No, it's your playground. My podcast was talking about the music the guest was making and I thought he was playing something Potter related.

It does change sound sometimes based on the following word.

They often have a mix of their call sign and another brand. The conglomerates have a few brands like The River (something for everyone is nothing at all). Local stations sometimes emphasize the call sign or they have something else, like 88.5 in Atlanta is "Album 88", or WRAS.

If East Germany can, why can't we? /s

I'm a thought leader. I thought I should lead.

Me too, but I think it means to avoid being constrained by success, like Python 2.

Elm took this a little to far.

Writers will be forced to go on tour like musicians in order to get anything from their work, and they may not release the works to the public until after their death. So much for the last of the troubadours.

If you like this game, call us! The President just fired all our controllers.

The checker could be, perhaps is likely to be, the reader of an article clicking a link the LLM hallucinated when it wrote the article.

I believe that is what TFA is about.

It's probably because of HN's anti-LLM filter. I don't know if submitters use LLMs to touch up their descriptions or if these descriptions often use LLM-like phrasing.

Yes, from the first link:

"This is unreasonable.

"Do I seem like a reasonable person?"

Important data should probably be worked on and stored with error-correcting codes, in addition to the hardware-provided ones. The Btrfs mention in TFA suggests that maintaining integrity of the Btrfs metadata is not considered part of the job description of Btrfs, but perhaps it should be.

Windows 11 seems to reserve a lot of memory that isn't available to applications. The amount of in-use RAM on a freshly booted system is pretty high, and an 8GB system struggles under light load. I have one that can't run a VM on hyper-V, it just can't reserve even 512MB. The frustrating thing is that 6+ GB is in use but the applications visible in task manager add up to a small fraction of that, maybe 1-2 GB. I think it's being used mainly by the integrated graphics.

It is common but I think these displays in the press release are for the photo. I would expect to see a large flag on a tall pole outside most large factories, but inside the decorations will range from bland, to company-oriented, to patriotic.

A defense plant probably has more outward signs of patriotism.

Originally the idea was that a take-home essay would allow students to work at their own pace, study their own way, and produce something interesting. But if more than half will just prompt an AI and learn nothing, then I agree you should proctor all assessments.

And in English, traction also means pulling, but it got somewhat misapplied to the friction of tires, causing confusion in the language. For example, a tractor is something that pulls, and when a broken leg is put in traction, it's suspended to pull it apart and keep the muscles from pulling it together.

Tension, as you say, is indeed the term used in physics and engineering for the force on an object pulling it from either end.

I discovered I live in a parallel universe from the author, having heard nothing about anything this article references.

Very few voices were complaining about flying killer robots in and around the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and more and more people seem comfortable with the status quo.

I guess things like fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles led the way. The future is Skynet.

Also UL94 (https://www.swiftfuelsavgas.com/) could be used in many models. Unfortunately some have been previously upgraded to high-compression engines to get a few more horsepower and they can't use UL94.

Some can run on ethanol-free 87-octane automotive fuel, generally the low-compression engines that already can run 80/87 aviation fuel.

80/87 and 100/130 leaded fuels are all but unavailable, but 100LL is ubiquitous. There is a chicken and egg problem to make G100UL and UL94 available, which will encourage its use. Even automotive fuel is hard to find at airports, possibly because they don't want the liability of improper fueling. (100LL is compatible with almost every gasoline aircraft engine, the rest are not.)

The G100UL also may have an issue with being too good of a solvent, although the developer insists that's a libel.

Swift Fuels is also supposed to introduce a different type of 100-octane unleaded called 100R that has had good results in testing but hasn't been broadly approved yet.

It was like pulling teeth from a dragon to get the FAA to move forward with G100UL as I understand it, and then they suddenly approved it for just about anything provided they write a supplemental type certificate. So maybe the same will happen when/if 100R is approved and someone will handle the marketing.

Interestingly boring story.

One nitpick: as a midlife crisis actor, I can say for me it wasn't a fear of dying young, it's the fear of growing too old to do things you regret not doing.

At least it medaled. The same can't be said for the information age.

Also annoyed/angry/cross.

This website is a little creepy.

The most comfortable path around a curve in the road starts on the outside of the lane, peaks at the inside of the lane, and returns to the outside. This is similar to a racing line. Using the shoulder enables an even better path. The lane-centered path is less comfortable and, honestly, less natural.

Asking, "do you mind?" is not an assumption of consent. It's the same question, do you consent? It's like asking someone if they mind smoking. It has two implications. First, you can say you do mind. Second, I obviously have a reason I'm hoping you don't.

If you can't say, "I do not like smoking, thanks", then you don't really get to complain, "What nerve! To smoke in front of me!"

It's still available, I just don't know if it's still available without prescription. It's also gotten more expensive and not as many pharmacies stock it. Really, I find our drug policies so frustrating.

They should take all the ineffective phenylephrine products off the market and educate the consumer about asking for pseudoephedrine versions. But I think the ship has sailed and meth is being made with industrial chemicals now, so the restriction isn't as useful as it was.

I think it's not a bad idea to have a registry to prevent over-dispensing of opiate cough syrup. It's really an important drug. There are a lot of conditions that cause chronic, lifelong, unproductive coughing. Doctors end up prescribing things that are either more habit-forming or more dangerous.

It's not going to keep old cars on the road if you mandate expensive tests to do so, when new cars don't need the tests.

I hated it on my Toyota, but love it on the Honda Prologue (which is really a Chevy Blazer). On the Toyota it would drift down until I was following someone who I would normally have passed if I saw them coming. It would then race to catch up if I changed lanes. The Prologue gets closer before slowing, so I feel the approach and change lanes. It also has better behavior in traffic.

Are they not rain-sensing wipers?
