Ah, nice. Some of the gloves are very hard to read.

That seems like it cannot be true? The words are 11, 5, 2, 12, 7, 7 letters long. It cannot be "stop throwing your gloves on the ground".

The correct answer is XER?APUOBIA LEADS TO INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED CARROTS

I do not know why you did not spot check the number of letters!

It turns out that both phrases are used like this, similarly to how they teach in logic classes that "but" is just "and" in fancy clothing, but actual usage is quite different. Actually, a lot of language is just signpost phrasing that "helps the medicine go down" by giving hints at how the following idea will connect to this one.

Both phrases are used like this— let me explain:

Logic classes teach that "but" is just "and" in fancy clothing, and actual usage is quite different. A lot of language is signpost phrasing that "helps the medicine go down" by giving hints at how the following idea will connect to this one.

The THIRD sentence in the article explains that they ship to the US. You are tone-policing your hallucinated version of the article!

> Enter Navjot Sawhney, who founded the UK-based social enterprise The Washing Machine Project (TWMP) to tackle this, and has now shipped almost 500 of his hand-crank Divya machines to 13 countries, including Mexico, Ghana, Iraq *and the US.*

Yes, it matters, and big companies can do fantastic things by designing extremely expansive fonts which make it easy to include users speaking plenty of languages that we developers don't even know about.

When you say that it would "almost be like a punishment for Linux users", I think you're wrong, because it literally would be a value add. There is something interesting about the fact that offering you 10% more value would be taken as a downgrade

…They are also building email

Holy crap this is going to let me move some privacy-focused folks over to join me in Kagitopia. Good job guys, you are always working on something cool.

Huh, this looks very neat. I like the effect that happens briefly while you scroll.

Privacy.com is what I've used the past half decade

Explain?

That's not an oxymoron.

If before the top show was seen by 90% of all customers, and now each of 20 shows is watched by 5%, it will be comparatively very hard to find someone who has watched the most-viewed show of today despite it being the most watched.

You panned someone for understanding basic math.

He's aware. When someone disagrees with you about AI, sending them Plato entries is generally unhelpful and pointless

This is not correct. If we want to explain why the sidewalk is wet, and 99% of the time it is because of sprinklers and 1% of the time it is because of rain, then "The sprinklers do not alone explain the wetness", but "The wetness cannot be explained by the sprinklers" is a foolish thing to say.

Everyone saying "This isn't a speedup, this is VSCode stopping being dumb" hasn't read carefully enough:

The speedup is from taking extension code built on a limited API and implementing it inside VSCode, using more information while doing so.

grep

There would be infinite m/v there, and finite everywhere without infinite density, so literally every single random draw of a single mass-unit would be in an area of infinite density, or so goes the idea.

(This is not sarcastic) How do we know we aren't?

I bet you can I get a better SAT score than any "Ursus arctos horribilis" that you can field ;)

They meant licking an eStamp, duh

It's a joke

The thing it's trendy to hate on is probably just like other things it's been trendy to hate on, and claiming otherwise looks pretty silly. Unless flavored vapes are also a potential filter event, that is.

That's silly. The show's content is not going to be worse because you don't need a team of animators. Instead, think of "free easy animation" as a tool which lets writers start up an attempt solo.

The "superficiality" is perfectly unrelated.

Which one comes up on top, expected value wise?

You're aware that the AI folks aren't trying to build AIXI, right? I find it hard to believe you'd thrash a theoretical infinite-compute chess model as silly this hard; it's a useful model as a boundary case.

Do you think the author is somehow gaining access to the originals? I do not see how this is relevant.

Another hyperbolic geometry game and previous discussion here [1]. The different areas in the game help with a grasp of different interesting properties of the non-euclidean geometry.

I don't think the people in the story would be upset at being shown a note from a (presumably long gone) friend?

Many people would like to get things like "cure to disease X" or "reliable way to make people healthy" or "way to transport crops to hungry regions" before things like "green jelly beans linked to acne", and this is what the complaint is about. We can fool around with jelly beans _after_ we have done the more important things.

Yes, Obsidian functions as a personal Wiki, which makes the above look sorta like "Why would I use Wikipedia instead of a 2.7 Gb directory of text files indexed by Bing?", which makes the value add more obvious, I think.

(In case it isn't: links, rendering, and stuff like the graph that gets constructed as you link are _very_ helpful to my workflow)
