Watterson was known for being very much a stickler for the format and color of the comic. He'd eschew printing norms for the Sunday format and more or less force papers to either p…

Picking only the tail ends of the distribution also tells me you don't understand how the bulk of progress is made. It isn't always Eureka moments but also a slow grinding away at …

Turns out, if we feed data in and query it in the right way, we can come to charts that allow bad conclusions just like any other. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/01/16/lucky-char…

There's a difference between Trump says populist things and Trump does populist things. Much like "saying things I want to hear" and "saying things I need to hear." For your factor…

Interesting you'd think I know about 1980's Hong Kong political handover of power and not know about whatever whataboutism you're spouting. Truly remarkable.

I believe this is the correct response. We're not going to debate the measuring stick when the stick itself is incapable of measuring the outcome. In none of those scenarios provid…

To a lot of people, that's out of the fire and into the frying pan.

How do you balance the struggle to recognize your own greatness while also making time to engage with the little people? Also, how much time would you say it's taken you to refine …

I feel this disregards of scarcity economics. Let's say we have a finite amount of cheap water units between us. After exhausting those units, the price to acquire more goes up. Ea…

And therein is the problem - if your robots take up so many resources I can't have my dishwasher, is that your right? Is your right to being happy more important than others?

> If you could accomplish your task without the busywork, why wouldn’t you? There's taking away the busywork such as hand washing every dish and instead using a dishwasher. Then th…

It helps provide a launching point or springboard. We know, going in, this isn't the final product but enough to get boilerplate and momentum.

I'm seeing the worst of both worlds where a human support engineer just blindly copies and pastes whatever internal LLM spit out.

Also see the VW dieselgate and numerous other "gaming the system" examples.

US states do this frequently - for example, Texas often passes laws that stipulate "cities having a population over...." such that only the major cities have laws applied to them o…

Ok - so here's an example I can provide input on. I have a bunch of white oak from a tree I cut down and had milled into lumber. I wanted to make a bunch of benches for friends/fam…

This reminds me of the demotivator with pictures of cogs. > Just because you are necessary doesn't mean you are important. https://despair.com/cdn/shop/files/worth_6b813282-f9f8-41…

Lean to buying/doing a conversion vs "polished" ebike. Buy the best lock you can afford - it should be a grinder resistant one such as hiplok or litelok. Note that while the lock m…

Ok-but you make a sweeping statement about the impact to safety and ATC numbers in the wake of an air tragedy - do you expect me to weigh this as heavily as COVID? While I agree wi…

So are we just going to ignore COVID as an impact on the most recent staffing issues?

I agree. Reading their alternatives, it strikes me with "ZCTA's are the worst form of small area aggregation except for all others." Its not a great geography to use but it is quit…
