Claude can’t have lunch yet.

The book has plenty of prurient private-jet-boardgame stuff, but also deals directly with facebook's adoption in Myanmar at at time when the inflammatary online speech was directly…

I tripped over the double-entendre of the teaser quote and then found it ironic that the author is a copy writer. >> “AI agents are the future of software development. We won’t nee…

I started reading this and it gave a strong whiff of Richard Stallman’s “the right to read” - once dystopian and now a commonplace. Then I started scrolling and thought the author …

Ha! I remember experimenting with coins on strings as a kid in the early 90s. What a rush when i realized it worked.

xe.com is competitive with wise rates and answers the phone. My KYC/AML journey was brief and they came through within their stated timeframe. However all of the online companies s…

I live in Washington and bats occasionally wander into our cabin. As others have pointed out, there is a difference between pre-exposure (Vaccination) and post-exposure protocols. …

Thanks for posting. There are many things down this rabbithole and I hadn't seen pico.sh before. The github repo has the sources for the backend, but the services themselves are ac…

I came here to say this. `git gui` is nearly ubiquitous and has saved me for years from learning how to use `git add -p`. I don't use many graphical git tools but its options "stag…

On the contrary, this patent could now be useless even if it doesn't get invalidated: It's expired for future use, and according to Sparkfun's response it can't be asserted against…

One aspect of this defense was failure to mark: A previous owner of the patent produced processors covered by the patent but did not mark them as such. It turns out that systematic…

I have been suspicious of their cloud config and run a docker image of the controller locally. I'm still on version 5.14 and all of the cloud features are optional. I just ignore t…

Thanks for the throwback. We LOVED the collect call thing as teenagers too cheap to drop a quarter into the phone: - "You have a collect call from AtTheStationMyBusLeavesIn18Minute…

Do you scan 35mm slides? It turns out a family member needs this service. If you unpause it, my email is in profile.

This is an enlightened and contrarian POV and I'm glad for it.

I'd be curious to know more about this: are there specific industries or settings where it's used and valued?

+1 for synology NAS. The quality and frequency of updates has been high. I've used both rsync and Time-Machine based backups. And I too like that it's a hardware business model: I …

I'm a little confused about the mall operator's incentive to do this. Are they using ALPR for their own security and voluntarily sharing the reads? Is the provider giving them a di…
