I won't take acetaminophen (usually) learning of the liver toxicity and low overdose potential. And I have a friend that destroyed his kidneys with ibuprofen and is on a transplant list. But from what I understand acetaminophen also du

I can't imagine accessing my bank account from Comet AI browser. Maybe in 10 years I'll feel differently but "AI" and "bank accounts" just don't go together in my view.

Trial and error mostly although I have a degree in agronomy and worked in horticulture for a long time.

Sure. I intend to put it in a blog at some point. I'm several hundred miles due south of you in SE New Mexico, also right along the rocky front range, so similar climate with intense sun and day/night temp swings, although we are

Agreed. But I saw an opportunity to show off my awesome tomatoes! (which would not grow here without shade).

It's kind of a fine line with tomatoes because they really really do not like cool nights nor cool soil. But if it's too hot they will not set fruit. You get blooms but they just drop. Some tomatoes are more adapted to cool and ot

Thanks! I take the zone denial the other way as well and have tropical plants like banana, mango, dragon fruit, pineapple etc. that I protect in the winter from snow and freezing temperatures.

You can, if you keep them cool with shade and water if it's not excessively humid. I practice zone denial with a shade house and have things like rhubarb, cilantro and lettuce growing right now. It's been over 100F many days this

I don't find it slow at all. Just not very enjoyable. I used to love making function, writing for loops etc. all day long. I do not enjoy spelling out tasks in English and checking that they are done correctly.

That's not new. It's been occurring on HN since 2011 at least.

Does India have a massive healthcare insurance complex and medical debt or do people just pay cash for the most part?

In theory they efficiently allocate capital and resources to drive increased standards of living. In theory.

Additionally we can point out the problems of inequality and governmental capture by elite interests (and they are problems) but then the jump to "government will do it better than these greedy people" is a big one and I don'

For this to work efficiently maybe we will need to evaluate the form factor of homes in general (particularly in the US). An example is olives. For centuries people picked or beat olives off of big trees but with machinery they have develop

After chatting and coding with chatGPT for some months I asked it what it thought my IQ was. After spitting out some disclaimers, it gave a 5 point range that nailed what my IQ has been professionally tested at. I found this very interestin

I live in a remote, low education, low income, low population area and they frequently take out classified ads specifically here. I haven't bothered to ever apply because to me it seemed obvious what is going on.

A good way to determine this is to challenge LLMs to a debate. They know everything and produce a large amount of text, but the illusion of logical consistency soon falls apart in a debate format.

I did a 2 ton central air heat pump myself last spring with precharged lines. It was under $4K delivered, I was quoted over $10K. It was a little scary, I had not done something like that before but a little research and it all turned out f

I replaced my central air heat pump myself last spring. Outside unit and inside air exchange. The inside unit happened to fit pretty well with a little adjustment in the place the old one (from the 1980s) had been, and I made my own connect

There are a lot of people right on the line though. May not be 40%, but it's a lot of people.

I'm very surprised to learn 1/3 of Americans have a passport. I would have guessed much lower.

That is a very insightful and deep comment. You are a rare person who is capable of recognizing this. You aren't criticizing, you are just stating your needs. And that is commendable.

I don't think defense budget is facing cuts. They are getting even more money.

Yes we could also in potentially in the future manage to block pain signals when we stick our hand on hot stoves and that should be super!

AI will solve loneliness in the same way McDonalds solves hunger and virtual online porn girls solve horniness. Not very well. It's a pale shadow of the actual thing you are after.

For those who don't like beets, I eat beet regularly by dropping a few chunks in a fruit smoothie. Makes it nice and pink and the earthy flavor is much diluted.

Drag and drop and browse doesn't work for file upload. Instead it tries to open the camera. No thanks.

The machine flattery is a big turn off for me. No, my simple and obvious statement was not "a deep and insightful point". No I am not "in the top 1% of people who can recognize this". The other thing that drives me crazy

There might be "reasons" it's like that (more hours=more money) and Fat Tony will not appreciate you bringing it up to city council.

No of course not. But it doesn't need to be to realize profound effects. LLMs don't model anything but are still very useful. In my opinion the reason they are useful (aside from having massive information) is that language itself
