I would love a reset button so as to return to the state I found the puzzle in when I just loaded the page.

Vibe coding can yield us Tauri apps that end up being like 3mb rather than 130mb for a "Hello World" app.

Try steel manning the argument - the practice of rebuilding an opposing view into its strongest, most logical form before responding to it.

There is literally concerns over mirror life being developed. The point is that if a system that has high reasoning capacity to solve logistical and mathematical problems, it may be able to come up with a mechanism you, puny-to-it-human, may not be able to predict. It may use technology not yet known to humans (one that it has designed itself), or may use already known technology, but figure out how to scale it up enough to cause earth-wide disaster for humans.

I visited the Shimano Bicycle Museum two years ago and it was a delight. Their new museum is even better than the one they had about a decade ago (smaller building inside the large Daisen Park nearby).

When I purchased the ticket I was offered an English version of the history of bikes presentation in the main hall. I politely declined, but was later politely approached with a piece of paper handwritten with a time the English version would play. I attended and was so glad I did. It was a beautifully presented showcase of bikes across history (with individual bikes in the room being thoughtfully-timely lit up as the video described them).

Really worth going. And I super love Japan and the way I've been treated wherever I went. I've been to Japan about a dozen times now over the last 20 years - it's my favorite place to be.

It's my duty again to point out the popular request of including a 4DWW tag in the description to communicate community interest in the Four Day Work Week

Four characters more in the description is all we ask <bowing>

The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality by Andy Clark

So far read about 20%, seems like a lovely theory tying together a lot about how the mind works.

I wonder what fraction of Flock cameras will be destroyed during National DeFlock Day (Halloween).
