This seems way above the clearing price for garage sale signs.

Honestly it sounds like more work than the oven method? Filling a Pyrex container with salt water is more work than “put fish on pan.”

Honestly I found this a lot more compelling than the actual launch video. There were moments when I forgot that what I was watching was AI generated.

That is not how it works. The images of the room are included in the generative training model. The wifi is "just" helping identify the locations of objects in the room. If you uploaded a random room to the model without retrainin

Because he was shot today, it was in the news, and the game pulls a live feed of news articles via RSS to simulate doom scrolling.

It’s a live RSS feed of New York Times articles.

One stat in here supports a third, slightly different statement. The median player has not played 51% of their games, so: "most people who buy games on steam have not played most of the games they own."

How would the game know you are guessing?

This article’s title, subtitle, summary, and first two paragraphs all contain some version of the phrase “reshapes your brains internal networks in real time.” I thought I was going crazy after I read the same thing six times.

Thanks. I did not know this, but it triggers a different problem. Many of my LLM queries are for work. My company has data protection agreements with OpenAI, but not with Kagi. These matter more for LLMs than raw search. For my personal wor

I love and respect what Kagi is doing and I was a customer for years, but I recently canceled my subscription. I found that have two main use cases: 1) Search - It is nice that Kagi search is less SEO spammed. That a big appeal. However, I

If you’re anywhere near Minnesota, this store has exactly the same vibes as Ax Man Surplus: https://www.ax-man.com/collections/all-products Their website doesn’t have it, but the handwritten joke signs in the store are

I learned a fun fact this year that completely changed how I think about wheels. Ancient wheels supported weight through compression: the cart pressed down, the wheel transferred that force straight into the ground. Simple and solid. Modern

The explanation is phenomenal. I particularly like the elevation heat map, which helps me intuitively grasp what is going on. This raises a question for me though: why do we show the tidal bulge graphic in any educational context? Like OP,

Did you randomly bring this up, or are you saying this because you see a Garmin redirect when you click "No"? I ask because I get directed to the Apple Watch homepage.

I think you are worried about the wrong problem. Forget about the influencers for a moment - what will your source of revenue be if you don't have an ad network? Users are the content on social networks. If you charge them to join, y

I've always wished that more games would self-host a wiki. Gamers love wikis with detailed data about the game, and I hate it when I go to play a game which has poor wiki coverage. This can happen with small titles that don't ha

You are both saying the same thing, you just differ on the degree to which you see that as a problem.

OK, you send the company two random numbers. One an ID, and the other a unique encryption key to encrypt the results.

Here's the o1-preview answer to the strawberry question: -- There are *three* letter "R"s in the word "strawberry." Let's break down the word to count the occurrences: - *S* - *T* - *R* - *A* - *W* - *B* - *E*

> If a worker is working at a company A making $80k, and they try to get a job a company B making $90k, the owner of company B needs to know they were only making $80k at their last firm, so they can make a good offer of $85k. $10k would

I wish IA had not started this fight. I love libraries, but it's totally unintuitive to me why it would have been OK to rent out unlimited digital copies of copywritten books. Just from a policy perspective, that structure doesn&#x27

If a defendant has the constitutional right to trial by a jury, and that jury has autonomy to make an independent decision, then jury nullification is a possible outcome. If jury nullification is not a possible outcome, then either the defe

When I see projects like this one, my mind mostly goes to, "how will this be funded and maintained?" This requires a lot of specialized infrastructure to be run. I really like the idea of cities investing in measures that make sm

Got ya. There are two studies here. The first study, referenced in the title, is from years ago that purported to show that judges were harsher just before mealtime. The second study was done to re-visit the first, and found that there a

The author (Matt Levine) is always a bit tongue in cheek about securities fraud and the “socially useful” role shareholders play in pricing securities. He writes about these kind of incidents in a weekly basis, so his typical audience knows

I’m not sure this study does anything to show that hunger increases irrationality. If anything, the authors point to rational, predictive decision-making right before meal time. Do you see something that indicates increased irrationality?
