If you have a chance to chat with the staff again, I notice their marketing language says "Nearly perfect spectrum matching with daylight" - but they don't publish a Spectral Similarity Index. They only claim a (relatively lo

I'm very impressed that Innerscene provides LM-63 data for your artificial skylights. Is there any chance you'd be open to providing Spectral Similarity Index scores for your skylight? I think it would really differentiate your pr

Starting points for first question: Look into i1Pro (later models of the first generation), which can be had for $200-400. Combine with some free or $99 Windows/Mac/Android software [0] [1]. Second question: It is still too hard e

I saw "artificial sunlight" and thought "oh wow I'd love to see the spectrogram of the lighting solution this person came up with". I was disappointed to merely see "CRI 95+". https://www.youtub

Line-drying is very different from "hand-washing". I "line-dry" (drying rack) a lot of my clothes (pretty much all my dress pants, dress shirts, anything that I don't want shrinking in a hot dryer). But I don't

Wouldn't that only be relevant if the old ones weren't also machine-washed? Also, what % of people in developed countries are handwashing their underpants? The only semi-widespread handwashing I'm aware of in developed nation

In fairness to your point - Ubuntu is a very, very strange company with wildly absurd hiring practices. Ubuntu + RedHat sells your position well. Of course we should acknowledge that there are many viable Linux distributions out there which

RedHat is a pretty small % of total linux installations. I think you're reaching a bit with this general line of argumentation.

Ah. Good comparison, I completely agree. And also, your description of long wait and cold food is reasonably accurate for Houston - it shocks me that food delivery apps are still so popular here; most people seem to talk about mainly bad ex

Not all cities are like yours - in Houston, it's reasonably common for a business to offer delivery "anywhere within the inner loop", which is just the smallest of three beltways which circumscribe the city. The inner loop is

In Houston we also have eggs for $0.34/each as you do ... but those same eggs were $0.21 each in January. So perhaps your $6 per 18 is the new raised price? Our cheapest eggs have increased in price by 62% in the past 60 days.

It says “smaller distilled model” in your own quote which, generously, also implies quantized. Here[0] are some 1.5B and 8B distilled+quantized derivatives of DeepSeek. However, I don’t find a 7B model, that seems totally made-up from whole

Oil would be pretty much the same. Ag would be a chaotic disaster. The subsidies for ag were written in blood based on the need to smooth the natural forces of extreme cyclic market fluctuations that affect all inelastic commodities. But a

Leviticus 19:11 bypasses the whole "עֵ֥ד" vs. "בְרֵעֲךָ֖" shenanigans. New International Version (NIV): "Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another" King James: "Ye shall not steal, neither deal

More than 3 moves if the 0%-100% control range is a very narrow sub-range of the input range. i.e. 90% of the handle movement doesn't do anything at all. This is actually surprisingly common, often the full range of hot to cold happens
