“Flash” MOE is named for the sloth character in Zootopia I presume?

Alternative hypothesis—-efficiency. Executives are very, very busy. As long as you can figure out what they mean, polish doesn’t add much. (Unless it does because it’s an earnings …

My favorite part about Pratchett is that the characters who are most competent choose to act in the best interest of the less competent “normies” who will never understand or appre…

Interesting. You have me thinking of Candide as an answer to Quixote. In very broad strokes, Quixote says my perceptions and ideals are true and apparent evidence to the contrary m…

Agreed. Competitors will undercut a price that ignores the unit economics, because it’s super easy to do.

> Giving it away for free puts that whole company out of business! It really doesn’t. The more toward “enterprise” a software buyer is, the more what they’re actually paying for is…

The clearest example I’ve seen of this effect is with dental hygienists in the U.S.. Big labor crunch as lots of industry veterans left the labor force during COVID, wage and caree…

“precipitates” ha! Wonderfully evocative.

Fwiw sometimes I wear my APP2 inside my cheap passive 3M earmuffs haha. For an hour or two of use it’s been comfortable enough that I can listen and also attenuate loud tool noise …

Not OP, but I would ban the tickets/prizes mechanism. Depending on how old is “old school” for you, every game in an arcade might be fine. If we’re talking 90’s Chuck E. Cheese, ma…

I’ll play! Chat thinks it’s a kana segmentation error in a list of possible hypothesized problems/causes that get mis-rendered as literal nouns, such as “XML風, 設定方法, 処理の流れ / 処理流” s…

My lingering question is how do you service a leaky pipe surrounded by dirt that’s 600C? Do you just have to forfeit a good chunk of your energy savings for the year? Or is there l…

Yes, the article addresses this explicitly. The key criterion to make it viabile is steady long-term energy consumption for the winter months. Otherwise the cost to rapidly extract…

Brainstorming applications of knowing your angle relative to a point source: - adaptive sports for visually impaired players like beep baseball? - robot swarm members knowing their…

“Sure, your rocket’s reusable, but can it go 300k miles on the original engine?”

Fantastic! Top notch explainer and engaging game. To me it’s important to say that tit-for-tat and the Golden Rule are not the same. My understanding of the two are very different.…

> This is somatic editing. These edits will not be inherited. Genuine question- how do we know that? Is it just that the edits are very improbable to accumulate in the gonads in su…

Congrats! Great video write up also!

I feel this. I had a very productive convo with an LLM today and realized that a huge part of the value of it was that it addressed my questions in a focused way, without trying to…

And they were supported because they were useful labor. Even an unskilled, brand-new apprentice could pump the bellows, sweep the forge, haul wood and water, deliver messages. If i…

Great observation! The legibility or the permission grant matters a lot.

I think it’s more productive to ask, “why would someone attribute a different value to learning about the geography, architecture, and language of a region vs. learning about the c…

I played the demo of Craftomation 101 a while back. It was good! Had a good balance of watching emergent behavior and feeling the need to micro-manage/accelerate the process. Graph…

The main thing is logging into your brokerage account(s) at least once a year so the custodian knows you’re still active. Laws vary by state but a sounds like it’s often 4+ years o…
