  • Any use for a rooftop patio?

    Jump

  • It's generally just for my sole access, but it occasionally gets visited by building maintenance people and other tenants who decide to go exploring

  • Exactly. As i said its a pain to get to, and i have nice outdoor places to hang right outside my building, so can't be used the way OP described

  • Researchers Put Google Gemini in Charge of an Entire Coffee Shop, and It's Inexorably Driving It Out of Business

    Jump

  • I don't know if that's true, especially in comparison to ai. I think a competent random human would do research before taking charge of a coffee shop and be in reasonably good shape from day one. For sure some mistakes would be made, but i think generally the operation would run ok.

    But all of that misses the key difference - a human doing this wouldn't be a random person, they would usually have relevant past experience, like previously being an assistant manager at a coffee shop. So they would manage the shop way better than this ai did.

    Maybe if they create an ai that has been specially designed to manage a business then it might perform as well or better than a human, possibly. But just throwing a standard ai in the role is gonna work much less well than a human.

  • Today I learned that Ritalin (Methylphenidate) was named after the inventor’s wife Marguerite “Rita” Panizzon, because it improved her tennis game (article in German).

    Jump

  • I can't find any other sources for that and i have no idea how reliable that German source is. Can anyone verify?

    EDIT

    I found a couple of other sources that say the same thing. I don't recognize any of them, but enough are saying it that it's believable. (For a claim of more importance i would need stronger sources, but for a fun fact it's good enough)

  • Yeah i would guess so, but it makes no sense because it's all in capitals but it's not an initialism.

  • What plants can take care of themselves and are eco friendly in nyc?

    Jump

  • Good suggestions, thanks!

    A trough or elevated bed or ongoing maintenance isn't possible in the kind of quick hit unofficial guerilla action that i can do.

    The thing that got me thinking it is that I've seen years-abandoned pots on nyc rooftops that have wild plants that grew themselves there. So the conditions (whatever they are) can easily support unattended plant life, so the question is which ones will work there that are good for pollinators or the environment?

    Jump

  • Zillions of wild plants grow extremely well in unattended planter pots in nyc. They're all over the place.

    And there's no such thing as "weeds". A weed just means a plant that grew itself in a spot where a person didn't want it to be. A weed is just a plant.

    When people set out empty planters of soil they always wind up growing lush with random plants. The question isn't what plants can grow by themselves there, because that does itself. -

    My question is what plants can i plant there that would be especially good for the environment?

  • That's not true. There's tons of plants that grow gangbusters in unattended street planters, and heck even cracks in the sidewalk
