It would be an interesting world if all our plastics started to rot. Water and sewerage piping is mostly plastic, there's heavy uses of plastics in electrical infrastructure, the majority of our containers, many car parts, the bulk of

And maybe some ChatGPT readers so we have an audience that can read at scale.

Its really a sound wave pulsing through the grey mush of each brain, so some measure of stress (force/area) or strain (differential displacement/area) might be the beast way to look at it. The damage might be done in shear where t

It's probably a great time to shift to a 60/40 portfolio. Rates were too low over the last decade for bonds to provide that offset. That's changed now.

As an actual Irish person I have to say that I don't know anyone that thinks the celebrations in the states are disrepectful. We don't take ourselves as seriously as Americans do, so we can have fun with a bit of parody and mocker

I go out and get pretty drunk on the weekend probably once every 4 to 6 weeks. It's a great way to meet my friends to swap stories and have fun, so I really enjoy it. I've been doing it for a the last 15 years, and I will keep doi

That doesn't really make sense because most big accounts tweet about a range of topics. There's pretty well established ways for estimating the probability based on how the range of topics you might tweet about would match with th

If you travel at all for work, you find that some cities have a second airport miles outside the city, or there are lots of cities with two names. The airport codes for different cities then start to become synonyms for the cities because t

It's far more likely that openai have just been building hype by showing off the earlier models, and now they're shutting things down so they can monetize their IP.

The GPT models create sequences of words that are likely to be look correct. A side effect is that it sometimes happens to find a connection between ideas. The three unforgivable curses are something that it should be able to connect, as th

It's like saying that software built using an open source languages and libraries was built for free.

There's lots of legitimate email traffic that would find itself stuck in here. I could see business questions being answered and those answers actioned on. Or legitimate sales prospecting resulting in actual orders being placed. If you

Giving drivers a sense of control that doesn't match up with how the vehicle performs in braking looks like a pretty big design flaw to me.

There's arbitrary rules, and there's common sense. Managers hate hiring. When they're creating job descriptions, looking at resumes, and setting up and conducting interviews, deep down they just want to do it once and have th

I think the law would look at many questions like these by asking "what would the normal person think incognito mode was". Most people can't even write an excel formula. Not only do they not know this mode wasn't private

Obsidian lets you paste images. The notes are markdown stored in regular text files, and if you want to use HTML or whatever you can go to town.

That's definitely an exponential distribution. I'm a data scientist and I keep going back to a few key notes over and over and adding little bits. I tried to track things like ideas, tasks, and just journaling, but it just didn&#x

I watch those old shows. Sometimes you just want to watch tv and it doesn't really matter what's on as long as it's decent quality. Seinfeld, Friends, Fraser, I'd watch them every few years. In some ways it's better

If the common experience of the metaverse is using Windows and Xbox, with these also running on other VR platforms, it'll take a big misstep by Microsoft to stop them becoming dominant in VR.

I lived through this a decade ago. What I saw was that the people who couldn't afford the price before the meltdown were the ones most affected by pay cuts and job losses.

I'm sure there's some specialty version out there, but coffee made in a regular espresso machine doesn't count as "filtered" either does it?

Percolators and French presses make excellent coffee too. Both are barely bigger than a cup and cost maybe $10. To me, it looks like people get those espresso machines so they can roleplay working in a coffee shop. I guess people get their

More like step out. The biggest issue with housing today is lack of supply, and the biggest cause of that is the restriction on development imposed by planning regulation. It shouldn't be a 20 minute walk from a detached house to downt

Ya, those people _are_ the government. They would love to be able to fob all their problems off on some faceless beaurocracy (like the UK government did with the EU for years), but the buck stops with them. We should be challenging our lead

It's just a hang out spot for beaurocratically-minded, listless Harvard grads at this point.

Gladwell's english was very approachable, so outliers was an easy and enjoyable book to read. I even believed it the first time I read it. Once I read his later stuff though, I noticed a couple of things that didn't quite add up f

I think when people forget that the crisis in 07/08 wasn't just a dip in property values. The entire financial system had managed to get itself propped up on extreme leverage against the single bet that mortgages would almost neve

That's exactly it. Instead of tasks going "1, 2, 3" in my head, it was more like "1,...,1,...,1". I had to keep reloading every task into my working memory, with lots of brief pauses to think "did that click re
