Less of the lachrymator gets in your eyes if there's glasses in the way. A sharp knife also produces less lachrymator. If you keep your knives sharpener than your parents did, that'll do it

I don't think the surface is porous so much as you didn't clean the pan and left capsaicin behind in it. You could try this with other materials - can you eliminate all the spice from stainless or glass without using soap as a sur

I don't buy it either. I've had tons of chile beers and they are typically spicy. I once made a habanero stout and that thing was undrinkably spicy for years.

Dave Arnold has also done it with a rotovap, specifically with habanero. Because he wanted all the bright flavors of habanero, without the heat.

The "smartest person in the world" tag is a marketing push. It works with her name. It wouldn't work as well if she was named Marilyn Smith.

Yeah, I think 2016 with Bernie employing one populism and Trump another one tells this story well. They're more different than similar, to be clear but their pitches had similar shapes. There's an elite, they cause all the policie

Society should have celebrations. It's good for social cohesion that people do things together and have shared interests and activities. One of the consequences of celebrations is hangovers. We should make it easy for people to have c

If the trucks are otherwise identical the thing you should be most worried about is insiders. The cash being more fungible means you maybe should pay the cash drivers more, so they're never tempted to skim off the top or sell details t

My big stupid idea for American politics is for a president to promise that each budget they sign will add a new holiday. Make Congress come up with one, agree on it. I think super bowl Monday, election day, and a doubled memorial day are t

I tend to think the addition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday a few years ago improved American life just a little bit, and adding more would do the same. The day after the Super Bowl is a natural one to add.

I saw it posted on Twitter some time last year. If LLMs are to be useful they should be capable of answering novel questions. This is only a trick question for an LLM. 2 of the 7 sentences plainly state the answer.

That's what I like about this problem (and similar Dumb variants of classic brain teasers). It exposes that there's not understanding, there's just a statistically weighted answer space. A question that looks a lot like a kno

My understanding is that gpt4 is better at this than 3.5 and it seems to get it pretty reliably. One thing that's interesting to do is to imply the answer is incorrect and see if you can get it to change its answer. If you let it stop

This is basically just fortnite. When they wanted to make a racing game, they did it in fortnite. When they wanted a rhythm game, they did it in fortnite. Fortnite is a game browser and engine, not a set of mechanics. Also if the intention

I find that children rarely have much range, but they can be cast inline with their natural inclinations or personality. There's a number of tv shows where the kid actors get worse over time, as they're asked to do more kinds of s

I've been on for a few months now. It feels like 2014 Twitter in that it doesn't have gifs or video, so you will see some very good jokes. A number of people I used to follow on Twitter are over there but seem to have broken out o
