To me, this doesn't show the weakness of current models, it shows the variability of prompts and the influence on responses. Because without the prompt it's hard to tell what influenced the outcome. I had this long discussion tod

How in the world do people even discover these things? Certainly not by clicking cells to set up an initial population then hit "Go". Brute force approach works I suppose.

Rider fair is only one way to fund transit. My city (Corvallis, OR) provides free bus service city wide since 2011. The newest addition is free bus service to surrounding cities (up to McMinville and down to Eugene). It's paid for wi

Speaking generally, free fairs also provide various benefits to a community such as reduced use of cars and easier access for lower income access to jobs and services.

Though really amazing engineering, I'd say not all of them show "how they pulled it off". I'd like to know how the Byzantine geared mechanical calendar was "pulled off", especially those gears.

A different kind of map, but 3d level (map) designers seem to enjoy doing Easter eggs and hidden things in levels. There are the famous Half-Life G-man cameos for example, which aren't quite fourth wall as it were, but still something

I've been seeing good things about Widex and it's got me curious to try.

Same. When in I don’t notice it much but do when not wearing them.

I know one person at work with CIs and yea, I imagine it's a challenge. UX for a lot of assistive technology is iffy at best. Repeating some of the comments others have made, I'd love it if Apple would make a full on hearing aid t

Yea, my Phonak + iPhone experience was not great. I stopped using any integration with them after a while and now just use AirPods for all my calls, music, etc. I have open domes and can pull off wearing both, but do take the HAs out now

by pugworthy 11mo ago
Yes I’d love HAs as easy to use as AirPods. AirPods with the HA form factor would have some real advantages, even for those not hard of hearing. I don’t ever hide my hearing aids but the discrete nature of them is great.

by pugworthy 11mo ago
Yea I gave up on the phone integration with mine. Whenever I’d get a call or some audio thing was going to happen, my HA mics would go silent and second or so later the audio would come in. So answering a call i would often miss the callers

I have the latest AirPods, and I do use them quite a bit for calls and noise cancellation when using power tools and such. But irrespective of any capability to act as hearing aids from the acoustic perspective, I don’t think they are the s

Why not Target and Walmart then? Or Costco?

Maybe? It would have to be a pretty big theft to go to all the trouble of finding the vehicle on camera, identifying the owner, figuring out if the thief was the owner, etc. They aren’t going to do all that if it’s a relatively small value

I imagine there's some truth to that. But if I was someone wanting to setup some ICE action, I'd probably be drooling at the thought of accessing that data being a central gathering points for day laborers looking for work. http

Montana is an interesting state. Very few cameras state wide (20), and all but 3 are at Lowe's and Home Depot.

It very well could have just been Torx back then. I remember opening my original 128k Mac in '85 or so to do the 512K memory upgrade, and a weird specialized screwdriver (Torx) was required to open the case.
