Yeah same. I took a course on this years ago and it was explained that the garish colors were to make the statues more visible at long distances. Nuance would be lost. A lot of collosal roman sculpture was designed with the perspective of t

I have eufy 11s. It does a braindead bump-and-run algorithm that uses no computer vision and does not map your room. It's a bit slower, but still does a solid job. Cheap too.

You can certainly accept a bias against corporations but you still should never assume every accusation is correct. Otherwise you'd be inclined to believe bullshit theories like Moderna wants our kids to have autism.

I use that one for image gen too. Ask for a picture of a grandfather clock at a specific time. Most are completely unable. Clocks are always 10:20 because that's the most photogenic time used in most stock photos.

The next hot thing (pun intended) is geothermal. The tech to drill deep enough opens up the possibility of extracting geothermal energy in most of the world. The tech exists and is deployed. Scaling is not yet proven but is very plausible.

Do you think the big guys are on to your game and have been adding extra pelicans to the training data?

It's frustrating how poorly most people understand economics and the distinction between price and cost. Everybody in the world is being asked to blithely accept the massive unpaid costs of motor vehicle usage. This is a tiny step towa

I actually doubt it's very regressive in NYC. Also, you're still only counting the price and not the cost. The benefits are likely tilted towards the poorest residents who absorb the most costs of congestion in terms of both pollu

I wrote a ton of Perl 5 and also found it very intuitive and powerful. I think the notion that Python is "more readable" is true, but also less useful of a metric than it would seem. Python is still gibberish to a new coder and re

No, it affects everybody. Says so in the article. The distinction appears to be that severe mental illness is associated with shortened lifespan so coffee has a more profound anti-aging affect on that population.

I would further argue the apps are all like 99% the same. And also work just fine through a browser without installing anything

What about OpenAI would rate a bailout? There's too much competition. If they ever do end up in a deep hole and plead for a rescue, I would imagine that gov will just force a sale of assets. Surely Google, MS and Amazon can make use of

This is also very closely following the pandemic. I'd imagine that massively pollutes their data. I didn't see a comparison to comparable districts that didn't implement a ban. Just from anecdata of my own kids, enforcement i

No? My recent experience with Gemini was terrific. The last big test I gave of Claude it spun an immaculate web of lies before I forced it to confess.

I think that's the disconnect. When college was more rarified, it was populated by a mix of children of privilege and those who had the talent, ambition and desire to expand their minds. That selection bias was enough to predict future

I read the same conclusion in a NurtureShock published 15 years ago and they cited similar studies.

At this point, what would that party even be? Their only genuine appeal is to Christian fundamentalists who prioritize banning abortion and LGBTQ rights. There hasn't been a coherent domestic or foreign policy from them in decades.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here. The only constitutional issue was a first amendment one raised by NPR. The money was already in CPB's account prior to the recission, it was not a fresh allocation from Congress.

Adderall also treats excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy and I'd be a shambolic zombie without it. It's downright insulting when people think pharmaceuticals are some kind of shortcut to avoid some more discipl

They are being asked if they have disparaged Patel or the administration. Not just keeping secrets. They want loyalty to the regime, not the nation. That is obvious enough given the overt actions of the entire DOJ.

That's beside the paint of political appointees getting special treatment. Patel's FBI has been using polygraphs extensively to test political loyalty https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/us/polit

I see the crux of this post is that they gave a lot of valuable advice to someone who was, at the time, inexperienced. Surely you can acquire sage advice without giving up equity by just hiring someone with experience. And they'd be on

I found other sites indicating it's entering trials soon to be on the market next year. That's still a bit speculative obviously, but it sounds more promising that just being a working theory.

While a cure remains elusive, HIV treatment is now extremely effective. Antiretroviral shots can keep people symptom free indefinitely. Cancer treatment varies by type of cancer but many have dramatically improved outcomes.

So I have eye witness accounts of this lunchroom saying that's not true. The lunchroom was deafeningly loud before the ban. This school is also a magnet school with only high-performing kids who did not suffer from distraction problems

I've been using uv and am pleased that is about as useful as maven was the last time I used it 12 years ago. I'm not really sure why we still need venv.
