aaarrm··on GraphCast: AI model for weather forecasting
This is awesome. I was trying to do a weather project a while ago, but couldn't find an API to suit my needs for the life of me. It looks like yours still doesn't have exactly everything I'd want but it still has plenty. Mainly UV index is something I've been trying to find wide historical data for, but it seems like it just might not be out there. I do see you have solar radiation, so I wonder if I could calculate it using that data. But I believe UV index also takes into account things like local air pollution and ozone forecast as well.
aaarrm··on World's largest aircraft breaks cover in Silicon Valley
If this was cheap, I'd definitely ride it for long trips like that, but I'm sure it will not be. I guess I'm curious also what the interior is like and how much square footage they have available too.

Edit, I found this information in a different article:

It could eventually carry up to 14 people and has a cargo capacity of up to 11,000 pounds. To that end, LTA says the airship will be primarily used to bring humanitarian aid (food and supplies) to remote areas that are difficult to access via traditional aircraft and vehicles.

Im guessing the whiteness has something to do with reflecting the sun's heat, so as to not heat up the helium inside.
aaarrm··on I think GCP is better than AWS (2020)
I've not used AWS but have been continuously curious if their docs are as scattered as GCP's, this is good to finally know.
aaarrm··on Boox Palma review: A phone-shaped e-reader
Does a device like this have faster screen update rates or is more responsive to inputs than e readers like the Kindle?

I only ask because I had to stop using the Kindle and go back to paperback, and I am by no means a purist for these things. I just found the delays in everything so bad to use that I was actually avoiding reading just because I was avoiding using the device.

I'm hoping to revisit e readers in a few years to see if things have improved on that front.

Belle seems to do the same things as Summer Wars, but worse. It's not great imo.

I know the devs of Hades have a custom engine and they are by no means a large studio
aaarrm··on CNET is deleting old articles to try to improve its Google Search ranking
I saw someone mention kagi, a premium search engine, on here recently and I've been loving it. Hadn't heard of yandex, I'll give that one a try too.

Google definitely has an incentive to push content farms covered in Google ads to the top of its search engine, whereas a premium service's only incentive is to provide the best search engine possible.

Any particularly useful resources for looking into prompts?
aaarrm··on How too much daydreaming affected me
I actually feel like under-stimulation has caused me to lose the ability to daydream somewhat. I used to have moments in my imagination and I loved it, and then around ~17 or so it all went away. I've been trying to get it back ever since, but I haven't been able to pin down the how or why.

At this point I feel my imagination is very untrained, and since it is like a muscle, I need to practice somehow. But I believe the patterns I've instilled in my day-to-day, along with my anxieties around life have forced my imagination into a standstill. Unengaging forms of consumption, ADHD causing me to avoid stimulating tasks, anxiety guiding nearly all of my thoughts all come together to make me have no time or willingness to daydream anymore.
