If you can see it’s a salesperson you can ignore them but answer if it’s the mailman/UPS. Get notified that a package was dropped off… or that shortly thereafter some rando walks up to said package.

Think of it as a door-peephole-at-range.

Depends. Normally yes (I’ve been in data centers like you’re talking about), but because it’s likely using GPUs for the LLM it’s probably considerably louder. Closer to this, which is a crypto mine: https://theweek.com/tech/the-noise-of-bitcoin-mining-is-driving-americans-crazy

I get where you’re coming from, but that’s not microshifting. They’re talking about still working the hours, but with longer gaps and longer time between “first on” and “last off”. Leave at 3pm, but then work from 9-11pm, for instance.

Those are fantastic photos btw!

The crazy part is just how small the total area for saguaro cactus is.

There is so much in that composition that you wonder how a 14 year-old could’ve come up with that… And then you learn that a common thing at the time was to do your “take” on a famous painting/drawing, and it became a “aha“ moment.

Not to belittle his work at all, it’s still damn impressive, but he was indeed building on the work of others at the time, just like others did with him.

It misses so much context that even the Kimball (and its Wikipedia page) adds. This was Michelangelo’s take on The Temptation of Saint Anthony. Yes, he made changes, and yes he was talented. But compare the two.

Think of the difference between VR and a normal TV. Same thing with positional audio/7.1 headphones/binaural vs regular headphones

Those band names are inspired.

It’s effing hard. Doubled the numbers on one community after a year. Both of us are a bit depressed by that.

There are hundreds of us. Maybe thousands!

The next Bandcamp Friday is Feb 6 (Bandcamp foregoes their cut).

Only if you then make * Explodey * hand gesture. Though I guess you could do snail & horns

It was that end credit when I realized it wasn’t real.

And therefore you get this: https://youtu.be/e4Br7vvebFI

Zenni. Have your doc write a scrip for standalone monitor glasses and have them fill that. (Had bad luck with Zenni doing progressives, but a simple reader prescription? $20)

Roosters can do cyclical breathing?

Love it! “Hatebeak made its second record with Caninus, a band whose lead singers were two dogs.”

“I am not a parrot”

That was a crap ton cooler and more coherent than this kid today was. :)

The bigger question is, how do you fight this or reprogram people who are “all in” on it? Mocking them? Don’t just point out the stupidity - that derails the actual point.
