I can't take this article seriously: 1. Uncanny slop "photo" of people installing panels, not even labeled as generated. There is zero excuse for this. 2. No links to sources. Either they are lazy or just making things up. 3.

What jurisdiction extends where depends entirely on the agreements some diplomats must have worked out. When I travel between France and England for example the paper checks are at the point of departure and there are no more checks on arri

The author has a serious case of notgettingtothepointitis with exhaustingattituditis as a comorbidity. After n paragraphs of them not even saying what they think the point of going to the gym is, I stopped reading.

You propose that the sun is above the horizon and that the bright light on the horizon is a reflection of sunlight. That seems off to me: With the sun in the sky, why would its reflection have the strongest diffraction spikes? Why would the

It doesn't take very special cameras to capture a new moon. I have many pictures that look like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Lu... For a photo like this I use

The parts of the moon in direct sunlight are blown out too. Where we see the terrain's texture, it's illuminated from the back; with what must be light reflected from the moon's surface. The dark side of Earth is illuminated

They say there are sun, earth and Venus in the shot. So the second most bright thing must be the earth. I assume the earth here is simply blown out from overexposure. With my digital camera I can overexpose a new moon if I set the exposure

This individual apportionment always seems neat when I think about it, until I realize the vote would not be per person anymore, but per tax paid. I want to force rich people to contribute to welfare. They might be inclined to just fund the

This article doesn't do justice to the book when calling it "plenty fluff". A bulleted list is abridging beyond the point of usefulness. Just read the original instead of what this person distilled for themselves.

It's weird to me how this salary is being normalized. A "typical tech CEO" is incompatible with the mission of Mozilla.

Sure when you're controlling the source, you can fake it. But requiring the fakes be prepared ahead of time locks the faker into one story that may be contradicted by other evidence.

I was wondering why they stopped publishing videos in 2024. They haven't, they switched to Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/1053667887 Here's the last video I could find, showing the first full-length elements floating in

I mean, there are many things way off since we started agriculture. We're not exactly prepared for talking machines are we? But you seem to suspect that these text generators are something else than what I described, or what are you sa

Wow this is going to be epic! The US govt prints dollars to prop up cryptocoins! The sad thing is how this puts more money in the hands of bad people: This is inflating the holdings of shady orgs worldwide. And the way this admin has been b

Interesting. I've been looking at the Framework 13 to replace my Asus. Now the older versions are cheaper too. In these cases I go by the assumption that the leap in perf is mostly not noticeable to me so I would go with the old versio

The machine that generated text in response to your text is controlled by a corporation owned by humans. This text generator is primed on human conversations. It is wholly controlled, has no desires, no principles; it can't even lie be

What I like here is the discovery of the extra loop, and then still digging down to discover the root cause of the competing threads. I think I would have removed the loop and called it done.

Ah yes the merged fonts can get unwieldy when you want to use multiple scripts in the same doc.

Regarding Elm: At the time it worked very well for our use case. It still builds fine, but now it doesn't look like Elm is viable long term. As for the font: The font pack did include an unmerged font with just the glyphs. I'm not

Funny anecdote from a friend who worked with Linear Elam and was very skeptical of the Desset proposal: When he applied the proposed decipherment to a short inscription on a pot, it read "God condemns who takes this vase", freely

The G7 has a smaller applicator. To me it looks less "needly" than the G6 did. The libre applicator is even smaller. There's less of a need to look at the underside because the applicator is set on the skin without having to

I think reliability was one important part missed by the analysis. If the car has to go to the shop, no matter how cheap or insignificant the job, that's still half a day lost.

A fanny pack is actually where my reserve insulin is at all times. And the pack is attached to me most of the time. There's also some sugar in there too. People with T1 either have insulin pumps attached, or long-lasting insulin inject
