If it’s deterministic, I don’t see it as AI.

Funny, but would you be OK posting jokes as text? It’s harder to read with the small text on a big image, not to mention accessibility.

I do have some kapton tape. I’ve heard black sharpie on masking tape too. The cutoff piece was definitely uncomfortable to hold but not in the range of instant burns; also a pretty dull surface. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a bit about 107⁰F but I don’t think it was near 300⁰F.

I’ll have to take a thermal image next time I’m using the bandsaw! My understanding is part of the benefit of the long blade loop is heat dissipation.

I assumed it was because the blades wear quickly, but I wonder if it affects great dissipation too.

A clear case of

Ouch, hope it mends fast.

Welp, how is MapQuest these days?

Edit: Actually, looks pretty good. I didn’t know why OpenStreetMap can’t autocomplete an address to save its life, but MapQuest does fine. Also, Yelp review integration and I didn’t see obviously sponsored chains.

No public transit directions apparently? Which would be a problem if it weren’t always faster to bike than take transit in Boston.

Very cool! Did you see the moth?

Interesting read. HCI (human-computer interaction) turns out to still be very important.

“Crash” seems hyperbolic, but clearly in the video the driving software choose to push through bollards rather than back up to get out of a prohibited part of the road.

And a lot of enabling parents.

The best would have been to get the core out non-destructively and extract the broken key. 2nd best would have been to learn some hidden catch or screw I didn’t see before, in case there’s a next time. But yes, ultimately I did get the chain loose, and also confirm there wasn’t some other way I had missed of getting to the core.

Nothing. I’ve talked to police officers who had parked in the bike lane. They basically said “don’t annoy me.”

Now, a $1,999 MacBook Pro can have a monthly payment of $38.99 over 36 months.

$38.99 * 36 = $1403.64. That doesn’t seem right.

Macrumors has a more detailed analysis (different device in their example):

If you return the iPhone 17 Pro and simply move on from the Apple Upgrade program, then your total cost to own the device would be $551.88 after 12 months, plus sales tax if applicable. While that is less than paying $1,099 upfront, the catch is that you are no longer in possession of the device after your lease ends and cannot resell it or trade it in.

Seems like it’s just designed to keep people buying new hardware regularly.

As it skims within a cooee of Earth, our planet’s gravity will tug on it strongly enough to alter its spin, potentially trigger landslides and even asteroid quakes, and perhaps reveal what’s hidden beneath its surface. Two spacecraft – ESA’s RAMSES mission and NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX – plan to watch the encounter unfold in unprecedented detail.

And there was actual interesting science to put in the headline!

preliminary information indicated an “in-flight emergency” was to blame, without offering more details.

I’ll be interested to read more when it’s available. I’ve been on a similar tour.

Such accidents have occurred before. In 2022, seven people were killed in a plane crash, including two Chileans and three Dutch nationals.

In October 2010, four British tourists and two Peruvian crew members died when an AirNasca plane crashed after taking the tourists to view the site.

Just small planes being more dangerous?

Not a lot of reporting in it yet, but I see an article from 404 media. Maybe I’ll donate to them instead.

Find this reference on Reddit.

I think I’ll stop my donations. Nothing gets executives’ attention like dropping revenue. I read a lot of exec responses to employee dissatisfaction at other big tech companies that basically said ‘too bad if a bunch of you are unhappy, the company is doing great so we’re right, you can leave.’
