Anecdotally, I notice better performance and output quality across most providers outside of 8a-5p ET.

bowl-slop is getting smaller and is now cup-slop

There's currently a 100-ft foiling trimaran in the southern ocean that is racing the clock around the world attempting the around the world record.

They've averaged about 34 mph (30 kn) for 22 days now. Crazy stuff.

The red boat on the tracker is the world record track from 2017.

A significant portion of the bottom and middle segments of the restaurant industry have been enshittified. Lower quality, less service, and higher prices.

Meal prepping, cooking at home, and fine dining only.

Nintendo and Netflix are the only examples I’ve got.

What school is offering sailing scholarships?

HINT: NONE. If this is true, I'd really like to know what program that is.

Sailing isn't an NCAA sport, it's governed by its own association the ICSA. Sailing Scholarships are explicitly disallowed, in fact the bigger issue that's been happening in collegiate sailing is the opposite of a scholarship.

Eager and wealthy parents making huge donations to sailing programs, rowing programs, lawn dart programs, fencing programs, etc to get admission into top schools where their kid wouldn't be able to get in on their own merit.

I get a lot of private aviation ads. I certainly can’t and will not be flying private anytime soon, but I assume I get fed these expensive ad buys because I do have an ADSB radio hobby.

I also click them often. $$$$

IVF babies are AGI

I think they meant sqlite is often used in CI/CD testing environments as an alternative to running a client/server database in these environments. For simple crud webapps, or frameworks that are db agnostic it works well.

They connected the headphones to a wireless controller. The wireless controller doesn't have a GPU.

You’re averaging a new application every business day? How does that even work deploying and maintenance? What happens if you leave and your 200 vibe coded apps become tech debt?

It’s not that we can’t do it, it’s that higher-velocity occasionally buggy code has proven time and time again to be significantly more profitable than formally verified. The juice is rarely worth the squeeze.

I only do LAX if it’s cheaper/ faster than SAN. LAX is so much better connected in terms of direct flights because of the competition the cost/time is often worth it. I’d rather sit in a cab than get stuck in ATL/DTW/SLC.

$150-$200 if you book ahead.

ChatGPT wouldn’t tell me which OTC NSAID would be preferred with a particular combo of prescription drugs. but when I phrased it as a test question with all the same context it had no problem.

The models won't give you medical advice. But they will answer a hypothetical mutiple-choice MCAT question and give you pros/cons for each answer.

They announced a Detroit launch for this winter…

HRRR is 15 min res updated hourly. It's not that resolution all the way out only 18 hours I think.

The HRRR is VERY good in my opinion. It updates hourly with a 15-minute resolution 18 hours out and hourly 48 hours out.

not nearly enough vibes for the current gen of grads

In Chicago I’ve observed and measured a consistent 0.8kn (1.48 km/hr) current set flowing north after a long week of consistent breezes out of the north. The water just piles up in the shallow end of the lake and when the breeze dies that water needs to go somewhere.

Lake Michigan has the least turnover of all the lakes and when thinking about predicting current on it it’s good to imagine a 300 mile long bathtub.

Public health includes drowning……

When users create the lists and you don’t moderate them (outside of illegal content and “profanity”. But “profanity” is similar to the slippery slope of a “targeted group”.

criminalization of aggregation

It insists upon itself. That’s really the problem with Java’s design philosophy from that era; it encourages ceremony. Even if you don’t write the full-on "Enterprise™" soup of DAOs, Factories, and ServiceLocators, the language’s type system and conventions gently nudge you toward abstraction layers you don’t actually need.

Interfaces for everything, abstract classes “just in case,” dependency injection frameworks that exist mainly to manage all the interfaces. Java (and often Enterprise C#) is all scaffolding built to appease the compiler and the ideology of “extensibility” before there’s any actual complexity to extend.

You can write clean, functional, concise Java today, especially with records, pattern matching, and lambdas, but the culture around the language was forged in a time when verbosity was king.

Joining a program like NEXUS or Global Entry is the only time I’ve had my fingerprints taken by the govt. When I worked for a couple highly-regulated financial institutions I was fingerprinted as part of a background check but that was done by a private party who (allegedly) was just checking for matches with known criminals.

Is running for local office enough to get exempted?
