A while ago my daughter wanted an image of Santa pulling a sleigh with a reindeer in the driver's seat holding the reins. We tried dozens of different prompts and Dall-e 3 could not do it.

The article says Williamsburg, which is in Brooklyn, but still NYC so that 100k is not going to get you much.

Zeppelin bend and Carrick bend are my favorites. The knots I actually use the most in daily life are bowline and trucker hitch. I'm partial to constrictor knots as well.

Honestly there is conflicting information about which is more prevalent (toxo or crypto). From what I've found the sources that site toxoplasmosis as most common are older, and the ones reporting cryptococcal meningitis as more common

In our HIV patients we see more more cryptococcal meningitis than CNS toxoplasmosis. Crypto is typically not going to have any significant radiologic abnormality unlike toxo in which imaging plays a large role in diagnosis. So I'm gues

I'd like [my last name].com but a domain squatter has it and wanted over $10,000. I put in a low ball offer and they wouldn't budge. I told them they were crazy. I have an uncommon name that very few people would want so I may try

Once newer high density batteries make it into cars and we can get 500+ mile ranges I think it will help with a lot of these concerns. When your car's range is longer than most people are willing or able to drive in a single day then y

That may be what is happening. I rephrased the question and chatgpt got it correct. Q: which word occurs third in this sentence? A: The word "occurs" is the third word in the sentence "which word occurs third in this sentence

I, and I suspect other ADHD people, don't form those habits. I've for years read things like "you don't have to remind yourself to brush your teeth because it's a habit. You can make exercising a habit, too." B

What has helped me (n=1): 1. Get enough sleep. 2. No Alcohol 3. Quit caffeine. It does help with attention for a very short period, but the sleep disruption outweighs any perceived benefit for me. Even a single coffee in the morning I find

It seems like there is a lot of pressure these days for people to find their "passion" or their life's work. But I think there are only a small subset of people who have that kind of single-minded focus. I used to get anxious

Looks like it doesn't work anymore. I've tried multiple variations of the prompt and only get a canned response: "I'm sorry, but I am not able to act like the computer game Zork or simulate the output of a text adventure

So far the only NA beers I have found that taste like real beer are from Athletic Brewing. I avoid alcohol but also really like the taste of beer, so I'm loving the Athletic beers. I highly recommend them.

The impression I got is that his tone sounded like someone giving a speech or presentation. Rogan sounded more natural. I suspect a large part of the training data was Jobs giving presentations in front of an audience so his AI voice sounds

It's definitely the case that many unnecessary tests are ordered. That is a different issue from quotas, which is specifically what I was addressing. Anyway, I will concede that my personal experience practicing medicine is not necessa

Article 1 is about certain for profit hospitals setting quotas on the number of patients doctors admitted to the hospital, and giving kickbacks to doctors for ordering tests (which is illegal). Article 2 is addressing a cancer treatment, no

Not sure where you got the idea that there are "quotas" doctors have to meet for ordering diagnostic tests. I can't speak for other countries but in the US this is not the case.

I have learned just as much, if not more, from reading HN comments as I have from the links. I don't reply or comment very often but I do appreciate those who do. So, people who have interesting or insightful things to say, please cont

That's funny, I'm in the US and my daughter puts on a British accent when she's playing. I guess for either one it's something that sounds exotic and fun.

A tip to keep the oil from separating: I add about 5ml of water to a jar of peanut butter and stir in well. This creates an emulsion that thickens the peanut butter and prevents the oil from separating out. It improves the spreadability as

I've been looking forward to marine starlink with the thought of being able to work remotely while sailing. Then I saw the pricing! I guess they're aiming for the megayacht crowd not average shmoes on small boats. Interestingly i

Yes! the zeppelin bend is also my favorite knot. I probably don't use it as much as a bowline, but it comes in handy joining two lengths of rope, looks cool, and is always easy to untie no matter how much the knot has been loaded. Bes
