I mean, this is good news, but why was the efficiency of the system so misunderstood at the design phase? I hope someone's interested enough to find out!

...but why wouldn't they use AI as an oracle? From an outsider's perspective, it seems that there's already plenty of incentive to test the margins of acceptable academic practice in order to produce more papers or publish m

I was wondering if you could defeat the beans/lentils by injecting some water vapor in there (while maintaining the vacuum & placement of the items), and freezing the whole thing. Then cut it open under hard freeze and maybe every

I made one of these halos 2 years ago, and my anecdotal experience is that the older (fully grown) sparrows can't figure it out, but the smaller, younger ones get through. Then, weeks later, I see fully grown sparrows at the feeder, ig

I burned out my XPS 15 USB-C charging electronics by using a high-end charger. I think many laptops of a certain age were not rigorously tested for USB charging. Hopefully that's changing.

I am going to try to move my family to Matrix (via Element.io). I really hate the walled gardens. The fact that people still use email addresses from decades ago is pretty good proof of the powers of federation. Wish me luck :)
