A lot of comments are suggestions and/or complaints, so I just came to say I loved it, no notes.

Ok I realize you're making a point, but 10 launches a day comes out to about $15 trillion a year, that's like half of the US GDP

Almost everything? Most money for fundamental atmospheric research flows through NASA. People always forget that only half of NASA's budget is for rocketry and human space flight, …

Do you have kids? How would school even work? 20 years ago in high school we were expected to use the internet. And these days internet integration in school is far stronger, my 6 …

My Spanish is infinitely better than it would have been if Duolingo didn't exist, because I don't really have a burning desire to learn Spanish, but I do like playing games on my p…

When I bought my Leaf last year, I actually didn't have range anxiety because I assumed the infrastructure was better than it actually was. But I'm shocked that at most places I dr…

FWIW, I fed in the same problematic prompt to all the current ChatGPT models and even the legacy/mini models enumerated a bunch of pitfalls and considerations. I wonder why/how it …

Yeah 8 hours would be quite a bit for a day. I'll tell you our use case. We receive a large dump of data 2 times a week, and we spin up 5 machines to process the data files. We hav…

The best part about the cloud for me is that it scales down to ZERO. We used to get large on-prem servers that could handle the worst case, only for them to sit idle 90% of the tim…

Sorry, to clarify, after I received a profound effect from the drug I scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ADHD and I have been on my own prescription…

When I was 20 and in college, I used to work at a Barnes and Noble. When I was working the registers one day, I apparently forgot to put a $300 gift card in a lady's bag at checkou…
