I wouldn't get too hung up on actual speed or numbers, but try to just keep it slow. I hear what you are saying. Running gait is more sort of a lean-forward-and-push-off-with-toes type thing than a smooth easy walk. You can do that wit

Well I said "at least for me" 10 words in, and "give it a go" etc so I am not suggesting this is universal. Sorry it doesn't work for you. 4 to 6 times a week is a lot though, max I do is 3 times a week, typically 2

Running is quite meditative when you get in to it (at least for me when outside - indoor running on treadmills is soul destroying though I agree). You don't have to go fast or far, but after 10-15-20 mins I find my mind gets into a fai

Opus 4.5 was the high point for me. It was like a mind-reader, it just got it and did pretty much exactly what I wanted. Since then, I've been less impressed and I agree it feels a bit downhill. At work we are "stuck" on Opus

Only live for an hour. But that won't stop people doing bad stuff for an hour I guess. Vibe code up some on-demand thing that you ping...

I visited a decade or so ago. Most of the islands you are forbidden from staying overnight on. No running water. No power. No phone signal. You're going to need a big big solar panel to run local inference during the day, but luckily

There is no dead lingo. The term "log" as a list of entries in some kind of journal predates the internet in en-GB by several hundred years, having strong nautical origins in the ship's log. It is the origin of "login&q

No, it's always been blog in en-GB. Try reading in light of basic facts, if you need more hint consider if a spell checker might put a wiggly underline under the letters "loug".

Cable channel? Are you talking about fibre-optic frequency channels? What kind of cable are we talking? Perhaps you can be more inclusive in your language on the future.

+1 my immediate thoughts about the date parts was this sounds a lot like localisation things that are totally normal and seen everywhere. But there are some wrinkles - why only two timezones and not others? E.g. US-vs-rest-of-word month-

This is not so much about being overweight (although I admit I am) it is about the constant overriding urge to eat eat eat eat eat all day every day. The constant feeling of wanting to eat, when I am going to eat next, what can I eat, what

I said it elsewhere but I'll say it here - we need one of the top 10 richest people in the world - the Bezos, the Musks etc - to suddenly get very interested at a personal level about cancer treatment. Then the money will flow.

I think realistically we're waiting for someone in the top 10-20 richest people in the world to get cancer (or a close relative etc) who will then throw billions at research to try and fix the problem.

I let my current cleaner be around my kids. Now the question is is it riskier to have basically a stranger with strong arms in my house near my kids, or a robot with strong arms in my house near my kids? I feel like a robot has the technica

A robot that cleans my toilet would be nice. Sure I could have a dedicated toilet cleaning robot, and a dedicated dishwasher loading robot, and a dedicated pickup-up-crap-off-the-floor-the-kids-have-left-around-robot ... or just something

Please read my comment - my London tech worker total comp is about 8 times that 62k and I am coasting mid-level. The poor folks in the UK are pulling the average down too. Oh and healthcare costs in the UK are obviously zero percent, paid f

I think you have your numbers backwards regarding health. The US spends more (16% Vs 10 GDP), but preventable mortality, life expectancy, people living with chronic conditions etc are all worse than other developed nations: https:/&#x

Comparing against Claude 4.5? Aren't we up to 4.8? But disingenuous?

Nice. It would be nice to be able to pick the precise location on the map (house number appears not to work). Also "ground floor" seems to say 1.5m off of the floor? I would like to tweak those values for e.g. panels on the floor

Well many places allow you to do 80% time (at least in the UK)... but you get 80% pay, 80% bonus, 80% holiday accrual etc too. And from experience it seems that 80% people need to try damn hard to actually keep it at 80% and not get sucked

I hit this wall quite hard a couple of months ago. I was getting extremely frustrated and feeling incredibly burnt-out and frankly quite unsettled by how I was behaving and ultimately spiralling into something of a furious rage-depression t
