Will subway WiFi be solved in our lifetime

Is it just me or is 80% of anthropology taking very obvious statements about humanity and code-switching them to match academic language

The major innovation in megalopolis was the introduction of the airport moving walkway to the people of New Rome. Please do not go see this movie, ask me for help if you’re unsure how else to spend your time

@pwang_szn This post is kind of lame because it doesn’t show his initial message

This is cool, but I also wonder if “building real robots” is an indicator of peak AI mania. I feel like I’ve seen this before

[Remi Cadene @RemiCadene]

After 3 years @tesla and Optimus, I am thrilled to announce that I joined Hugging Face to start an ambitious open robotics project! (open as in open-source, not as in Open AI) Looking for engineers to build real robots in Paris 🇫🇷 https://t.co/cFuNL4PVI4 🤖🤗

@VeniGupta5 It’s incredible how fast it is to build 80% of Splitwise in a google sheet. 100% also not hard

@an1lam Itching mosquito bites is an essential part of being human, stop trying to put us all in your itchless metaverse!

If you drive slow due to snow on the highway, google maps will assume traffic and take you onto a local road for an even snowier adventure. Ask me how I know

[Matt Ritter @ritmatter]

@DominikTornow Oh just that an example might help show what inputs are data vs control. This seems more obvious for infra products (an IoT platform or VM checkout) than a consumer product (Netflix or Uber)

If you Google "Google Sheets calendar view", the results tell you to make a calendar directly on the grid, which makes it impossible to work with the data...

[Matt Ritter @ritmatter]

After struggling to view a Google Sheet as a calendar, I did it in @airtable in about 5 minutes. A great way to visualize a workout schedule. Pretty impressed with the import flow and the result

Trying to understand how a company could expect "customer obsession" from employees who don't have a meaningful stake in the biz. Like how can you be generally obsessed with customers, isn't it just a proxy for making money?

Met a boulderer who was consistently "breaking the beta" by making outrageous dynos. He told me this was common because he has a +3 ape index. Hadn't seen such a visceral demo before. Us normal climbers keep truckin 🫡

@housecor All of this separates a “functional” test from an “integration” test. A unit test is even stricter: it must test only one logical component of the systemic. This is typically a single codepath in a single file, ideally a public method on a class

TIL buying ski boots is more nuanced than buying a car. There is even an entire position called “boot fitter”, which has no auto analog
