The Sk8 Hi, or whatever it is, is the only pair of shoes I wear aside from some rain boots. They show little sign of wear after two years. I’ve also had an interesting and and slightly uncomfortable interaction with a homeless person saying

Crocs are not utilitarian (no structure or support for physical activity) and they aren’t appropriate in the wider spectrum a nice pair of shoes are. I settled on some classic Vans after a deep internet dive signaled that they’re the most p

Free and immediate. You answered your own question. All things equal, people are happy to support local businesses. The value prop here is far from equal.

The color spectrum I’m talking about is just temperature, not really RGB. I like the warm parts of the spectrum more than incandescents, which is really my whole point.

As I mentioned in some other comments, I settled on a lamp with a fully adjustable color and brightness. It’s lots of diodes, and the net effect is very nice. In other words, I’m agreeing with your article that the fixed bulbs typically don

Well OK, I was more speaking in the context of a reading lamp. And I wanted more to point out that an LED lamp with smooth color and brightness spectrums allows for you to find a better sweet spot for comfortably reading at night.

I settled on an adjustable-temperature/brightness standing lamp. I don’t know the model, sorry. Being able to change the color/brightness on a spectrum is very nice. Planning to buy some e26 bulbs that connect to Apple’s home auto

I’m more familiar with the advancements in CRI in recent years than dUV (this is the first I’be heard of that) but LEDs can now be purchased with equivalent CRI. The context of this discussion is incandescent color/perception/expe

Just use an LED that produces the same color. They 100% exist. I agree that incandescent is better than cold LED. A little shopping and consumer research will 100% find you exactly the LED you want.

Regarding your criticism of Copilot: I think the productivity-related outcome of the results varies from person to person. The exact results you mention help me in a way that I acknowledge is somewhat irrational. The mental load of verifyin

It learns over time and shows statistically significant improvement. It’s still pretty terrible, but to answer your question: yes it’s not random.

But what do you mean “fast”? If your problem ends up on the steep side of the exponential curve, it’s going to take a while to solve. I had a lot of fun making my own CDCL solver in Rust, and I’ve really enjoyed messing with Z3 for some the

Contemplating my navel, I propose that it didn’t happen because the purpose of an editor and browser are so different. (Realistically the driving factor is that an editor is much more useful for making money.)

Not in comparison. That was my point, actually, that the logistics situation for lettuce is much different. It’s mostly in the time value, but the ratio of value to weight/volume is also much lower (which is going to result in logistic

Just pointing out that the lettuce costs what it does because of logistics. It’s fresh where you expect it to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cost of growing the lettuce is less than 5% of the cost. My dad used to comment often on how it

I agree that the negative effects on pseudo-anonymous internet communication (even blog posts, news, etc.) are going to be drastic. That’s not necessarily a bad thing for the net human experience (it may be, only time will tell). It strikes

Your negative takeaway is entirely based on perspective. Nothing you mentioned is necessarily negative. Take your mention of email for example. Sure, it’s introduced some new annoyances. Its net effect of providing an instant long-form asyn

You’re clear in your use of a singularity definition. I’ve always taken the (I think more popular?) stance that the singularity is better defined by AGI surpassing average or best human intelligence. This definition is still far off. The

It’s analogous to the idea that there are no original thoughts (which is quickly obviously false). To the parent’s question: on some kind of margin I think it would lead to more derivative work, but the net effect would still be novel creat
