Have you ever thought about how alien lifeforms would probably invent screw cutting lathes too? The screw feels like such a "human thing", but what else would serve the rotational wedging purpose in this universe's elements a

This 2D map is hard to explore since it's so sparse. I have to follow lines to find each thing, since it's 99% empty void. Is there a snap to next item hotkey? Am I just doing it wrong?

Why choose the word "inflation" to mean the opposite of compression? If you said it to a stranger, they'd assume you mean the price of LLMs is going up due to scarcity. I would call this LLM fluffing or LLM decompression

They didn't even let my try it, after signing in. I hit the "insufficient credits" paywall on my first upload. So, having folks sign in served no purpose at all. Just an extra layer of customer-repellant.

On first try: "Insufficient credits. Please purchase more credits to continue." Flagged for not gratifying my intellectual curiosity.

Maybe the cable is missing the CC pin resistors (all USB-A to C cables are supposed to have them to identify themselves as such), and maybe only the phone cares.

USB-PD hubs are very annoying. Devices with no battery on a hub (Raspberry Pi etc) will just get hard rebooted if anything else gets plugged into the same hub. I looked at a lot of hubs and they all behaved this way. They all cut power to e

Because the USB Consortium made a terrible mistake. Instead of speccing USB-PD power supplies to default to 5V <3A when there are no resistors in the port of the other device, the default is do nothing. So in order to be in spec, you hav

You're right - AGI would be unfathomable, it would be more productive than a quadrillion earths entirely populated by MIT valedictorians who just drank 2 espressos each. "Multi-billion dollar" would be a silly valuation.

That's interesting, it's almost identical to the xDrip+ android app that has been doing all those things for ~10 years. I wonder why they started from scratch instead of just forking the more popular open source app. Maybe it is a
