I didn't know about hypocenter before too but it's neat how you can sometimes deduce the meaning of a word from its parts (because "hypo" means "under"/"below" in Greek, like in hypodermic, hypog

The audiobook narrated by Ray Porter is also really good. In fact, it's so good that it sets a really good example of what an enjoyable experience listening to an audiobook can be.

Driving Volkswagen e-up for the first time was a very unique experience to me. My brain needed to adjust that a car can be that nimble and responsive due to its small size/weight and instant torque from the electric motor.

The good thing about the bump is that it should make it easier to pick up the phone from a desk. The size and weight of the phone does look tempting, but its battery life is a deal breaker for me. I'm pretty sure there's no way it

I switched to the MX Anywhere 3S from the Anywhere 3 and now it has become my favorite mouse by far. I have one at the office and one at home. The silent buttons feel just right for me and the higher sensitivity has been a game changer in t

This is such a cool idea. I wonder whether it's possible to define a custom Personality in Grok's voice settings that would do this. Unfortunately I'm not able to create a new Personality in Grok's settings to test this

Grok's updated voice mode is indeed impressive. I wish there was a way to disable automatic turn detection, so that it wouldn't treat silence as an end of the response. I like Claude's approach (you need to tap in order to en

It might feel less formulaic because it's more upfront. Following a formula without telling the other person about it can feel more robotic if you don't put your soul into it. Whereas you can still put in the right energy and effo

I use EAR Classics too. I sleep on a dense pillow, so when there's some noise outside/near the apartment I lay down on the side and put in the earplug into the "top" ear so that the other/bottom ear is then blocked

One doctor recommended this brand to me too not long ago, but I'm a bit worried that this probiotic contains histamine-producing bacteria since I have some histamine sensitivity. And overall I'm a bit hesitant about consuming too

I wonder whether they have plans to open source the JetBrains Copilot extension as well. It feels like it's receiving much less attention than the VS Code extension (which is understandable).
