My mom altered clothing when I was younger - and she darned socks too. My M-I-L still sews the occasional seam for pants that are too long and were cut for my wife or daughters. But me? I buy a pair of $30 jeans at Costco. If they don'

For a while in the 90s, a friend from Canada went to Germany and started building NA style houses (wood frame, drywall) in Germany. People loved that it could be finished in 3 months instead of 9-12 and cost 1/3 less, IIRC.

Are you saying Newton was aware of quantum entanglement? Because that's what the "spooky action at a distance" quote refers to.

null-key encryption is write-once, read-never, so you don't have to cache it.

In a former life I was part of a church choir (smallish church, ~140 members, everyone knew everyone). Same guy was running the orchestral band I had been a part of for a long time (trumpet, also had piano background), and they needed membe

Haptic steering wheel thumb-wheels instead of actual buttons? Hell no. Full pass. And we're in the market for a vehicle like this in the next year or so, looking hard at Santa Fe Calligraphy, or Outback XT (similar size, similar price

Can they fix that web page? That was so awful to try to get any info.. Just scroll, scroll, scroll and still just a bunch of big pictures and no meaningful info.

You can't keep pushing the AI hype train if you consider it just a new type of software / fancy statistical database.

Did you mean to use the word "mental"?

My daughter who is studying CS (unexpectedly) actually listens most of the time. Which is surprising. But then she tells me her classmates used AI to cheat on assignments so much that the prof had to change the weighting of the assignments

Tesla's also been involved in WAY more accidents than Waymo - and has tried to silence those people, claim FSD wasn't active, etc. What good is a huge fleet of Robotaxis if no one will trust them? I won't ever set foot in a R

Is that the official Tesla stat? I've heard of way more Tesla fatalities than that..

The point is - for a NEW project, no one has an extensive test suite. And if an extensive test suite exists, it's probably because the product that uses it also exists, already. If it could translate the C++ standard INTO an extensive

Are you really asking for "all the previous versions were implemented so poorly they couldn't even do this simple, basic LLM task"?

To avoid pesky facts getting in the way of them attempting to re-write history, like in 1984 (the book).

I had a lot of optimism as a teenager in the 80s. And maybe even more during Obama's presidency. Then 2016, 2020, 2024-2026 hit, and I'm at like -89% for optimism.

That's probably a zoning issue, though..

Mentioned this above - so happy we went with Eneloops. Our battery waste is nearly 0, and no leaking..

Hey, they're just as good for the environment as all that plastic that we can, "honestly, for sure, 100%, totally" recycle almost all of it. /s

It's gotten worse over the course of my life, IMHO. Costco's Kirkland batteries 15 years ago rarely leaked - now they do it in months sometimes. We had leakage a bit back when I was a kid (80s) but I honestly don't remember i

What about when they ramp up the cost 10x or 100x to what it's ACTUALLY costing them, because the "free money we're burning to fuck the planet" has dried up? Now you have software you can't afford to fix anymore.. O

Once we've solved social engineering scams, we can iterate 10x as hard and solve LLM prompt injection. /s It's like having 100 "naive/gullible people" who are good at some math/english but don't under

I'm not sure that "multi-compose" chrome bug is a windows-only thing though. I use chrome on Linux (slackware) with an nvidia card, and I get that issue all the time if I try to open more than one chrome WINDOW. Multiple tabs

I found chrome was putting itself into "eco mode" on my Lenovo (work) laptop all of a sudden. Meant that waking up took FOREVER, and accessing a web page (required as part of a daily login) took 15+ seconds to load when first logg

My dad was a machinist, apprenticed in Germany after WW2. Always somewhat overweight (5'9", 225 lbs during his "peak" years), but he could lift guys up by their belt with one arm, and pick up and move 200+ lb metal bille
