I had an M1 pro with the touchbar thing that I bought used for <$1000 after I had to give my work one back when I changed jobs. It was the best upgrade I ever made. I cracked the screen and bought a M4 air on black friday for $750 or something which I'm using now.

My P1P at my work is having wifi issues. I'm considering just getting a Core 1, mostly because it has an ethernet port.

Neat, I was expecting more about how the semiconductor part is made. I toured the Lumileds/Phillips fab that closed in San Jose but you can't really see much.

Marking whiskers, as mentioned, seem like a good solution if you can keep them attached. They are designed to be easily visible on the ground.

As long as they really stay attached and don't come apart, otherwise you're now creating plastic debris.

Not sure, maybe people like the underdog or just like the business model, you pay for what you get. I flew them a couple times and it wasn't great.

I think the previous post was just referring to remote doctors purely interpreting imaging. Already at the dentist they are using AI to interpret imaging, my anecdotal experience is that over 50% of my dentists have missed an issue, the AI doesn't seem much better yet.

Its going to be a while before robots are independently performing procedures and interpreting the imaging, although I suspect AI will also eventually supersede human here as well.

I sent this to our electrochemist at work, maybe if we have some time we can test the coffee in the breakroom.

The title says "quality" but the summary seems to say it only measures the "strength" oand "darkness of roast". Certainly won't measure how good it tastes. Given these are the two properties purportedly measured, I imagine you'd get the same results regardless of tastiness and age of the coffee or beans.

Right, but another way of putting it, it might provide useful signal if you hold "age of the coffee or beans" and other such factors constant :).

Their lab has been playing with this for a while: https://sca.coffee/sca-news/25/issue-18/amped-up-using-elect...

Americium is also chemically different and may not be as practical as cesium and rubidium to ionize and trap.

I strongly recommend the Dawson City airport because they don't have security. The whole experience is much more pleasant.

All of New Zealand does this internally. You only need to go through security for international flights. You can show up 5 minutes before the flight.
