Arguably this existed for the limited time in history with invention of over-the-air TV and ended with advent of cable. Event before internet streaming nobody watched same stuff anymore.

While you are technically correct, since any triangle is a simplex, this is not relevant to this visualization. For this visualization: get positive quantities in 3D space, normalize to 1, now you have dot on a triangle on 1-sphere in a pos

But any modern house is too airtight and essentially requires ERV. Which brings us to next interesting problem - you would think that ERV should be built-in into modern cooling/heating systems, but it’s no the case.

For schema design phase I used web UI for all three. Logical bug of using BIGSERIAL for tracking updates (generated at insert time, not commit time, so can be out of order) wouldn’t be caught by any number of iterations of Claude Code and w

Honestly, I don’t understand universal praise for Opus 4.5. It’s good, but really not better than other agents. Just today: Opus 4.5 Extended Thinking designed psql schema for “stream updates after snapshot” with bugs. Grok Heavy gave corre

It was high voltage but low current. I touched high-voltage circuit in the back of TV accidentally while poking in it as a teen, and while it was quite unpleasant, all it did was burn a hole in the skin of my finger. It eventually healed.

If you have enough your own testosterone then doing TRT is more harm than good. But once you get older and don’t anymore - TRT is golden.

TRT is one of those things which requires precise and active management. But it also increases quality of life and well-being so much for 45yo and beyond that it’s insane not to use it. (And same thing with HRT for women). Your choice is to
