Not OP, but I would guess: "hydration breaks" to inject commercials, half-time shows that felt alien to much of the core audience, and various rule-bending shenanigans (Ronaldo, Ba…

We show many signs of stopping our infinite expansion. As for why we want dexterous robots, the obvious answer is to do things that we don't want to do. Things that are back-breaki…

"I think this guy is dumb and wrong. Oh no, this dumb wrong guy is going to have outsized influence on a project I'm interested in. Oh no, this dumb wrong guy may profit from a pro…

One thing I really appreciate about KOReader is that it runs on so many devices. I like its stock experience, and I can have that experience on my Supernote and on my Kobo, and syn…

Do you have any examples of "a single note for minutes and get it to sound amazing"? I'm finding this difficult to imagine. A lead voice doing this while some accompaniment is chan…

Charitably, you could read this as "its overall intelligence [is in a class that] ranks second only to [that of]..."

Depends what happens next. RSUs are taxed as ordinary income at their market value at the time they vest, so it's not necessarily bad if the stock is down. In fact, the ideal scena…

Your own link contradicts the assertion you’re making about the origin of the fire.

I'm not speaking in vague generalities here. New features in C# do not stop you from writing old C#, and they never have. Here's code that uses the delegate keyword introduced in C…

In my experience they absolutely do. The houses by and large aren't very well designed or insulated, and electricity isn't that cheap. In the southeast I rarely see home thermostat…

This is not how new language features work in C#.

You commented on this thread! You must be involved! Prison for you.

My impression is that voluntarily child-free people have a very low regret rate, but there are dozens of conflicting studies on this. Interested if you have anything concrete to li…

What does his status as a foreigner have to do with ruining Windows? You can't think of any homegrown American CEOs that systematically ruin their products and companies?

Individuals have faced federal charges and served prison time for reselling copyrighted content. I don't see the same happening to AI execs.

On formatting: having the big-text snippets occur before they do in the main body was jarring. I think it's more normal practice to lift out specific quotes after they have occurre…

The conclusion of the piece is that this is no longer a uniquely American phenomenon.

I got a 4700k in 2013 for 200 bucks from Microcenter. The thing has been continuously in service ever since. It's my "homelab" box now.

It can be both.

I'm not sure if payment is involved, but I've heard Orthodox Jews can and do seek non-Jewish help when they need e.g. light switches toggled on the Sabbath.

I see what you mean. I still ask friends for rides to the airport, but you're probably right that it's a shallower net than I might have cast without rideshare apps.

Facebook, sure, but Uber and AirBNB? I don't see how Uber has displaced some community function. AirBNB is arguably destructive to communities, but again how was community fulfilli…

I've never understood the "teaching to the test" argument against these tests. Take a look at some of the math SAT sample questions: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/dig…

...why wouldn't it be? Who cares if e.g. Greenland has near-zero total emissions if nearly nobody lives there? Emissions are a cost of human existence, of course absolute emissions…

Drives me crazy too, but headline writers/editors were addicted to "quietly" long before LLMs. Online journalism has been full of these types of tropes for ages.
