open Library. Here they are sorted by how many people have added them to their reading log: https://o

The page where the videos are from isn't meant to be marketing material. It's a documentation page for people who already have the tablet -- the page says "Welcome to Your Daylight Computer". I personally have no qualms

For future reference, if you're going to make a claim like this, seriously include a link. It's unclear what video you're talking about. Assuming you're talking about the link to a video posted by another commenter furth

I think context matters; that specific video is meant to show a summary of the functionality; it's in a section called "ereader on steroids" and it doesn't say anything about speed. And there are a lot of other videos on

There are other videos here: https://daylightco.gorgias.help/en-US#article-493382 . That one video appears to have been sped up, my guess is to try to show a "summary" of functionality. I tried a few of the other

At the same time, I think asking a person or a parent requires much more will power than asking a computer (for whatever reason -- but part of it is just that a teacher might not have as much time as a child needs/wants). I do agree th

I didn't think the old Sky sounded anything like her, but the sky they unveiled at the 4o event seemed super similar. While watching the event I was genuinely wondering "wait did they actually partner with Scarlett Johansson? That

Yes in that it doesn't appear to use a dependency graph to track recomputes; it recomputes everything on a cell change (according to another commenter anyways). But the UX effect is still the same in that the user never has to think ab

I think one major difference between spreadsheets and Jupyter notebooks is state/dependency graph. In a notebook, cells don't depend on each other. They can be run many times, and the order they're run in matters. This is one

I think everything you're saying is correct, but doesn't discredit what the post says. I think even books we don't necessarily resonate strongly with can have small, hidden impacts on our behaviour and thinking. They might gi

This would be such an interesting write up comparing many styling/layout systems! Unfortunately I reckon not many people have experience with multiple styling languages, so not many people can create such a write-up. I think flutter an

I love this approach! Most of the grocery stores in Canada (or are least Toronto) do this as well, expect it's usually a $1 coin.

1) this organisation was founded in 2013; they've been thinking and researching into this for a while, this wasn't a rash intervention. 2) they didn't block the river flow! 100% that would be very dangerous. The have a captur

It's donation driven. Not sure if you were implying this, but I wouldn't call that unsustainable. Wikipedia, Internet Archive, and many other nonprofits are donation driven and have been around for decades. Edit: I just watched th

Those percentages surprised me, so I did some research and it looks like the stat from their research is that 80% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is fishing industry plastics. Not all ocean plastic, which is what the 8-10mil refer to. Re

This isn't meant to be an industry; the founder, Boyan Slat, has said a few times that the goal of this organisation is to no longer be needed in the future, iirc. But at the same time: there's a lot of plastic in the ocean! It&#x

That's a potential risk, but I think working on both is ok. Organisations like the ocean conservancy deal with trying to change more upstream things like legislation. Even when we do fix the source of the problem we'll have A LOT

This organisation is more specifically focused on river/ocean plastic removal right now. The ocean conservancy is another organisation that, amongst a wide variety of ocean-related efforts, also deals with trying to improve legislation

I like the work they're doing, they seem well managed, the guy who founded the project, Boyan Slat, I follow on twitter and he seems very competent. I did some research into this and various other orgs when YouTube focused on Ocean cle
