    I joked a while back that it was faster to vibe-code a white noise generator than to download a white-noise app. I've since tested that theory on the Google Play Store (iOS has one…

    Often think about how the most expensive part of driving in Sydney, especially in an EV, is parking.

    I often think about how nearly everyone in my parent's generation knew someone with polio, but I know nobody from my generation in the world who had polio

    I don't think we can predict ahead of time whether we'll need a leap second or not If the question is "why bother syncing time to Earth's orbit around the sun at all", I don't have…

    The brilliant thing about the smear is that it distributes the new second across each second of the day, so that each second differed by 1/86400 seconds, well within the margin of …

    That's the nature of most venture capital isn't it? Downside is capped, upside is uncapped, why not bet on as many companies as you can?

    Do people here not realise that "second opinions" are a thing because humans disagree with each other when presented with the same case all the time? It's not just an LLM thing!

    Are there any examples of the opposite? Where NewGizmo beat OldGizmo by doing everything OldGizmo did, plus a few extra things?

    If I ordered a chicken burger and got a chicken sandwich, I would be a bit miffed. I think there's an element of expectation-setting when we're talking about authenticity. Personal…
