They’re durable, resistant to corruption, relatively rare, pretty… Titanium or gems would’ve been equally used if they were equally convenient. Not to mention that coinage could be minted or mixed with, say, copper. Gold makes good alloys a

What are Scaleway and OVH missing? Many of their products are even AWS compatible. I hosted all our stuff in Europe at the last startup. The 2 providers above were much cheaper than our GCP stuff one the free credits ran out. It’ll have bee

Maybe it’s not their fault that this feature exists? Also, about choice: we like to pretend that people are free to choose where they work. They are; if there are no blocking consequences to that choice. For example, between working at Mi

Fundamental research is entwined with practical applications, you can’t have the later without the former. Europe is known for FR, while everyone else seems to be better at commercialising. It’s alright, progress for us is progress for ever

Why not, can you expand? Asking because I’m considering Claude due to the sandbox feature.

Of course, but personally I find it hard to eat too much of a ‘nut’ butter. I did keto for some months and was, in fact, almost always nauseatingly full from all the fat.

Your comment is a tad caustic. But reading through what people built with this [^1], I do agree that I’m not particularly impressed. Hopefully the ‘intelligence’ aspect improves, or we should otherwise consider it simple automation. [^1]:

They’re also somewhat less flexible in terms of a yummy breakfast, more likely to be GMOs, and a heavily sprayed crop.

Peanut butter is cheap and delicious. A lot of people hyper-optimising nutrition (I was one of them) tend to forget much more obvious stuff like fiber, amino-acid profiles, absorption of specific vitamins like D, etc.

TBF this ‘startup’ has a somewhat vague product. I read the article and couldn’t come up with a reason for the $2B valuation, what are we missing here?

That kind of reserves, invested wisely, would net enough interest to pay for a decently sized team maintaining Firefox and small AI bids. Of course I’m just an idiot on the internet, not the CEO of a behemoth.

That experiment might be unfruitful because I assume Apple’s algorithm was not trained on outliers. Very capable athletes might see similarly silly data because they don’t fit well into the bell curve. Maybe.

Countries with low inequality tend to have strongly progressive taxation systems — Belgium, Sweden, Finland, etc. The billionaire class isn’t a necessity, it’s a failure of morality to overpower the affordances of hyper-growth capitalism.

Our SFF HP came out at 150€ with flash storage and 16GB of RAM. I see used M1s for 200-250€ where we live. The only drawback of the M1 is you’d be stuck buying a NAS/DAS for the storage part, whereas the HP has 3 internal SATA ports. N

Disrupting a system without good proposals for its replacement sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Experienced people might produce better results? Have a greater understanding of the larger picture that makes a business? And people with kids were shown to have higher retention. If the youngsters move on with the tribal knowledge, what w

I really don’t know whether to trust that specific measurement. When I was a very active runner and doing intervals to improve per-km time, my VO2max went from 38 to 42. I decided to do a professional VO2max test and got a 46. Now, 2 years

I interviewed for Ada, whose ML diagnostic tool had shown itself more accurate at diagnosis than a panel of doctors. It was specifically trained on case data, IIRC, and doctors were paid to help improve the results. I wonder what it’s like

You used a predictive/statistical proximity chatbot on a single point-in-time snapshot of her blood, and you’re pissed that the result wasn’t useful? I think any decent GP would push back, want to see trends in the data, or at least lo

Of course, but then iCloud might want to cache a reasonable amount of data, say, the 10% the user uses the most. Seeing iCloud caches in the 100+GB arena makes no sense to me, especially if the system isn’t rapidly releasing that storage wh

Nice video, Hank is always good to watch! I think we’ve more or less debunked plastic recycling, as nothing more but a way to make consumers feel good about purchasing things made of plastic. We have to recycle plastic where we live — and d

I’m aware, which is why we don’t buy products with recycled synthetics fabrics for our baby. Ironic, since so many brands are hellbent on promoting the recycled fiber as more sustainable. But: the AirTag is made of hard plastic (polypropyle

At this point it seems pretty clear that all projects ported from Ruby to Python, then Python to Typescript, must now be ported to Rust. It will solve almost all problems of the tech industry…

What level of materials recycling would be required for you to not consider it green washing? It’s a genuine question, since I don’t like Apple and agree that we buy tons of stuff we don’t really need. That said, our bicycles can’t be insur

This is a great question. For example, the Pixel 10 has a similar recycling profile, although with less recycled plastic.

I have a third-party tracker and the AirTag in my bicycle. The third-party tracker has no clue what it’s doing or meant to do. But then again, the AirTag is completely inaudible in a decently-sized bicycle parking garage.

Of course the offramular expansion is what makes all the Fleeb Juice a key aspect of Find My. That and the lack of a substantive in the name.

I’ve had this one for at least a year. Suspended tabs won’t come back 1/4 of the time, and the URL is gone too; the tab is effectively gone. I’m keeping important tabs in Brave.

This would be acceptable if solid state storage weren’t so susceptible to write wear, in a laptop where nothing is user serviceable.

I can’t attest to the entire past, but my ancestors on both sides were farmers or construction workers. They were fit. Heck, my dad has a beer gut at 65 but still has arm muscles that’ll put me to shame — someone lifting weights once a week
