I love the idea of forking timelines, thanks for the feedback

I'd love to get a little feedback on the project - right now all the events are populated with an LLM pipeline and a crawler, just to demonstrate how the site will look - but the quality of the timelines would ideally be much higher if

Viewing the eclipse from an actual hot spring would probably the perfect viewing scenario.

Nice. I wonder how many people will end up being in the path of totality but not able to see it anyway - like mission critical jobs at a power plant. That would be painful!

Sure - I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining - I think the tool could be very neat. Would be great to be able to use it easily without any email, at least for the initial trial.

used a fake email, but when the processing was done, it didn't work and asked me to pay for something.

How many other people here just assumed they had been banned for some arbitrary, uncontestable reason? I just use instagram to post hiking photos...

I'm only speculating, but I assume it's a lot easier to consume in excess with this method before you'd feel sick. I feel nausea if I drink too much too quickly, not sure if I'd get that with inhaling it. I do want to gi

You can actually make ethanol into a vapor you can inhale, but unfortunately I assume that only makes it even more dangerous.

I have to leave the example of police and police unions - which have very powerful lobbyists who try their darnedest to keep as many things illegal as possible.

Although in a blind smell test, I wonder how well would you do? I've seen people fail hard at identifying what food their eating when blindfolded, and they have the additional power of taste rather than just smell. We're wired to

Yep, local businesses near Page have to explain this to pretty much every tourist who books anything with a specific time in the general area. Huge waste of time.

yourworldoftext is kind of in this space, although it's not traditional HTML. In it's heyday there were a lot of internal pages that were kind of like wikis

I don't know, but you might want to reach out to http://www.mylandmatters.org/ - that's where I go to get a lot of land use data, so they might be able to point you in the right direction.

I've been thinking about how with the rise of LLMs, we're going to uncover A LOT of "bad studies" over the next decade. Could be some sort of mass reckoning. Probably better to admit it all now than be uncovered in 5 yea

I question how safe it actually is - I'd assume it could impact a lot of other biological processes in the environment. They can change the way other compounds in the environment are absorbed by plant and animal tissue. At the same tim

I wasn't able to register initially due to some password strength requirements that aren't written anywhere, and got errors without an explanation of why. Generally I would have bailed at this point but wanted to give your project

Maybe we just don't have the required tech to give these a non-goofy form factor yet. I owned Google Glass and I didn't love being made into a spectacle, and that was more low profile than these things. I think some people do like

It only works for a highly specific type of article that's found in scientific journals ('perspectives' articles), and at the paragraph level it was closer to 92% correct.

Flour costs less than 50 cents, sauce maybe 25 cents, probably at least $1-2 for cheap wholesale cheese, plus toppings.

Yeah that line doesn't lend itself well to marketing campaigns.
