Different person here, but I've been using various Supergoop products for years and think they're all excellent. Their "Unseen Sunscreen" dries completely matte but is kind of pric…

Anywhere that far north seems to be skewed by lack of data from Canada. For example, I clicked NE of Seattle (on Bothell specifically) and got a 1200 mi ray that passes right throu…

Orchid's off-putting launch video: https://x.com/orchid_hq/status/2082149144710336976 It's strange to me to position your product as enabling its users to care less about people an…

I'm having a hard time finding any place that produces a ray longer than about 900 miles. I found a spot in NW South Dakota whose shortest rays are nearly 300 miles.

Some of the "slides" have more content than fits vertically in the viewport, and trying to scroll to the bottom to see it without getting bounced to the next slide or back to the t…

Talking to your computer can only ever work for people in atomized work-from-home silos, surely. I can't really imagine living in a world where everybody is just muttering commands…

You can value not pumping out disposable garbage even if the (current) economic regime appears to encourage and reward it.

They actually don't need to sanction Anthropic as a "supply risk" in order to not contract with them, and doing so is obviously an insane overreach.

The military can work with someone else's product or use a bit of their trillion-dollar budget to come up with their own.

This is pure sophistry. Your complaints about the movie's tone and dialogue are strictly and specifically problems of your own taste, not filmmaking quality. The movie is (objectiv…

A movie which doesn't satisfy your specific tastes and expectations in science fiction hasn't "failed".

I don't think this drivel helps explains anything that's not stated in very plain English in DHH's blog.

Flock has a series of bizarre, obviously LLM-generated blog posts trying to convince the public that they are working "toward a future where compliance and community trust walk han…

You'll get a downvote at 500 karma.

It's honestly very hard to even care at that scale.

Does the Containerise extension do what you want? I've used it in the past for wildcard subdomains but not for ports. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/containerise/

I don't get this either. My code doesn't have "base text"...everything is something! I can see that not being the case for something like HTML, but not for most programming languag…

More like the 80s but true. Also maybe worth remembering that Thiel was outed by Gawker. He didn't come out as gay of his own volition and perhaps never would have.

It helps that the rebrand may lead some people to believe that there are actually new and better inputs into the system rather than just more elaborate sandcastles built in someone…

Surely Jim is also using an agent. Jim can't be worth having a quick sync with if he's not using his own agent! So then why are these two agents emailing each other back and forth …

Jim's agent replies, "Thursday AM touchbase sounds good, let's circle back after." Both agents meet for a blue sky strategy session while Jim's body floats serenely in a nutrient s…

You might as well use your natural intelligence instead of the artificial stuff at that point.

Being able to do basic math in your head is valuable just in terms of basic practicality (quickly calculating a tip or splitting a bill, doubling a recipe, reasoning about a budget…
