The Culture is the absolute best case scenario for humanity. It is my comfort reading for this reason.

A real jaw dropper, that one

Ah, I was reading it as an ornate pen nib.

2,5 and 9 are my favourites too. I think 5 might work better upside down?

Also, the text says 2 to 1 margin, which would imply 66%

Edit: its 47 to 23, some don’t know.

And how many of the ones that think him racist, care about him being so?

Thanks! I wasn’t expecting to actually get an answer, that was a fascinating read.

So someone had claude write a C compiler in rust, which doesn’t work, because it can’t find the C standard libraries.

Would be interesting to read how claude was prompted to do this.

It sounds to me that she likes you. Giving a gift and making a counter proposal for a meeting time both speak to that.

Surely she won’t mind the flowers, if she’s gotten around to tell you what type she likes. My only concern is logistical: where will the flowers be while you are at the event? Or will you pick her up and she can leave them at her place?

Perhaps you could combine 2 and 3? You could tell her at some point that you are excited to meet her again and were already thinking about wednesday, then ask how she feels about meeting so often and direct the conversation to what she is looking for from the relationship and over what timeframe. The reason I suggest this is that it might feel less like putting her on the spot on “where are we going with this” and making the question “would meeting already on Wednesday be too intense for you”.

It’s good to think about framing questions, but the most important thing is reading the situation and caring about how she feels. The latter you clearly do already.

You’ll do well.

And if you feel like it, we will appreciate hearing how it went.

Ohhh, I had missed that, thanks! Conveniently I will be riding a train for 4 hours tomorrow.

Not a lecture series, but I will admit to watching pretty much every video he has on YT. Where is the lecture series published?

What an example of the credible commitment problem, doubled with an Uno Reverse.

Whenever someone says ‘om nom’ I imagine the sound emanating from this cat eating a cheeseburger.

Or they see the ability to selectively block printability of guns as a first step.

Preventing competing items for commercial products as the second.

Preventing repair of broken products as third.

I know this might not be an option for you, but I have used Home Assistant for this purpose. Simply install a HA instance and enroll both of your handsets with the companion app.

The challenge with apps like this is, that they need some kind of server by definition.

Let me know what you find.

It is amazing that in 8 years Gagarin was already orbiting the earth.

Rutte is an artist at that, but to be fair that is his job. “The Germans down and Americans in” I believe was the expression.

Depends on the number of potatoes I’m sure.

That looks like a fun build and I already have a lava lamp! Anyone got an RPG-7 they can spare?
