That's just smoking in public. It's an issue regardless of what's being smoked.

Not really. Regular cigarette smoke is less intense and dissipates pretty quickly outdoors. Marijuana smoke is much stronger, lingers longer, and carries farther, so it impacts everyone nearby a lot more.

It's fine to dislike the smell, but I find cigarette smoke far more unappealing. I grew up in a time where everyone seemed to smoke everywhere. Catching a waft of weed every once in awhile is much more preferable.

That wasn't the point. This isn't about personal preference or which smell someone finds more 'appealing'. The point is intensity and spread. Cannabis smoke is much stronger, lingers longer, and carries farther in open air than cigarette smoke, so it affects more people nearby regardless of anyone's taste.

Honest question, is this a fact, or a personal observation?

It is a fact.

fresh manure would likely not be up your alley, but some people find it home-like.

These people have a choice, whereas I don’t.


Do you propose that for my wife or our newborn? Why don't you smoke cannabis in it?

Uhm. I actually sorta do. With an older version of this: https://www.storz-bickel.com/en/volcanoclassic :-)

That aside, where I live my nearest neighbors are about half a mile away, and behind me is nothing but my forest as far as I can see(which isn't that much, because mountain ridges, but still ;-> ), and behind that national forest. When I descend into more densely populated areas, I'm not trailing clouds of purple haze behind me. Be it for reasons of preferred soberness while doing business, shopping, not driving under the influence, whatever.

At the same time I'm feeling undisturbed by most of the stuff, except sometimes for matters of taste. Thinking something like "Ugh! I'd never smoke that crap."

I'm sure there are places where you'd be less disturbed by stuff like that.

Maybe Park City, UT?


Yea, I should sell my house, move my kids to a different school, find another job and al that just because of some weed addict, right?

Many people do indeed do things like that. Show some flexibility.

Many people do not smoke weed.

This is not a democracy.

They showcased it at CES 2025 and it looks like here's a hands on review of it at that state - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oQ0l2ghmcc

Give Anthropic’s frontend design skill a try. I find it helps Claude produce excellent UI’s.

I did use it for this project! While the UI was good, there was a lot of last mile debugging to make charts/animations/responsiveness work well.

Interesting. Is the SpeechAnalyzer API supported on iOS?


Well, he made it to the front page so there’s that.


I hope to explore AI on edge devices and see how far it can get me.

New models like functiongemma are promising and I think we may be at a point where consistent tool calling is all we need.


Looks like your form is offline.


Their voice agent is handy. Currently trying to build around it.


I see the button to skip, but is there a way to automatically skip these sections?


SponsorBlock for desktop browsers is a way around that


I forget how bad YouTube is these days. I'm so spoiled by MPV with yt-dlp and mpv_sponsorblock_minimal. It's great.


Bad is relative. I usually don't bother with the MPV/yt-dlp combo (except for rare local downloading for backup/convenience purposes) and just let it play in the browser. Not being logged in, because I have no google account anymore. It's smooth, and plays instantly when opened in a new tab. I let it have its cookies, and don't erase them, so I get the content I like, mostly. For things I'm unsure how they'd affect the algorithm, or if they are AI-slopped music, I'm just opening them in a private window. Works for me with just uBO and some additional list subscriptons in there.


ReVanced has an integration for SponsorBlock, and SponsorBlock is also available for Firefox Android



Not yet, that I know of


This became very clear with the outrage, rather than excitement, of forcing users to upgrade to ChatGPT-5 over 4o.
