Not even sure why we need a parking mode for the lights now. Sounds like a legacy thing
I saw an article a couple of days ago on one of the popular sites (ft or Bloomberg or something), about how now is a great opportunity to purchase private company credit.
Guess this is the submarine

Knowing something is proven true is knowledge, even if the mechanics of the proof are not understood.
Like the good nepotistic society we are
Have your MCP talk to my MCP
It is insane to me that US allows a private entity to video and catalogue individuals on any pubic space they want. In my country (EU), you are not allowed to point a security camera on a public space, to the point where evidence from such cameras are inadmissible to court
If it lives up to the hype it will definitely recoup the expense.

might be easier to align the super intelligence than Trump
Nice iron,a good clamping set-up, and a high-quality correctly specked (to the task) solder make all the difference
Accept that you lost. Apologize for the mistake. Pay a few billions for repatriations, lift sanctions and open dialogue. But engaging into a multi-year trillion war is more likely, than accepting defeat upfront
Any recommendations on pre-cut wiring kits?
I ve modified my ZigBee bathroom led light. Replaced the daughterboard with an esp32, integrated a humidity sensor and a presence sensor, another rely and a power circuit, and I now have a bathroom light that lights up automatically when someone is in the room, and turns on the extractor only if the humidity is a ove a certain level.
I ve done all this by taking photos of the circuits and asking Gemini how to do it.
Look into cooperative game theory. If I remember correctly, trust is modelled as a way of exchanging information and influencing the probabilities that other players place on your next action
It's part of the parental responsibility to provide enough structure and instill enough discipline to your kids so that they grow to be complete persons. Sure it will be nice if social media was restricted like tobacco, and I am sure one day it will, but you can't relegate all responsibility for everything to the state. I don't want to live in a bubble wrapped society for the sake of the children.
I am sure the coca-cola boss limits his kids soft drink consumption too.
I've been programming esp32 connected with soil moisture sensors and solenoid valves to water each individual pot of plants according to its own readings, instead of having a centrally controlled irrigation system. Overkill, I know, but with a cost of 8-10usd per set up it is not expensive
Don't know about mRNA but individualized remedies based on CAR-T technology have been making significant strides in this area, with major commercialisation expected in the next 1-2 years
For some reason I thought this would be about dealing with very large insects
I am doing my movie selection via Plex, which has both tomatoes' and IMDb scores in the movie description
You grossly underestimate the pettiness and pedantry of those involved

TIL that the earth is pulsing every 26 seconds, the so called earth heartbeat. However, it seems impossible to verify from a reputable source. Gemini very assertively declares the fact to be true, but it only cites an article from Discover Magazine, which I've never heard before. Is it possible to verify such claim?
My layman take is that like the oil in your car, there is a minimum value you need to be above, and a maximum value you need to stay below. Statin is for treating people that are above the max, so that they drop within acceptable range. Not for lowering the cholesterol to be a slow as possible
I was in a similar boat with my scrapers. Started with Selenium 5-6 years ago and only discovered Playwright 2 years ago. Spend a month or so swapping the two, which was well worth it. Cleaner API, async support.
I "prompt prong", i.e pass all the AI emails that I receive through an AI and ask it to write a response. At what point do we get the 2 AIs to email each other directly, without as bio-agents having to pretend that we wrote/read them?
Exactly. I think both parties (him and his VP) are now realising that maybe this person will be happier/better suited as an IC
Thinking about this more. I guess my n=5 observation is that committal engineers tend to have specific expectations about the performance of their teammates, and hence produce similarly performing teams to them
