I was getting a bit stiff recently and thought it might be old age creeping up. I started sleeping on the floor for a few nights on a doubled thick blanket for slight padding and a…

YouTube always makes those things look more feasible than they are in reality. First of all I doubt the 250K a year number just looking at the amount of produce in the field. Secon…

I don't like Meta and have never had a Facebook or Insta account but New Mexico is a large shakedown operation with a state seal. From speed traps targeting out of state plates, to…

So the tendency to hire friends and "cool looking" people instead of smart talented people will get even worse?

I don't broadly disagree and see AI opening up opportunities that didn't exist before but with respect to companies hiring large numbers of people I wonder what the people will be …

It is yes. I failed to make the point clear. The process may need an additional nitrogen source depending on salt content of the fish sauce. Because the required N per volume of wo…

A little salt in compost is fine. Too much is an issue. They actually sell salt based soil amendments for areas that have been depleted of minerals. (Sea-90 is one brand). It's ver…

They could mix it with woodchips and compost it and it would be an excellent soil amendment full of trace marine minerals.

LLMs aren't perfect and they have problems, but often they write better code than humans. At least this human. It seems they run into problems with larger concepts and general orga…

They are building data centers in the Chihuahuan Desert right now. Meta has a huge one planned right outside El Paso.

They are not asserting a fact. They are asserting a possibility. Asserting a possibility is not an assumption.

Yep. I grow around 1/3 of my food and most of my produce in the warm months. I have put a lot of effort into selecting flavorful varieties and making a flavor assisting soil medium…

That would only be because you chose not to distinguish it. The words differ because the sentiment differs. Both sides are not "the same" manifestly. This does not mean both candid…

That doesn't describe the candidates on offer though. Look, I just want good rational, wise, humane low touch governance without excessive political ideology nonsense. I'm sick of …

I didn't say "Both sides are the same". I said both candidates were morons. As far as terms, I don't like really like either side we have on the menu right now.

"when the weapons of mass destruction are found it will be too late!" The composition of the forests changes in managed stands yes. But these are not most stands. And if the hardwo…

I haven't either, but I imagine it being the exact opposite of Dylan's. Kind of a thunderous booming bards tale voice as opposed to nasal whining.

I'm not a fan of Glyphosate but it's just not used enough in forests to be a primary factor in wildfires. Additionally, in the article you link, they are really reaching and again,…

That isn't science that is some activists opinion and the amount of forests actually sprayed with glyphosate is not the majority or even close yet we still have wild fires. The art…

I'm not a big fan of synthetic chemicals in the food supply but I can't help wondering how Glyphosate has made forest fires worse?

Especially Bob Dylan. Nasal whining isn't historical America.

I'm just one small data point, and significantly in the minority I'm sure, but I got chickens and started gardening hard 4 or 5 years ago and get around 1/3 of my food from there.

"If a function needs a new argument, all the callers have to pass it and all of their callers recursively". That is not the case if you default a value in the function. `def foo(x=…
