Seiche events and particular types of ice. Here’s a cool video. https://youtu.be/JFFhD5HeByM

I wonder why they don’t mention all the incidents of people from other countries being put in detention/jail/gulag…

No, that’s quite literally the reason that Apple is so big. They successfully made MP3’s easy to get from CD, add to device and play. , I owned an early MP3 player, and ripping mp3s from CD and loading sucked compared to the first iPod/iTunes. Of course, over time it got better on the PC side, but it was trivial to teach somebody like your parents how to get their music on an iPod.

It’s why Slashdot still gets mocked for their iPod review. While there were other MP3 players that had more storage or battery life, the cohesiveness of iPod/iTunes was unmatched, and that’s why few remember the nomad but every one remembers the iPod

Thanks, much appreciated!

They’re major mortgage lenders. This would probably cause Great Recession 2, housing boogaloo

Can you please share a simple prompt? I’ve heard of RAG, but was unaware how you could use it in this case. Is this something you can only do with a local LLM? Or can you plug this into GitHub copilot or the like?

Dammit. I loved Zahn over the past 30+ years and that’s a shame. I figured/expected better from him.

Look at UNH closer - it’s half what it was a month ago. +17.56 was because they just brought back an old CEO on friday. And Tesla is down $9 since close on Friday. The doge is a nice touch, though. LOL

Unsure what NOYB is, even after skimming this, but an interesting bit in there about how people wouldn’t have the right to be forgotten once the AI has been trained.

He was telling a joke, apparently.

Weird he’s telling them to tank their stock. That said, also crazy what the stock has done since last April.

I thought the invisible hand was always right? This isn’t the government banning things, it’s its people and companies doing so. He also sounds like a lickspittle “I’ve been giving my marching orders”. Which part, where trump says “never say never”?.

Allegedly

Looking for iOS recommendations, preferably without a subscription that can read epub/pdf

I was honestly hoping that’s where phones would go - watch for calls and standard phone stuff, tablet for anything big. Now I think there’s a place for glasses instead, and def for all the various things we do when standing around bored

The articles from that site all seem like some tween’s passion project.

that was a lot of fun! I only know one of those people, time to go read their profiles!

“Most” people do. 51%. I thought it would be lower, too.

Woot! Thanks!

Thank you.
