Ah, that specific push notification would have been via the FCC's Emergency Alert System (EAS) I believe. https://www.fcc.gov/emergency-alert-system But it sounds like Japan's system also sends push notifications

"not on for japan?" Are you expecting to have gotten a notification in SF for an earthquake in a place a 12 hour flight away? That sounds like annoyance, not a feature. We also have the MyShake app here in CA, but I don't rec

Actually from the author's description it sounds like he has lived in SF for longer than most of the people he's meeting.

Yeah, I still have to go to it, AND pass the recommended stuff at the top, and maybe shorts too (?), but at least I can see the stuff i want to see.

That makes sense -- yeah, that if you go to the Subscribed page, you still see all that content, but the algorithm is de-prioritizing subscribed channels in the recommended feed.

If you watch Shorts, maybe. If you watch normal videos, the comments are pretty much an afterthought. But even shorts, assuming they're like reels/stories, the "social" aspect is very minimal compared with, say, Facebook

Is it? I've heard YouTubers make snide comments about subscribing "as if that has any bearing on whether you see my videos", implying that it has minimal impact on the algo.

It doesn't help that AI "thought leaders" can't articulate a vision by which our lives will improve rather than be made worse. It looks like: 1. They take billions in investment 2. They spend trillions 3. They and their

Shocking that people who are in data science/ML are excited about data science/ML, and people in jobs not interested in that area are not interested in it. It's like a programmer being surprised that a worker in $random_job w

Huh. I thought there was going to be something insightful about one ball juggling specifically, but I didn't see it in reading or searching. I haven't tried just 1 ball, but I find 2 to be a lot harder than 3. (which, I suppose, i

I install a new app maybe once every 6 months. I agree that the app store is trash, littered with ads and casino games for kids. I just don't find it hard to find the app I want, when I want something specific, and install, and then _

I wonder if we'd have the same reaction if cola had never been darkened. We wouldn't, right?

I'm guessing you picked a location you wanted (outside of OneDrive) and the location has stayed, as I mentioned? I don't trust that it won't be reverted some day, but it hasn't in the past few weeks.

by rconti 7mo ago
Office in the Mac is AWFUL about this. By default, it saves to a OneDrive you never asked for and can never find. You can't permanently change the location of your saved documents-- just change it once, and the setting stays "fore

steer-by-wire makes safety nannies way easier, eg, the ones that jerk the wheel out of your hands when they decide you're too close to a line on the road.

Utah and Colorado had an awful winter, full stop. California did quite well in December. Then late February and early March came along, and a rain event at high altitude melted a lot of the snowpack, followed by a not-uncommon heatwave in m

I'm getting so exhausted by these weird Reddit/social media posts where my brain says "wait, is 'corn' a typo? Why did they write 'k*ll'", and so on. The algorithm did something explicit censorship ne

Yeah; loss of utility heat in the wither has a much higher fatality risk, I'd think. The difference is, many homes have multiple heating methods available to them. If the natural gas is out, use an electric spaceheater, for example. So

I think the parent means they don't want to take a nap in the midday heat. That said, presumably it's still cool enough to sleep indoors, because, while the outdoors is hot, the indoors has not yet fully heat soaked.

I'm curious where you grew up. Heating indoor spaces in the winter has been effectively mandatory during the lifetimes of anyone who would be commenting here. On the flip side, air conditioning only became widespread during the lifetim

I'm not sure about a surplus. 4-9pm are still peak hours and a quick skim of this CAISO page[1] indicates we're importing electricity during peak hours. I think the solar generation from say 10am-4pm is where you'd find a sur

My home doesn't have A/C, but the only time I wish I had it was to sleep on hot nights, which this doesn't really solve.

by rconti 7mo ago
I think many of us (myself included) operate under this fundamental assumption that air conditioning is somehow sinful and wrong, against the natural order of things, but heating spaces is a good and worthwhile use of resources. I made a sl
