This is truly horrible, no misery left unimplemented; you're not even in a window seat. Well done. (I think the young people say, "thanks, I hate it.") That said your seatback map is better than anything on any airliner I&#x2

I think the point of this is simply to show off the author's data science and analysis skills as an advertisement for hiring them as a consultant. Certainty I hope it's not one of those intelligent outsider attempts at an obvious-

I wear silicone ring in the gym, in my workshop, and working on or sailing boats and a platinum band when I'm not doing manual stuff. I could wear no ring at all, but I don't particularly like the optics of an obviously married ma

I don’t usually get parenting right but the stars lined up for this one: I got hold of the Lego Saturn V kit (1969 pieces!) and my two kids and I built it over a few days while listening to this in the background. Last piece on right about

Yes we really went there, quite a few times in the 1970s. We have been again, also several times, with rovers and landers. As for why not humans since then? There's bugger all there to justify the extreme cost (at this time). It's

I read this a bit fast and with half a brain (because I'm in a boring meeting), but I'm not sure what an "AI model" is over just a common or garden model. I get the achievement here: it's quite difficult to combine

It's not a sophisticated take but if you haven't really thought about inflation before and its relationship to monetary supply it's a pretty good illustration. I'd not really want to knock someone for having an insight

This is a fun example of the cognitive switch you have to employ when first starting to program a computer. It's extremely easy for a human to pick at random one thing from a pile of things: you reach out your hand and grab it, maybe s

Author worked as a saturation diver in the '80s; this is a first-hand journal-style account of one particular job.

How do you keep the drinking water actually drinkable over any time period? Anything stored gets nasty.

It's probably significantly easier to machine it this way. The pipe is curved, so work holding isn't straightforward. Once the blank is installed in its place in the bearing chamber face then you can just move that larger part aro

What does that mean? WEF is... world economic forum? What type of messaging is that?

I doubt it was just him, there'll have been a group. I am not surprised that some VIPs got given access. It's quite common for museums to do such things after hours. This is strange language in the article, even for the Graun: &gt

I need a new little Mac for my music studio, currently an M2 MacBook Pro. I thought I'd be fun to experiment with some local models as well. Well, let's price up an M5 Pro. $3,019 with 64GB RAM and a 1TB HD. Three thousand America

> "not do significant work this at this late hour" Is this Claude code? Or your local? I assume Claude? I'm more than a little staggered by this, like, it makes no sense! It doesn't even serve Anthropic's interes

A measure of the market's perception of the threat to Meta from these lawsuits. The uncertainty is over now, so the price goes back up. I'm interested in the settlement details - yes $16bn ok fine but any behavioral or structural

That's fascinating. I rather like your closing statement. What would we do if we made contact with an intelligent alien when we can't even have a conversation with a dolphin?

No I'm just saying that slaying the monster has secondary effects. Yes if the whole world one day ate some mushrooms and decided that war was completely over, there would be some upheaval. We would agree that it'd be worth it. To

Meh. Even assuming the flesh isn't toxic (which it totally is, and radioactive to boot) Godzilla weighs, what, 200,000,000lbs[1] which even at a ridiculous Wagyu price of $300/lb (and assuming every ounce of the bastard is meat) i

Weeeelllll... I was going to just go "fair point" and stop at that but I don't think I entirely agree. Most of those 80k, perhaps all but a few hundred, would do whatever they were told to do. They are the sort of banal evil

Put 80,000 people out of work and take a chunk of of everyone's retirement account. Not to mention the second order effect on other tech stocks. It's right there in the comment you're replying to. But that's boring. Let&

Magical wishful thinking is as misguided as even the most rabid anti-tech critique. Your - piloto_ciego - needs will never be met by the abundance of the planet. Perhaps your great great great grandchildren may begin to live in such a free

Well this'll rightly be flagged and killed, but gets points for novelty for sure.
