I have learned to do this quite late in my life and by accident, to relieve acute physical pain.

Would be interesting to know why yawning induces sleep at all.

I've read it as "genocide" too and I scrolled down to see if there were any comments like yours. I wasn't disappointed.

I would be more cautious in generalizing this feeling. To me that interface feels daunting and cognitively taxing, compared to a CLI or command palette.

I wonder if we could engineer a lighter ink

This is also not Reddit where you call for mods to remove things you find uncomfortable. I'd rather this guy be talked out of his delusions rather than letting him become more aggravated alone. Failing that, other people who were about to consider embarking on the same delusions would be hopefully discouraged by the rational replies.

> Beyond that, is there a viable competitor available for an US allied nation to purchase?

Not available yet, but Korean KF-21 and Turkish Kaan/TF-X (which Spain is thinking about buying/co-producing IIRC), though they're both considered 4.5th gen fighter jets rather than 5th like the F-35.

How do you deal with emails bouncing or going to spam? I have been looking to move away from Gmail but last I read it was the only reliable option out there.

In your case the jobs look closely related, don't they?

They have the advantage to be able to rectify their errors and have a big leg up if they ever decide to specialize.

A $xxxx 2.5 year old laptop, one that's probably much more powerful than an average laptop bought today and probably next year as well. I don't think it's a fair reference point.

You basically want a cognitive aid device?

New comment by maksimur in "YouTube No Translation"

maksimur — Sat, 19 Jul 2025 17:44:16 +0000

I wouldn't mind and I would actually prefer if things were translated correctly, adapting to local slang, cultural references and the likes. As of now translations are weird if not outright cringey. This is a problem with LLMs in general (probably because they're trained mostly on English data), although to a lesser degree, but enough that I have to correct them daily.

New comment by maksimur in "What's happening to reading?"

maksimur — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 20:59:02 +0000

I wonder if we even need to consume content by reading, as opposed to watching or listening, to be neurologically healthy and developed, considering it's something we didn't start doing until a few thousand years ago. Isn't reading kind of a specialization of watching?

I think it depends. An athlete might want to keep the same or less weight for performance or aesthetical reasons.
