Personally not at all interested in these new features - an F-91W that needs a smartphone to operate properly is madness to me - but I do appreciate the way they implemented them, with a focus on longevity and simplicity.


I don't think Gene Hackman was suggesting it was a Calvinist joint


no one uses ai for writing at tc. you're gonna end up chicken-littling yourself


funny to see you here rather than mefi jessamyn. thanks for everything!


"known" by whom, and documented where? if you're going to just parachute in and say this paper by domain experts is dead wrong, at least link to what you believe shows this to be the case.


accounts from ICE are not trustworthy or factual.


If you're at all interested in this stuff, Atmospheric Optics is a fantastic resource that illustrates and explains these phenomena with both depth and accessibility. Note that the menu on the left hides lots of layers.

Super old school, love that it's still online.

Oh, how wonderful. I've been meaning to pick this up but was worried about the accuracy and completeness of the old edition (not that I'd be able to tell, really). So this is great to hear:

> This new edition – the publication of which shortly and sadly pre-dated Ginzburg’s death on 17 June this year – is therefore invaluable, both as an engaging history in its own right and as a ‘classic’ of microhistory. The new translation by Stephen Twilley is excellent, correcting numerous small mistakes and infelicities in the 1980 English edition. It also includes the author’s previously untranslated afterword and a new postscript, which together provide insightful and moving reflections on how Ginzburg’s experiences as a Jew in the 1940s shaped his commitment to studying individuals in all their complexity rather than as merely part of the anonymous masses.

Ordering one right now. If you're curious about this, look also into Ginzburg's "The Night Battles," which is another rabbit hole entirely (and one I hope gets a new edition too).

look up the actual origin and purpose of the turing test, you may be surprised


yeah, this is good advice unless you really want to get deep into it. the people doing the colors on these know what they're doing. that said it can be fascinating to look at the process and try it yourself so go for it. I bet it's well documented.
