The primary concern is reduced stomach acid leading to nutrient deficiencies, particularly b12. There have been some long term studies correlating to dementia as a result. And some studies that have not found this. So the jury is still out, but keeping an eye on some nutritional markers is not a bad idea.

Yup, because you get to be personally responsible for any outcomes just like you would be if you were driving without ai assistance. If you aren’t comfortable building and testing an open source project then it isn’t for you.

Complicated interaction with macOS Sequoia though. I’m on apple silicon and trying to capture on a multimon setup (although only capturing one screen) and the capture freezes painfully often. Going to window capture helps but doesn’t eliminate the problem. Seems to be related to ScreenCaptureKit. I’ve tried a lot to debug it but so far failed.

I’ve been enjoying Kokoro

Amazing what it can do with only 82M parameters

I've been really enjoying the AntsCanada youtube channel lately. He stages ant wars in a controlled environment and films them really well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCONd1SNf3_QqjzjCVsURNuA

Been quite a few years ago, but Dell support came to a tiny campground 100 miles from anywhere and swapped out my laptop motherboard within 24 hours of it failing. Sadly, their support is no longer as extraordinary.

Thanks. I get it on ios as well. Hadn’t thought to try a vpn.

I had always read that (perhaps over-hopefully) as referring to the structural incentives of the Chinese economic system not leading to innovation rather than a racist statement that Asians can't innovate. Neither statement seems completely accurate but the former is considerably less offensive.

Perhaps some more model work too! I'm about a 5 and it called me 1.8

Nice idea and implementation, though!

Colloquially I think you may be right, but the dictionary definition makes it appropriate here: Demise Definition & Meaning noun ; a · death ; b · a cessation of existence or activity ; c · a loss of position or status.

"lot of deaths over the last few years from fentanyl in pot."

Can you share a case where this has been confirmed? There was some hysteria in Connecticut last year, but my understanding is that this has never actually happened. I'd love to see a pointer to a coroner's report on a case of accidental fentanyl ingestion from laced pot having led to an overdose.

I have seen cases of fentanyl test strips coming up positive, but only with incidental contamination rather than anything in concentrations that are actually hazardous. Fentanyl decomposes at under 300 degrees and pot burns at 450, so it is not actually a viable route to ingestion.

Nice! I read that comic every day :-)

Nice. I was at msft then and had access to the code. My friend and I had a great time hacking his daughter's Barney to make it say things it shouldn't.

I had presumed he meant breakage and the shards turning into little knives.

Hmm, as an engineer good toys are huge. It shows respect for my time to buy good equipment. Is it calling them toys you object to? I guess I also phrase things as "let's play with this..." So toys seems a good colloquial way of referring to things.

Do make sure you check. I got a request for more documents then nothing. But they had added me to the access list and it just didn't notify me.

You can. Although I have long since lost many of the details, I used the Apple II to present subliminal perception data in experiments for a cognitive psychology lab that was an early programming job for me in the 80's. We had to run an oscilloscope on the signal to catch the vblank to time our display onset properly.

Here's the paper itself, which annoyingly is not linked to from the article. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Nice site. I question the design decision to require a visitor to "add a new rate" to see existing pay though. It seems to incentivize making stuff up and brings the reliability of your data into question.

Mike Moyer wrote a book called "Slicing Pie" that gives a much better model than a 50/50 split for this situation.

It's a hard year for internships. The school I work at has a CS co-op program which requires work terms. Several students a term just can't find jobs they are more excited about than an idea of their own. We often host them at the makerspace as "entrepreneurial co-op" terms. Having a portfolio project out of a term's effort might be worth more than a summer's salary if you can afford to do so.

Edit - Your calendar app is a nice start, btw! Showing users and impacts would be great.
