And other major expansions for elden ring and FFXIV released recently. There’s potential overlap in the player base. 90% is a big dip though.

No, I have a subscription to Brandywine - they’re based out of Wilmington, Delaware.

It looks like what happened is that the roasters listed didn’t inform the FDA properly of their roasting processes, which led the FDA to assume that the coffee may be a vector that is conducive to botulism.

No cases were reported because of this, but the recall is out of an abundance of safety.

Mad love for Qobuz.

Very good movie

It looks like she stopped practicing last year in order to focus on her pro-life political stance. I personally know one physician (my partner worked with them previously) that works at this practice… And they’re not a right-wing nut. Ingrid on the other hand…

Private company in what way? The company is publicly traded - there are rules and regulations that organizations have to abide by. it’s not totally lawless current state … They’re legally beholden to shareholders to maximize value. They can do what they like but probably don’t want them allowing certain folks to have a platform (moderating the platform). Meta uses the grey area to manipulate and addict users, that’s just their business practice to drive value and generate views/engagement with their platform.

Agree this dude is unhinged.

From the article:

“Public filings also showed that Huffman and Reddit’s chief operating officer, Jennifer Wong, were paid $286 million in 2023, including stock and option awards (the value accrues over several years, and the current cash value is substantially lower).”

Were they actually compensated that amount in cash? Or is this assuming that the stock value actually amounts to something.

Obviously compensated too much, but it looks like the compensation total is being obfuscated for shock value.

Ai summary of the article if you don’t wanna click the link:

A recent poll found that 76% of respondents agreed that Google CEO Sundar Pichai is comparable to Steve Ballmer, who led Microsoft during a period of decline. Both men took over from revolutionary founders as business managers focused on profits rather than innovation. However, under Pichai’s leadership, Google has lost its dominance in areas like search and AI, with competitors like OpenAI making strides. Many argue Google search has become cluttered with irrelevant results, while former employees say visionary leadership is lacking. There is a sense that Pichai’s Google is no longer the innovative company it was and risks losing further ground to emerging technologies if it does not recapture its start-up spirit.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re not off base. My family is Hispanic and my mom would love it if I lived with her till I’m 40.

I recently read that data collection/sale as an “edge service” has been a part of Toyota’s strategy for a hot minute.

“You may not be surprised that a company like Toyota uses technology it installs in all the cars it sells in Japan to produce data that powers its onboard GPS service. You may be more interested to know that Toyota recognized that the value of this data was not uniquely associated with its primary use. As we will discover in chapter 8, this insight enabled Toyota to successfully launch a new business offering traffic telematics services to businesses and municipalities across Japan using the same data.”

Yes - I didn’t have time to watch the video and wanted a text summary. Thought others might find it useful

Shuji Nakamura was a researcher at Nichia who was determined to create the first blue LED, which had eluded scientists for decades. Through innovative crystal growth techniques and materials discoveries, he succeeded in developing bright blue and white LEDs in the early 1990s. This breakthrough enabled LEDs to be used for full-spectrum lighting. Nichia’s fortunes grew enormously as a result, though Nakamura was not properly compensated for his invention. Today, LEDs powered by Nakamura’s blue LED technology are ubiquitous and have brought enormous energy savings worldwide.

Something interesting I found was that Nakamura persisted in his research for blue LEDs against the wishes of his company management, who saw it as a waste of resources. His stubbornness and belief in his work paid off by solving a problem that had stumped the electronics industry for 30 years.

Can’t play certain games* without windows

Pretty amazing. In a realm where rigorous training often overshadows the joy of sports, Courtney Dauwalter stands as a symbol of unconventional success, proving that embracing life’s richness can coexist with athletic excellence.

She doesn’t appear to take herself too seriously. The article mentions that she was a biology teacher previously - which I assume isn’t the whole story. I’m interested in what kind of base fitness she had, e.g., was she also a D1 track athlete (or something comparable?) previously?

Doubly impressive and surprising if she went from no athletic background to ultra marathons, but I doubt that’s the case.

Regardless, winning three marquee 100 mi races in a single year is bewildering.

I’ve done 100 milers and tbh had no desire to do another 100 mile race in the same year. Doing 3 at a world class level is bananas.

I have a 40% ortholinear kb because it’s more ergonomic. My fingers are never have to travel more than 2 keys away from home row. There are enough built in layers that I never feel like I’m missing a key. All keys are remappable. Beyond that I think it looks neat - folks always ask about it when they see it. When using a mouse and keyboard, my arms are kept at a reasonable distance apart (overall hands are closer together), so I can work or game longer without feeling like my shoulders or back are strained.

ChatGPT user Chase Whiteside noticed that his account history contained private conversations that were not his own. These included login credentials and details from a pharmacy employee troubleshooting an application. OpenAI investigated and believes Whiteside’s account was compromised by an external group accessing a pool of identities. This underscores the lack of security features on ChatGPT like two-factor authentication. Previous incidents have shown ChatGPT can also divulge private information if included in its training data. An interesting aspect was the candid language used by the pharmacy employee to express frustration with the poor security of the application they were troubleshooting. This highlighted the risk of including private details in conversations with AI systems.
