Oh, good, glad that's solved then.

You literally just explained the value.

It's slightly funny that the post says firmly that they aren't doing any form of real time engagement with the community anymore, then ends by announcing an AMA date and time.

> And in all cases, if you produce the fuel using renewables then the CO2 output is trivially brought near zero.

But...they don't.

These are the weirdest criticisms. It seems totally normal to me for engineers to be bad at explaining their project to a lay audience. Whereas that's the kind of thing that LLMs are great at.

How do they know Starlink isn't going to jack the prices up?

Somehow this almost inspired me to write some fiction just for the sole purpose of including some real howlers of this kind, that the average reader wouldn't notice. I wonder how many you could squeeze into one scene.

>The modem sang its negotiation out loud, and that shriek was two machines arguing about how to speak to each other, and after enough times you could hear when the argument was going south and the call was about to drop. You set little jumpers on drives with your fingernail. You knew which interrupt your sound card answered to, because if you guessed wrong it answered to nothing. The machine was made of edges and you cut yourself on them, and that is how you found out where they were.

Wow. I had literally all of these experiences. I remember how you used to have to remember the Sound Blaster interrupt settings and pass them to any game that used it. And I'd completely forgotten about IDE jumpers, but yep - how fiddly it was when you wanted to put 4 hard drives in the same computer, figure out which were slaves and masters, etc etc.

> Homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years. Until the industrial revolution, we lived outside. How did we get through the Neolithic Era without sunscreen? Actually, perfectly well. What’s counterintuitive is that dermatologists run around saying, ‘Don’t go outside, you might die.’”

At least in Australia a big difference is that there is a hole in the ozone layer that stone age people did not have. Sun exposure is much more harmful now.

"bonus words" are often obscure or embarrassing in some way, so you're not required to find them to win

Interesting that they don't seem to have had much cultural impact. I've never heard of these, never seen them in war films. You don't hear songs wistfully using a wartime ocarina or referring to them.

That's a big change!

Yeah they've been around for ages and surprisingly effective at what they do. Good on 'em.

Good point. "CLI for Google Workspace" would be less ambiguous.

Google could definitely be harmed by an unofficial product release that gets lots of users but doesn't have any kind of official support behind it, and hence could make those users pissed off in the future.

The text of their "tweet that got me fired" is:

> Introducing the Google Workspace CLI: https://github.com/googleworkspac e/cli - built for humans and agents.

> Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, and every Workspace API. 40+ agent skills included.

Yeah, that absolutely looks like an official product announcement from Google. Surely it was obvious they'd get in trouble for that.

It's strange what people think is expensive. Double glazing is very expensive but no one in Europe would go without it. Aircon is not expensive within the context of a house's construction costs.

I'm not sure if the incident with the bees really belongs....

Confusingly I got three wrong but got the same vocab estimate.

> Again, drink your shot at room temp or close to it.

I, um, do not wish to do this.

> Some coffeeshops even recommend to taste it while it cools off and not drink straight away.

Those coffee shops can with their own business.

> Espresso does not have milk

You're using the term in an unnecessarily specific way.

That's very surprising. What's the model of machine?

I disagree. I have done the experiment a lot because often I make two shots and reheat the second one. It's noticeably less flavoursome and much less aromatic than the first.

It's relatively common around here for people (especially older folks) to order coffee extra hot. Holding the coffee for a while and smelling it as it cools to a drinkable temperature is all part of an enjoyable process.

I'm always wary of studies that claim that there is some optimal way to have coffee. People have different preferences.

> And most iced coffee is very intentionally not made with espresso

Really? How is it made?

Yeah I hate clustering too. Especially since, like the OP points out, mapping libraries have been easily able to handle thousands of points on screen for many years now.

At least, make the clustering less aggressive so you only get clusters for large numbers of points.

This is how I got a rent reduction in my flat during the pandemic.

I don't think humans really invented raisins.

Pretty accurate with my username. One of them had the wrong real name associated.

Yeah I'd be interested to hear more about what the options might be. Also curious why it is that DARPA thinks this is solvable, but no one has come close yet.
