I would think that if a pet causes a high amount of real damage, the landlord should still be able to seek remuneration for that damage. They just can't charge for it in advance.

I would love for someone to package up some kind of script or AI skill that evaluates your current terminal config/set-up and applies all of these tips and tricks. For instance, it might detect that you currently use ag, install ripgr

I could see this being fantastic for classification tasks. Last year I shifted from using LLMs for bulk data classification tasks (1M transcripts) to generating embeddings and categorizing based on cosine similarity. It saved a ton of cos

My take: If your app needs to update and preserve state (using SQLite or any other DB), it is probably not something you want to pass around as a bundled file. Or at least, it's extremely limiting, compared with hosting it somewhere on

I have a custom agent that I call my "G.S.D." (Get Stuff Done) agent. It is explicitly not a foreman, task routing, or an orchestrator agent. It has a bias toward direct action and is instructed to only delegate when necessary. I

I'm no lawyer, but I can't see how the judge is able to square this with a plain reading of the law. Here is the Virginia code on contributing to the delinquency of a minor: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode&#x2F

Present these two domain names to the average person: 1) benedict.cumberbatch.name 2) drstrange.co.uk I expect the average person would assume that for the domain 1, .name is the TLD, cumberbatch.name is registered by a private entity, and

I don't think those are comparable, because when you register a .co.uk domain, you are selecting one name that precedes .co.uk, similar to how you register one name that precedes .com. Whereas with .name, you are choosing what appears

I have a .science domain and a .com domain. Even though .science was launched in 2014 (more than a decade ago), I still consider it a non-standard TLD and still deal regularly with difficulties around its use. (For instance, you wouldn&#x2

Surely the author must have anticipated some heightened level of risk in pegging important parts of his personal and business life on a nonstandard TLD like this. It's a pretty bizarre exception to the normal, intuitive ways that domai

> We have plenty of space to put them – less than 0.01 percent of the US is used for landfill, less than 0.001 percent of Australia is, and only about 0.02 percent of Germany is. Not all space is equally viable. Landfills need to be clo

My kids grew up on Scratch and still occasionally play games there. It was a nice way to casually introduce them to programming concepts. My oldest is now 16 and an active member of Hack Club, so I'd say Scratch is one of the activitie

Right now, while staring at a blank wall, I visualized a red, 3D apple with a cartoonish worm emerging from it and then taking out a cleaver and chopping up the apple. It was similar in detail to what I'd see in a cartoon, but (like I

In my own personal experience -- which I presented immediately after the sentence you quoted -- I didn't originally understand how to visualize, and then later discovered more about how to actually visualize. So clearly it's not

I like this analogy. I have an internal voice, but "hearing" this voice is very different from hearing a voice spoken out loud and registered with my ears. Likewise, when I'm visualizing a pretzel, the way I am "seeing

I've known about aphantasia for a long time, but there is one question I keep coming back to: Is it a skill issue? When I was in second grade, our teacher asked us to close our eyes and imagine a pretzel. I closed my eyes and tried to

I don't think that's accurate. If I withdraw 4% of a $1M portfolio, I only have $960K left to compound. If I withdraw 4% of a $3M portfolio, I should have $2.88M left to compound. If the question is "Will your money last?&quo

I got 82.4% regardless of whether I started with a portfolio value of $1M or $3M. Something is wrong with the calculations/simulations. If I can't trust the Quick Check, why would I trust anything else on the site?

Several commenters point out that while suing the judge is not an option, appealing the judge's ruling remains an option. So just because a judge completely abdicates their responsibility to use their own judgment, the person now needs

Here in the U.S., the idea of taking even a few weeks off between jobs as a way to refresh oneself is a real luxury because of the way health insurance is tied to employment. I have wanted to do this each time I've left a job, but a la

This feels like GasBuddy, but for food. One of the reasons GasBuddy took off was that it wasn't just based on community reports; there was an incentive for gas stations themselves to accurately report their prices and keep them up to d
