This is how the united states fails - our education institutions fail to hold the bar and let the pillars of real education turn to sand. Admittedly, initially in college I was a horrible student. But I got better, admittedly after re-ta

I don't personally, but society (even liberal society) still has structural reasons to disincentivize this kind of behavior. Even as someone who doesn't think the government should tell you how to live, you can't pretend to b

You have a point haha - but I had some portraits taken last year and after the fact I had to say "I looked like a fucking beluga whale" hahaha

After living in Amsterdam for about a year I can definitely say leasing bikes makes far more sense than owning. Less hassle, less worry regarding maintenance and in certain cases far less worry about your bike being stolen or having to dea

Anecdotally I've had this happen with both of my old iPhone 3G's and an iPhone 4. Fortunately, I managed to rummage through the junk drawer in my home to find these before anything bad happened. Tbh, I'm surprised keeping Li-

Curiously, as I've gotten older I've found that "weird" looking people who are also confident enough to some degree are almost always far more interesting in terms of personal pursuits / interests than "pretty&

I'm in my late twenties but look about four years younger, I'm in good shape but I'm also bald and have supposedly a "weird" face. I'm sure if I was forced to go back to an in-office environment I'd encou

Low latency optane ssd's are incredible for so many reasons - really hope those don't become discontinued as well :( Many here seem to miss how deeply complex SSD's are and how truly different optane is from most consumer and

Does anyone have good resources for creating "generative assets" like this? I have a decent handle on js but I have no idea where to start in terms of tooling. For now, I've been trying to build basic eye tracking to apply a

The Starbucks loyalty program has tangible benefits and exhibits access to a physical product. Dall-e can produce art in minutes, a skilled artist takes hours to use 3d modeling tools, photoshop etc. To most people, 3d art made by Dall-e i

Look at drunk driving rates in Phoenix AZ - a zero tolerance city. It's substantially lower than many other metros. Again, cops who coerce people to admit to being drunk are a separate issue and should be dealt with. As an adult drink

I'm fully of the opinion that murder should merit a life sentence and that any form of aggravated assault committed with a deadly weapon (firearm or otherwise) should carry at least a 10yr sentence. When the punishment is sufficiently

I've been looking for tools that make it possible to overlay graphics onto someone's face in real-time. Basically facebook's AR suite but something I can a) use at 1080p and b) actually record from or pipe into OBS.

I think we're entering the "kick the dead rotting horse" stage of the NFT "game". Granted, I work in web3 and I think using NFT's as permissioning / ownership infra is cool - a lot of front end component l

I really should floss more, but then again after seeing what happens to the body and mind after age 88 or so - not sure I really want to live that long anyways. Hopefully the government doesn't continue to restrict our right to live a

Yeah, many people don't realize that the importance of climate control is more so for moisture than temperature. Although winter is "dry" it's wild how much ambient moisture humans emit - anyone who's grown any kin

It's still beyond me why we don't just make the penalty for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol 5yrs in prison? Of course, shitty cops will occasionally coerce someone into a questionable blood test or breathalizer tes

So basically a pluggable HSM? Curious if this should be considered more similar to the Yubi HSM 2 [0] (think dedicated HSM, not very useful for anything else but very secure) or the USB Armory [1], very adaptive small arm SBC with a USB por

I think the better move for most of these folks is to wring as much cash as they can out of their current gig at Shopify and trade up to a new gig with a fresh stock grant at basically any other company. Joining G / Meta right now giv

I find this relatable as someone who's somewhat introverted, but socially capable. For years, I denied that I had any form of social anxiety - but even in my late twenties when for better or for worse (maybe I'm letting myself go

Guess I might as well RMA my 3090 FTW 3 before the gig is up. Very sad to see this announcement, some of my happiest nerd years (not spend blowing stuff up with friends in my backyard) in highschool were building PC's trading up EVGA G

Mostly private IP still but this is bound to come out at some point. There are some folks on Fiverr who've definitely technically figured out some kind of solution.

Well now I want a Framework laptop - granted, what I'd use this for is uploading media to youtube etc, and for now free options just aren't as good as Final Cut Pro or Premiere so I'll be sticking to my usb-c to 2.5G adapter

Any way to track your progress of your book / pre-order to support your work? Even with a maths and engineering background it's hard to keep up / know where I need to read to understand what's going on at a macro level
