Exactly why I can get behind a scrape here. They are already freely accessable.

I think in most cases it is the effort that is the gate. Ex. you can DDOS most public facing services simply by spamming AI.

well unless you figure out how to replace plastic..

Meta retooled all their internal models to be LEM / LLM based recently.

Crime. Everyone moves from DT Seattle to the eastside when they start a family. It’s normalized at this point, where if you see a potential threat u just walk across the street and go on with your business.

Hostile business environment. Jumpstart, inflationary wage environment, etc.

Living in DT Seattle is just meh. Expensive and the food scene is terrible due to local labor policies.

Inability to get anything done from the local govt. Wilson spent her campaign promising to make it easier to build housing and just gave in to nimby interests again.

Local politics is lunacy. Constant issues with the the unhoused population but it’s ok let’s just keep pushing it to little Saigon / Chinatown! Close your eyes since it doesn’t happen if you’re in Wallingford, QA, or Ballard!

Fewer and fewer major cos investing into the area.

And then there’s 0 transit enforcement or even any attempt at it. We don’t even have fare gates on the link for gods sake.

It’s just completely absurd how mismanaged this city is, despite how much potential there is.

Nowadays more and more offices opening in Bellevue.

This is funny to say because EU QOL stays afloat due to cheap imports from China.

Let's let the California HSR committee do it instead!

Did you validate anything you have posted?

for an account 41 days old you participate in a lot of controversial topic threads.

Next phone will be an android at this rate if Apple can’t solve this garbage

My favorite part of the iPhone 17 pro / ios26 combo is that it lags on any and everything that remotely touches the GPU like this website.

20 hours of listening is surprisingly low --

sony xm6 -- 30h

bose qc ultra -- 24h

would recommend the sony anc headphones, they're quite good.

The percentage of China in extreme poverty has been decreasing for the last few decades.

Or more likely, the commonality is how you're applying your software skills?

In every other field it's helpful to understand the basics. I don't think software is the exception here.

I previously hand baked everything.

I learned how andible, terraform, and docker approach dev ops and infra.

I would not be able to hand cook anything with these tools but understanding the syntax was a non goal (nor what interests me).

I pay $20/m for cursor. It allowed me to revamp my home lab in a weekend.

That is what they say about self driving cars, and there are services which are commercially available right now.

I like the design of this

if you're a hyped up billionaire, it's easy mode because you can pay a lot, and people want to work for you

blue origin vs spacex says otherwise..

When is this not true?

It is cheaper to buy GPUs than to develop the capabilities to develop GPUs.

It's like how every big co these days is ML. It will transition to LLMs as well.

Just give it a few years.

why not fix it?

Is it so hard to acknowledge that China is better at manufacturing?

How is that possible we have not figured out how to do this ourselves?

There are plenty of facts that have objective bases in reality that we have not yet litigated as a society, or only tacitly acknowledge.

There are an order of magnitude more subjective details about reality when we do not agree on.

Because even though I can learn some random library, I don’t really care to. I can do the architecture, I don’t care to spend half an hour understanding deeply how arguments to some API work.

Example: I rebuilt my homelab in a weekend last week with claude.

Setup terraform / ansible / docker for everything, and this was possible because I let claude all the arguments / details. I used to not bothered because I thought it was tedious.

In summary, we introduce a general principle governing neuronal evolution and suggest that the exceptionally high prevalence of autism in humans may be a direct result of natural selection for lower expression of a suite of genes that conferred a fitness benefit to our ancestors while also rendering an abundant class of neurons more sensitive to perturbation.

I don't see how the title "Autism may be the price of human intelligence, linked to human brain evolution" is at all related to the paper?

Your app doesn’t support dark mode :(

I owned a Moonlander before and found that the keyboard layout didn’t matter much to my productivity.

I have a Microsoft sculpt at work, and a macbook. The macbook keyboard has been great IME.

As the joke goes, in soviet Russia you are also free to criticize America.

This line of reasoning doesn’t make sense because 3MB is marginal for the amount of work put in to develop this feature.

Google photos offers a save as copy / save as original feature when editing photos and videos. Removing the save as original button would be cheaper and significantly more effective.

Where do you live? How old is your house?

500 is insane.
