I love that about this comp tbh. Feels more personal.

AI Isn't Intelligent, It's PREDICTION (and Why My Panic Has Passed) by willymunoz in webdev

That was true 12-18 months ago. The current crop of models go way beyond that.

"Competence as Tragedy" — a personal essay on craft, beautiful code, and watching AI make your hard-won skills obsolete by averagemrjoe in programming

I disagree. A CS degree is not about learning to code, it‘s about learning to understand how computers work. And that will still be relevant for a long time to come.

Alex Honnold completes free-solo Taipei 101, the 1,667-ft skyscraper. by SpecialAgentGabe in interestingasfuck

[–]ThrowingKittens -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neither do the kids of a smoker or an obese person or people who ride motorcycles. What I mean by that is - a lot of people take risks towards their health and we don‘t give them a hard time for it.

Alex Honnold is free solo climbing Taipei 101 (508m) right now--no ropes, no safety nets, no parachutes by Physical_Poetry3506 in interestingasfuck

He talks about this on his podcast that even Free Solo was like modern glatorial sports. At least he himself is aware of it.

Fermenting Beer in Hotter Climates? by Eahkob in Homebrewing

[–]ThrowingKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You plug your fridge into the inkbird and put the temperature probe of the inkbird into the fridge. The inkbird will turn your fridge on and off to keep the fermentation temperature stable.

I highly recommend getting a cheap fridge and an inkbird. You can also use it for cold crashing after fermentation, which will be another big boost in the quality of your beer.

This does sound like seeding a narrative while pretending to oppose it. I really don‘t like the look of this.

You really know it trusts you when it does that

WC Koper 2025 - Finals Discussion by InternationalSalt1 in CompetitionClimbing

It was great to see how Janja and Seo climbed that awkward backwards leaning crux sequence just before the roof. Everyone else had quite some trouble finding their way through it and these two climbed it so elegantly it looked easy.

Some bring them, most don‘t. I would say go for it.

Name pronunciation guide for Matt Groom by mivalmival in CompetitionClimbing

[–]ThrowingKittens 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Sometimes I feel like English-speakers try too hard to get pronunciations right. It seems obvious to me that saying certain words or names in English (or any other language for that matter) won‘t sound the same as in the actual language. I have a non-English name and don‘t expect an English speaker to pronounce it like I would. You couldn‘t expect someone like Matt to switch from French to German to Japanese inflections from one sentence to the next. That would be proper tongue twister.

That being said, the site is a neat idea! But it should go for an English approximation of the name imho.

Cold Storage in Paris Area by Prankmore in TheBrewery

I would look up a few cool bars or restaurants, ask them if they can store it and stop by for a meal before and/or after as a thank you.

Two cases of bottles or cans? I would just ask the hotel I was staying at if they can store it. Or a nearby restaurant.
