Surface Book 2. It’s kind of a bad tablet and also a bad laptop. Both batteries completely dead and not repairable. E-waste. Copenhagen Wheel. Still working but no longer supported. Approaching 5000 miles. Some day they might brick my bicyc

If employers pay for commute time they can also use home location as a hiring criterion.

All we need is native Excel support, and HTML5 web support. In web browsers it should be the default copy formatting, and if you’re writing an HTML document these characters should be an alternative to using TD and TR tags.

Millionaire class? The article describes a small business owner who wants to retire. Meanwhile, the private equity firms are going to monopolize the market and raise prices. Sadly, none of the 20 or 30 year olds who are actually doing the w

Vertical integration is not monopolistic. A dairy farm can make great ice cream, like McConnell’s or Strauss. Apple’s acquisition of Beats is maybe the one that shouldn’t have been allowed since they were in competition for headphones. Most

Not even close. LLMs can spew word salad. Images can be classified or dreamt. Physical movements can be iterated and refined. Speech can be processed as text. These are components of intelligence but these are all things that most animals c

Chanterelles are not a great example as their look-alikes are easily distinguishable. Furthermore, they exist in symbiosis/parasitism with particular tree roots as a host. When you return to the same spot you’re harvesting new fruiting

Some people can’t deal with collaborative decisions, if the group is wrong. He started xAi because OpenAI didn’t care that GPT had no logic or factual accuracy. I don’t like Musk but I actually agree with him on this one. In that sense, I t

When plugged in to a computer, it would be cool if it reverts to being a smart display with touch screen. It could still charge and transfer files too maybe? I don’t know enough about USB-C, but I really wish devices could do dual function

If we spam critical EM frequencies drones may fall out of the sky. For example a laser pointer may overwhelm optical sensors, while ultrasonic distance sensors are often used to determine height and proximity to obstacles. Some pilot softwa

I have the faintest of hope that WWDC will reveal a new hybrid Mac/iPad OS. If it ever happens I won’t hesitate to buy an iPad Pro.

Legacy keyboard shortcuts are still supported in Excel for menus long gone. For example Alt EAF is clear all formatting, and Alt EAA is clear all (values and formats).

I’d really like to see something like this optimized for regular subtitles usefulness, rather than for attention grabbing. Two subtle changes from regular subtitles to make it more fluid. First the words appear as they are spoken and from n

Agreed. When I type a good word that isn’t accepted, I usually just stop playing that days puzzle. My guess is that Sam is not very scientifically literate. Simple weather words like cyclonic or adiabatic, advection, no dice. And then you g

I have eaten nuts for days and I can tell you it will get old quickly. It’s no coincidence that sugar leads to over-eating. The body sends a very strong signal to eat when the sugar is digested. The same signal does not happen when nuts are

He’s referring to subsidence. The buoyant weight of soil is less than the dry weight, so it does compact when the groundwater is drawn down lower than ever before (as it has been for decades, getting lower and lower). It’s an irreversible p

There’s enormous variation in the rate at which children learn language and speak, particularly in the age range being studied. It’s not a race. Nobody is robbing kids of spoken words, as if they are entitled to them. Some people maybe don’

It should be $1 for limited-term access to the whole site, not one article. Not just journalism but all subscription media should have non-subscription options. All the streaming video or music services should allow 1 day access for $1 or 1

It would be amazing if it could be deployed with pyodide/wasm as an alternative to a Python web server. Truly a standalone interactive notebook, hosted with plain html.

Time zones were invented for time agreement across longitudes. We could easily do away with them if we included longitude, and everybody used a true solar noon clock. It could be automatic for GPS-enabled devices to maintain accurate solar

Decimal time doesn’t seem as useful to me as localized time. With GPS coordinates, we don’t need a timezone system, everybody could have noon at solar noon. When setting up meetings, one only needs to include the longitude and everybody cou

Good start! There aren’t too many nice battery powered screens. It would be nice if the U in USB-C really meant universal. If I plug in an iPad to a computer over USC-C it should advertise itself as a storage device, a battery (bi-direction
