I think it's worth noting that we can't even combat the real horrors. The fox is already in the henhouse. The quote that sticks with me is: "We've already lost our first encounter with AI" - I think Yuval Hurari.

If you ever get the opportunity, have a chicken perch on your finger. First thing you'll notice is much lighter they are than they look. Second thing you'll notice is how hot their feet are. A tangible lesson in the importance of

Hey I'm trying to alleviate this issue from a technical standpoint and am trying to find others to join me. It's no cure-all, but the other paths would upend a century of legal precedence. Shoot me a PM if you're looking fo

Still waiting for January and my morning ritual of juicing a small grapefruit into an 8oz ice-filled mason jar. It's a damn shame we haven't figured out how to coerce citrus like we do tomatoes.

When the only evidence of existence is a horrendous rip on youtube, I'm not exactly surprised they don't stock Mr. Haangala's sophomore offering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZWftEpqRWQ

The way I read it:they inserted the manager as a litmus test AGAINST aggression / toxic culture. Kind of like when a psychology test is given, the __thing__ they're trying to measure is always one level removed / abstracted

Furthering the love, without the cursing, bent tweezers, and ruined retainer clips (getting the connectors out of the casings sometimes results in all of the above), you can purchase pre-crimped wires, then assemble as needed ( https:/

If you haven't done yourself the favor already, read the referenced story, Borges' "Funes the Memorious". It, like most of his work, is a pearl of simplicity and haunting implications.

This sounds extremely appealing as I either have to take the performance hit and nose through the entire debug log to get to where the error occurred, or have errors occur and not be able to reconstruct the events that drove them. Any tips

There are no step-by-step guides for living your life. If there were, the only person who could write them would be you 20 years in the future. If you were to follow them, the person who wrote them would not exist, because the wisdom of k

If posts with multiple paragraphs encircling a topic seems suspect, then we're all guilty. Their points are cogent. If they've dressed the arguments in robes of "purple", so be it.

Isn't the real mis-step of this study that they put the rats on a HFD 3 (three!) days before testing? I thought it was common knowledge that the transitory periods of ketosis elevate blood lipids until your body adapts to its new food

Wow I didn't scroll down far enough. The gang is back together (Liebeck and Rawdon) and they even threw in Kroo for good measure. This has all the heavy hitters gathered under the same roof.

I'm about a decade out, so I'm sure the SOTA has moved the goal-posts, but the work I did in grad(ish) school revolved around making end-effectors (fancy word for robot hands) that could both grab a styrofoam cup, and grab a wet g

Does MQTT offer anything novel to the call/response problem if it's not just updates (e.g. battery controlled nodes that need to know when to wake up and act)? I started developing a system ~a decade ago and ended up writing my ow
