I routinely run into Claude Opus and Fable making basic mistakes like misunderstanding a simple negation, which would be on top of whatever reliability issues there are with a sour…

While your assessment may be true, I don’t think the mere ratification of the amendment makes the argument. It’s much more complicated. The passing of the 18th was done through a h…

Wait, did you actually claim that most work at FAANGs doesn’t require an NDA and that was evidence to support your accusation?

They used to sell one that was much closer, the Horizon Kompact, that is reasonably available used ( https://shop.lomography.com/us/horizon-kompakt )

Looks to be an AI summary of: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/behavioral-neuroscience... Scienceblog.com is an extremely low quality site. Looks like an old content farm ‘splo…

No. Something genuine has been lost. I used to be able to curate my feed and pay attention to people I knew. I could see the photo projects my friends were working on, hear about l…

Absolutely, I had that in my draft but chopped it out along with a digression into black body radiation.

This is conflating two kinds of pink. The pink made from combining ends of the spectrum is most commonly termed ‘hot pink.’ The other, very often just ‘pink,’ is predominantly a li…

I'm not a hardware expert here but this strikes me as inaccurate, though the actual performance can be scenario dependent. The Jetson hardware is targeted to low power robotics imp…

The story as told may be inaccurate but it wasn’t simply ‘what we had at the time’ either. The 74 minute length resulted from Sony rejecting the Philips 60 minute 11.5cm diameter “…

I read Roger Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind when I was younger. It suggested quantum processes as a last ditch effort for a non-deterministic brain. At the time, I thought it was…

More like, “Gary has a new novel coming out in July”

I made no assertions as to whether or not this was an appropriate trade-off. The issue at hand, however, is not about any particular media content being censored but about the mani…

Simple exposure to culture, propaganda and points of view is child’s play compared to the modern strategy of inciting discord by amplifying existing differences and mass scale disi…

If the only place nearby to kick a ball around with friends is on an incline, turns to mud half the year, filled with dog droppings, pocked by holes in the ground, peppered with fi…

AT&T was broken up based on location, hence the term Regional Bell Operating Companies. I’m not sure how the relative straightforwardness of that approach maps to a company that ba…

Regarding the similarities between Hawaiian and Japanese: There are theories among linguists that there is a connection between Austronesian languages and Japanese. These theories …

So, it’s still no. They sell to a third-party company and forget about it.

You can buy Target return/overstock pallets at auction, and a deals account likely just resells that. Target doesn’t have to deal with it on an item level at that point.

From my experience you just weren’t actually billed until they were done, it could be many hours after you left the store.

I think “Nothing Gold Can Stay” fits the mold. It’s a heartbreaking poem of beautiful construction and depth that is dismissed because it has been heavily cited by popular culture.…

> truly a leap that I’m not sure many at the time were prepared to take. I mean, at least one other company took the leap a few years before Ikea did: Sauder.

Yeah it’s much closer to if Jony Ive worked at Suzuki or something.

I think the issue was playing the same artist or album back-to-back. So they made ‘smart shuffle’ in 2005. ( https://www.wired.com/story/requiem-for-the-ipod-shuffle/ ) A shuffle a…
