Can't believe it's come down to this in 2026, but if this does not beep incessantly and slam on the brakes when maneuvering around some foliage I'm all in.

What if AI did not exist and the labor market expanded 50% overnight?

Hover on the green button??? I've used a personal and work Mac daily for over a decade. I had no idea. Thanks!

I meant it when I said these smaller models are great. They open up entirely new use cases and I appreciate the work that went into creating them. If you don’t consider testing the…

My lovely interaction with the 270M-F16 model: > what's second tallest mountain on earth? The second tallest mountain on Earth is Mount Everest. > what's the tallest mountain on ea…

Pressure treated wood is a very common outdoor building material.

Did you end up discovering the original password to the zip file? (was it, as I'd hope, `TIMBOBIMBO` ?)

Nice bit of sleuthing here, well done. Anyone know where those search traffic graphics are made from?

My point was to illustrate that our physics models don't agree on the nature of this expansion (Hubble tension) so using it to dismiss the fact that the observable universe is dens…

> Equating the Schwarzschild radius for a given blob of matter with the event horizon of a black hole requires that the matter be static or collapsing. If the space containing the …

Let's not forget that the radius of the observable universe is ~= the Schwarzschild radius i.e. we're all almost certainly inside a black hole ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blac…

> Because this storage system’s query language is more powerful than the underlying one’s, its read operations in general may overfetch and then filter results. Seems like this is …

The feature where it tells me the weather. I'd say there's about a 80% chance that it loads the forecast in under 5 seconds. Loading the radar has far worse performance - it only w…

This would be an awesome feature. It would be a good resource for plant identification and I won't inadvertently introduce an invasive species into my local environment.

I can't bring myself to believe that bollards are the answer. Placing them everywhere would be exceptionally expensive. Emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic more often. Ca…

Very cool graphic. However emphasizing the juxtaposition between pictures of wood joints on the internet and actual real-life wood joints with the phrase "digital" is a bit perplex…

This must be what "doing your own research" looks like. Maybe try here instead of squinting at single time series of Durban: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/downloads/report/IPC…

There's no right answer. I suspect a few things are going on here. 1. The teacher forgot to include that the University wants 100 responses to the survey. 2. Missing answer C likel…

Sure looks like a bank run. I'll set the line on an official entry here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_runs at 4.5 days.

Cryptocurrency has many advantages to centralized fiat money. Narrator: It doesn't.

Hooks are obviously not stateless - I'm saying they were an inevitable consequence of the push towards functional components and that they represent an inferior development experie…

React's push towards a functional model with all the use* hooks is so sad to watch. A stateless programming model in a domain where state is so fiercely coupled to program utility …

The perquisite to successful DAO's is actually a strong centralized universal identity system (which is ironically counter to cryto-bro anarcho-capitalists philosophies). From ther…

Mandates? "Since last June, Google has approved nearly 14,000 employees globally to transfer to a new location or go fully remote, Casey said. About 15% of applications have been d…
