In the sense that publishing marketing-driven press releases is a conspiracy between the publishers and the marketing team, I guess?

When using an LLM for details like this I keep it out of the mode of generating prose as much and as long as possible. I get better results when I work with bullet points. I think this helps me keep the right frame of mind when reading the

I fully agree that this was a big miss on the human operators’ part. But it’s a small business and I have repeatedly seen so much worse than this. Vendors charging money to allow customers to connect AI to systems must have a robust story f

That “but..” is a big key to the difference between Russia and the US in this conversation. The US has a severe cultural propensity for rule-following and reporting things, but in Russia there’s an interesting mix of people seeing society a

1) Russia is generally very safe, and 2) I agree that the violence amongst children is crazy. It’s a great place to homeschool and free-range and I have not found a way to send children to school in a way that’s acceptable to us.

Good morning from Russia, where I moved my large free-range family (from the US) with the topic of free-ranging children very high on the list of reasons why. My children cross town by themselves to attend classes, it’s normal to see childr

Yes, the factors to consider include: - cost of the effort - probability of success - trade-offs in the case of success or of failure - the possibility of only partial success creating an even messier situation than the existing one Having

I understand your point and have a long list of bitter grievances against Apple, but OS X triggered a large influx of geeks to the Mac world. It was a Unix that just worked, and there were all kinds of important ways that appealed to key te

For a very long time now, homeopathic remedies have been regulated by specific US law, called HPUS, and are labeled accordingly. They’re actually required to include examples of what they treat even though many in the homeopathic community

What we don’t understand yet is what that means. We have never had such a thing before and it’s not clear what the patterns are that will make the best use of its known attributes with the least exposure to downsides — whether those be rela

The idea is that the crops are more profitable per unit of time spent. The pasture operations are very low labor.

I have never seen a permaculture designer, or anyone, make such a claim. We aim to reduce maintenance by design, using methods that overlap with Lean Manufacturing and other process study, but it would be absurd to claim that it’s possible

Permaculture designer here. That’s a pretty good take. Biggest aspect missing is that once you abandon the “parking lot” approach to farming, you get many niches where you can profit from multiple crops on the same land. The farmer in the a

I’m a permaculture designer and have run a small vegetable farm. I have visited Polyface twice and spoken personally with Joel Salatin both times. I’ve read several of his books. I think that Polyface shows up in this discussion very much o

Right, don’t use that, but there are well-implemented timeouts in network libraries, etc.
