There is no reason not to use propane or butane, they have low global warming potential and is cheap. The fire risk is overstated, no one thinks twice about carrying a lighter in their pocket.

I have some beef with the sunscreen people, mostly because of 3 things: - Skin cancer is by far the least deadly type of cancer and nearly always just requires some low-risk skin removal. - Getting a light tan feels amazing. Your whole body

Sadly I am a bit hopeless about climate change. Even if every person on earth dropped everything and started making biochar to be buried it would not sequester enough carbon to make a difference.

I would guess it is to avoid model lock-in.

There are enough crappy win32 applications that you probably should restart Windows PCs nightly.

I hope I am not alone in thinking the military needs to be defunded in the USA. Nuclear weapons mean that there is zero strategic threat and any future wars will be regional. Drawdown of oversea bases is long overdue.

I would guess prevention of using Claude as a pentesting or hacking platform. This could mean that every script kiddie out there would be a massive risk.

I would hope that librarians vet those and exclude them before they hit the shelves :(.

I've starting going back to books, either at the library or e-books. Librarians are very good at telling you if nonfiction is biased, outdated, or incorrect.

You don't need custom built anything, ChatGPT could generate corporate initiatives and PR statements all day and no one would notice.

They did use space tape (Kapton) and epoxy for that weird case with the hole drilled in the ISS.

brother I've thought about the tech to blue collar transition too. for me, I would choose plumbing or electrical, but it seems like 4 years of low apprentice wages are unavoidable.

For what they are worth, nuclear weapons are still preventing large-scale conflict between world powers.

I've started to go low-tech and ask noai.duckduckgo.com first, and then, gasp , go to the local library for some books on my hobbies.

The seed oil panic is quite possibly the dumbest health craze of the decade- I saw a chef saying beef tallow was healthy!

No AI company is addressing the elephant in the room that you need someone experienced constantly monitoring any agentic workflows. This means that the cost savings of agents are a myth. My company actually did an internal study of agent us

There is nothing wrong with forking, and one man's "better" version is another's bloat. Also, making a fork rather than a PR avoids burdening maintainers.

Honestly the de facto standard is to blame: at my dev job, we vacuum up all the packages we need and get the software deployed to production ASAP, then later go over the SBOM and make sure nothing looks sketchy. I'd imagine this is the

Reddit is more or less dead to me, as the popular subs are botfests and the niche subs are empty. I'm lucky to get a single reply on gaming subs.

This makes me paranoid to buy a new car at this point. I would have to keep every single oil filter receipt and take a video of the DIY oil change.

I'm starting to realize that fixed-price agent subscriptions follow the same profit model as gym memberships.
