    I spent a few days in Bombay Beach, a small town right on the Salton Sea. There's a community of people that call this place home, most seem to be artists, outcasts or just people drawn to the ability to purchase an entire house for $20,000.

    The air is clearly toxic, you smell it the second you get there. To live there means living in olfactory mental ignorance in exchange for affordable housing and community.

    Pay off for who? After learning about "The Gospel" [0], does anyone else wonder if spending on AI is actually just an arms race?

    You just need a second fan - an exact duplicate of the first, located in the exact same space, but exactly the opposite. This will cancel it out.

    What happens when AI gets trained on AI slop?

    If there's code to stop AI from being trained on AI, I would like to have it from stopping me from seeing it.

    I'm sure this is just an isolated incident and we won't see anything like this happening in the future.

    Is there any counter measure for this?

    Hardcore hearing protection?

    Noise cancelling headphones?

    Handheld sound insulation "shield"?

    I'm in the process of planning a 6-8 day bike tour and wanting to keep it on gravel roads as much as possible. I've done about 150 days of bike touring in the past on paved roads, and I'm done rolling the dice with my life now that apps are so addictive that drivers can't help scrolling while operating a moving vehicle.

    Gravelmaps has been a huge help, so has google maps using street view to check for gravel or if necessary the width of the shoulder. Even on side roads that haven't been streetview'd you can still check it at intersections to see.

    The planning is VERY time consuming though, lots of permutations of routes to get between 2 points when the goal is to stay off paved surfaces each with various tradeoffs. It would be VERY cool if gravelmap let you input a start and end point and gave you a best route suggestion. Or even if google let you select gravel only.

    I bought my sawstop shortly after my partner started working in the medical field, where they'd see saw related injuries or amputations come in weekly.

    Saw was expensive, yeah.. but they hold their value on the second hand market, if you ever even see them for sale.

    I had a cabinet maker over last week, after he noticed my sawstop he showed me his 2 partially missing fingers.

    The company also isn't playing games, the saw is beautiful and a lifetime purchase.

    They were probably expecting these to fail a few months after the warranty expired.

    This article on hackernews reads the same as "Advancing Theorem Proving in LLMs through Large-Scale Synthetic Data" would on conkernews.

    if it requires swapping out "all the RF hardware", why not keep the 2M repeater at this high level site and add your new repeater adjacent to it?

    There's a river that runs through the e-waste garbage dump, straight into the ocean less than 1 Mile away.
