   A lot of anxious words to say “AI is disruptive,” which is hardly a novel thought. A more interesting piece would be built around: “AI is disruptive. Here’s what I’m personally doing about it.”

   I've been on it for about a year and it has not helped with my new impulse to buy home gym equipment. (Lost ~35 lbs before tirzepatide, ~50 more lbs on it)

   I think the point was that 80% would have insurance coverage, not that everyone would take it.

   My favorite DIY hot sauce is manzanos and dragonfruit. The little black seeds make it look awesome and manzanos are a nice slow burn.

   I was so frustrated by this that I quit Apple altogether. Bought a Windows laptop and an android phone. WSL was good enough to keep me on Windows, but I am back on iPhone one generation later (android was not my jam). If I had unlimited tim

   Is there a reason something like a water rower wouldn’t work on the moon? Possibly with a weighted vest or a weighted seat. Rowing is pretty full body and doesn’t seem that reliant on gravity.

   I'm pretty deep down the specialty coffee rabbit hole... but if I'm traveling or camping and don't want to bother with grinding, Dunkin' pre-ground is my go-to. Available pretty much everywhere and tastes good however yo

   I couldn't find any containers for paper filters for the AeroPress XL that didn't look like cheap 3d-printed garbage, so I've been going down a rabbit hole of how to build bronze articulated joints. I'm building a paperw

    We used to use a tool called flump to rasterize flash animations for iOS games (I ended up writing our runtime and renderer in Unity and later SpriteKit to consume that data). I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to build an exporter from Flash (t

    The headline is bad. No idea who that is and it sounds like they work there. Maybe: The lead singer of Weezer has an active Github account.

    I suspect “AI-generated slime” is on average higher quality than what most content mills have been pumping out without AI for the last 10 years (plus).

    Can you explain your thoughts on pricing on the hosted version? $40/connection seems much higher than your competitors and a total non-starter. Most open source projects seem to aim for “healthy margin over self hosting” but with even

    i want a small scale version of this to scrub CO2 out of my office (not too different than what they do on submarines). i already dump out a dehumidifier every day, could imagine swapping the "carbon brick" along with it (yes yes

    I started with a handpresso. I’ve had a ROK manual for 10 years and have given several as gifts. Upgraded/replaced most of the parts outside the frame. I had a part break earlier this year and they sent me new ones for free.

    I agree with this. We’ve already gotten pretty good at json coercion, but this seems like it goes one step further by bundling decision making in to the model instead of junking up your prompt or requiring some kind of eval on a single json

    Wow, much bigger than I would've thought! I wonder if they could've just cut off Giphy in the UK (likely much smaller), which would theoretically keep the UK wide open for gif-sharing competition.

    Is FB’s UK business worth $347M? I would call their bluff out of spite and just cut off service with a nice page that has the phone number and email of the bureaucrat that made the decision.

    I released a game in rubymagic back in the day and have kicked the tires on DragonRuby a few times. I love the concept but hate the license. They give it away for free all the time for game jams, but I think the fact that it’s paid is too b

    Nope (own my home + 8 rental units). If you actually want to do something about it, advocate for zoning reform. People buy SFH because the lack of MFH in some areas makes them a pretty sure bet appreciation-wise. If developers were more fre

    I purchased and returned a Lumina in January. I was hoping it was "good enough" to replace my current setup (Fujifilm X100f with a battery blank and Elgato camlink) and free up my family camera to do family camera stuff again. It
