The Kroger by my house as these (or ones that look very similar). I generally avoid that store for many reasons, but I’m tempted to go there just to try this out. This is a few years old now; I wonder if they changed the tones.

If Defcon talks about hotel security have taught me anything, it will never be changed until the store is bulldozed to build a bigger store.

I often described my wife's old Honda Civic, which we finally sold (still running and able to be driven) w/ just north of 340,000 miles, as having been to the moon and on its way back. I like the idea that someday Honda hardware could, in fact, send something to the moon.

0.711 of the way to the moon and back. It has been to the moon though.

it's just a four step synthesis. with the help of a phd chemist you could probably learn the steps in three months, and if you put your mind to it you could learn the ochem in a year. this project is the culmination of at least a year-maybe even up to three-of work.

whats surprising is that parents let their kids do ochem at 17!! thats some toxic shit :). safety is why chemistry is not a super popular field at high school level science fairs.

C'mon, who doesn't like their kids dusted with methylmercury?

Site seems to be down - I can’t get the article to load - but by far the most maddening part of Vertex AI is the way it deals with multimodal inputs. You can’t just attach an image to your request. You have to use their file manager to upload the file, then make sure it gets deleted once you’re done.

That would all still be OK-ish except that their JS library only accepts a local path, which it then attempts to read using the Node `fs` API. Serverless? Better figure out how to shim `fs`!

It would be trivial to accept standard JS buffers. But it’s not clear that anyone at Google cares enough about this crappy API to fix it.

If you spent 40 years of your life on this path, you would still be visiting 5.616 bars per day. Nuts.

Unlike classical grape wines, the fruit ones are quite "wet". And sweet alcohol for reasons unknown causes the worst of the hangovers.

It's for the same reason you feel dead after eating a pound of sugar, and compounded with extra dehydration. Take it from a former professional alcoholic, drink your water and take your B vitamins.

Privacy is not a concern in space I guess. Absolutely horrific, I love it.
