It is mostly the freshness. There is a reason it all comes from small local bakeries - it has to be made that morning. Even by the afternoon it will not be as good.

Wild that I could read this article, give DeepSeek about 4 sentences of prompts and have it running on my own homelab and unifi cameras in about 10 minutes. The future mostly sucks but some parts are pretty cool.

...have you tried any of the cameras from the last 5 years or just the pixel 6? My 11 pro's cameras are by far the best cameras I've ever used on a smartphone, my previous iPhone included.

Two of those are the same thing and both are much cheaper in countries other than the US where the government is much more involved

The brand of ice cream I associate the most with being tasteless and cheap is Carte D’Or so I’m not sure this is the burn you think it is

Watching an LLM interact with the Honeycomb MCP is interesting. When returning a query result it returns not only the tabular data but also an ascii art chart. Presumably they have tested this and it improves the LLM’s ability to interpret

Mind telling us which assertions are false? They make no claims about pppoe adoption other than that’s what their connection uses. My fibre connection in the uk uses pppoe (2gbps)

They used to plan not just for major live events but for the end of popular soaps like Eastenders. With live TV becoming less important culturally and renewables eating the world most of their forecasting these days goes into weather predic

People eating donated bananas are not buying bananas if there are none available for free. They are just not eating bananas.

The result of laws like this is not that the store will never buy too much, it’s that when they do buy too much they will give it away to somewhere it can be used instead of destroying it. It will not cost them much if any more to simply gi

The conditions leading to the Cold War were reversible, this crisis is becoming very much less so. Despite what the carbon capture techno optimists say.

My mother is a speech therapist. 20 years ago she used to bring these devices home to set up for kids she worked with and would get me to record the voice sometimes for her kids who had a similar voice to mine. Even then, as a child, it str

I am SO tired of the Claude docs site getting a rich preview every time anyone mentions “claude.md”. At least it’s registered by Anthropic, but what a terrible decision to allow these TLDs.

Huh? Polestar and Volvo’s electric models share a very large part of their software stack, see [1]. I’ve seen forum posts talking about where the service centre accidentally loaded the Volvo software onto a Polestar. There is really quite a

There was a good More Or Less (uk radio programme) episode about this last week. Essentially, the European statistics on this tend to be based on excess mortality during hot periods, while US stats currently are much more about what words a

There are many places in the world this is not true. I would say about half the people I know who live in London don’t own a car. They travel plenty - probably more than the people I know who don’t live in London. If they really need a car

I always thought this was baloney but James Hoffman’s recent video where he steamed water with the steam wand instead of boiling it normally for an americano changed my mind. I tried it and it was a genuinely different tasting drink. Not su

I had been paying monthly for 13 years straight and they still demanded a cancellation fee because it turned out I was on an annual commitment (which by the way they hiked the price of by 50% with a month’s notice and by the time you notice

Looks, no need for bird caging to stop nests underneath the panels, and I don’t believe it is particularly more expensive if you do it when replacing the whole roof. It’s more expensive if you don’t want to replace your roof.

The middle ground is integrated solar panels, where you have normal sized panels but they are flush with the rest of the roof and there are no tiles underneath them. There are normal tiles surrounding the panels. This is the style I tend to

Aero is driving a lot of EV design choices yes but it’s not as much of a limitation as you are implying - see the Ioniq 5, Cybertruck, F150 lightning or any of Rivian’s vehicles for examples where they’ve traded a bit of range for a boxier,

Thank you for putting into words what I dislike about that refrain so eloquently. It’s a cop out.

Well yes, hydro and geothermal are the easiest (and earliest perfected) renewable sources to provide consistent base load. It would be odd if the first countries to achieve fully renewable power weren’t making use of those technologies. Oth

You can absolutely see a GP you’re not registered with if you are travelling and need to. I have done it multiple times. I have been offered it same or next day after calling 111.

This article is about a sodium-ion battery which is a different chemistry to the one BYD claimed those results on (that was LFP). Sodium-ion is exciting because it has the potential to have less degradation over time, much less sensitivity
