Who doesn’t build a way to change email addresses into their product?!

Some of them are really beautiful.

I’m disappointed at the lack of before/after photos in that article. My ape brain would love them.

You’d be hard pressed to convince me to consume a class 1 carcinogen in moderation for health benefits.

When I’m buying a new knife I have a temporary interest in steels. For those times I might want something that guides me through whether there’s a steel that is better for my use case than Magnacut. Last time I was into researching steels I made my own spreadsheet.

I agree. There’s no need to centralize this list.

The graph you chose feels useless to me. It seems like you built this without a target use case, neither practical nor academic.

I did this like 15 years ago for my personal site too! Looks great.

I’ve been paying for Kagi search engine (a thing I never thought I’d pay for) for many months and it has a lot of what you’re asking for.

by pooling data from 3 large cohorts, we could explore heterogeneity across key population subgroups, including understudied sociodemographic subgroups, which was identified as a research gap in the 2022 USPSTF review.3 In stratified analyses, we found no evidence of effect modification by race and ethnicity, education, or diet quality.

If they don’t want them anymore why not just lay them off? Why this beating around the bush, slimy bullshit?

I don’t know what makes an inanimate object ugly, but the crookie captures it.

reading sideways sucks

Summary:

“The proton is an incredibly complex particle that physicists are still working to fully understand. Experiments over decades have revealed that the proton is not just three quarks, but contains a sea of transient gluons and quark-antiquark pairs. The HERA accelerator provided evidence of this "gluon dandelion" structure by detecting low-momentum quarks and antiquarks emerging from gluon splitting. Most recently, machine learning analysis of thousands of proton snapshots found traces of heavy charm quarks within the proton, suggesting its makeup is a quantum mixture of different quark states. Future experiments like the Electron-Ion Collider aim to map out the spins and 3D structure of quarks and gluons inside the proton.

One interesting finding highlighted is the recent discovery, through machine learning analysis of past proton data, that the proton contains traces of heavy charm quarks, implying its composition involves different quark combinations in a quantum superposition. This suggests the proton's makeup is more complex than previously understood.”

Summary:

“Amelia Earhart went missing in 1937 during her attempted circumnavigation of the globe when she failed to find Howland Island, as intended radio navigation assistance from the Itasca ship was compromised by issues with her plane's radio equipment. Specifically, Earhart had mistakenly designated 7.5 megacycles as the Itasca's beacon frequency, which was too high for her plane's direction finder to get a bearing from. This prevented her from coordinating with the Itasca. Intriguingly, radio signals later intercepted by stations in the Pacific showed Earhart's plane was still operational for hours after she went missing, suggesting she survived the initial landing but could not be reached due to radio problems. Unfortunately, no definitive evidence of her final fate has ever been discovered.”

Not exactly an impartial source coming from their competitor who is also almost fully funded by their other competitor.

I also can’t stand when I want to debug a single table test with VSCode debugger+dlv and I have to comment out hundreds of lines of table tests.

I find it annoying that the tl;dr summarizes two sentences.

“The document discusses where PostgreSQL is heading in 2024 and beyond. It focuses on three key areas: availability, performance, and developer features. For availability, the author sees logical replication and reducing downtime for upgrades and maintenance as important goals. Performance improvements may come from asynchronous I/O, parallel recovery, and maximizing resource usage on large instances. On developer features, priorities include supporting more of the SQL/JSON standard and making migration from other databases easier. The author also notes opportunities around PostgreSQL extensions, community building, mentorship, and diversity/inclusion. Overall, the community is actively working to improve PostgreSQL in many dimensions.” –Kagi summarizer.

I’ll make sure I’m using the 2.0 version. They released a separate app in the app store for 2.0 (for some reason) and increased the confusion by naming it the same as the previous version!

The Kagi Safari extension for iOS is driving me crazy. Half the time it sends my searches to the default search engine. So annoying after paying for a year of Kagi.

the world had gone dumb.

Source?

Unless there’s some evidence that the legal system (which isn’t responsible for homelessness) is enforcing business rules instead of helping starving, cold children… then that’s a false dichotomy.

Cool. I was hoping to get some interesting ideas around inside the front entrance. Well engineered solutions to shoes, coats, accessories, etc.

Trail running shoes.

There something true about it though. People see the world through “my tribe, not my tribe”. Left vs right. Islam vs non-Islam. West vs non-west. Sunni vs Shia. etc.

Udemy is really annoying for this. They intentionally hide the release date of courses.

Someone who knows what they’re talking about can correct me, but I would guess that a $30 million tax write off would “earn” them $6 million given a 20% tax rate. Maybe they believe the movie would earn less than that?

932 miles is suspiciously specific.

Between the lies about battery capacity and this, Tesla is not to be trusted.
