I guess best managers just develop the hunch and know when to do this and when to ask engineers for smallest details to potentially develop different solutions. You have to be technical enough to do this

It is extremely weird to me that countries don't do that on taxpayers money and show the results publicly, this is what they should do.

I host movie nights with friends and sometimes someone might even smoke in the room, air purifier clears the air quite fast and there absolutely are no odors left. So yeah you can and if you solder or 3d print often, I'd suggest to get one, they don't cost much.

I'm not allergic and air here is basically always perfect - 1-5 ppm, but I still love it. It does filter out allergens and people allergic to pets find it easier to breathe (I have a dog). It also lowers amount of dust a bit, and I have an automation to run it on full speed when robot vacuums floors, I think it might help filter some stuff out.

I wish there'd be a way to put activated carbon packs inside somehow, because I'd love to change it more often than the full filter.

He was shot in the neck because the shooter is amateur and didn't account for the bullet drop on this distance.

I hope they'll fix their rumored team wars inside the company.

I got soooo tired setting up a gaming system for parties on my projector. There are so many various problems and tweaks, gamepads disconnecting if you put a hand between the gamepad and the pc/playstation etc. BSODs on windows, driver problems and stupid obscure things varying from pc to pc. I want plug and play, but consoles have their own problems and limitations. I am too old to debug this stuff to play a game for so little time, I would rather not. I didn't really believe in steam machines at the time, but now I sort of do, especially with game streaming and local LLMs that might be hosted there now.

Also turned out that disassembling the mouse was easy, so you probably might just swap the wheel entirely.

As if google would say that yes, emails are $5/mo, but there's actually a limit on number of emails daily, and also number of characters in the email. It just feels so illegal to nerf a product that much.

Same with AI companies changing routing and making models dumber from time to time.

Another good suggestion was that it was used for knitting, there was a very cool video of this on YouTube somewhere.

And the last I like is it’s just a game.

I think it was one of the earliest multi-tools and all of these were what it was used for

You could even argue that without network effects AI is also very limited: way less users -> way worse models. It took OpenAI to commit capital first to pull this off.

The point is I think comparing these areas (and other tech) is still interesting and worthy.

Same for LLMs and AI: it is awesome for some things and absolutely sucks for other things. Curiously tho, it feels like UX was solved by making chats, but it actually still sucks enormously, as with crypto. It is mostly sufficient for doing basic stuff. It is difficult to predict where we'll land on the curve of difficult (or expensive) vs abilities. I'd bet AI will get way more capable, but even now you can't really deny its usefulness.
