  • Tuca and Bertie and Long Story Short are by the same studio that made Bojack Horseman.

  • Millennials caught the tail end of physical 3rd spaces, but experienced the golden age of digital third spaces. The internet until the mid 2000s was way more decentralised and chaotic.

    Instead of anonymous chatrooms and forums as digital 3rd spaces, Zoomers used less accessible proprietary options such as Discord or Twitch instead.

  • Usual suspects

  • As someone completely unfamiliar with the JavaScript mess, are these security issues specific to npm the actual repository or npm the package manager?

    If it's the latter, does using something else like yarn or bun instead help?

  • Smh Anything to avoid releasing sex 2

  • Are they planning to let AIs control desktop peripheral input?

    Yes. Since 1-2 years ago there's been an AI browser war, where tech companies are racing to have LLM agents browse the internet for you.

    For it to be useful you'd need the AI to have full screen visibility

    Exactly what they are pushing for, see Microsoft Recall, Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, etc.

  • Unless you forced everyone to install standardized mailboxes

    This seems to be the exact direction China is going in.

    In major cities, there are increasingly more smart mailbox/parcel pickup points in apartments and central areas. These aren't "forced," but so many essential services are locked behind these private tech platforms.

    Originally designed for food delivery drop offs, but you can use them as a mailbox as well.

  • This is commonly done for the purposes of replicability, but is not at all how these models are deployed in practice.

    Larger institutions, especially those with strict data privacy requirements, are deploying locally hosted models permanently RAGed to their own internally vetted documentation.

    It would've been much more interesting to see how much RAG setups fail, contrary to their marketed promises.

    From experience, RAGs do help reduce hallucinations, but LLMs still do dumb things, like jumble up numbers. There were many cases where the LLM confidently presented some numerical results, but the number existed somewhere else entirely, like a footnote on the same page.

  • How are electricity rates set in the UK? Some countries have companies that offer an off peak rate which can be zero during specific hours of the day.

  • Lisdexafetamine is somewhat unique because the slow release mechanism is more or less inherent to the actual drug itself. That is, the fact that lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug that needs to be processed into dextroamphetamine (the actual stimulant) is the slow release mechanism itself.

    Methylphenidate is different because the chemical itself is the stimulant, so pharmaceutical companies need to come up with ways to physically release it slowly, e.g. via mini capsules that dissolve slowly.

    Unfortunately every brand and formulation kind of does their own thing in order to differentiate themselves from generics.

    IIRC Concerta was the most "advanced" in the sense that they formulated a special double release system where each dose also dissolved slowly. Ritalin LA is much jankier because it basically just released a second or third dose all once later on.

    You can search "name of drug" + pharmacokinetics to get more graphs, which in combination with keeping a mood diary can help in nailing down hat works for you.

  • pandoc. Converts markdown to html, latex, pdf, and Word.

    It serves as the backend behind basically every program that support some kind of rendering of markdown, e.g. quarto, ipython notebooks.

  • I am actually so thankful for the AI voices.

    I used to feel guilty for dismissing videos with thick accents because I couldn't tell if it was the content was trash or I just couldn't understand the accent.

    Now with AI voices I can confirm that the content was indeed just trash.
