   We have a strong culture of engineering notebooks in my org. I tried for a good 5 years — i carried one and probably filled up 5 of them. But i went back to them maybe 5 times in all those years. And the effort of writing actually distracts

   This is so useful. a Gmail account is so much more than just an email account at this point. my first gmail account was made when anonymity and cool email was more of trend than your actual name - so i based upon my favorite book in 2006. 2

   We don’t understand our own consciousness first off. Second, like the old saying, sufficiently advanced science will be indistinguishable from magic, if it is completely convincing as agi, even if we skeptical of its methods, how can we kno

   I don’t see any positive outcome if we reach AGI. 1) we have engineered a sentient being but built it to want to be our slave; how is that moral 2) same start, but instead of it wanting to serve us, we keep it entrappped. Which this article

   There maybe something more than that. Maybe modern life and the great financial crisis have put us all into more stress, more work, so that we don’t have time for real relationships. It’s part of why politics have shifted the way they do. I

    I don’t think people realize tha Wi-Fi is a brand name for 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence'." WiFi, Wifi, or wifi, are not approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Despite common belief the name Wi-Fi is not short-form for 'Wireles

    Creat your own family yahoo — a website you maintain that has links to the websites they commonly use like mail and bank. Set as home page and new tab page. It’s a slight security risk since it shows where you have accounts. If you are savv

    I have two questions: 1) I thought most people got their “news” from social media (x, BlueSky, TikTok). TikTok esp does not really give link backs as well. 2) was this part of the “flood the zone” strategy, to get people to just be overwhel

    Forced molting for egg layers is very cruel. Starvation and thirst to lose feathers and rebate egg laying. We only buy humane eggs when we can, and I believe organic doesn’t practice it either.

    I only use my Google voice number for basically non-personal contacts, like my bank or shopping, etc. That way when you get an unknown call from a business, it will usually be coming from an unknown number and thus the screening will be in

    I assume you have heard don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good? I’m guilty of same thing, wanting to learn something completely before putting it to use, and thus never starting the real work.

    This was covered in mainstream press (maybe WSJ?) a couple years ago. I think renewed interest because of its plot points in Materialists. https://www.gq.com/story/materialists-leg-lengthening I forgot it was in Gatta

    We do so much on phones now and sometimes it’s easier on a big display. This sounds like it would be a quick home hub to add stuff to the calendar, check that email about soccer game carpool, buy plane tickets or pay a bill you got in the m
