Oh, I see that now. That makes it so much more interesting as a puzzle. I'll have to try again with that in mind. Got up near 20 but couldn't get past that. Played for like 45 minu…

That was really not meant to be the focus of my comment, but that range definitely seems high, from all those that I know in the field. You have to also factor in the significant a…

That's a an honestly upsetting statement. My wife is a pediatric critical care physician and there is not an evil bone in her body. She works her tail off, is (in my opinion) under…

This is great news! I worked on the redesign and replatform with last.fm when they were part CBS Interactive. They were a lovely team of engineers and designers who cared about the…

It's really hard for me to tell from the video what this does exactly. I can infer the premise but it's unclear how this works. I've used other keyboard locking tools in the past t…

Wow, that is incredible. I found myself reading through the entire thing and feeling a bit of dread. I'm impressed, this was like a plausible sci-fi read – maybe not by 2035 but cl…

Am I understanding correctly that this Nobel prize is for work that was completed over 20 years ago? I'm not a biologist but it sounds like they discovered regulatory T cells toget…

I just realized I was listening to news of the 911 attacks in the background for at least 20 minutes. Then heard the sound of static as it changed to a different stream. Super cool…

Isn't that true for other companies that survived the times? That the bubble created extreme highs before it burst and now the companies have grown more naturally? For example, Int…

I read that as needing funding. Somebody has to pay for the research. In order to get it funded, you have to show your research has a basis. My interpretation anyway.

Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

I'm 10 minutes in and find the narrator is a bit hard to understand. There isn't much in the video beyond the audio, at least in the first part, so maybe the storytelling improves.…

I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t think the article is misrepresenting the study. The research looked at over 1.2 million children and specifically examined whether incre…

I've been doing this for many years and am pretty happy with it. I can sync from my Android and my wife's iPhone. The Photos app is nice and smooth. Backups happen automatically in…

How would an AGI prevent others from competing? Sincere question. That seems like something that ASI would be capable of. If another company released an AGI, how would the original…

I’ve shared this opinion for a while, and would love to hear more informed opinions. Do you have any links to articles you’d recommend reading?

I broke my iPhone 12 mini and part of me died that day. A tired dad moment – set the phone on the trunk lid when getting my kid in the car and then later opened the trunk. It slid …

It’s hard enough for bike teams to get sponsorship. Adding that burden on the sponsor could kill the sport.

Same here. 3.5 year old and one year old twins. Poor sleep and just general fatigue most days. It’s hard to convey to those who sleep well how challenging it is to be constantly sl…

Good to know that Oregon released this, thank you. Do you know how it compares to FreeTaxUSA?

I really like and use https://darebee.com .

What did you mean when you later referred to it as damaging and addictive?

This account is just a few weeks old, and seems to just be repeating the same claim.

I’m actually giving a presentation tomorrow to my team about a tool I was building to leverage our runbooks (came out of a hackathon) and this just blows my app out of the water. I…

Portland checking in. Those storms were gnarly and there was carnage all around us. Luckily we maintained power and internet. We have 11 month old twins and a three year old so 10 …
