I highly recommend the 1990 Polish stop motion TV series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moomins_(TV_series) . The only one that, to me, captures the magic of the books.

Works perfectly in 1Password. One-click sign-in is awesome! I don't understand the hate towards passkeys. Managing passwords for non-techies is infinitely worse in my experience.

This has the same number of free parameters as LambdaCDM. Also this result only looks supernovae, i.e. low redshift sources. LambdaCDM is tested on cosmological scales. Very interesting, but “more work is needed”.

Well no, that's not the reason why we're not Boltzmann Brains. A Boltzmann Brain is perfectly capable of believing that it is sensing reality in exactly the same way that your brain believes so. It is worth reading the section &qu

If you like audio books I can highly recommend the book Endurance by Alfred Lansing, read by Simon Prebble. Perhaps the best audio book I’ve ever listened to.

The third one is also very good! It’s the first book I would think of if you asked me about Endurance. The audio book narrated version by Simon Prebble is outstanding.

Sean Carroll (professor of physics, quoted in the article) has a highly-rated book titled "Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime" [1] which discusses exactly these topics. I haven't read it, b

There are no such things as absolute static things in relativity theory. "Before" and "After" depend entirely on the observer. Energy/matter and spacetime are deeply connected through the Einstein equations, so much

Sounds like it's more of a campaign than an actual ban. > It is not enforceable by police – officers could not stop or fine people scrolling in the street because there is no national law against smartphones – but the mayor describe

You are probably joking, but I think it's actually very important to look at the language we use around LLMs, in order not to get stuck in assumptions and sociological bias associated with a vocabulary usually reserved for "magica

Pretty cool! If you go to the index page it tells you what it is; a studio for design and code based in Switzerland. https://ertdfgcvb.xyz

Does anyone outside the US have a great time with Kagi? I tried it for a few months but found it to be very US focused. Perhaps I just didn't spend enough time shaping my queries.

Indeed! I think this is what makes this so fun. I can also highly recommend listening to various recordings of the moonlight sonata and notice how different it is depending on the precise timing the pianist uses.

The only thing I changed from the default parameters was Age == Teenager. That resulted in this error: We detected that generated image contains nude content. Try changing parameters. Not sure what to make of this, but it feels wrong, someh

Cherry-picking data to support your biases hardly falls under the category of rationalist coverage. Just like the radical environmentalists, Lomborg seems particularly prone to his biases. Unfortunately, reality is more complicated than wha

Curious how much you backup, which version of restic you're running and why you think the deduplication is borderline unacceptable. There were several major (orders of magnitudes) improvements made to pruning within the past ~1 year, t
