The troubling details are probably the racist things found on all the forums. Do you want your LLM to reflect that? I suspect Google overcompensated.

This is a perceived risk only because of the status quo. You're almost arguing for a national or at least statewide zoning policy. This would make the "risk" uniform. I am now in France and this seems to be the case everywher

Speaking of which, any good videos on how we balance ourselves when standing? And beyond the muscle mechanics, do we understand what the brain is doing? For example, I find it fascinating that I cannot balance myself on one foot if I close

True, but for something like this, would it work with a magnet?

This is cool. Is this how robots normally balance themselves, or are there implementations that don't require spinning wheels?

This is a good point: "The fact that European and American manufacturers have concentrated on the premium market of early adopters has left them vulnerable. Chinese manufacturers like MG haven’t been so reluctant to address affordabili

Did you check the hysteresis value? I've had similar issues with some radiators, and the hysteresis was set to 0 (don't know why it's even allowed), which caused it to run a lot more than normal.

Now that I've been acquired by a cat, I've learned to sit quietly for longer periods. She has endless patience if she's not disturbed.

That sounds to me like you haven't worked in a place that does OKRs right. The overriding thought should be "They are more like guidelines, anyway". Where I worked it was common for every single OKR to have a low completion s

Yes, I don't know why I was surprised about make-up in particular. I guess it shows my biases.

Using the verb "prefer" is questionable editorialising. One could argue that the brain prefers the easy thing, ie typing. The title of the study is "Handwriting but not typewriting leads to widespread brain connectivity"

If you want to do big things, there is something else: borrow one or more smart persons. I was once part of an infrastructure project that I (and others on it) simply didn't know how to advance. At some point a few really smart folks g

That's what I would buy yes. Sadly, "expensive" in the world of fridges is not 2-3k, but 8-10k. That's what you need to pay for long-term quality (to be sure, they still break, but in less dramatic ways).
