Thank you for doing that. I’m going to go watch it now!

You need an ID to drive, buy alcohol, buy cigarettes, board a plane. And people manage to do all those things.

I had an idea like this years ago, only my idea was to put two of these on the playa and have them only call each other. Do you could pick one up, the other would ring, and you could talk to a random person.

This post is one long strawman argument.

I always wanted to replicate this with a helium balloon and a long, wet string coated with copper filings.

I’m hoping the new Slate electric cars don’t have this.

It basically writes a bunch of notes as markdown files and then injects them as part of its prompts. I saw someone compare it to that movie Momento, where the protagonist can’t form new memories so he tattoos notes all over his body.

It seems odd to me that the military doesn’t already have far superior models.

Can you get Zulip supported by OpenClaw? Zulip was my first choice communication channel.

Apparently they use smart appliances to scrape websites from residential accounts.

Anarchy is not a rejection of hierarchies, it’s a rejection of a central authority.

Or you could see it as an argument for the second amendment. Would someone have attempted this against an executive based in Texas? I don’t think so.

Maybe they wanted to decrypt NATO radio messages?

This was the original vision for iPhone, if I’m not mistaken

I use a short throw projector with an Apple TV. There’s also a little device called Micca which you can use to play video files you’ve downloaded.

Get a short throw projector. You can plug anything into it. It’s the perfect “dumb” screen.

The customer is always right.

I am hoping that AI art tends towards a modular approach, where generating a character, setting, style, and camera movement each happens in its own step. It doesn’t make sense to describe everything at once and hope you like what you get.

A melting glacier does not cause the sea level to rise. I can’t believe people don’t understand this. If you have a cup of ice water and melt the ice, the water level stays constant.

And I still can’t solve it

Rewatching this film, it really seemed fake to me. I love it, but I think it’s a mockumentary

Life just has seasons

I suppose that’s another way of saying we’re seeing controversial advances in science.

Apple auto suggest can be ducking annoying

Sounds to me like some regulators saw dollar signs and wanted a cut.

This is incredibly impressive, but I wonder- how does a project like this get proposed and funded? Why would Mitsubishi devote resources to solving a Rubik’s Cube as quickly as possible?

I suspect that people care about privacy more than we think, but the technology feels overwhelming to them, so they bury their heads in the sand.

I don’t even browse in “private mode.” Not because I don’t care, but because I assume it won’t really change anything.

Richard Feynman talked about this in his talk about “What is Fire?”

Arbitrage definitely happens in crypto. It’s how prices stay consistent across exchanges. If you have a small decentralized exchange with relatively low liquidity, arbitrage bots come in to capitalize on price discrepancies across exchanges.

It also leaves you in a very suggestive state. I did several sessions with a “rebirther” years ago, basically holotropic breath work. I decided I didn’t really need it, and I went in my last few sessions determined to quit, but at the end of the session, the practitioner always managed to convince me I needed another session. I eventually broke it off with him over the phone.
