15 min ago I saw it north from Denver - half of the sky was red.

Water boils at lower temperature because of lower pressure at higher altitude. As a result cooking is different - normal recipes don’t work as expected. From my personal anecdotal experience even grilling somehow is different at 8000ft.

Fun fact that Masimo acquired Sound United in 2022 for 1B. Neither market nor investors were happy about this strange choice of company with health equipment focus doing this move. In 2024 Masimo changed CEO and now divesting audio brands business for just 350M.

Paywalled. The only content I see on the page:

``` Grok-3 appears to be state of the art; that speaks to the power of Nvidia, and actually increases the pressure to spend more. ```

I’ve installed 4 similar skylight lamps to the basement. Bought them on Amazon for 700$ each (had to replace 1 because it had uneven light). They make basement light much closer to ourdoor light and made basement very cozy and comfortable. I had depth space in the ceiling, but width of the lamp didn’t fit between joists - so could not push lamp all the way at the ceiling level. End up building nice boxing around lamp. So it was medium complexity project with great result.

I really miss StackOverflow Careers because they had exactly this feature - I enter my career details once and SO Careers allow me to generate nice CV in PDF format. Personally I’ve found couple great jobs though SO Careers, it is sad that SO decided to shutdown Careers business.

I can suggest improvement - combining long running e2e tests with notebooks is even better match

This is nice of them. I think this is because screen replacement was required and them not having SE2 in stock.

> I predict they'll produce another small phone in a few years. It'll sell well due to pent up demand, and someone will be declared a genius for selling 100M's of extra phones that year.

I’d wish this too. I’m afraid that Apple over the next few year would become more risk averse then ever before. Also old Execs are leaving and retiring - so less people with hands on experience how to start new products VS keeping lights on.

They would tell you and you would notice if your phone was replaced - it would have new serial and 2FA apps won't work on a new phone without reregistration.

Most likely it took them a week to get a new battery for replacement shipped.

I've successfully have replaced batteries and displays in older iphones (mainly iphone 6). But with newer iphones opening the phone is more complex.

I've read online and heard from Apple Store representative that iPhone 12 (all models) has tendency to crack the screen when phone is opened for repair or battery replacement and in that case Apple Store would replace the hole phone (this is were multi day repair process). So I would rather pay $90 to Apple that guarantees that I'll get a phone replacement in case when screen is broken during battery replacement. Without the phone I sill would be able to answer the cell calls from Apple Watch and with ipad over WiFi.

Good luck. I’ve tried to replace battery in mine 12 mini last week - with no success. I had to leave my phone for 4 hours or several days (if they brake screen during battery replacement, they will wait for replacement phone to be shipped overnight). Also representative was convincing me to buy a new phone - saying that battery replacement won’t help much because new ios versions has features which high battery usages, while newer iphones has larger battery and hardware optimizations for these new features. I’m thinking about iPhone 16 now while keeping iPhone 12 mini as backup phone.

Awesome. Does planetscale vector support multi node indices (like Milvus) and even further blob store index storage which can be separate from compute, allowing to pay for compute on demand when queries are run?

+1 . I have nothing to upgrade to from my iPhone 12 mini. Probably will replace battery and keep it running for couple more years.
