Apparently SGE is Search Generative Experience. Also, this is missing Reddit Search.

Great article. It goes into the radio and the audio frequencies, and talks about equipment that can transmit the signal, from handheld radios to SDRs, and even covers how to build your own (with circuit diagrams). Much better than the artic

How much time does homeschooling take for you? Does it roughly equate to one full-time job? I have wanted to homeschool my kids but I am afraid I would have to quit my job or downshift to part-time. And since they are different ages, I wor

In Jan/Feb of 2020, I spent a lot of time "preparing" for the Coronavirus: - I built a pantry and stocked it with foods for storage. Beans and cheerios and powdered milk, etc. It turns out that in addition to these, I eat p

Doesn’t look like it’s changed much in 20+ years, though I did find this quaint snapshot from 1996 of a team of engineers I presume with the caption “See you in the Spring!”: https://web.archive.org/web/19961220045225&#

It’s funny how in the west, Shanzai can be perceived as deceitful - as in, you want me to believe these are “real” Nikes?! - whereas it’s meant as defiance against the artificially high prices brought about by marketing and consumerism.

In case anyone else went to verify, note that the first character in the floor (01101100) is lowercase “l”, not the uppercase “L” (01001100) which was actually transmitted.

The part I struggle with is, how do I let my kids program and be creative on the computer without being online when daddy can’t program without an internet connection? How will they develop “street smarts” about being on social media withou

For sure. With the T200, I usually get about 0.5 miles because they’re low power but a full 2-Watt radio like this should work: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-805f-mr.html Best way to find out is buy the gear and

Have you considered radios? I have a few Motorola Talkabout T200s and they work great for checking in when they’re riding their bike around the neighborhood. As a bonus, it gets them into radio. “Why can’t I hear you down the block?” “Mayb

I just enabled it after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04 last weekend. The 3-finger swipe gestures are nice. I think it crashed Online Accounts though. I put up with the inconvenience and file bug reports to help make the software better.

Spark is the single biggest use that comes to mind. Scala reminds me of Java trying to be Haskell. If you know either of those then you have a head start. Martin Odersky’s course Functions Programming in Scala: https://www.course

Problem is, Reddit can’t obscure its content from Google because it is a source of traffic and new users for them.

do you think 3rd party developers would be okay with this? in this scenario, the Reddit premium subscription fee would be a price floor and developers would have to charge a separate fee to use their app.

For the uninitiated, $2.52/month is what it would cost users to browse Reddit with Apollo under the current API pricing. RIF would be just $0.73/month[1]. For comparison, Reddit Premium is $5.99/month[2]. [1] https:/&#

Wow. I would have bet on the sponge-sister scenario all night long. Sponges have no neurons. This finding implies that either neurons were “lost” on the sponge lineage, or neurons evolved convergently in comb jellies and us (parahoxozoa). B

There's no reason to think this would have worked. To quote Jared Diamond, only 14 of 148 large herbivorous mammals have ever been domesticated because they need very specific traits to be domesticable - pleasant disposition being one
