Whoever came up with that deserves credit. Entirely lovely and harmless “superstition” as far as I can tell. No one is hoping for rain so they won’t be disappointed, but everyone has that line (“lucky it’s raining on your wedding day“ or whatever) ready just in case.
I wonder if there are other white lie kinda pro-social quips like that

“Don’t we have any other way to motivate our workers?”
Ahaha!!
cool tool
Yeah we spent a ton of energy on that analysis but am necessarily so curious about the state of the art (I’mma tech person) and this was a suitable test case. UC Berkeley/others’s got a project
with SotA available free (but all data hoovered for research)
My other big test was right when it came out after reporting about scary good image analysis, on something where I had a legitimate question. tl;dr take pic of scene IRL, remove EXIF, hop on VPN, and upload to ^ & see if its response/analysis feels creepy or reverse image search is just as good or what
PS: adding missed disclaimer to previous comment

Wim Hof breathing is so good from time to time
Have never given him money and think he ventures into pseudoscience but this beginner video is safe (no BS, just breathing)

Awesome. No (minimal at least) big adware tech for you!

Mm & also how about respecting the electronics and (maybe a little bit obsessive-compulsively) wrapping the entire cord up and zipping it into a case… every single time
(Skill or rather personal policy issue, ya, that one might be on me)
But don’t even have to put my head against the phone for a quick call when a single earbud is right in my pocket ready to be slipped out and stuck back in, blind ‘n’ fast

Almost always Bluetooth for me.
Might plug into the car to get higher quality audio. Will use a cable with a mic at home, but even then I might use AirPods for listening and only use the cable to speak into.
It stands to reason there can’t be that many audiophiles who could tell the difference between Bluetooth and aux while listening to their little Spotify playlists, but oh boy-
So many more people can tell when you’re speaking over spanking-new $200 AirPods versus the old dinky pair of stock EarPods from the bottom of the junk drawer. Cable reins supreme, no competition. (and with the best dictation software, simply whispering into the hardwired mic is sufficient for ~95(+)% accuracy)

Yes indeed, Apple’s had acceptable latency (e.g. for YouTube) since no later than 2017.
I’ve only thought about it when specifically wondering how they pulled it off (and I assumed the phone did something slightly fancy to add a delay on the visual side)
Glad you’ve never paid their tax in any case!

Some older dogs - well, at least one good boi I met by a stunning lake - will run and run and run to the point they can barely walk the following days. Dog sooo wanted to fetch this stick so owner has to ask:
Please don’t throw that stick. […]
Can take his youth… not his drive!
