   I have been a "repair mentor" at our "repair studio" for 3+ years. It's very rewarding. We did have to set some ground rules: (clean your fan/vac, bring batteries, etc). Collaborated with our local library.

   Great security talk about how humans aren't setup to deal with LLMs as tools. I love the bullet point(s) : we don't trust [aircraft] pilots to catch automations mistakes (e.g. autopilot), but we are expecting humans to catch LLM m

   In addition to Jeff's comments in this thread, I am guessing all of his purchased gear is capital expense for an LLC he runs for his youtube channel. That makes it deductible from personal tax. (again, all guesses, but a common pattern

   Tying a bowline is one of my fidgets. Also famously has a part in Jaws (1975), though not mentioned by name. ("Hey! I got it!")

   Just by the headline I suspected this was first class amateur. So many great videos. That being said, use cord locks, not knots. You can often shorten the drawstring, and you will never lose one end into the waist.

   Through a combination of two of my hobbies, I learned that pyrethroids are toxic to aquatic animals. Glad to see that they used "locations [that] were situated away from waterbodies". Pyrethroids are very powerful tools for insect

   Yes I realized after reading the response that we would control the permissions. What may not be obvious is many organizations have gatekeepers that don't understand IAM and would just not permit this at all. On the technical side, you

    Thanks for this. Another tool in the box is always welcome. We desperately need more competitors in this arena. Please take this as loving feedback. We need more of this! This use case is very dear to my heart. I have tracked over a dozen p

    I don't understand this style decision in web page design. I don't want to read content like a receipt from the grocery store. I instantly go to Reader Mode in my browser when I see pages like this. Is this because of phones? Why

    I created a ycombinator account after years of resisting, just to respond to this post. Stop creating web pages with huge-ass gutters/margins. If you are concerned about design you would realize your page looks ridiculous and borderlin
