Oh, I have one laying around here somewhere.

It was a tough time, indeed. But I feel that had I used an "all unknowing and answering" LLM, my retention and understanding of the class material would have been significantly lower. But I didn't have any choice as to having

For superbowl, I'd love to go to a sports bar, and on one of the 35 screens, this 8-bit version of the same game is playing. Maybe with hilarious "Mutant League Hockey" style animations on tackles or something. We'd all

I've seen a few 3d printed projects that did similar, displaying some live API-received number on a 3d-printed split-flap board.

I can't really explain it; it's simply a preference. It may not actually be optimal efficiency. But I like the pen and paper.

I'd like to see a study on the threshold of projectiles versus safety squints. I searched around, but couldn't find a paper.

Harvard's cs50 had a "Rubber Duck debugger" which was an LLM trained on all their educational content with specific guardrails in place to not give any answers. It would chat back with you planting little ideas to help push y

Fellows devs at my company think I'm strange, but I always have a cheap coil-notebook. It has diagrams, notes, doodles, minutes, checklists, mostly not even in order. I try to remember to write the date at the top of each page. I just

Oh, recent sightings in the area I go mountain biking solo... every weekend.

I 3d printed a coffee can holder for bicycles with the braille "coffee", so when you're riding and you reach down for a drink, you know which one is coffee. The product didn't sell well, but it made good gifts!

slipons, loafers, crocs, sandals for 90% of my life. BOA for bikes. Occasionally I have "traditional" lace-up shoes, and replace the laces with those elastic pull-string shoes. Was gonna teach my kid how to tie shoes only to reali

"fewer old people" will actually, spoiler alert, happen. Just wait about 20 years. Certain parts of Japan are gonna be completely empty.

Where is this? In Japan, at least in primary school, boys can get away with anything, as "boys will be boys." Girls must take care of others (first) and themselves (second). If girls misbehave, write sloppily, forget things, and s

That's, like, 70% of all meals in Japan, both in and out of the home. Maybe with an additional tiny side of pickles. It's what kyushoku (school lunches) basically is, every day, at every school across Japan. If a meal, especially

Agreed with all of the above, except the "100s of apps." Turning notifications off of most apps solves a bunch of little problems. The big problems need to be forcibly named at every chance. In no particular order, youtube, tiktok

Fully agree. I'm all for remote work. However, in my first 2 years of programming, being able to go the the office, put my laptop and notebook down next to a senior dev, point and say, "Help me," was so valuable.

Climate and terrain allowing, bicycles reign supreme as a transport. Especially with all the new adaptive-, electric-, accessible- cycles out there, cars should be "rare but welcome strange guests" in many neighborhoods, downtowns

Plumbing: plumber. Electrics: electrician. Most other things (besides obvious big things like foundation, drainage, roofing, load supporting areas) can be done with a good "fix it all" kinda person, or (with patience) youtube.

Lots of people I know who moved here as adults have developed pollen allergies over the years. Some after a 2 or 3 years, some after 10.

Hmm... I think I could be set for life with, like, $1m. Obviously age, family, lifestyle and current savings matter.

I do something similar (also working in Japan), but it's just a keyboard shortcut to screenshot and paste into an LLM with instructions.

I'm reminded of a short video clip I saw a while back with a dollar-counter on-screen. Different kinds of weapons were fired, each one bigger and more expensive than the last, the counter spinning upwards all-the-while. And here's

Etsy used to be awesome, now it isn't. Lots of mass-produced junk played off as quality made-with-care-and-attention kinda stuff. It's even easier with AI images, videos, description and communications. I think kickstarter is gonn

Kinda like home-improvement stores, power tools, easily available hardware and youtube tutorials led to both incredibly amazing and durable furniture, as well as janky, ugly and even dangerous furniture. More tools for more people equals mo

Too bad in Japan that it's about 30USD for an 11 lb (5kg) of bad of rice. Japanese rice, in Japan, is nearly 5 times more expensive. (Note that last year, 5kg bags were as much as 8000jpy for standard rice, prices have come down a bit,

I'm not sure how serious you are about the dismissive "women be complaining" comment. A big part of your perception may be that women have more to 'complain' about; society is measurably unfair for women. Another pa

Ugh... In the 90s, people were screaming and panicking about the future of over-population. Dystopian scenes of dense and dirty tiny living-quarters stacked on top of each other. Now everyone's screaming about a declining population. W
