Given your statement of "hundreds of feet" I guess I can take the rest of your post with a large pinch of salt, too.

M80s were more like 1/8th of a stick, I think. My uncle bought quarter sticks of dynamite one time. Wow. Quite a bit bigger and louder than an M80, and M80s were LOUD! My dad's cousin blew off most of his thumb and parts of severa

I'm not sure if being homemade was the reason, but I just heard about a medflight for somebody hit by a homemade firework. I say this as somebody with a book on how to make them, but I've always been a bit too scared to try.

The existence of IDs indicates that people are not intended to be untrackable, whether on or offline. This is a fair trade off, because… By your logic, there can be no argument against universal web tracking, let alone universal purchase tr

I mean, what’s the problem with taking such stickers off? I’d love if it we had fewer retarded warnings. And I fail to see how they have anything to do with enforcing consumer protections.

Which is completely the opposite—running Apple software on non-Apple hardware—so they make no money whatsoever off such users.

More renewables means the need for more base load? This is the first I’ve seen anybody say that.

I found the shift in what foods companies are making to be the most interesting part of the article. Adding protein to foods, but somehow decreasing meat consumption. Seems odd.

By demonstrating an assumption that everybody knows nothing? I fail to see how that is beneficial. It is rude to everybody .

Reread what I wrote. The point is it is more rude to assume somebody is ignorant than it is to assume they are knowledgeable. This is telling people to assume people are ignorant or at least pretend you think they are ignorant.

Is being surprised somebody doesn't know something putting them down, or is being unsurprised they are ignorant putting them down?

by jtbayly 4mo ago
People doing that are doing it intentionally, and they aren't going to follow your rule. People who are open to listening are not pretending to be surprised in order to put somebody down. They are actually surprised and (perhaps) unint

Either way, that’s not feigning surprise. Odd to call it that. What they are saying is when you are surprised somebody didn’t know something, don’t let it show. So “feign unsurprise.”

A "perfect shuffle" according to the article: >The riffle shuffle has to follow a realistic but strict model where cards are randomly interleaved from the left or right pile one by one. (Each card gets dropped from either the l

Because they have held off on adding these companies to the list in order to avoid increasing tensions with China? ETA from the first paragraph of the article: "The U.S. has held off... to avoid escalating tensions with Beijing."

Which is not what is being discussed. Often rewriting code to make it more understandable makes everybody more productive.

A lot of "plagiarism" is not plagiarism. Feed stuff you wrote into those tools and it will call you a plagiarist every day because you wrote something similar to the person you learned it from. I don't know about this case, b

I saw that one wealthy individual had purchased $1 billion of SpaceX at the IPO. Does that count as a retail investor?

I don’t think so. I’d want more than just your word on it.

This is a place where I could see Apple actually investing serious money in AI research to sell devices.

Both GDP and living standards are discussed in the article. The NHS is addressed near the beginning as proof of the deteriorating condition of living standards. 1/10th of the population are on a waiting list for care. 1/10th have

There is a footnote in the article does the math. It concludes, "power is no more than about 1% of revenue."

I could see actually using this…

No problem. We can have AI do it. And the side benefit is that we could summarily execute one every once in a while for failing to write secure code.

Doubting if a random quote is correct is understandable given how often the training data has explanations that random quotes from famous people aren’t real. But it isn’t intelligent to proclaim that when you have the internet as a resource

I don’t get it. It sounds like you are claiming the article image is not AI slop, but rather an old print. But then you link to something that isn’t even remotely like the article image.
