That's my impression too, that my thoughts are a hybrid, where I'll think in a rapid sequence of whole concepts and visual flashes, and then summarize that in my inner voice "for the record", as a jumping-off point for the next batch of thoughts. But I don't have much control over this, as my inner voice is hard to shut up for any length of time, always giving a running narrative.

There are different grades or constructions of hardcovers. What you're describing is likely a cheap adhesive casebound. At the other end are the lay-flat hardcovers with sewn signatures and a specially constructed flexible spine. Those are a joy to read.

Don't be so hard on them. Their COBOL program is probably limited to 80 character records, so they'll fit on a punched card.

Yeah these "signs" are almost 100 years old now: "This text first appeared in an engineering journal in about 1919"[0]. Ngram Viewer and newspapers.com confirm that.

Sorry but for the record, that's a frequently repeated but unsourced misattribution. Earliest variant found is from 1951.

Maybe it was thinking it would be like 2600? https://www.2600.com

Futurama covered this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasites_Lost

The earliest I could find in newspapers is December 1978 ($169 in Danbury CT).

Lots of other products named "Concept II" too.

The chart defaults to ending at 2025. Move the right timeline marker all the way to the right (today).

Jump down to the Cause section. Millions of high-powered electric kettles being switched on during a popular show's break.

You're probably looking for Koomey's Law, though it has also slowed down.

If you're looking for farmers who aren't averse to tech, there are a number with YouTube channels. They're also the sort who love to talk to people. That may skew their opinions from the norm, of course.

The trick for trees is capillaries, which change the equation. The 10 meter limit only applies to larger columns. With capillaries there's a high negative tension that allows evaporation from leaves to pull the xylem sap up 100 meters or more.

There's no free lunch here. The Sun drives the evaporation, and if the tree were in a closed system with no solar input, the humidity would eventually get high enough to stop it.

Not flat between the wheel wells (42.9"), but on top of them. There's a photo (don't know if it's real though).

"Ads may appear for users on the Free and Go plans" and "we will not show ads in accounts where the user tells us or we predict that they are under 18"

Could be that based on your prompts it had just decided you were an adult, and started throwing ads at you.

rlwimi was a nice one, especially for emulators.

And it also had eieio, Enforce In-Order Execution of I/O.

It's unrelated to the book, other than the title.

The goal here is neutral buoyancy when in gravity so that it behaves as though there were no gravity. Put a bag of water in water and it floats like the rest of the water, gravity or no.

In System Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, add the shortcut: app Safari, name "Quit Safari", command-option-Q. This will leave command-Q doing nothing, yet still allow you to quit. Repeat for other apps.

That outfit was typical of clowns in 1890, and often used in the opera Pagliacci about a clown.

If it’s showing surface winds, it goes up. On windy.com there’s an altitude slider that lets you choose which wind level you’re looking at. Haven’t found that yet here.

I'd like to see the internet return to those who aren't putting it out there for money, so AI companies (and anyone else) hoovering it up wouldn't bother them. Sharing should be the point.

Would also result in fewer sites with ads -- yay!

GPT5.2 does catch it and warns to not trust anything else in the post, saying no competent person would confuse these units.

I wonder if even the simplest LLM would make this particular mistake.

That's odd. ChatGPT (5.1) tells me Safari does not open an audio capture session for 'capability negotiation' that would show the mic icon.

I assume you have Safari > Settings > Websites > Microphone > facebook.com set to the default "Ask", or to "Deny"? Also check any installed extensions.

ChatGPT 5.1-Thinking, after having this pointed out: Short answer: no, your version isn’t the classic one, and my previous answer treated it as if it were. That was me pattern-matching too fast.

"One test, called a destructive physical analysis, involved dismantling small cylindrical batteries. This immediately revealed differences in quality."

Title I see: "CPython may go Rusty, but older platforms risk getting iced out"

There are other possibilities, the most likely being that the slide was already in the process of breaking when the child used it last, and he noticed that before others did.

Yes, I've seen occasional strange responses to seemingly innocuous prompts. Often a retry will succeed, but I've had to give up on some.

I doubt it's the model itself in most cases, as it doesn't have much introspection. Its explanations will be what it can deduce from whatever it does have.

In US cities they have substations and neighborhood stations. I'd guess one of those.
