My iPhone 13 Pro will be 5 years old next month. Battery capacity at 82%. Does that count as lasting 5+ years?
What is the problem with time descending blogs?
> we survived That shouldn't be the bar for most of what we do daily. We can also "survive" without doing any physical exercise. The question is: yes, we'll survive, but in which condition? i.e. is that healthy or not?
Yes, they're terrible. That's why relaxing the rules for fixed AC is the way to go.
Trees that disappear in huge fires more and more often, unfortunately.
"Switzerland outright not allowing residential ACs": That's not completely true, though. First, mobile/portable ACs are allowed pretty much everywhere in Switzerland, I think. Then, for fixed ACs, it depends in which…
> It's a shame though that this is gonna kill so many sites and projects. Sure we have ChatGPT, but also with things like Google AI summary getting so much better traffic to sites is going to plummet. Without people…
I've finished IMDb's top 250 a few years ago. I'm now using this list ("a list of greatest films of all time") as a reference: https://www.phi-phenomenon.org/ It's merging dozens of "greatest films" lists into a single…

Do you know this from personal experience or after watching a "Hamilton's Pharmacopeia" episode or a similar documentary?
It's difficult to know what people really believe, especially after only a few minutes of discussion, but I would say most people I talk to don't believe AGI is even possible. And they probably think their life won't be…
Isn't that an argument in favor of taking care of wild animals instead of continuing factory farming, though?
I read Ecclesiastes back in 2019. It's probably one of the more interesting books in the Bible. I wasn't particularly impressed with it, but it's a short read, so I still think it's a good suggestion, especially if…
I have the opposite anecdote. I left a lot of leaves on our lawn last winter (by pure laziness) and it definitely damaged the lawn. Edit: it was a rather young lawn, I guess (less than 2 years).
The only time I had to hire somebody, the university I was working for in Switzerland made it mandatory for the candidates to send their application via mail, not email. That was back in 2014. I found this odd at the…
I know people who still love to receive ads in the (physical) mail.
My latest LTS upgrade ended up completely breaking my RAID partitions. I had to completely reinstall everything. It took me days. This was not a smooth experience.
I guess it worked in the sense that most people listen to music using legal services, instead of still using eMule, BitTorrent, etc.
Isn't it perfectly normal/healthy to keep some of your private feelings totally private? Your best friends/spouses shouldn't necessarily be your psychotherapists.
Having kept a diary/journal since 1993 and reading old entries daily, I'm struck by how we often see the past through rose-tinted glasses. The opposite is also true: I tend to forget happy moments from long ago.
Kurzweil's book "The Singularity is Near" was published in 2005 and at the time he placed the technological singularity in 2045, so 40 years in the future. He said it was "near", because most people thought at the time…
What's ASI?
TIL: in French, "nightmare" is "cauchemar" and has the same etymology (the second part, at least).
I've been suffering of anxiety for decades. Nothing really serious. I stopped caffeine for one month in 2022, cold turkey. No coffee. No tea. No chocolate. I stopped alcohol as well (I don't drink much, so it wasn't…
