How do we know its body temperature was 97 degrees, and simply not the environment was 97 degrees?

Definitely. The whole Unix philosophy of each command doing one thing and being easily composable always seemed to break down in my mind when it came to find. find does a lot. similar to ripgrep, though, fd is a modern replacement that’s a

I have a Pebble Index, it’s my first “smart” ring and first ring at all. All of these problems are things I didn’t anticipate either.

honestly, a manila envelope and some elmer’s glue is a lot easier than i expected going in.

How about the “deal” with Venezuela? When will that impact anything, if ever?

agree that it’s a weird choice, but more because i don’t need my chat model to play chess at all when chess engines exist.

someone posted high speed videos a few months ago where the keyboard will popup the key you thought you pressed (therefore did press, as far as the UI is concerned) but iOS will insert a different character anyway.

having used it for a bit, yes, one of the first things it asked me for, unprompted, were things to set it up to buy stuff. i declined but it still consistently wants to spend money; research a trip? as soon as it has any results it prompts

Kagi used to serve gemma4 31b on cerebras, and i got so used to the speed that i basically stopped using other models. now that they no longer offer it, i find myself reaching for a model a lot less

i’m convinced the real reason people do this is because they don’t want anyone to see what apps they were using.

the headline makes it sound like failing to boost the orbit means it will crash into Earth, but from the article it seems like the only risk is the loss of a useful satellite

i’m not sure i’ll ever delete my google accounts, but my goal was to stop using them. if someday an email comes in, it’ll still get auto forwarded, and if i need to login, i’ll have access to it.

between the cost, lack of interesting new features, and often addition of features i do not want, it’s starting to seem like i may never get a new phone, and i’m ok with that

I know it’s not exactly a bike lane, but if I took a camera on just one trip down a San Francisco “slow street” I could probably report a dozen violations on any day.

i’ll take a stab: the enormously rich people rushing to build AI and replace everyone’s job will get richer, while everyone else suffers. that’s why.

pretty much everything is “1 or more versions behind” by the time it comes out. the question is whether or not it’s still useful? at some point, presumably not every application will need the latest cutting edge huge model.

I’ve been using Gemma as my default (via Kagi) because it’s served on Cerebas hardware. The speed is honestly a game changer for day to day queries.

What a bizarre example of a more direct answer. Any human would simply say “No, it doesn’t rain here in summer.” Even after identifying the 0% chance of rain, it still drags the conversation on and on and on

the Iranian people are probably worse off, and yeah the former supreme leader and many of his lieutenants are dead, but it’s really hard not to think that Iran won this war

I’m on google’s list of special people who qualify for an interview whenever I’m ready, no screen required. I think most “big tech” employees are. I get an email every 6 months or so from a new recruiter letting me know they took over from
