I eat raw lemon "flesh", but have only eaten the peel, pith, and a couple pips cooked (and I didn't like it).

it took me way too long to pick up on the "joke" of OSCAR
This rock almost looked surprised that I was coming back! Thankfully, I was able to collect another sample here to replace the one I discarded earlier. This may be one of the oldest rocks I sample, so it could help us understand the history of this place. #SamplingMars
I'm trying out #antennapod. so far, it's pretty clunky for my typical usage pattern: paste in an RSS feed URL and play episodes from a point I choose in chronological order. I can at least get there though, which is more than I can say for #VLC.
Use the *median*, not the average, to aggregate individual preferences in one-dimensional domains ⚖️
E.g. "what temperature should we heat the room to?" 🥶🌡️🥵 "how much money should we budget for the project?" 📈 💰 📉
-> incentive for everyone to answer truthfully
-> extreme responses don't skew result (manipulation resistance)
-> theoretically and intuitively evident that most-prefered option ('Condorcet winner') selected

very cool interview. I think that quote, "Nothing is more important than what you are doing right now," will stay with me. I don't have an ops and planning team behind everything I do, but I often find myself working on subordinate, sometimes fairly boring, tasks in service to a larger goal. keeping the attitude suggested by that quote really helps to bolster my spirits for such things

as a sometime ML student, I have a casual interest in practical data munging techniques. AI Coffee Break is great for getting me a basic understanding of fairly complicated concepts and tools without a lot of upfront work learning lower-level stuff. For the most part, I understand the concepts at the level they're discussed using not much more than my undergrad-level knowledge.
I had noticed this phenomenon a while ago and was recently thinking about it as my heater wasn't coming on as frequently in the late afternoon/early evening, but I hadn't actually seen it described quantitatively.
