You are right, I saw what appeared to be a 10X lower value in Wired and posted my misunderstanding prematurely. Here's the the blog post that appeared on HN's top 30 from yesterday…

Related, days ago the BBC reported what I assumed was a typo that the ocean temperature has risen 13.8C the past ~30 years. After reading the article I tried to double check the so…

I lived in a high and dry mountain area and dry-eye disease was making me miserable. It affected the quality of my life and sleep. I ended up spending about $1000 on 3 Venta "air-w…

This video explains hypersonic weapons in the general sense. But the threat is from the newer advanced hypersonic weapons that are steerable at low altitudes. There is no "I know w…

In 1st grade it was an unspoken understanding that Latin kids are put in the slow class. It's understandable since most of us didn't speak English at home. But my teacher realized …

Perhaps. But then we should not let anyone vote who has hit escape velocity. The person you described might be very well off at which point they are a single issue voter -- low tax…

Those guys took the App layout and button graphic without permission from GarageMax (formerly GarageMate/GDMate) and still use that unauthorized graphic. I wouldn't trust anything …

"I thought bleach and alcohol were thought to not create pressure for resistance because of their nature." Agreed, and I missed if this article stated otherwise. Also we have been …

"that goes stale when you'd expect it". Super dumb question, but would fresh baked bread placed in the freezer last a few weeks ? I don't buy fresh baked out of concern most of it …

The video reference the common ChatGPT "in the style of" prompt. Is there a list of what "styles" ChatGPT's model has been trained on ? Or is this information not disclosed since i…

While the photo might not be a good example, in the animal kingdom exposing your neck, like exposing your belly, in an overall non-assertive way would indicate submissiveness. It's…

I often cited example is to write something in the style of "Dr. Suess". Doesn't this imply that Dr. Suess's books are in the training data set ? How can one find out what other bo…

Sorry for the tangent but a surprising number the general public doesn't know the meaning of percent[1]. So even if a teacher is told those percentages many wouldn't know what to c…

In case you want to filter by country, run this admittedly ugly code, in the console. Change 'US' to your country of interest. var jq = document.createElement('script'); jq.src = "…

"The wealthy are ... the only people who have a reason to". IME what matters more than wealth is having health and energy. Exploring ways to reduce your exhaustion might be the bes…

> I can't make myself do that. Then don't. Or maybe you subconsciously don't want to do the work or have no good ideas. That's OK. But I can't see how this cynical attitude serves …
