A similar one I recently discovered is https://www.youtube.com/@SleepOnPhysics. I think it was meant to put you to sleep with the detailed narrative, but I found it to be very interesting and captivating, especially for long drives. The content quality is pretty good, I am almost certain the audio is AI generated, but wonder how the content itself was authored.

There appears to be a severe regression in the Claude Code CLI that makes it nearly impossible to use for extended sessions right now. Since the weekend, premium quotas are being drained in 10 to 15 minutes. According to GitHub issue, the CLI is instantly hitting rate limits even with extremely high cache hit rates (98%+). A single workflow goes from 0 to 100% quota usage almost immediately. For a tool that costs 100+ dollars per month for these higher limits, getting locked out after two prompts is incredibly frustrating. Cant say if this is a temporary bug, or a taste of things to come.

You could get a dev board and a breakout board on aliexpress for less than $6 - this way you can get away without any soldering for most use cases. And if you use esphome and homeassistant, pretty much all code is just configuration and setup in homeassistant.

Yes! Would be interested in trying it out if you are looking for alpha users.

And more importantly, as I recall, you could install chrome frame without admin access.

That's a good bout of nostalgia - almost felt like watching an episode of Halt and Catch Fire. Joel, PG and Steve Yegge where some of the influential writers of that time who seemed to have a big impact on how people thought about careers, startups and corporate life.

So if I understood you and the original paper correctly, this observation is not in conflict with the Standard Model or Lambda-CDM and that this is an observational outcome of general relativity. Is that a correct statement? If so, then those models may need to incorporate why this may have happened, right?

Edit: Thank you for the detailed post. Learned a few things from it.

It was surprising to come across an article on geological or planet-scale phenomena that did not mention human activities as a contributing factor to the changes being discussed. Effects of Anthropocene are still only skin deep.

A few years ago, we were building somethings to integrate with multiple expense and invoice management systems. Concur's odata based APIs were by far one of the worst integration experiences I had. (Even worse than integrating with dot net SOAP APIs from AXIS and Java) You could see that some of the older APIs were well documented and thought out and the new versions were considerably worse. What we realized was that the earlier versions were built prior to SAP acquiring Concur.

Tangentially, kudos to them for listing out past team members on the about-us page. I've never seen anyone do that before.

That's "relatively" easy to do. Get in a space ship that could quickly get to a fraction of c, travel for a short amount of time and then return back to the starting point. You would have traveled to the future from the point of view of some one at the starting point.

> In India, for example, they use the lines between the segments of the fingers to count. > This means each digit can represent four numbers and the whole hand can represent 20.

The first part is true, but not the second part. You use the thumb as a pointer to track the lines on the other 4 fingers. So you count up to 16 on each hand. Besides, the thumb has 1 line segment less than the other fingers.

> This gets used to explain entanglement but it really has absolutely nothing to do with it. This is nothing that the ancient Greeks wouldn't have known.

To be fair, this usually crops up in entanglement discussions to deomonstrate how it can't be used for FTL communication and not to actually explain what entanglement is.
