Kind of fun to think that the crystalline structure of minerals is an "echo" of their arrangement of atoms. A repeating pattern on a scale we can actually observe.

I'm fairly certain that Nest cameras do not allow streaming over your local network. You can still use the cameras even without a subscription, i.e. watch the live stream or get notifications. This means that yes, they are absolutely u

The late potter and educator John Neely would often say to his students and others: > “I don’t put too much stock in creativity. Creativity itself won’t get you very far, you can’t always rely on it. But you can rely on hard work” Knowin

I hate to be the one to say it, but...this is why we can't have nice things. At a certain scale, social media tilts humanity in one direction. We can't seem to escape the trajectory of our very nature; it will outcompete any compl

I’ve been wanting to implement a more “overzealous” approach to cleanup orphaned pods from analytical workflows (Prefect) that hang on to expensive compute resources, sometimes it feels frustratingly out of control. It’s really difficult to

I have been trying to imagine something similar, but without all the middleware/distribution layer. You need to do a thing? The LLM just does it and presents the user with the desired experience. Kind of upending the notion that we nee

Seen another way, perhaps Sam would be much worse in this regard without his meditation practice (but Vipassana can definitely make you more anxious). I'm in agreement though, his podcast pre-2016 was pretty foundational for giving m

Not all third party Kubernetes controllers are created equal, unfortunately. And it is also the reality that not every infra team gets final say on what operators we have to deploy to our clusters (yet we're stuck cleaning up the messe

The unfortunate trend I’ve witnessed in newer schools in my neck of the US (west) is to essentially make them fortresses, a place where entrances and exits are tightly controlled and each classroom can quickly be locked down. They honestly

As a hobby ceramicist, I must acknowledge a certain amount of grumpiness borne from what the talc allegations have done to our niche community. Talc is used extensively in low-mid fire clay bodies as well as an additive to increase plastici

This is essentially true. Pharma is incredibly expensive (for lots of different reasons), with R&D taking up a huge portion of those costs. So yes, it's safe to assume that part of the accounting around those published costs in the

This perspective is well received; made a bit serendipitous by the unexpectedness of it (for me). It came as an insightful thing to think about when linking it to the idea that we, humans, are a just a Darwinian biological system, and the r
