I would say 300 is more than slightly longer. Varies by institution and style, but 100k words, 4-5 collated papers, 100-150 pages maximum are quite common. I would be concerned as an examiner if this came across my…
Always loved Iain M Banks' Culture series and it's very sad that he's not with us any more. If I could pick any fictional civ to live in, it'd be up there. The current discussion around alignment seems quite relevant.…

I would suggest watching the Animatrix - particularly The Second Renaissance (part 1 & 2) which tells the story of how humanity ended up at war with the machines. It's only about 10 minutes, but it's really well done.
ALDI/Lidl copy every big brand under the sun. They've been litigated against, but they get away with it way more often than they lose. Many cases fail to prove that consumers were misled, and (I find this incredible)…
If you were a superintelligence why would you farm humans and waste resources on all the excess... material... that isn't required for thought? And unless the machine's goal is to specifically abuse human consciousness,…
I consider myself a decent amateur baker and I've never noticed a huge difference in bread flours. I buy from a local mill because they sell interesting grains and I want to support them. Otherwise I get King Arthur, or…
Some thrift stores will take them, if you have a good one nearby. You can also put a note on your local freebie groups and someone might bite. In some cities you can leave them bagged outside your house with a note and…
I thought the same thing, and then wondered if this must be an enterprise problem, because what home user adds loads of icons - so many that IO becomes a concern - and also wants them to be randomly assigned to other…
Bootstrap was/is popular for the same reason. One framework and your site looks decent on almost any device. The downside is a bit like LLM work in that it all ends up looking like a Bootstrap site unless you’re a good…
In states with multi or all-party consent, there is usually some wording like "reasonable expectation" of privacy, which you don't have in public by default. The store could argue you have no expectation of privacy…
> Today, legitimate businesses are very careful about how they use bulk e-mail I don’t think this is remotely true. Sure, they’re legally obliged to let you unsubscribe, and sure, it’s not dick pills, but every US…
Do you mean 375 F? 60/40 is liquid at that temp (374 F). 375 C is way overkill for lead unless your iron is terrible.
My advice is to try letting the agent fill in the gaps. You can probably architect better than it can. Write your class outlines, explicitly define the public facing bits and what you want APIs to look like. Write the…
You can express a circuit as a graph, and many schematic formats are plaintext. Same goes for the Gerbers which are an ASCII format used to describe the masks that are used to define the PCB traces. The models are…
There's some cool research that looks at how strongly the weights are aligned through training vs adherence to the system prompt. Like when you know a model is lying through censorship:…
For stuff like this, definitely. It’s already exciting. Claude et al are surprisingly competent with real hardware. I’ve also had good success debugging basic issues with micros - not via the debugger, but giving…
The most interesting open source example of this I can think of is Ben Krasnow's (and friends') temperature reporting magnetic stir bar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh1SIfipQs4 The temp sensor and transceiver PCB…
You can stream Big Picture with tools like Sunshine/Moonlight or their forks. Works amazingly well over a LAN if you have a server somewhere and stream to something connected to the TV.
Easy enough, since this is how celestial navigation works, especially as we have very accurate clocks. You can get latitude from image declination and longitude from time, provided your clock is set from a good…
I want to believe this, but every time I try Gemini coding assistance within Colab it's utterly dire. Code gen in a cell is OK, but things fall apart when you try to get into a feedback loop. The system prompt/harness…
It’s curious that this doesn’t exist really. All the components are there, location via GPS, the tracking mechanics are not particularly difficult once you know the orientation, and there are good open plate solvers.…

It depends very much on the furniture, I think citation needed on exactly which items you’re talking about. Name and shame! The big wardrobes? They are the worst combination of impossibly heavy, awkward to disassemble…
