Interesting! Thanks for the great info. Do you know if anyone will have the opportunity to integrate observations into the model so it can continue to improve?

I mean, this is good news, but why was the efficiency of the system so misunderstood at the design phase? I hope someone's interested enough to find out!

...but why wouldn't they use AI as an oracle? From an outsider's perspective, it seems that there's already plenty of incentive to test the margins of acceptable academic practice in order to produce more papers or publish more quickly. Sadly I feel like it'll become the norm to have a chatbot interpret your results and write your paper rather than using those expensive grad students.
I don't have answers; just the lingering question "why are we building this?"

The first recorded use of the word "busybody" was in 1526, per Merriam Webster. Some people just feel like it's their duty to tell the world how to be. I think it's just human nature.

As a former iOS engineer at Apple, and a dvorak user, I can verify that this is exactly the thinking (during my time) of why dvorak support wasn't a development priority. The properties which make it good for typing make it bad for a phone keyboard.

I've been working in climate tech for about 7 years now, at https://sense.com. Very fulfilling. We're hiring in lots of roles. Feel free to get in touch. (Email in profile.)

Should be marked [2016], it seems.

I was wondering if you could defeat the beans/lentils by injecting some water vapor in there (while maintaining the vacuum & placement of the items), and freezing the whole thing. Then cut it open under hard freeze and maybe everything sticks together.

I made one of these halos 2 years ago, and my anecdotal experience is that the older (fully grown) sparrows can't figure it out, but the smaller, younger ones get through. Then, weeks later, I see fully grown sparrows at the feeder, ignoring the halo. Did the little ones "fit" and then grew too used to it to be spooked? Did the big ones learn from the little ones? I don't know.
Another observation: Because of the number of sparrows, I did pull the whole feeder down and kept it down for months. Then, when winter approached, I put the feeder and the halo back up, and no house sparrows made it through again. Did the adults who were defeating it before forget? Move on? Die? Who knows!

No. It only works if you're so familiar with the previous UI than your pattern recognition kicks in. Someone who sees this for the first time will have no idea what it means. It's inaccessible to the novice.
Also, tabs without a favicon don't start with an icon at all.

I burned out my XPS 15 USB-C charging electronics by using a high-end charger. I think many laptops of a certain age were not rigorously tested for USB charging. Hopefully that's changing.
