I use KATWARN because the local refinary, usually downwind of where I live, is required to announce if there is an incident (within 48 hours, probably).
My tabs are a convenientish curated list. It is wasteful and I hate it. At worst (best?) I've taken to sending a tab to another device as a way of dismissing it for later.
I hope someone jumps on the language model hype and makes an extension that summarizes what I have read, seen, and done on the web. Perhaps with a choice screenshot or two.
I don't need a tree of pages, a spreadsheet, or a pie chart of time wasted on hn. I spent my time here on purpose, show me or tell me why. Remind me of the topics so I can close the tab and come back to it easily when needed.
I think it's weird because the example they used of the birthday is trying too hard to be family-friendly and social.
The HoloLens had some great examples of highlighting where to hit a mechanism to make it work. I have no idea if it was any good in reality.
That doesn't work for Apple, at least not for advertising.
I think it would have been neat to have shown a sports person/dancer/musician looking through the eyes of their instructor to correct their posture, etc. Or at least show them reviewing the recording together.
You would surely agree that gun pulling isn't considered normal everyday police technique, every single use of a firearm in Australia for police purposes is reviewed afterward. Far too many deaths in custody for sure, but.
The risk is real and reasonable if one is willing to rationalise it as a hobby / learning / playing with hardware and a trivial amount of soldering.
In my case I wanted to play with sensors and the pico w. A pi with a sprinkling of c#, Nats, and influxdb connects, controls Ikea stuff, and reports all the things.
Micropython on the pico is not my favourite part of the process but it might have been faster for me than just writing in c.
"How a coastline 100 million years ago influences modern election results in Alabama"
With some maps of Cretaceous sediments, fertile Black Belt Prairie soil, farm size 1997, slave population 1860, black population 2010, and Election Results.
A little bit about the soils from a different link:
"The Black Belt is the only region in Alabama with extensive regions of alkaline soils (soil pH> 7.0). Early settlers discovered these clayey soils held more nutrients and were generally more productive than the sandier Coastal Plain soils. For this reason, many of the large, antebellum cotton plantations were located in the Black Belt region of Alabama and Mississippi. Black Belt soil color is dark because of the humus, or decomposed organic matter, that often coats the clay particles. However, severe erosion due to intensive farming practices removed much of the dark, rich topsoil."
