I was going to say the parent poster was probably eating sweet, not bitter, apricot seeds; most of what you quoted is about bitter apricot seeds. Looks like you can actually buy bitter apricot seeds on Amazon.com though; and the reviews are

I was interested when Feynman pushed back on the laziness of the opening question - seems like a very Feynman thing to do - so I was interested. The follow up question, though, snuck in a lie - "you went to UC Berkeley for two years.&q

Yeah, this is cyclical - If the "Do what you love" parents crash and burn, they tell their children to "Focus on career." If the "Focus on career" parents succeed, they tell their children to "Do what you

I don't know an English word for that. "Seance" is the word for an attempt (usually in a group) to talk to spirits. I think most Americans are used to seeing the commercial-style boards with the teardrop shaped indicator, not

You linked to a map that shows no demand-related outages. The peak demand is caused when everyone's AC kicks on at once during heat waves. Electric cars can easily be charged off-peak; even my ten year old model has a "timer"

For Super Bowl ads this is plausible; for ads run on Facebook and Youtube it will never happen until it can be automated. Those platforms don't have the staff or inclination to evaluate all of the ads submitted.

Worse than that - you can create a LinkedIn job listing under that (unverified) employer. My last employer got hit by that, and had report the listing to LinkedIn support and wait for them to remove it. Meanwhile the scammer could use to jo

HN is not a monolith. Some people might like Meta and other people don't like Meta. You can also like Carmack and dislike Meta. I don't see the narrative you're talking about in that link.

"Trending on artstation" is even more strange. I do think these text prompts will outlive their original context; like the floppy disk "save" icon or the "hang up" icon.

I forgot one - if you start thinking there's a bug in a library, reduce your code to the smallest example that reproduces the problem. If you get it down to 5-6 lines you're going to either (1) remove something along the way that

I don't know if they're accurate, but none of the prototypes look like something you would walk around on the street wearing. Like the Oculus Rift, they look like something you'd use in your home or office. If they DO wind up
