IMO, Comic Con has done a pretty fine job at eliminating scalpers. They do this in a few ways: - Random selection over an hour at ticket sale time that is unique per device, with some 'are you human' checks along the way to make i

I agree that sheet music could be improved. The worst part to me is simply that notes are identical symbols just shifted up or down ever so slightly. But based on the screenshots your app does the same thing, just side to side. I think it w

I find myself just typing random combinations of the letters that sound vaguely English because the game's vocabulary is much larger than mine. For example I got "minge" which is apparently British slang for vagina but I&#x27

I'm surprised by the figure that 23 million people hold NFTs. That's pretty impressive considering the clunky user experience. I'm not a big fan of NFTs but I'm pretty happy with my one NFT that got dropped free to users

I can't vouch for the veracity of this story, but an older engineer who worked on a particle accelerator once told me this story from the 1980s: The particle accelerator would start overheating every day right after lunch time. They ev

I was trying to fix the flaky Bluetooth connectivity on my Subaru. There was one post on the forums that said "Just slam the glove compartment closed really hard." Knowing that this was bullshit, I tried everything else to no avai

Interesting. The article doesn't say why the pilot ejected. If the jet were able to continue flying for hours in autopilot, maybe the pilot ejected a bit prematurely, no? Though it it continued flying I would expect it to be on ADS-B.

It's great that AT&T offers static IPs, but I should charge them about $600 for my time because it took me 3.5 hours of playing games with the automated support line and explaining to their tech support what static IP addresses are

My entire family has been geo-tracking each other since the early 2000's when my Dad got his hands on some early tech through his work. Never once has it been used in a toxic or controlling way. It's great for peace of mind or fig

I love you I love you I love you I love you Seems to work fine. Though I typically use Gboard because the swipe typing is much better. I find the most restrictive thing about Apple's autocorrect and speech to text to be the limited voc

Ask it to come up with a few different solutions and then compare and contrast to find the best one.

Interesting they didn't include Aptos in their testing, given it came out of Diem it seems like it would be best suited for this use case.

Many crypto companies are still flush with cash from the bull market and their token valuations + treasuries are quite large. VC investment in the space continues to chug along at a steady pace. Lots of crypto companies are hiring and have

Anecdotally, I feel like Siri was usable to send text messages and emails when it first came out. Now it struggles to do even that.

They would get an immediate benefit from using an LLM for intent recognition - i.e. knowing that a user wants to search or set a timer, etc. Current Siri is really bad at this. I'm sure even a fine-tuned Llama 7B would be a massive imp

I would browse Reddit on Apollo for hours every day, and now I've stopped using Reddit save for occasional search results (in which case I'm sure to use old.reddit). For me that's a pretty big result!

Aura frames do exactly this and my family loves them. I haven't dug much into the privacy policy.

Tl;Dr: myopia correlates strongly to how much children are indoors. Rates drop sharply when they're given additional free time outdoors.

I tried using the clever email equivalent to me@firstna.me only using a more obscure TLD. Most people got very confused by this.

I just received a random image of a champagne bottle via iMessage from an unknown number. Any way to tell if this is the attempted exploit? I had patched my phone prior to receiving the image.

The formula for the Kelly criterion is f = p - q/b. If you plug in the odds of the recent record-setting mega millions draw, which was EV positive, f is 2E-9, which means it's Kelly-optimal to buy 1 ticket for every billion dolla

This is interesting. The antithesis is probably the book Lifecycle Investing [0] which essentially concludes that you should be 2X leveraged stocks in your youth and slowly reduce leverage over time. 0. https://www.lifecycleinves

Could be interesting for liquidity position NFTs, delegating the role of rebalancer / manager to someone else. Maybe they can build it into UniV4 :) it would sure make things like Arrakis a bit simpler.

The datahoarder subreddit is probably the best place to ask for this info.
