Just a quick thing I discovered for people experiencing this when they are in a stall. Plug your ears. I don’t know exactly why it works but for me it’s magical in its ability to get things moving. If you have stage fright while at the urin

SLS created a mission context in which Starship could become economically viable much sooner than it would have on its own.

Think of what it represents in the long term vs what it represents in the instance. The Saturn V operated the same way.

TL;DR - poop is alive! Maybe it's because I've gone through various hobbies related to fermentation but trapped gas seems like the most obvious and likely answer. Especially when you see bubbles around floaters. It's also v

I've been part of a number of recruiting exercises to hire 20-100 SWEs at different levels. DE&I is front and center, both implicitly through corporate culture and explicitly through reminders, comments, etc in the process. It ve

I don't know why but this made me wonder if you could train a model on eye tracking data from videos then use that to predict what people would look at with new content.

This used to be the other way around. I worked for a laptop company (Winbook!) in the 90s and Windows 3.x and IIRC even (early) Windows 95 were largely oblivious to power management features. These laptops had no fan and the bottom of th

Also the model is trained on faces, not backgrounds. Pretty soon we’re going to see entire 3D scenes generated and rendered photorealistically through a camera model.

You can do something similar with images, pull them into a data string then fuck with a random bit in a character in the list using JavaScript. The interesting thing is how different image formats handle corruption. I find PNG the most lyce

Thank you. We visited Cleveland Clinic as well and received very similar results. I briefly thought about starting a class for cancer patients to help them navigate the medical system in the US. I had to try to learn to fly from the front

Took my wife to MSK for a second opinion on the treatment plan for her ovarian cancer. They were beyond useless. They wouldn’t say or recommend anything until the current treatment plan (eg round of chemo or surgery) was complete, yet it

Your take asserts that words are essentially static in their meaning regardless of usage. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guy It's exactly like the evolution of the term 'bitch'. Its origins

Depends heavily on where you’re from. My aunts refer to each other as guys all the time. It’s equivalent to ‘folks’ in the way they use it.

I think those are great but would suggest not walking on it while you're on camera in a video conference. Recently worked with a guy that did that and it was remarkably annoying.

Andrej Karpathy was recently on Lex Fridman's podcast and covered this to some extent. He has the same perspective on this topic and expanded on it quite a bit. Great listen overall IMHO - https://www.youtube.com/watc

This was a separate company originally. In this case the RF protocol is completely different (~140MHz vs 12+GHz) as well so you'd have to add hardware to the StarLink satellite to support this (which obv. could be done moving forward)

Looks like they have a SaaS product called Hive to poll/push data from devices to your application. I don't see any indication of point to point message passing capability but it may exist.

Given the low cost and power requirements of LoRa this could be fantastic wildlife and natural habitat monitoring. Could act as a backup emergency contact mechanism for folks that spend a lot of time away from civilization. Hopefully some

If config can go this long with half-assed implementation I don’t see why control tower is going to fare better with more adoption. Most large enterprises are going to want to roll their own anyway.

The metro/urban bias on HN is rarely more prevalent than when the subject is cars or Internet access. I live on a wooded lot in a reasonably developed area in Ohio. DSL was brought out to my address in ~2004. Today it is limited to 1
