Easy way to cook is to slice in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds (I broadcast these later in the "back 40" to grow more no effort squash). Place a half cut side down on a dinner plate and microwave for 12 minutes on high. T

It seems more likely that rumors of aliens is obfuscation of the military by the military to avoid rumors about secret programs. Non-human biologics are easy to fake and photograph and might pass if no close or detailed examination is made.

What is the benefit of having a huge grid vs spending the same money on many local renewable power plants with smaller local grids? I get that if the wind or sun is generating power in one part but not another but that can be overcome by ha

Some areas don't depend much or at all on language such as games and puzzles e.g. Rubik's Cube from Hungary. However creating a viral game is hard. Some niches are easier and less demanding such as daily puzzles for seniors or bed

It might be more valuable to have AI read news articles and decide which are factual and important or apply whatever filter the user defines. Automated HN but with much broader input.

But this ignores taxes. Also most renters don't save and invest they consume whatever they have left each month sometimes more. Owning a house with a mortgage forces you to save. Given real estate price trends over history throughout t

Amazing is the word that comes to mind looking at all these many drawings. Many seem to show the decisive moment in a fight between a warrior and his or her foes. In an age without film or video these would have been as close to the action

For most sudoku puzzles solving each cell is a logic puzzle that can be expressed in words just as current solvers have it in code. It can try to solve each vacant cell in turn using each of its rules until it finds a solution for that cell

At the time there wasn't really a good search engine, Yahoo's hierarchy of interesting sites was just starting. No Slashdot and no Google to find it to see how to do things or fix particular problems. Not much OSS to take as an ex

Like startups where people will get paid with stock that may go big, acting and to some extent writing gives you a chance to become a star. But I think this is more about the median performers and whether they get paid fairly and get a shar

I paid 11% fixed on my first house in 1976 and rates went much higher into a peak around 1980 and I thought my rate was a steal. If rates go down you can always refinance but if rates go up a fixed rate is a huge advantage. Most of the time

Interesting that electricity has been useful in bringing about things Voltaire championed such as freedom of speech, and abolition of (slave) labor. However I think you meant Volta the inventor of the battery. Also QC seems to suffer from t

Best way to check LLM output is to make it write its own tests and do TDD. Obviously someone has to check the tests but that is a 1% of the effort problem.

Occurs to me as a retired 69 year old former coder that AI makes us old geezers and geezesses somewhat competitive again with our younger colleagues. Need to learn yet another new framework? Let AI do the nitty gritty bit. Capitalize on you

Exactly - they look like they are itching themselves on the point of the rudder. Maybe there is some infection near their blowhole that they are trying to scratch. Take some bio samples from the rudders for analysis.
