Agree with the absurdity. I also had to look at are there other absurd but real things. Estimating at 4.2 trillion in oil revenue is about $500 per person globally. Until you factor in the uneven distribution of that revenue what seems lik

I think if anything LLLM has taught us... its that AGI will not be predictable. The idea of an intelligence being consistent as it becomes more capable is probably not a good assumption. However I think everyone will settle for consistently

I think you just made my point. If designing an eScooter you'd look at available power needed across the problem space. Even more so you might put in a safety features like a temperature monitor so electronic components don't fail

I think maybe this misses the mark. Yes software can lead to unbounded complexity unlikely many physics based engineering disciplines. However, at the end of the day, there is an input and output and compute and memory needed to run the t

Mewing is something intended to address this, but evidence isn't there. Everyone wants a non-invasive solution rather than jaw expanders, braces, retainers etc.. so depending on where your bias, you might be against "Big-Ortho&q

There's definitely an existential question around if fusion will ever be able to beat renewables plus batteries, but who knows with our energy demands ever increasing at some point renewables may hit a breaking point in land cost. I&#x

Another way of looking at it is CDK's main product is an ERP tailored to the automotive industry. These aren't systems with short setup times and there is major risk to trying to replatform you're accounting system. How do

A few quick googles... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_timelike_curve as usual early thinkers on General Relativity were already going down this road.

Lately I've wondered... what if this flow of time wasn't true? at least not at universe scale? Messier than just gravitational affects but actual weird topography in time? There is nothing scientific about this conjecture, simply

Ditto as to living in "Dallas" proper. Tweets from Delkus and the Fort Worth National Weather Service are the main way I pay attention to new developments. Typically stuff will get posted there before live TV coverage starts. The

Watches are common, indicators are common, warnings tend to be very last minute. I consider myself a very weather aware person living near the edge of tornado alley in Dallas, I get all the alerts, generally keep a strong watch on radar dev

I see what you are saying. My comment was more geared towards how a Zillow number or KBB number could move the market and I didn't consider that in the context of the article about rent. It would be interesting to see if how rent marke

Definitely think housing is more easily manipulated since there's little standardization of the condition of a house or the materials or features that would drive pricing. (sq foot, # bedrooms/bathrooms/pool/garage size,

Even a hybrid mission with humans in orbit doesn't make sense. You have to bring less fuel for landing/take-off from Mars. But for that same cost you could send way more robotic workers and just deal with speed of light/delay

The install of postgres was relatively trivial, it did however raise many licensing questions and I don't think we even had a lawyer on retainer to talk through it. This also made it weird because of license reasons, we couldn't a

Worked at a medium size enterprise and was trying to get some detailed performance metrics with a legacy tech stack that didn't have a drop-in APM soluion. This was in the age of graphite which was great for aggregating metrics cheap b

It's self-selecting. If the relationship was not in a healthy state to begin with, divorce doesn't fix that dysfunction. It's full admission the relationship between two people isn't something both parties can come toget

I'd agree and my comment is more of a critique on the evolution of American society leading away from community building. Whether it be subtle things like suburban homes with giant privacy fences or larger topics like the affordabilit

This would be awesome... When I'm in a rabbit hole trying to find a product and I see three or four of roughly the same design I know not to bother any further unless I can find a reliable manufacturer website.

Depends on the underlying framework on how it isolates processes... I could see this happening in a monolithic JVM application where it pretends there are separate containers, but a fatal error in the JVM will crash the world on that server

That would be an insane practice. The internal overhead is a pain. Repo is a last effort to protect the asset rather than a way to cure an account. Even with repo fees there's no guarantees you're getting that money back and the

Couldn't agree more.... I can imagine the Apple keynote version of this. "Cross-platform apps have never been easier. All the features customers love from native now on the web... We call it iApps."
