It's an improvement but...I've asked it to do some really simple tasks and it'll occasionally do them in the most roundabout way you could imagine. Like, let's source a bash file t…

Lots of progress, but I feel like we've been seeing diminishing returns. I can't help but feel like recent improvements are just refinements and not real advances. The interest in …

Older clothes weren't just made better, people also took care of them better. Partly because of cost, but also culture -- fewer changes in fashion trends with slower and more local…

Quite a few people dumping their trash in the woods illegally have been caught in my area with them. They just need to outlaw private citizens putting them on public property witho…

That...doesn't sound unreasonable.

Not sure what the time/labor looks like, but I'd easily pay $60 bucks for that. You may be able to sell them at $100 and still move quite a few. Honestly if you dressed it up a lit…

Game cams with cellular modems are getting to be pretty common, and you can equip them with solar panels. Basically just set em and forget em. It wouldn't surprise me if this is ma…

Cool project! I'd buy one of these if they were pre-assembled.

I expect there will be some legal disputes over this kind of thing pretty soon. As another comment pointed out: run the AI-detection software on essays from before ChatGPT was a th…

> I expect not smart enough people are buying “AI” products and trusting them to do the things they want them to do, but don’t work. People are willing to believe almost anything a…

I agree with this approach generally, but I needed to use some lua plugins to do something specific fairly quickly, and didn't feel like messing around with it for weeks on end to …

As someone who doesn't generally program, it was pretty good at getting me an init.lua set up for nvim with a bunch of plugins and some functions that would have taken me ages to d…

SPE was fraud, he told the guards to act like "tough guards" and then said publicly “the guards were given no specific instruction or training on how to be guards," which is what m…

NBWM is absolutely fantastic. They have Clifford Ashley's (wrote Ashley Book of Knots) rope and knot collection, and some of his paintings too (he lived on the other side of the ha…

I think doctor assisted suicide is something we should have, but I've read some really messed up stuff about Canada's program. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/06/…

Hope Deere gets what's coming to them and this sets a precedent for other companies. Next on the list should be devices remotely disabled when they're discontinued, which would hav…

> Dr. Robert Cannon, a transplant surgeon at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, described a similar incident during the congressional hearing where Martin’s letter was disclo…

That's what I was getting at

Well it was obviously an ad for "x-ray glasses," not x-ray glasses.

Ignorance wouldn't prevent you from concentrating on a 14-line poem, or from understanding the immediate plot details of a book and how they fit into the plot more broadly. Things …

Big John (mentioned in article) uses Levi's old selvedge denim looms and their jeans are fantastic. Also, I believe William Gibson referred to them in Pattern Recognition .

I guess my point is that we as a society have allowed things to get to a point where some of our brightest students have graduated highschool without ever reading a book, or having…
