    This has always been interesting for me, as I think I have aphantasia but also can vividly experience taste in the same manner as if I'm eating foods. In other words, if I think ab…

    I’ve recently been caught up on noodling on the combinatorics of cooking food. I wonder if a structured recipe format would be helpful to explore the ‘solution space’ of any given …

    Interesting. Also allows for some fun ‘expansion’ in recipes. A leaf node may be ‘chicken stock’ but you could link to a recipe that boils down to that one ‘chicken stock’ node if …

    Think of the word ‘reusable’ in this case as less a binary descriptor but more of a scale of reusability. Yes, both systems are reusable, but there are key differences in the refur…

    Personally, it’s wild to me to think that the ‘freedom’ to eat meat is ever in question. It’d take such a ridiculously over-the-top totalitarian move to make something like that ha…

    I think Apple probably already knows what the 2nd or 3rd gen look like mostly now, anyway. They most likely don’t commit to a product line like Vision without a multi year roadmap …

    By selling soap for a loss for longer than the competitors can stomach. If you have 10 businesses making $100M/yr, you can lose $1B/yr on soap (by selling a $2 bar for $1) and get …

    OpenAI was founded in 2015, well before those models were created.

    There’s a big difference between a query for a fact and a query for a problem. Search engines probably make the big bucks on the latter (users with problems likely spend $ to solve…
