Stack overflow is pretending to be Claude now. I wonder if one can get it to say your question had already been asked.

It use to work but chrome on android shows the datalist items as a horizontal scrollable row above the keyboard (useless) and ignores input (even more useless) on windows it shows the datalist as a scrollable popup (confusing?) and ignores input (useless) while firefox on android completely ignores datalist and on windows you have to click the input twice to have the initial list show up.

It took forever but safari mobile got it right.

Extra fun to be had if you attempt to dynamically update the list.

Conclusion: utter garbage, stay away from it.

I just typed this by hand (lol) in 3-4 minutes:

This is what we are waiting for? This is what is taking so long for browsers to support?

Unschooling 5 days ago

Ricardo Semler created a school where where kids could pick what to do. He described a fascinating process where some kids only played video games for a good while. They were far far behind then discover that other kids learned all kinds of things like reading and writing. They dropped gaming, learned to read/write incredibly fast then stuck with that study speed and raced ahead of everyone. The joke seems to be that it was their own choice, not a forced labor prison sentence.

Not at all, people incapable of caring for others can also contribute wonderfully but they operate entirely different. It is arguably mean to expect our behavior from people who feel nothing for other people and your generosity is weakness to be exploited. They do however have great respect for that what scares them shitless which can be upgraded to unmatched respect if the scary thing helps them when they most need it. Could be a person or an organization. In the old days they have wives. lmfao

I've thought about it and decided the animation wont do.

The page needs a generated video with giant cockroaches, mechs, 3 men in supper hero gear with swords & lab coats and there needs to be a puny human being saved. Then a dark voice narrating how the man created an unmaintainable mess using llms and that after a fierce battle that lasted a week he was saved by team slopfix. Beethoven symphony No. 5

Gradually, over a 2 hour movie, change the protagonist from a white guy into a black woman and the villain from a black man into a white woman without the plot ever accounting for it.

The whole point of delegation is to free up time to do something else. There is a store here where the owner always runs around like a madman. I ask him why he doesn't have his employees do all those things (they mostly stand idle chatting) He said: Then I have to explain everything and they will probably do it wrong.

If I'm getting a $200 mowing bill it could be worth looking at the machines. If I pay you $4 per week I wouldn't worry about it.

He was praising the degree not himself. The exercise doesn't make philosophers, they study their work. If your only tool is a hammer that doesn't mean it isn't a marvelous tool.

you can always find a plausible sounding excuse why failure is inevitable.

Exactly! This is the mind set. So tell me, how do you progress when you are there?

Or even better, now that we've accumulated many people conditioned by streaks of failure, how do we maximize their productivity and tax revenue? Should be an easy question for you :)

I have very low expectations for $2 per hour. If I would feel the need to use such service I would expect them to cut all corners. If you have a subscription for a decent LLM, know how to get my data into it and know how to write a prompt that does the job you might have 3 skills I don't or I might not have time to do it.

If the lawn looks great you get to do it again. I could ask the guy you send how much you are paying him and I could ask you how much the mower costs but it wouldn't necessarily be a good use of my time.

Similarly, the ability to start your own business is difficult for most people

Ah right, after a 14 hour shift you've left your car half way as that was how far she could take you. You are now on your knees with the god of all migraines, around you are small mountains of laundry as you fail to repair the washing machine while your ramen gets cold. Your mind locked in a loop, if I pay this bill how will I buy food, I need to pay this bill, I need to buy food. Then POOF suddenly it strikes you that you could start your own business. Adrenaline rushes though your veins. The whole business lasts about 20 seconds before you wake up in the laundry, shit what time is it, fk I have to walk to work.

I think of it as a species trying different formulas until one sticks to the wall. (it never does) Eventually, one way or the other, we will go full grasshopper and burn everything to the ground again, we have that part down to an art.

We will again (proverbially) ride our horse to the saloon with our gun (or sword) hanging from our belt, we will play poker, smoke, drink, sing, dance and hang out with the guys - only to have each one of those things taken away again.

It's a fascinating bit of biology to see a species collectively sacrifice its well being for the benefit of one man almost entirely without getting something in return.

Not to argue rich people never did anything useful for humanity. The pun is that one may be promoted to great status for doing great things but after that there is no obligation to continue doing great things.

We are in an endless war against the great void and we've appointed many generals who at best couldn't care less about the war and at worse joined the dark side.

You've paid the man and now you get to see books you like fly into the great nothingness. Funny as hell! He showed non of the kindness and generosity he is known for?

You should give him more money, maybe something different happens next time.

haha

Yes yes, and no. The k was obviously wrong, I cant believe I wrote that. lol

But you cant just drop the p. The p means you won't even get that.

This part seems correct tho:

...so it would take 50 km of panels to power one high speed train.

160 MWh/km * 50 km = 8 GWh = 8 000 000 kWh

High-Speed train after acceleration uses about 30 kWh/km

8GWh / 30kWh = 270000km

A typical high speed train in Europe drives between 300 000 and 450 000 km/year

The 50 km solar wouldn't be enough.

A passenger train using 6 kWh/km could drive 1 350 000 km using 50 km of solar.(27000 km/km)

There is about 10 000 km of high speed rail in the EU and about 200 000 km of rail in total. All combined trains travel some 4.1 billion km per year.

4 100 000 000 km / 27 000 km = 151 851 km

It fits but very slowly.

We should order the 72 888 480 panels. If they cost 50 euro each it would only cost 3.6 billion.

Took them 3 years to install 48 so 72 million would take 4.5 million years.

Maybe the Chinese can help.
