A + B would be best. Warn at 200, file to reserve the last 100 (or 50 or whatever). That way if the fill is too fast to react to in time, you still have a quick way to temporarily gain disk space, if needed to solve the problem.

I'm guessing it means that your use of the website is not contingent on you accepting (approving of) the terms presented. But there are plenty of other ways it could be reasonably interpreted. For instance, your access of the website i

You're saying offshore wind farms would prevent the US from detecting an intercontinental attack crossing the ocean?

by tempestn 7mo ago
Speaking of runway crossings specifically, you could have an automated backup, and require authorization from both ATC and the automated system to enter a runway.

Would you call a business to ask a question that's answered on their website?

I'd argue a well designed AI assistant would be considerably better than a decision tree for that use case. Decision trees are slow because you normally need to wait through several options before getting to the one you're inter

Agreed; they're far better than the old style robots, which is what you'd have to deal with otherwise. More generally, when done well, RAG is really great. I was recently trying out a new bookkeeping software (manager.io), and rea

Me too, but I wonder whether we're in the minority here. I'm sure there must be plenty of people who just call places to get information easily found via the web, or there wouldn't be so many automated phone systems that expl

I'm also wondering if "freezing" was meant to be "freeing".

I dispute the convenience, but I think the science has been tested. When you open a regular fridge, because cold air is denser than warm air, much of the cold air immediately falls out, so the fridge needs to work to re-chill the air once y

It's a cool idea, and might be great for a secondary fridge. For a primary fridge though, it's so much more convenient to have direct access to everything through a vertical door. I like energy efficiency, but I'm willing to

Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of voting for a political party that matches every one of our priorities. I don't support this bill; I do support some other aspects of the Liberal platform. Likewise with the other major par

I'm not sure a billionaire building a bunker is much different from you or me buying fire insurance. It's not that I expect my house to burn down, and it certainly won't prevent me doing everything I can to prevent fires. Eve

What about adding something like, "When asked a question, just answer it without assuming any implied criticism or instructions. Questions are just questions." to claude.md?

I, on the other hand, find incorrect grammar mildly annoying, especially when it's due to laziness. It distracts from the thoughts being conveyed. I appreciate when people take the time to format comments as correctly as they're a

There's a big difference between me running a filter on other people's words, and those people themselves choosing to run one and then approving the results . I personally don't see a problem with someone using a grammar che

Ah, I see. They're reclassifying it as standard time without changing the offset. Yeah, it was my misunderstanding.

by tempestn 7mo ago
The comment actually has it backwards. It says BC is moving from daylight to standard time, but should be the opposite. It's got the offset right though.

I like a lot of the points made here, and I think they likely hold truth in many scenarios. That said, in the case of watches (no pun intended), Grand Seiko seems like a counterexample to a few of the points made. First, they are very much

Fortunately there's significant correlation between quality of communication and quality of ideas, so your approach might just be optimal!

EST is Eastern Standard Time. Most of Europe is on CET or CEST depending on time of year. (Somewhat confusingly, the 'S' in that case refers to Summer rather than Standard!)

I appreciate the list of potential harms. I'm curious about your last point though. Isn't it trivially easy to wipe cookies from your browser?

Maybe people will finally learn the difference between PST and PDT.

by tempestn 7mo ago
If we assume that the ideal time for 8 months of the year is DST and for 4 months is standard, but we want to eliminate the switch, then permanent DST gives you only 4 months out of the ideal timezone rather than 8.
87.
by tempestn 7mo ago
Permanent DST being the "wrong" choice is your opinion, and a minority one. Certainly doesn't make those who disagree "morons".

by tempestn 7mo ago
I'm really curious how people will feel about it after experiencing a year of continuous PDT. I expect I'll personally like it, but the polling will be interesting for sure.

In the winter I can see arguments both ways (though I'm personally in the evening light is better camp). But in the summer, it already gets light earlier than almost anyone would want to be awake. An extra hour of sunlight at 4am is li
