Typically true, but not necessarily. I saw one of those emerging technology videos that presented a vegan leather that was made out of mycelium - the thread-like stuff mushrooms and other fungi spread underground or throughout decomposing f

Healthline says "In other cases, nutmeg overdose has been linked to death when used in combination with other drugs." I take it to mean you may be more susceptible to death by nutmeg overdose if you are suffering an Irukandji stin

Right, but if you want to eat on that flight, you need it to pollinate flowers.

This is straight-up tinnitus. Ever since I had ear surgery, I have various types of tinnitus. When the low form started, it reminded me of an idling diesel engine. But of course I mainly get the kind that is easy to mistake for cicadas. Som

The article I read said he went into a panic, and intended to go into hiding because he knew he screwed up big time, and was about to be hauled off to jail.

Who needs free speech when the AI bots start trolling us all? I suppose I'm being facetious, but I really don't see why a conversational platform would even need an AI chat. And given Elon's paranoia about what AI can do, his

How would it make sense, given that most coding isn't used the day it is first written? The closest thing I can think of is Easter Eggs, but those tend to be anything but limited to April 1.

The same thing happens with Dimenhydrinate. There's a huge price difference between when it is used for motion sickness, antihistamine cold remedies, and sleep remedies. For literally no reason since they're all the same thing at

It's very good at that. Inspired by your song, I asked it to make a parody about Yngwie Malmsteen. It totally nailed the aimless guitar noodling.

Why climb a mountain, or fly to the moon? Because it's there. It's a great challenge that hasn't yet run out of new places it'll run. I can say that the first time I ever ran DOOM, I was blown away because I had no idea

It sounds like the opposite of the auto-tune and quantize functions in music recording. Loosening it up.

The main giveaway when AI is used is that people generally have a predictable pattern in their writing. It's not perfect. But when it is completely absent, it's obviously not human. I'm sure there is more to it than that, sin

Lots of email hosts are like that, btw. There was a time, when the Internet didn't look much like it does today - especially when UUCP reigned supreme - when nearly all email domains did not have associated IP addresses. Local ISP&#x27

This kind of phishing has been around for quite a while, in exactly the form you describe. I use a password manager, and change the passwords fairly often. So the first time I got one of these phishing attempts, I laughed and thought "

The irony here is that ChatGPT can operate as a fairly good copyrighter. But since it is detectable, there are now human copyrighter services like this one to humanize the output.

I'm far from rich, but periodically through the year I send a bit of sponsor money to projects and folks who are building things I use and enjoy. Most recently was to a person who builds the python libraries I use most. Another time we

I like the concept - this is pretty much what writing a DSL under Lisp entails. It would be fun to give it a Peril Perl (written in Peril Lisp of course), and so on. It could get really meta from there.

Also that looking through the manual at things you already (think you) know, you learn a lot. There was a time when all OS's did this. I had a DOS binder, from which I learned 80x86 Assembler from the Debug chapter. And since I grew up

Okay, so it is exactly what I thought it might be - essentially triggering MIDI events with a signal frequencies from a set of ECG sensors. It's been done with other arbitrary things such as fractals and scans of planetary images as th

Did I miss some example of what it sounds like? This is an audio device, and even the 15 minute video doesn't seem to present that vital piece of information. It's weird seeing all these animations that clearly relate to sound, bu

Back in the day, you could get Linux distros with printed manuals. And more importantly, stickers! RedHat is well known for printed manuals, but SuSE Linux also did this. I still have some of them on my book shelf. SuSE was shockingly inexp

In Canada (or maybe just Ontario... I'm not sure) the inconvenienced employee can sue for constructive dismissal. To do so, they actually have to stop going to work until they get paid, so I imagine it is a messy situation all around.

Because so much stuff on Wish dot com is fake, they also don't want you to send things back. They just ask for a picture and description of what you received instead of what you expected to receive, and then the money is returned to yo

They use CBT for anger management classes, so I think you are right about this. It doesn't stop you from lashing out. It gives you resources that might help you head off that process that usually results in you lashing out. It doesn&#x

Lots of good things to ask here. Add also when, what and how much to feed it. When do they get treats. Is there a permission word or action. I teach all my dogs to ignore food until the trigger/permission word is given, and one of my d
