This analogy almost works, except about a fifth the hay making machines' output is needles.

This is literally one the most infantilizing and simultaneously insulting analogies I've ever come across on this site. Do you really think consumers of the latest AI tools have no…

I think you'd end up with more plastic from just breathing in air and eating seafood than Invisalign, but I haven't done a study on that.

One-size-fits-all never fits everyone :)

In theory, if a program is written in a high-level language and you have a correct implementation (interpreter, compiler, runtime) of that language on a new system, then the progra…

I'm curious how you've cured your schizoaffective disorder? Diet?

I think your LLM temperature analogy is interesting in this deprecated dichotomy between autism and schizophrenia. One Youtuber Jreg used a breadth-first search (schizophrenia) vs …

Sediments including lead tend to accumulate at the bottom of water heaters, so you'd be measuring the accumulated lead and not the locality's with this assumption.

What a dystopian world we live in where oligarchs controlling anti-trust companies deny medical coverage [0]. Am I surprised this happened... [0] https://www.propublica.org/article…

When we ripped out the carpet to install luxury vinyl flooring it was off-gassing for weeks. Had to go over the vinyl with dozens of microfiber clothes before the outside coating s…

Or it could be that people spend more time in their luxury vinyl planked house, vaping and having ingress air filled with formaldehyde from traffic It'd make more sense and be less…

If you read at least 3 paragraphs in, you'll see that this tool attempts to generate a query using an LLM. Dismissing a tool before attempting to understand it is astounding.

The US owes it to the Vietnamese people to clean up the arsenic, but of course they're never going to do that. I know several elderly Vietnamese who developed leukemia after servin…

For long chats, I suggest exporting any artifacts, asking Claude to summarize the chat and put the artifacts and summarization in a project. There's no need to stuff Claude's conte…

So I tried to search myself just to see how terrible/awesome this product is. On attempting to use the free plan: Error: Failed to subscribe to the plan. You ran out of credits. Pl…

I'm curious how your experience is using Gameface for day-to-day tasks like coding. I assume you still use a keyboard for typing, but what about selecting blocks of text or general…

This is really cool, but there's real-world instrument physics that might not be captured by simple Fourier transform templates, like a trumpet playing softly can have a significan…

That reminds me of Dr. Greenamyre in Pittsburgh who thinks he accidentally gave himself Parkinsons researching rotenone in pesticides [0] [0] https://youtu.be/7mYEqUrx6dQ?si=x4P6pk…

Assuming a lunch break is not included as part of 8 hours, do you really think most exmployees are productive for a full 8 hours? Most office workers spend an exorbitant amount of …

This sounds like the video game Orwell where you investigate social graphs to find dissidents of the state. Of course the NSA has been doing this for years, but their UI probably i…

Well back in my day we had to walk to school in the snow uphill, downhill, work on the farm, raise a family, survive in a capitalist dystopia and stay sane You youngins' just don't…

I'd argue that saline should be the panacea here. I doubt very many people do at-home saline rinses with filtered, sterilized water and a simple mixture of salt and baking soda. Do…

One can also absorb chemicals through the skin (it is the largest exposed organ infact), so I've been thinking of getting a shower or whole-house filter. Definitely upgrade from th…

This is one of the worst over-generalizations. Cultures are not monolithic, static entities. How do we go from "different cultures" to "negative outcomes?" That's a complete non-se…

SmolLM v2 1.7GB Q8 has been running pretty fast. Only needs about 3.5GB of memory. I think it's fine for chatting, but it's only really good for Python code compared to larger mode…
