How has it been trashed? Does the Bun software not work anymore?

Passive house thinking comes from an era of peak oil concerns, no solar, and no heat pumps. None of those conditions holds anymore. Further, passive houses are notorious for overheating and because they’re so airtight they require expensive mechanical ventilation and make-up air systems unless you want indoor air pollution problems.

People building houses today are much better served by spending their money on solar + battery + heat pumps than going passive.

Spotlight is much improved in Tahoe - faster and with better results.

Maybe dictation is the way to go? It’s a quick way to interact with agents and works really well.

It’s a long way short of evidence, though. It might be right, but it might just be food for confirmation bias, too.

To the level of a clinical diagnosis, yeah it seems quite likely to me that most people can’t discern autistic spectrum behaviour in their peers. I bet most people couldn't even accurately say what those behaviours would be.

If you have a link to your project that you could share I'd be interested in following it - this sounds like something I might want to use one day.

Starlink on flights could put an end to this

You said

As it stands, any private transaction on the Zcash chain stands out like a sore thumb

Is that actually still the case or has the change to defaults made anonymity more common?

Yes, to me this is a biggest feature of Typescript: A little goes a long way, while the advanced features make really cool things possible. I tend to think of there being two kinds of Typescript - Application Typescript (aka The Basics, `type`, `interface`, `Record`, unions etc...) and Library Typescript which is the stuff that eg Zod or Prisma does to give the Application Typescript users awesome features.

While I aspire to Library TS levels of skill, I am really only a bit past App TS myself.

On that note I've been meaning to the the Type-Level Typescript course [0]. Has anyone taken it?

Why would a manager who’s able to claim the credit of their reports in order to advance their own career then PIP the best ones? Wouldn’t they keep them around to keep claiming credit from?

I’m not doubting your story (I’ve never worked in India) I just don’t understand the incentive to fire a good worker in this scenario.

Horse racing didn’t go away and there are more people who race horses professionally than who race cars.

The ugly glass UX, the weird floating controls, the always on display, blah blah

I'm on the "some like it" boat, to my surprise. I think the glass effect is eye-catching in a good way, and is much-less of a readability issue than I had expected. I often notice how cool it looks over my rotating background photos. I also love the always-on display because I don't have a watch.

Sure but no-one uses Shen... or do they? Someone want to tell me they're a Shen user and why it's great?

Who are today’s innovators in the backpack space?

Your HEPA filters must be real ones. HEPA is just an acronym anyone can slap on anything, there's no accreditation.

Recent testing on the Vacuum Wars channel showed big differences between filters from the vacuum manufacturer and off-brand "HEPA" filters. Probably the same applies everywhere.

AI reads them and identifies trends and patterns, or answers questions from PMs or others?

mostly nothing to do with technology or with support costs

Support costs aren't zero though. I work for a company with a lot of corporate customers and we get loads of SSO support tickets. People are always misreading the docs, (mis)configuring things against our recommendations, migrating systems, merging systems (due to acquisition etc)...

Of if you are on Air New Zealand and can't afford business class you can get a Skycouch in Economy. They're pretty great, actually, unless you're over 6ft tall or can't sleep with you knees bent a bit

Fascinating comment thread here - thanks to you both!

cloud-only tools like Jira.

But Jira is not cloud-only?

That exact phrase "What is 75 degrees fahrenheit in celsius, and what is 85 degrees in fahrenheit" given to ChatGPT produces the correct result (it infers that the second degrees must be Celsius) and ChatGPT gives me a nicely laid out formula for the math of the conversion.

So yeah, Apple is way behind on this stuff.

Sleeping on the back only matters when they are very young. It’s for when they don’t have the strength to turn themselves out of a face-down / suffocating position. That’s why you practice tummy time (neck/head lifting) with an infant. Once they are older they can sleep how they like

For the AirGradient device I think the way to calibrate CO2 is to expose it to fresh air at some point, which has a known CO2 level. It’s supposed to auto-calibrate. But if you don’t do that regularly then the readings will drift (without anyway of telling they’re drifting). You also can’t tell when the sensor has calibrated.

IIUC VOC is way more complicated and hard to both calibrate and interpret. I’m not sure I have any faith in that value.

I do think a lot of people are going to be mislead by these monitors, the sensors and devices come with a bunch of caveats that aren’t clearly communicated.

For me what people should most care about is particulates, and at least as far as I know those sensors don’t come with the calibration issues of CO2 and VOC. That’s the sensor my AirGradient is set to alert on.

Oh, mine have spaces and all (the very-expensive, not-optional mounting clips create the requisite spacing). They're just hot. Google "composite deck heat" etc will find lots of people complaining about it.

Seems like a perfect use for the material.

Provided they don’t get too much sun, because those dense plastic planks get much hotter than wood (I’ve measured 65C on mine). A deck is not much good if you can’t stand on it.

Also they’re expensive and don’t look very good.

JavaScript ORMs would be revolutionized if they had this ability.

Is this possible in JavaScript?

Have you (or anyone else reading this) used Coalton? What's your experience been like? Seems quite appealing to me.

3. Could pretyy easily cause anotger ice age if miscalculated

Could they? At least for stratospheric aerosol injection it would be easy to just stop doing it if things seemed like they were tipping. It doesn't happen _that_ fast, we'd have time to notice and react.

A cup of mustard powder? What does it feel like and how did you come across this?
