My current car won’t start unless m wearing my seat belt.

You need to get a streaming audio service - you only need one playlist. No commercials. No blather. Just the music you requested. Surfing is no longer relevant

My ex gets distracted easily. She always hated that I would ghost brake, but I can’t help it when she’s not reacting to the stopped car in front of us

And it’s not just insurance companies that need to be disrupted. There’s that whole convoluted ecosystem of profit-takers that should not even exist

Misleading headline. Article goes badly wrong in its attempt to ELI5 ……

It’s not “direction”‘that’s affected, but electron transitions to either higher or lower states …… I think. This article is horribly written if they wanted to communicate anything

Edit: the article does link to the original paper but someone else will need to translate that. It looks more like they were able to produce a formerly theoretical quantum particle (not electron) and show weird behavior. I still don’t know what “direction” means, because it’s relative to how its quantum state changes. I don’t think direction means direction in the macro sense but I don’t know what it does mean

I was misled in the posted article with hints about energy levels that reminded of electron shells. The original article makes it clear these are not electrons but talks about quantum states in a vaguely similar way (at least according to my limited understanding)

I see that was added to the conversation: so weird to have opposite terminology. I’ve always heard “tags” refer to the plates, never the registration sticker

I know it’s fashionable to hate Apple here, but switching from android to iPhone was the best decision Ive made. They just work. All of them. As a software guy, I spend my time making computers do stuff, so my phone needs to just work

Currently iPhone 15 Pro.

I replace every 2-4 years so I can give it to my kids another 2-4 years

• iPhone 13 Pro
• iPhone X
• iPhone 6+?
• iPhone 5?

My speculation is based on who hands them out.

• states I’m familiar with do not show county. Plates are handed out by a DMV/RMV, which is a state agency
• for those states that show county, are the plates handed out by a county level agency?

Cars should have both, so they can be uniquely identified both coming and going.

For example when you run over a road pedestrian by not stopping for a red light, as he sees you coming and jumps out of the way he might see your plate, whereas once you’ve run over him, cracked his hips and given him a concussion he may not be able to read your rear plate

A big chunk of the infrastructure spending for rail was to identify “corridors” to focus improvements, and start planning for them. It’s hopeful that Ohio has two such identified corridors for rail improvements l, but frustrating that it’s only to start planning. Maybe four years from now there will be a plan that can be invested in

I need this so much

You can also buy yourself fewer hardships, less need, more choices. These may not directly be happiness but you’re removing obstacles to hapiness

Anyone have any good pointers to DevOps resources or strategies? My data scientists keep stating that they need different approaches to ci/cd, but never seem to have actual requirements other than wanting to do things differently. I’d really like to offer them an easy way to get what they need while also complying with company policy and industry best practices, but it doesn’t seem to have any real differences

I’m one of those who “do nothing”, if you’re measuring by commits and lines of code.

• as an architect, I spend way too much time doing diagrams and presentation
• as a point of engineering escalation, I spend a lot of time researching things no one can figure out
• as a stickler for code quality, I like nothing more than those days where my lines of code are negative

On the other hand, if you go by the amount of code I indirectly effect with best practices, code quality, appsec, and assisting developers, I affect all of engineering (hundreds)

There’s trash cans in the bathrooms and they all have changing stations… did he just change the kid outside? Is that a thing parents do?

Yes. We’re used to no facilities or disgusting facilities and ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Of course you’d have to be an idiot to not take advantage of facilities when they’re available

Similar here with Verizon: $48/line unlimited everything, no cap. However no mmWave (they want to charge extra), and data is throttled in Canada and Mexico

Yes, OP should definitely prepare for the worst and hope it doesn’t happen.

Mental Illness is not only an invisible disability but has been scapegoated before. “Just suck it up”, “fake”, I’m sure your brother has heard those and worse. While there’s no way to predict what they’ll consider “waste”, we know they can’t make their goal without cutting a lot of necessary programs. This one does seem risky

None. The current ones with internet content, reporting, and call centers are already making things worse. Just no.

It can definitely be a useful tool though, as long as you understand its limitations. My kids school had them feed an outline to ChatGPT and correct the result. Excellent

• consultants generate lots of reports that ai can help with
• I find ai useful to summarize chat threads that are lower priority
• a buddy of mine uses it as a first draft to summarize his teams statuses
• I’m torn on code solutions. Sometimes it’s really nice but you can’t forward a link. More importantly the people who need it most are least likely to notice where it hallucinates. Boilerplate works a little better

It can even be worse - pigeonhole you and only offer what it thinks your demographic wants.

My music tastes are a bit of everything, but I listened to a bit of classic rock and now it only wants to give me that and conservative podcasts

I started watching YouTube recently but it really seems to have pigeonholed me very differently than what I’ve followed

My last microwave was like that. However my current one has low contrast labels on the button pad, so it’s too much work to find where to press. However +30 is conveniently in the bottom right corner

I do use the auto-defrost a lot, which is annoying to find, but in that case I need to press multiple buttons so I need to get extra close anyway

Interesting …. I had a similar thought process for an air fryer. When I first got it, it was true: I rationalized that I got chicken strips rather than nuggets so they were less processed. However over time I started to use it better. While I still cook frozen fries occasionally, most of the time I use it for actual chicken

Air fryer is convenient for roasted or hasselback potatoes

I also got tired of manufactured marinara, so making pasta is usually in a lemon butter garlic or pesto sauce, and I’ll cut chicken into strips, marinate, and throw in the air fryer

Looping back to the microwave, same deal. There were times when it just facilitated over-processed food but now I probably use it most for defrosting. This morning i used it to soften some apples in cinnamon and brown sugar to put in pancakes.

I’ve definitely had major changes in my approach to cooking, so hopefully I can stay on my current path
