I don’t think Utopia lets you buy it now? In the past you could.

I do a lot of work in the AEC space. This is an interesting idea but I don't find the results very compelling. There are huge houseplan catalogs out there full of mediocre plans. I…

Why does the website look like a video game?

I’ve tried this and it says it will but just keeps cutting in. I hate this feature so much.

Did you use the web back in 1995? It was fun, but it also sucked compared to what we have now. Nothing is ever perfect, but I wouldn’t want to go back.

> I think this could work if you did this at the time your company launched, but the moment you have employees who have Apple IDs tied to their work email that aren't from the Busi…

I think the idea is that it happens before they lock the domain as a business. Before that, if you have an email address you can create a personal account with it.

I just hope that people remember this is just one factor affecting quality of life and making a city work. "Density at all costs" ignores a huge set of tradeoffs that are equally a…

I think you're thinking of the efficient-market hypothesis. The hypothesis is that prices reflect all available information, and "available information" is the key part. The "stron…

I’ll take 500ms ping for those speeds while temporarily on a plane.

Ok, wow… “The fishermen who first discovered the poor stranded whale started the procedure by poking its eyes out, so that it would "not be able to see us." Over the next two days,…

I’m sorry you have to make do with that setup. I’d upgrade to an M5 Pro 64GB right away. In fact, your old one has no value. I can safely dispose of it for you.

This is not true. This person is spreading disinformation. They were closed because the Cold War ended and they were no longer needed.

This crosses from quirky to unhinged: During a phone order one season – 2018 I believe – a customer shared this story where he smuggled some Vidalias onto his vacation cruise ship,…

This made me think of something I came across recently that’s almost the opposite problem of requiring PDFs to be searchable. A local government would publish PDFs where the text i…

“every console behaves like it missed the last week of CEC school. They wake the TV, switch the input, then leave the Denon asleep so I’m back to toggling audio outputs manually.” …

Cool experiment. I have a PhD in capital markets research. It would be even more informative to report abnormal returns (market/factor-adjusted) so we can tell whether the LLMs gen…

What? How does an SUV require less power per cf than a sedan? I would think that aero alone would always be worse for an SUV, making sedans more efficient.

I think this is just to make it so that data centers and crypto mining facilities can be built and operated where owners want. Makes it so zoning and environmental regulations can’…

As you said, rare earth elements aren't really rare--they are very abundant. But they are mixed in with themselves (there's 17 of them) and lots of other elements. Think of it like…

I'm all for the government getting stakes in companies that it invests in (see below), but I find it really odd that we already awarded this money to Intel through the CHIPs Act an…

You can just ask Gemini to summarize it for you. It's free. I do it all the time with YouTube videos. Or you can just copy the transcript that YouTube provides below the video.
