I don't have a problem with the 'two organs making one' framing. The fact that they are 'symbiotic' now doesn't change that. In fact it helps me understand two key facts. One can't grow out of the other,

That is not how I read the article you linked. It says the force is perpendicular to the long axis AND airflow. And later it says the force is perpendicular to the wind. So I am reasoning with a side wind 'on the beam' you get a

I think someone following the mantra I repeated, would say that you are thinking too much about the physical copy of the book and less about the book as a collection of words. Buy another

Well that is a real issue for me, since I much prefer second hand books! I am rarely the first to open them

I once read that the only way you can actually damage a book, is by not reading it.

I have sleep apnea. I have noted discussions online where people have used oura data to tune their cpap. I was wondering if anyone had used a smart watch for the same. I read that Garmin had worse sleep tracking, but more opinions would be

But if they tried to set a fair price they would have to report how much money they are losing on each token sold. This might be bad for the real business of ai firms, hoovering up as much capital as they can

How many of those 3000 engineers are working on the core engine? That is vs infrastructure, customer support, partner outreach etc? Then you have all the people working on localisation, not just changing the words, but local regulatory is

Thank you. When I add the next updates (maybe that i found one of the objects on my site is on a military firing range!) I should add a news blog and RSS. Thanks

Thanks. The problem was Google had not even crawled the other pages, so I don't think there was an LLM penalty! I'll look into the priority, thanks. The idea is for human research to slowly replace the LLM descriptions, hence a

Absolutely, and it wasn't a criticism. Just to point out there are other goals available!

Depends...I wanted this site to exist for my own benefit... I didn't expect to make money from it.

My incentive was merely to catalogue some historical things that were not catalogued elsewhere. Google, Wikipedia etc. LLMs knew only what was on Wikipedia. I don't mind that LLMs will find it....I used a bunch of agents to find sourc

Helping your users can be good for shareholders though, can't it?

Sitemap was submitted and search console says it is good on day one. Robots.txt is in place I think of RSS as more of a bloggers tool...am I thinking of this wrong.

I'm going to agree. I launched a website that is niche a few weeks ago, but totally unique. After a couple of weeks search console wakes up to tell me that they have indexed one page in 80. And that the top search term that is findi

A lot of articles in the British press about this at the moment, due to it having travelled to London.

If one licences open source under a strong copyleft licence (say AGPL3) presumably one can open up later and issue under weaker licences (say MIT) if one chooses? Presumably you can also sell access to it with a full commercial licence if o

Thank you for your correction. That has been a nice addition to my German geography. It looks like the people of Munich really enjoy their river in a way we can't enjoy ours in the UK, due to pollution.

Congratulations ISAR Edit: it should be Isar not ISAR This is a huge achievement and every person involved should be very proud. Please oblige me by not writing anything political in reply, let's just celebrate!

Agreed. My second buy in soldering would be a second cheap high wattage iron, (edit: 80-100w) for soldering to the back of pots, switches and plugs. But try it with your normal iron first and you will see why, rather than me just telling y

Why I currently use Netlify for my sites 1) Netlify forms. I get contact and update workflows for free 2) zero setup SSL, Webserver and CDN 3) It builds a preview link for Pull Requests. All super useful, and worth paying for. If I starte

Nostalgia! I don't remember them coming out, but I was involved in setting up Calibrite. I was more involved in the monitor calibrators (my team developed the new software) and the infrastructure.

I have also seen a separate deadman device installed on some trains, it beeps, you push a button or the train stops. I find it very strange that the example trains crashed at 21mph....was the deadman brake already slowing them down? Becaus

Like all practical skills, practice! Soldering new is easier than repair. Get some dirt cheap ali express electronic kits and solder them up. Or get a load of components and some strip boards. Lead solder is much easier to use. Basic antex

I like to think that they built Stonhenge purely to frustrate future generations. Imagining them debate endlessly about its purpose.

And you would make a circle of little rocks at the centre. Next year you would put bigger rocks there, then you needed bigger rocks than the place up the road, or you were not as cool. 1000 years of this oneupmanship = stonehenge?
