Yes, honest person that I am even I think “is the reason this isn’t working because I am not capable of gaming the system”. But all that money goes to farms orders of magnitude big…

Well, I should say it was sheep —> artisan cheese, which is in my view one of the few paths to viability for a small sized farm. It’s definitely not big enough for producing a comm…

I want to address something mentioned in the article about people wishing for for grounded occupations. I have a sheep farm and I could not keep it running without my tech salary. …

This is fascinating! I'm going to try this on a certain clip from Jurassic Park.

They are literally on vacation and will do absolutely nothing.

I TA’ed for Harriet, she’s awesome!

As someone who raises horses and other animals, I can say with pretty high certainty that most of the horses were not allowed to "retire". Horses are expensive and time-consuming t…

Was wondering about that but then came across this passage in the paper: “ The last date on which a transient was observed within a nuclear testing window in this dataset was March…

I think this expresses how many of us feel very eloquently.

Professor Felleisen, is that you?

Forget the "AI" label, this has been a goal of pricing people for ever. Who knows how good they are at it (note: used to work for a consulting company that specialized soley in pri…

I love videos like this. Shenzhen looks like a great urban environment. But ... on a second watching all I could see were the cameras everywhere.

My variation is that i heat the chamber until the water boils, alone. Then turn off the heat, plop in the portafilter, screw on the top, and turn the heat on low and watch it until…

I am really appreciating the IANAH and TINHA side effects of your post :)

Oh my brain edited out the "unfair" part in the original question, I assumed it was just asking about higher value/tax. I think that an urban farm, baring some very extenuating cir…

So in the article, it actually says "U.S. auto dealers will be able to sell vehicles on the tech company's platform". This implies dealers aren't out of the loop -- but the only th…

If you own a farm in a city or area with high housing demand, yes, I think it would. (edit: and I'm not meaning this to be a sarcastic response -- there are urban farms).

I know that these kind of write-ups by universities tend to overstate the importance of research. However, it's nice to see a write up that at least on the surface goes into some f…

Right, network effects -- benefits accrue as power of population size. That's a good point. And the stagnation is a depressing thought. I naively hope that if we can survive this p…
