According to my back of the envelope calculation, we would need to sequester about 272,000 trees to offset the training of one LLM like GPT4.

The price of gas has been higher than the price of gas today + 53 cents, so from an absolute price perspective it doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Better than Amazon that removed the ability to do any csv exports of orders or transactions sometime between when I prepared tax year 2021 and tax year 2022.

In my decade of paying for ebooks, I have yet to have any problems.

Yeah, that is all false. You can bring food. The only restriction is on liquids. I have taken a chipotle burrito through (covered with sauce and guacamole, wrapped in aluminum foil) without issue. I have taken pizzas, sandwiches, and hamburgers. You are even explicitly allowed to take solid water through airport security.

Atari perhaps?

I have noticed these types of videos slip into Facebook’s Reels late at night. It’ll switch from showing me people making candy and doing home improvement stuff - videos with tens of thousands of views and likes, then it will cut to a video with almost 0 views/likes that are basically the beginning of the Onlyfans sales funnel. Never when the sun is up!

Assuming signals move through fiber optic cables at 69% of c, it has already been done.

A similar argument could be made for a key being transmitted via radio signal that has slipped out to space.

Support cryptocurrency developers that commit to GPU only proof of work schemes for X years. Pump the price of said cryptocurrency.

I don’t doubt it, but I do doubt that the majority of the public will make an effort to verify signatures before consuming media. I think the public will rely on trusted channels - like the personality’s .com or official YouTube channel.

I believe you can buy envelopes of cash on the darknet - though then you’re probably at high risk of receiving counterfeits or running into a sting.

I use a program to disable Windows updates called Wu10Man. I am then able to apply the updates according to my own schedule, which works for me because it's a computer in my house that isn't in a DMZ. I got sick of coming back to my PC rebooted with windows closed and context lost.

And Apple Music, and Apple Classical Music, and Apple News, and Apple Fitness, and ...

I’m not sure which way the arrow of causation points - one of the body’s reactions to stopping breathing while unconscious is to grind the jaw.

I would also recommend reading feeling good or feeling great if you’re stuck in this type of rut.

FSD software, even with FSD disabled uses the internal camera for driver attentiveness when using autopilot, as early as January this year.

Mark Twain National Forest is in Missouri and allows dispersed camping.

Very Important Tweeters, a play on VIP perhaps?

Browser is the true edge compute.

A well informed electorate is a prerequisite to democracy. Fake news and undue outside influence absolutely must be protected against.

You can find this kind of reply on Reddit if you’re in the right subreddit. /r/science and /r/drugnerds come to mind as potential candidates.

Pretty irritating that for the last week or so, when I search classical music on my iPhone, the first result was an empty playlist that told me there is a classical music app coming.

Great. I have an app for listening to music from Apple called Music. I don’t really want yet another app and the mental overhead that comes with it.

When I saw Chappelle, they put phones in cases and let you hold onto the locked case. There was a way to get into the case in case of emergency without special tools, but security was kicking anyone out with a phone not in said case.

Chappelle does this, as does musician Lane 8.

My personal version of rubber duck debugging involves writing an email to explain the problem. It helps solidify my understanding and usually generates new things to follow up on.

During the chat, they kept trying to make conversation, to ask questions, and to retain me. I just copy/pasted "I'm not here for chit-chat, please cancel the subscription and confirm once complete" each time they tried to engage me.

Immediately after my subscription expired they started emailing me 1/2 off offers. The whole experience put a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be back.

The ability to get a loan for some % of income over 30 years also props up housing prices. If the standard mortgage term were shorter, housing prices would arguably have less upwards pressure (but this might make it harder for lower income participants to compete with higher wealth participants.)

In Russia and in France, smiling at strangers is frowned upon.

The copy is inconsistent on what you get and how much it costs.

In one place:

> All photoshoots include

> 120 headshots per person

> 3 unique locations per shoot

> 4K photo size

Then the individual shoots have different counts included per tier, some less than indicated for “all photoshoots” on the same page.

You know what they say about assumptions?

In written communication, context is king.
