I'm surprised Google hasn't forgotten about Google fiber.

I couldn't find it in the article, maybe I missed it, but does anybody have more information on the printer / material used besides just quartz?
Maybe i'm missing it, but I think this would be much more useful if it showed what the optimal way to navigate per-target was.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.
RIP Carl.
Just saw this episode yesterday! How unfortunate and unexpected his passing is.

Dunno man, not hearing my neighbors conversations is quite pleasant. Being able to set my daughter down on a blanket in the grass under a tree while we bbq and make dinner is worth more than aesthetic flourish, although the garden is a constant source of pleasure from March when the crocuses bloom to October when the Dahlia’s finally succumb to the frost.
For real, having shared walls is such a detriment to mental health having to hear conversations, music, tv, people taking stairs, it's never quiet. Having your own private yard to have bbqs, play with dogs, etc also sounds amazing.
I'm on the unfortunate side of having panic disorder. Some exercise, like weightlifting can trigger panic attacks due to the sudden spike in adrenaline. Steady-state cardio is usually fine.

There's no shortage of people debunking that charlatan.

Why do you think Peter Attia is a charlatan? Out of all these longevity & health influencers he seems most realistic & knowledgeable.

Anybody vitamin D deficient even after supplementation? I had mine checked September of last year, it was low even when taking 2000 IU a day, so DR gave me a 50,000 IU pill to take once a week. It's still considered deficient, but not as deficient. I live in Seattle, so not much sun has been out the past 6 months, not sure if that's skewing numbers lower than they are in the summer.
ddlutz commented on Ask HN: Has anyone made the transition from app development to ML/AI work? · Posted by u/sourcelabs
I am in the process of making this transition now.
I joined Grab.com on their Safety team and started working on their face recognition technologies. This got my feet wet in ML. Now I am leading their content moderation efforts.
TL;DR: Find an "ML adjacent" engineering role and take on ML/AI work.
"ML adjacent" roles could be, content moderation, safety, ads, and search.
When did you join and how is it going? I had an offer from them ~4 years ago and this was one of the teams that I was in talks with.
I can handle basic editing in vim and I have given real tries to use it as my main text editor but I just cannot find a way to get as comfortable in vim as I can in VS Code.
I don't really "get" using vim as an editor, but I love using vim bindings in vs-code. I've been using vim bindings for maybe a year now? Didn't really keep track of when I started. I definitely consider myself a novice, and maybe am using vim to 10% of it's potential, but the little bit I do use is nice.
On the other hand, I've never considered typing speed or editing speed the bottleneck in programming, it's usually debugging, solving problems, or reading files with 10k+ LOC and multi-hundred line files figuring out what they are doing.
