My mother-in-law has spinal surgery last christmas, the pain for her, prior to the surgery, was unbearable so it's hard to justify not running from that into the arms of a surgeon. The surgeon showed exactly what was to repair though so it was simple enough to understand and clear in the way it was going to help her.
About 9 months out from that surgery and she doesn't have anymore pain.
GNHF seems exactly what I've been aiming for to handle overnight tasks.
Now that the noise-floor has been artificially raised (and generated), my crappy words are starting to have their own happy little carbon-based rhythm.
Maybe Apple is an acquisition away from changing that balance.
It's maddening and sad.
It's not too dissimilar from the Figure demo that was done on X/Twitter recently. Everyone was pointing out what a lackluster demo that was and here I was thinking the total opposite, it worked for 8 hours with no sexual harassment training, KPIs, management oversight, breaks or co-worker chatting. That's the worst job it'll likely ever do. We just witnessed the floor of it's capabilities.
My hope/vision with robotic cars is we make cities more human-friendly/accessible. I want revitalized/bustling downtowns of bikes/bodies and not, what some cities are, which are glorified parking lots. I want to be less alone as an american. I would a physical sense of community injected back into my veins.
1. Netflix does use AWS but it's far more economical for them to embed content caches/servers within ISP networks so that it relies solely on the ISPs network. All major CDN-like providers (Apple with their Edge Cache, Google with their GCC) offer embedded caches which tend to make a lot of sense at sufficient ISP scale (# of users). It's a misconception or just journalistic misunderstanding that everything Netflix runs is from AWS. Content delivery is the large majority of Netflix's outbound traffic. It also removes the reliance of Netflix to run in inordinately large backbone to serve content.
While I understand the knee-jerk reaction, especially to writing, people make about AI, it's starting to have a counter-effect on me.
A brush can destroy (sweep) or create (paint) but it's still a tool.
You're telling me there is a faceless, non-judgemental, never exhausted tutor just sitting there waiting for my curiosity to strike up a conversation? How absolutely fantastic. We're spoiled with information.
Sure, for new equipment or in a pinch (that becomes cumbersome) but even traveling, you know what equipment you have, charge rate and things needing to get charged from what connector type. So you purchase the variants that you need.
