It’s not ok to let your five year old play with a soccer ball on a busy neighborhood street unsupervised. It’s good to let your thirteen year old play in the neighborhood with their friends. But what about everything in between? At what age

Special tuning today, custom silicon tomorrow. Maybe this is the MVP of handheld PC gaming.

Not to mention the unrecognized genius trope. In more familiar terms, the “I could do that in a weekend” guy ( https://blog.codinghorror.com/code-its-trivial/amp/ )

It's suddenly not ridiculous at all if you map PM to general contractor and SWE to tradespeople.

Yeah, it’s not new, it just could accelerate homogenization, as with how social media is (claimed) to be homogenizing culture. Planes, cars, and ships started it, but the internet (allegedly) turbocharges it.

If it improves at a faster rate than humanity, it pulls ahead even if the absolute speed is slow. That's what people are really more worried about, not instant omniscience.

Whittling out chaff does help you get a better view of the average quality, and there’s no point reading 400 resumes if 200 of them are basically resume spam.

That’s an extremely interesting (and concerning) point. If one human doesn’t like your resume, another somewhere else might. But if a widely used AI resume screen doesn’t like it, you won’t get hired anywhere . This can happen today, but i

Time doesn't scale. If you have eight kids and a full time job out of the home, it will be incredibly difficult to deeply get to know, support, etc them as individuals. A common observation is that in families with that many kids, the

Wow, that's nearly 70kWh/day for the entire winter. Most units are only 4-8kW, which suggests your system is running 50-100% of the entire winter. Using these numbers and an average COP of 2.5 (guess) you're at about 6 therms

Who is your utility? It really shouldn’t be 2-3x much more expensive to operate, but could depend on your rates. Colorado is actually a relatively heat pump friendly climate; it can reach incredibly low temperatures some winter nights, but

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain–body_mass_ratio It's interesting to note our peers in this regard. Mice have a two-piece pelvis, and dolphins have no pelvis at all.

You can simply add backup resistive heat to cover the occasional 4AM drop to -15F. It’s more expensive to operate, but as long as this is rare it doesn’t significantly change your bill.

Our heads are big to fit our brain. Our pelvis is shaped and structured for upright gait, and so not big. The struggle is indirectly due to the traits that drive or success.

They seem to have this unusual ability to get consumers to suddenly demand what used to be too expensive.

It doesn't even take terrifying drivers; really, it's all cars. It wasn't until I got to know some four year olds that I realized how little regard they have for cars. Squirrels have more respect for the hazard of moving au

Third party, perhaps. You sign up for service A. Service A queries service B, which knows who you are and provides a one-time ack of your age.

I have no inside information, but gate-all-around and backside power are both pretty big developments. If you remember the rise of finfet, gate-all-around will probably be a similar step up (maybe slightly smaller). My guess is backside pow

In different terms, think about when you go shopping. Do you take only the prettiest apples? Personally, I will take about any apple that doesn't have soft spots, damage, or mold. (Before you argue damage is cosmetic, a significant bre

It's easy to decide it's malicious, but after replacing a lost card that was on file for what must have been fifty different payments, I would rather they did. Even incurred some chargeback fees in the process because I forgot to

Why is this debate being simplified to "single-stair vs double-stair"? I am not seeing anyone even attempt to pitch a return to single-stair plus fire-escape, which seems odd.

It also puts a very different perspective on 1) why you always read in history books " so and so's third wife " and 2) the obsession with things like "child-bearing hips". Starting a family was downright hazardous;

They slept with their heart monitors on. And they set an alarm to sound if their heart rates dropped below a certain level. On hearing the alarm, you then got up out of bed, got onto your bike [...] and pedalled for ten minutes to re-start

You have to (attempt to) quantify those productivity increases. There are an unlimited number of nice things government could spend on, but limited budget. It happens that fiber passed muster. Other things don’t. (The productivity value of

You’re basically arguing for land value tax. I don’t spend much time worrying about LVT because it isn’t widely used in the USA. StrongTowns likes to talk about it: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2019/3/8

Some small towns have started building fiber to every home that want it, as a public utility. It has confirmed cost is the only question that voters care about. In one example it cost something like $200M for a population of 150,000. That’s
