I have a family member that is severely disabled. She used to be on a program where the government would supplement her wages - she worked at Jack in the Box, where her employer would pay like $3/hr and the government would top that up

Don't use your ISP's default DNS because they will mess with stuff. You should probably just set your DNS servers on your device because you probably don't want to use whatever random DNS you get from public WiFis either. I l

This is something that makes me nervous any time I see YouTube videos about these sorts of lasers. They can blind someone nearly instantly, silently, and invisibly from a quarter mile away. That's terrifying.

As AI replaces more of our media across filmmaking, music, podcasts etc. - it feels like pro athletes are the only ones whose jobs aren't threatened! Nobody's going to go to the baseball stadium to watch some holograms or robots p

I once - by complete chance - sat next to Henry Cavill at a bar. He was trying to talk to a friend and then an attractive woman interrupted them almost right away to strike up conversation with him. Over the next hour I watched dozens of wo

Some vehicles (like my Subaru) offer automatic emergency steering that can save you when there's not enough distance to brake. The Mach-e doesn't have that per my quick Google (they have some assisted thing but it requires manual

Especially on Texas highways where speed limits exceed 80mph, you'd have to be very alert and likely have to swerve over into the next lane (like the other driver did). At 80mph, the stopping distance of an average car is around 300 fe

Two things that blow my mind: 1. San Diego, CA has the highest electricity rates in the country and an excellent climate for Solar panels. Without legislation it would be a no-brainer to get solar, but California has managed to make it tota

This is great, but Suno does often skip or hallucinate words so it may not be the most accurate way to memorize Pi. I was experimenting today with turning Feynman lectures into beats with Suno, so far I've barely made a couple of usa

This movie looks really bad! The AI rock-paper-scissors that Corridor made is probably the best full-AI movie I've seen. TCL should take a page from their book and make some good anime, trying to make it look realistic is totally uncan

T-Mobile is the site I can find the actual nutrition-label-type info. Can we get another website that aggregates all the labels into one explorer?

Last time I was shopping for home insurance, an agent told me I was too close to a canyon, which I thought was strange because there are no canyons near me. They sent me a screenshot of the fire danger map where clearly it had the wrong loc

I'm fairly familiar with infusion pumps, where bad software regularly kills patients. Just look up "infusion pump software recall" and you'll find dozens and dozens of very recent examples of how bad software implementat

I typed ‘who are you’ and it went on a rant about being Claude from Anthropic. So clearly the prompt needs a bit of tweaking so it doesn't break character!

I wonder how much multimodal LLMs are changing the game for blind developers. I imagine if used the right way it could be a huge productivity booster.

The ideal situation is having multiple intelligence agencies all working on one project and spotting each others' backdoors, so at the end of the day we just have a really secure and well-maintained project.

I'm convinced that dietary restrictions are extremely powerful for treating Crohn's and similar diseases, but patient adherence is so bafflingly low that the treatment may as well not exist in doctors' eyes. Just as an exampl

I had a severe anaphylactic reaction to Remicade, it was a terrifying experience. The doctor had seen it a few times before so apparently it's not uncommon.

Not to say anything about you, but when I was learning physics, either I thought the professor was really good in which case I would usually understand the material just from lecture, or the professor was not good, in which case going to of
