From a practical perspective this makes perfect sense to me. But we do know the photons travelled over a period of time, right? Where those photons came from, ‘now’ is something else. Though it doesn’t matter practically, those events did o

As I recall, I went with it because it supported the best dive features. I used it for that quite a bit for a while, but eventually realized my basic cheap dive watch worked fine, could take a beating, and was actually better rated for deep

I was on the Ultra for 18 months or so and came away from it feeling like a much less powerful and capable Garmin is much nicer as a daily watch. I found myself wanting to find reasons/excuses to justify the Ultra. Ultimately I couldn&

I agree, more context would be helpful. In my mind there are two components of this that are in direct tension though, regardless of numbers: 1. Humans having to review ad content is legitimately traumatizing and awful 2. Automated systems

I'm torn on this. I do want safer vehicles and I do see a path to get there with this technology. What I don't want is companies training their technologies with legitimate risk to the public, with a clear pathway to profiting off

I wonder if this pertains to crop trees. A lot of crop trees are trained to stay smaller or grow in helpful shapes, such as with espalier training.

Not OP but my guess is that they're already using bad AI images for their kebab business, and OP wants them to use better AI for their images (so they may actually lose fewer customers because the AI imagery isn't so awful)

Yeah, important to note that the way the label is used has deviated from its historic meaning. Colloquially it’s something like “someone who rejects new technology” with variable reasons as to why, but historically there’s more nuance and i

PMTiles is the underlying technology I believe. We use it on oceanconnect.ca and in my opinion it’s pretty awesome. Very efficient to store and retrieve, and cut our S3 PUT request costs by something like 90% across the project.

I wrote a while back about some coho fry populations I found which would have benefitted tremendously from dams. Each day I returned I would find more and more empty pools along the river, picked clean of fish where I’d previously seen doze

There are only papers which suggest this could be true, none that conclusively prove it. That I’m aware of. There are some cool studies done where people with a without ADHD are tasked to forage berries. The people with ADHD do better and a

I was only 2 in ‘88, but the story is the same from my perspective. I think so much about how to get my city to incentivize more manufacturing industry. The small amount we do have is the most lucrative use of the space in the municipality

The comment is a question; I’m not sure why one answer or another would make it irrelevant.

Haven’t they actually done a relatively good job in this regard in many ways? I can still use my 12 year old MacBook Air. It’s not super current and not all apps work, but it’s actually still a decent Apple experience. Same with our old iPa

Definitely. I was only responding to the statement that sugar is a necessity for energy if you’re moving around a lot. You can do this without sugar.

by steve_adams_86 26d ago
Kind of; humans do adapt remarkably well to low-glucose diets, and we can produce glycogen without sugary inputs via gluconeogenesis. They do make it much easier, though.

It’s quite poor given that you don’t get to have a life outside of work, too. I’d start to think that sounds great if it was a 4 day work week, but 7… Bizarre.

Fastmail is the service I've paid for longer than any other, without any pauses, and with the most satisfaction of any subscription. Like the author says, email isn't exciting, it isn't a fun or interesting subscription, but

I'm not a drinker, but I think we shouldn't be so strict about it. I usually have a drink once every few months or so, and frankly I don't really care about the impact it has on my health. I suspect it's so minuscule as

Claude Code also does this. It’s a little broken, though. It gets hung up on nested commands and behaves strangely.

I encounter this regularly and it still feels weird. That sense that you did something better in a few days than you would have in a month 5 years ago. It's like buying a table saw for wood working. One crazy thing I think about often

That's worth pointing out, definitely. I'm aware that perhaps most people on earth wouldn't think this is a weird position to hold; it's largely my critique of him from a subjective point of view. There are massive popul
