This is a really cool project. Love it. Why not extend to union, difference, and xor? Is that exercise left to the reader or is it not tractable? ;)

I'm also curious if you've consider fuzz testing this system to verify the results.

I extended weather history to 1 hour and added forecast for the next hour, too.

The data is available and I am considering it. Thanks for suggesting it!

No thanks!

Another way of saying it, if an AI agent doesn't have true risk of oblivion (or mortality in the biological sense), it will not be incentivized to avoid it (or develop the ancillary processes associated with this avoidance ie desire to self-replicate).

An AI agent is not "conscious" without having skin in the game.

In my own experience, nano banana still has the tendency to:

- make massive, seemingly random edits to images - adjust image scale - make very fine grained but pervasive detail changes obvious in an image diff

For instance, I have found that nano-banana will sporadically add a (convincing) fireplace to a room or new garage behind a house. This happens even with explicit "ALL CAPS" instructions not to do so. This happens sporadically, even when the temperature is set to zero, and makes it impossible to build a reliable app.

Has anyone had a better experience?

The right answer for most people is to simply leave and pursue their ideals in a more favorable venue.

The same thing has happened to me with political donations. Every day I receive an email from a different candidate. It is like whack a mole.

Great graphic on the environmental impacts of different kinds of grocery bags: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/grocery-bag-environmental...

In short, single use plastic bags are very hard to beat.

Yes, but who wants to pay more for them? It's very hard to beat single use plastic bags for environmental impact: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/grocery-bag-environmental...

Higharc | Senior Frontend Engineer, Senior SDET | Full-time | Durham, NC, San Francisco, CA, remote | higharc.com

Higharc has built a cloud platform for homebuilders (build >80% of homes built in the US every year) that massively reduces the burden of producing construction documents, material counts, and sales tools. At the center of the platform is an in-browser CAD system that allows builders to model homes with the information needed to support the complexity of their business. We raised a $53 million series B in 2023.

Technologies: Next.js, TypeScript, React

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that all the data about these "UFO"'s:

1. is conspicuously low quality, grainy 2. presents inconsistent imagery of the phenomenon 3. originates from sensor equipment most laymen are unfamiliar with and thus unable to know if they've been spoofed 4. presented in the context of clickbaity commentary

Interesting, but they commissioned it. :) I'm curious if there are other assessments with different methodologies, different outcomes.

This look exciting, but I am obsessed with the lack of subpixel rendering for fonts in godot (imgui, nanovg, etc). The fonts just look crummy to me.

As I understand it, subpixel rendering is a treacherous patent landscape. Is that the reason why it is consistently missing from these tools?

Despite an increase in speed, people insist on adding more to the web.

As an 18 year old, I had zero job experience so I could never find a job.

I bought a lawnmower on craigslist and started putting up flyers. This set me back ~$75 at the time. I also did odd job painting and handyman jobs. I found a solid collection of clients fairly quickly and just walked around the neighborhood.

How commonly used is GTAO? Is it as practical to implement and performant as SSAO? I couldn't get much from reading the abstract.
