I would say try open earbuds but those don’t really have ANC

If you do want to try, clip on earbuds might work. They don’t really sit in the canal, so your ear doesn’t hurt. I have the moondrop collab ones

If you like headphones then clip on ones might work for you. Those are usually wired though

Looks like this, there’s a bunch but this is the one I have. Short enough to be useful without being annoying imo

You could probably clip it to your belt, maybe a different one with a larger clip would work

His greed sickens me

Truly hate this timeline

I’ve been looking at used PCs and usually those are just missing the gpu, but now I’ve been seeing no RAM and no SSD. At least with the gpu only being missing it was semi functional if there was integrated graphics, but now you are just basically buying a brick until you can get 3 components that cost 400 or so USD

If you are prone to dropping your phone I suggest a strap. It sticks out of the port area and you can just tighten it against your wrist

Ehh there’s a lot of low effort content on youtube, but I don’t really see that much slop. Most of the low effort ones are just clips usually taken from twitch with minimal editing

Of those 500 videos, 294 were classified as AI slop, a term Kapwing defines as videos with obvious AI-generated visuals or low-quality compilations using clearly AI-generated scripts and voiceovers. The 59 per cent rate is roughly three times the proportion found on YouTube in the same study, making TikTok’s default experience dramatically worse for anyone opening the app for the first time.

I looked up the article the og source referenced, which does say what they defined as ai slop.

The original article isn’t helpful because statistics don’t mean anything if they don’t also define what they’re measuring, and they cut the definition short.

What are they classifying as ai slop? Cause in YouTube there is a lot of low effort content that aren’t slop, and there is also low effort content narrated by ai that I’d consider slop, and then there is actual ai slop

Working over ten days, they hired an excavator costing roughly £1,000 and cleared a heavily polluted 250 metre stretch of Alders Brook, a tributary of the River Roding in Barking, East London.

The main issue is that he used heavy machinery for cleanup. If it was by hand it probably wouldn’t have resulted in any legal matter

Is 2 years ridiculous? Probably. But using an excavator for cleaning is definitely not a smart move for someone who’s a lawyer

For reference an excavator is one of the construction machine with the hydraulic hand that is used to dig or grab stuff

The friday shenanigans to engineer weekend ruined pipeline at it again

When there’s a will there’s a way

Given that LLM takes the weakest security vector (the human) and tries to emulate them, there’s bound to be millions of workarounds

In 24 hours is probably not realistic

Unless you can/want to do odd jobs, door to door sales pitch (like mowing the lawn), most jobs will have a brief delay (paperwork).

Your easiest bet is credit card (no interest needed if you pay it off) or buy now pay later services (very predatory if you dont pay back in time)

You could also ask a friend/relative but that will put a lot of burden on your relationship with them even if they are willing.

If you suddenly developed it without any major accidents (like your eardrums burst from pressure) or continued harmful noises (construction is a big one). You should probably get it checked

Could be a symptom of an underlying issue and it might go away if you fix that

If you come back from that and it genuinely is tinnitus, then I recommend:

1. Keeping your mind distracted. Mostly easy if you are doing day to day stuff, hard when you’re trying to sleep
2. Play ambient noises. I like ocean waves if I have problems with mine, it helps drown out the static
3. Exercise. Doesn’t actually help reduce it, but it does help make your body ignore it IMO, and makes it easier to fall asleep.

Yea data centers also do a similar thing. They bring up the electricity price for everyone in that area, large amounts of cooling is needed which drains the local water supply. It vents out heat and noise.

There’s not many benefits to a datacenter surprisingly for the local population. It’s not going to cause a huge boom in the local economy (all the money is going to the corporation who will in fact not pay a dime back to the locals)

Tangentially related but if anyone likes sea horror, here’s one about a mining rig, specifically one that uses pontoons.

Minecraft, played since beta 1.5 (sometime like 2011 or 2012 ish). I probably have 3k or 4k hours in it

Terraria, cant calculate entirely because kid me pirated the early versions but I’d guess 2k or so between vanilla and modded

League as well unfortunately. Met some cool people from it through my 3k or so hours

The only other game above 1k is TF2

The real vibe coding is a bottle of beer and a lotta fuck it

Test driven development is moreso

1. You know what real life scenarios you’re solving for. Basically, this is the problem statement of your design.
2. You write out these tests to say your service must pass these tests in order for it to be considered working. In order to consider problem x solved, the service must do y.
3. You make the first iteration of your service to just repeat exactly what the tests want it to output (basically to create a skeleton with a bunch of magic numbers)
4. You make the second iteration. What magic numbers can you remove and actually implement for? What workaround can be fixed? Are they still passing the test? If they start failing the test, you should relook at what you wrote and debug from there (this assumes your tests are rightfully written).
5. You keep continuing with that process until you have a service that fits your test cases and without mocks

The obvious flaw is that 1 is almost never truly accurate. Scope usually changes, and assumptions made probably invalidate your test. It is a valid way of thinking though, because it helps define your expectations, and reduces the likelihood of you making something that misses the target.
