My kids were considerably larger and smellier when they started eating solids, but still nothing crazy. Changing diapers is basically nothing, but having all the stuff that they need related to diapers and just being at the age when they ar

Nah, disagree, things were actively better in a few ways. The big tech companies now purposely diffuse and obfuscate the value proposition to increase engagement and show more ads. There are some ways in which things have improved and that&

Is it really fair to say that Muslim society is "doing just fine?" Like what amount of reasonable people from a moderately developed non-muslim country would ever want to live in a Muslim country? Are people that come to western n

Does this help you build a custom PCB that you would send to a factory or like just design and simulate something you could build on your own? Or both / neither? I'm not fully understanding what this project does, could you offer

He said half-decent and modest. If you are implying they are far more expensive then it's you that's out of touch. The average car on the road is 13 years old. A half decent one can certainly be had for $6000. A modest kitchen ren

That seems really paradoxical and I think it would just burn up compute. The AI really doesn't have any way to know it's getting better without humans telling. As soon as the AI begins to recursively improve based on its own defin

Are you implying 30 minutes away by car is a short / good thing? That's adding an hour to anything you want to do. Assuming you work 8 hours and sleep 8 hours that's taking like 15% of your free time just in getting somewher

An Apple car would be crazy expensive to develop and not really a guaranteed sell at all. There's millions of people that are very loyal to Apple of iPhone and wearable but going to an Apple car is a HUGE jump.

I always wanted an internal battery of like 1 minute, so I could hot swap batteries. Then the battery capacity would be largely irrelevant. What would be cool is to have a large case that could charge the battery multiple times like with ea
