They do, in fact, have that buy-in. It’s a prerequisite for having an app that does video on Apple TV: the same video stream provider that does listings for search in-app is also used out-of-app, with results lifted and recontextualized. Everything from Netflix to Disney+ to Crunchyroll is listed in app.

You should be able to combine two half solutions into a full solution.

It might actually be easier to start with the smart pantry! An in-cabinet kit that can be tested entirely dry and warm and open, and then expanded to the fridge.

I guess that’s a defense you could claim to the judge, at the trial, after being arrested.

Beautiful. 10/10 satire, no notes.

Like. It’s already over the internet. If I have to send it unencrypted to you, why not just send it unencrypted to the destination? The cat’s already out of the bagel, so to speak.

Okay. It’s now visible. Now what? You still can’t do anything about it.

https://acoup.blog/2026/02/24/collections-warfare-in-dune-pa... Lays out an interesting take on this: that armies are quite small, even on developed worlds, because the cost of equipping them is enormous — and the technological advantage is absurd enough that you don’t need a large army. When 300 men can hold a planet, why would you need 1000?

Because anything the US, UK, and Canada doesn’t like becomes terrorism, including (for Palestine Action in the UK) retroactively. It’s not something the US should be able to decide for the world.

So?

It’s optimizing for good writing. Therefore, it believes its outputs are good. Therefore, it believes inputs that look like its outputs are good.

Terrorism used to be defined as attacking civilian targets to aid in political messaging.

Attacking military targets is somewhere between an insurgency, partisanism, or an armed conflict.

If we let terrorism mean “any act against the state”, then people who burn police cars are the same as people who plant bombs in shopping malls.

Because it gives me 2.5% cash back, which is basically free money.

The US views that US law applies worldwide. There is no requirement that you be anywhere near the US to be under US jurisdiction for an alleged offense against the US, according to the US.

Also, that constitutional protections are suspended within 100 miles of a land, sea, or air border.

Translation, in and of itself, is viewed as a creative work. A translated work has two copyrights: the original, and the translation, with permission needed from all rightsholders to redistribute. A new translation of a public domain work (Emily Wilson’s The Odyssey) has one copyright holder, the translator. An existing work (the English translation of The Three Body Problem) has at least two: the original author and the translator.

However! Since AI work is noncopyrightable, the AI’s effort in translation is simply ignored. Claude’s The Odyssey would have zero rightsholders, and remain public domain. ChatGPT’s translation of The Three Body Problem would still be under Liu Cixin’s copyright.

You can write whatever you want in a license, including something as vague as “you can only use this code if I agree with your moral stances”. (For expediency, it might be worth enumerating the cases.)

The OSI might disapprove, but you don’t have to listen to them.

45.7% of Americans don’t have a 401k. That’s not a convincing argument.

Woe betide the company cursed with smart investors

Nobody using it is actually the ideal outcome. AI features are added, at no additional cost to the consumer, to extract money from investors. If customers began using the product, this feature would actually start having an ongoing cost.

That's great! I still don't, on any residential carrier I can purchase from.

...Does a bot know the word "transvestigation"? Would a bot be allowed to say it by its corporate overlords?

People have continually been taking significant action! CFCs were banned in 1987. High GWP refrigerants, like R-12 and R-22 have been banned, and even newer ones like R-401 are now significantly regulated: The days of bleeding an air conditioning system to atmosphere are _long_ gone. Cars in developed countries are annually inspected for emissions systems performance, so NOx and other GHG-producers have been cut to nearly 0% from vehicles since the 1990s in those regions. Transoceanic shipping has recently implemented its sulfur-free requirement, and we're visibly seeing fewer sulfuric clouds over the ocean. Stricter gas milage requirements in cars have seen a drop in CO2 emissions in the US from 2007 to 2025 by 102 million metric tons of CO2, despite having 23,000,000 more people.

The Paris accords have been running for years. No country has met its targets but nearly every country has seen a reduction.

The reductions aren't as big as we'd like. The temperature is still rising faster than we'd like. But the idea that we haven't taken any action is completely false.

The idea, within regulated circles, is that it lacks provenance - there’s no vendor to sue. Many open source licenses also carry an explicit disclaimer of merchantability and fitness for purpose. These are taken seriously, and open-source software is viewed akin to car parts found on the side of the road. They could work but it’s better to let someone else verify.

I’d focus more on print usability and readability guidelines than computer guidelines. 5Hz eink is closer to a moving newspaper than a slow computer.

https://www.mediapoint.com.au/design-tips/composition-layout... might be moderately helpful.

But my advice: do not count on anything refreshing ever. Do not have animations, or transitions. Preload things to the correct spaces, then fill in. Reserve fixed white areas for output, and then fill in with black. (This works much better than the reverse!)

For quite long running processes, it might be worth having it behind a second page load.

I’m powered by the James Bay project and live about three hours from Niagara Falls, so I’m a believer in hydro.

Niagara Falls, to the unaware, uses pumped hydro during night and off-season to account for power dips for when tourists want to look at the waterfall.

For the chemical batteries section, that’s an endorsement: Australia built a system that can handle grid-scale charge and discharge! At this point it’s a matter of buying more batteries and sticking them in, a resourcing problem rather than an engineering one.

The method of “reversal” was sending the money back, because it was a transfer between banks. The actual method of transfer or underlying currency is of no import in such circumstance.

For those who can’t use Revolut: WealthSimple in Canada and Chase in the US offer custodial cryptocurrency accounts.

I think America’s tax policy and redistribution scheme have made it the country where private individuals have the most money in the world - and that saying the landlord should pay just as much tax disincentivizes wealth concentration!

The alternative is they could charge more. They could. And people would pay it.

Batteries.

Or pumped storage. Or lifting a really heavy thing and letting it fall slowly.

Or retaining an amount of fossil fuel capacity to be turned on during peak consumption and sun and wind dips while still focusing on renewables and storage with the goal to reduce the duty cycle of peaker plants to zero.

I think it’s a bit closer than that. You can bench two plates, and “good enough” is two plates on the bench and a three plate squat. LLMs haven’t started leg day.
