jukea··on What if AI just makes us work harder?
Care to explain why? I think it’s not a bad analogy: contrasting two things with the same goal, one fast paced, saturates your cognitive load , and one that leaves more space for reflecting on what is actually happening, inherently less exhausting. You may disagree with the analysis, but it works in this framework.
jukea··on Simple 3D Packing
The problem sounds very interesting and a complex one to solve. Could give examples of use cases where dense 3d packing is needed? (Say, besides literal packing of physical objects in a box? )

jukea··on How to find a lost phone in a no-cell-coverage camping site?
I once found my phone buried in the sand on a beach with no coverage. I had a year worth of pictures on it, so I stewed in anguish for almost a day until we thought about installing a Bluetooth signal monitor on a friend’s phone . Given the sluggish update frequency, we resorted to triangulating the phone’s position. As we were pulling it from its sandy grave, I swear it felt like we were cheating fate itself.
jukea··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
I’m surprised myself, but I found it interesting to see how the sentence got compressed to only 2 words in Latin.
