So one thing that always strikes me about vaping is that we ignore the metal heater. It’ a coil of metal that glows, during which it will boil off metal atoms. After a while it has lost so much material that is breaks and needs to be replaced. That metal went into your lungs.
Just tried it. Pretty much anything in electronic measurement equipment comes with this red banner:
“This is a prohibited item. Therefore, it is unavailable.”
This is an example of how twins give us information when one variable is fixed - genetics. Can reciprocal information be found when observing the opposite: adoptees who share no genetic base but had the same upbringing in the same environment?
If all the juicy content moves to the EU, the US will force the EU to open its platform for external access. See what happened to the Swiss banking.
Was expecting an article about
Whenever I sleep with ear plugs, I wake up with brain fog.
Maybe just salt water and skip the filings?
There’s the problem: we want change without giving up the things we’re accustomed to. We’re locked in.
Which ullustrates that humanity has reached such numbers that the smallest collective change has an enormous impact.
This strikes me as weird. In 92/93/94 I was on packet radio, a ham equivalent of digital lora which used hopping to get you to neighbouring countries. Most had 1200 baud, some 9600. I downloaded executables from bbs’es over the air and chatted with likeminded folks. Around that time we also had the first guest lectures about software defined radio with proof of concepts. I find it impossible to believe that a bunch of amateurs in EU were more digitally connected than the folks this thread talks about. Without a monthly payment, mind you.

We all just need a little more iodine in our sodium.
Have you actually looked in that repo? No hardware source and a few things related to sdr or fpga but nothing that allows someone to build this.
Apparently it’s a way to attract attention and support. I’ve been following picoIDE which got some attention here on HN 4 months ago [1]. When asked then where the src is, the answer was in a few weeks. Fast-forward a crowd-supply campaign (no mention 4 months ago) to the tune of 350k and the repo is still empty.
Wind is not a homogeneous movement, there are highways and slow lanes. Spores (as from fungi), pollen (from wind pollinators such as grasses) and dust-like seeds (e.g. from orchids) are ideal nucleation points for condensation. So when wind is forced up (because of changes in the terrain) these are the particles that get filtered out: either physically as precipitation or functionally by freezing.
For those interested, there have been a number of studies that put numbers on the action radius. When genetic manipulation of wind pollinators (e.g. wheat, corn and others grasses) came in vogue they needed to put a number on the dispersal of modified pollen.
I’d like to add construction materials to the list of energy intensive products. Glass, bricks, rockwool and cement.
We still live in an age of deterministic computers. It’s the software that’s become fuzzy. (And since we’re on the subject: there’s no AI)
From my personal experience, the article and the comments I read here they seriously undersold the reliability of rewriting. For any other RW medium (audio or video cassettes, even floppies) I remember ad campaigns by Sony, TDK, Philips, … on tv. But not for these.
If you know the structure of the “tick”, you can apply the technique of a correlation receiver. It can dig up signals below the noise floor and is used in GPS reception.
I did the same thing to evaluate random number generators by drawing pixels with the count value. You see a pattern, line or clusters? Bad generator.
During lockdown I started growing clementine from seed. One of the interesting details of this genus is polyembryonism: multiple seedlings emerging from one seed. Apparently, one of the seedlings will be a clone of the motherplant and the rest will be the product of pollination/genetic reshuffling. My clementine seeds all had 2 seedlings per seed but other attempts (with lemon I think) yielded 3 or more).
During my reading I came across a lot of contradictory info about the origin of the clementine: some papers say it’s an unknown hybrid, other clearly state it’s a mutation instead of a hybrid. So it’s interesting to read the hybrid parentage in this triangle, stated with confidence.
That’s why I switched from map.me to Organic Maps. This one too?
and thousands on conversation on these apps that can't be easily moved elsewhere.
You could do imperfect speech to text and have one illustrate the ongoing conversation.
Same experience here. I have fond memories of “google code”, a search engine for code databases which was exceptionally good for finding literal quotes.
The more mainstream a subject is, the lower the incidence of hallucinations. With google search, the mantra “I can’t be the first with this problem/question” almost always proves to be right.
I’m in the process of restoring a piece of vintage electronics and everytime I ask gemini (fast or thinking) for help I’m getting sent down an irrelevant rabbit hole. It’s taking info from service manuals of other equipment with a similar product number, misinterpreting diagrams, getting electrical workings wrong.
These things aren’t AI. AI can extract certainty from uncertain data. LLMs take data and turn it into garbage.
op is probably referring to the push all/pop all approach.
