Yeah I just ignore it, when I was biking 40+ miles a week this summer it says my VO2 max was 18, which is just absurd. Maybe because my arm is really hairy I don’t know.

It’s wild when I read a professional looking website like this and Conscious Digital misspells their own org name as “Consious Digital” in the first paragraph. I’m glad they’re fighting against email spam but it just raises all sorts of red

I’m guessing the Russian theory that asbestos is totally fine and isn’t harmful? The Russians still use asbestos and say it’s a plot by the west that we got rid of asbestos in our buildings. (Don’t shoot the messenger here, I have no dog in

I’ve recently really gotten into playing Starfield by Bethesda and you can turn the difficulty up and down, they obviously put a lot of systems in that they decided most people would find annoying and not fun, so they kept it in but gated i

I tried to have Cursor use the playwright MCP to click a few buttons on my project as a test and while it did do what I asked successfully, it burned through like 150 premium requests in 5 minutes. I guess if you’re totally insensitive to t

Crazy, so if I understand correctly, something with B200s and nvlink is causing issues where after 66 days and 12 hours of uptime, nvidia-smi and other jobs start failing, timing out, then once you restart the cluster it starts working agai

I declined the master data agreement when Toyota updated it, and my car hasn’t connected to the Internet since. They also wanted to charge me like $20 a month for stuff like bothering me with notifications that my wife has failed to lock th

Interestingly growing up as an American, I watched Duck Tales which while tangentially related to Donald Duck it’s about his ultra rich uncle going on awesome adventures and just being so smart and awesome. Donald shows up every once in awh

It’s tiring for me because it seems like everyone is just spitting mad about AI, and at every opportunity they breathlessly make sure to let us all know how useless AI is, and how they are indeed the one true programmer who has no need for

My guess is because it’s turning development into a Red Queen’s Race [0] where everyone has to run faster and faster just to stay in the same place. If everyone else is using LLMs, how can you stay competitive without using them? [0] https

I honestly stopped reading it a few years ago, so have no idea of the state of the sub, but if you sort by all time best most of them are pre-AI.

There’s a subreddit called HFY which stands for “humanity, fuck yeah!” Which has little short stories about humanity being badass normally in a scifi setting in one way or another. https://old.reddit.com/r/HFY (I have

And Em Dash is trivially easy on iOS — you simply hold press on the regular dash button - I’ve been using it for years and am not stopping because people might suddenly accuse me of being an AI.

I think before heating without smoke, it was perfectly sensible to smoke tobacco because it was the least bad thing you were inhaling on a daily basis, and you were likely going to die of lung cancer regardless. Makes sense we didn’t really

I think it was the graphics card. I remember getting a paper route and waking up at 5am every morning to save up the money for my Voodoo card. Was absolutely mind blowing as a 13 year old.

I used to sing dumb songs like when changing my kids diaper I’d sing “you got a STINKY DIAPER, you got a stinky diaper and it smelled like pee, oh don’t you knoooow what I mean” sung to Deo’s Holy Diver. Just dumb stuff like that. I still s

Lisdexamfetamine, it’s very similar to Adderall but more expensive as it comes in capsules instead of tablets, but the upside is it lasts all day instead of a few hours. It recently became generic in the US, but is still around $60-120 a mo

And my uncle as well. He died at 65, mentally he was still sharp as a tack, it was so sad to see him gone so soon.

Not enough! Every time I see an overweight person now (I lost 110 pounds), I want to suggest it. I convinced my sister to try it, and she’s shedding lots of weight!
