Utah has a bit of a thing for "received knowledge", as the predominate culture tends to prime egos for prophetic wisdom. Add elitist competition with your local peers to the mix and you won't have to look far to find some...creative titles.
Kind of fun to think that the crystalline structure of minerals is an "echo" of their arrangement of atoms. A repeating pattern on a scale we can actually observe.
I'm fairly certain that Nest cameras do not allow streaming over your local network.
You can still use the cameras even without a subscription, i.e. watch the live stream or get notifications. This means that yes, they are absolutely uploading data to the cloud and storing it for some undetermined window. Paying for a subscription seems to just give you access to that history.
I hate to be the one to say it, but...this is why we can't have nice things.
At a certain scale, social media tilts humanity in one direction. We can't seem to escape the trajectory of our very nature; it will outcompete any complex system we devise to outwit it.
I’ve been wanting to implement a more “overzealous” approach to cleanup orphaned pods from analytical workflows (Prefect) that hang on to expensive compute resources, sometimes it feels frustratingly out of control. It’s really difficult to get good signal from the noise on if it’s actually orphaned (due to the things you’ve mentioned); killing a workload that isn’t actually orphaned can be very costly due to re-runs. Commenting out of solidarity here, but also curious to see others chime in their approach.
I’ve recently developed a serious allergy to this phrasing:
> “This was not just X; it’s really Y”
Here are some real examples taken from various sources:
> "Regenerative businesses don't just minimise harm; they actively create positive change for the environment and people."
> "This milestone isn’t just about our growth. It’s about deepening our commitment to you…"
> "This wasn’t just a market rally. It was a real-time lesson in how quickly sentiment can fracture and recover when fundamentals remain intact."
Hard to say for certain that this is AI slop, but just like em dashes, I see it routinely pop up in LLM prose. And I feel like it’s infected nearly everything I’ve read that was written within the last year.
