Best Flip Flops

OK, hold the comment that the best flip flops are the Dollar store kind, if you really want a comfortable set then I've tried lots of different styles and I think Outdoor Gear Labs has it right.

Olukai really does have an amazing collection of nice flip-flops. I tried the Olukai Hokua and they are really comfortable. As they say, there are a bit heavy, but the molded components are really nice. Just be aware that the straps are so long-lasting that you will want to break them in a bit (says the guy who went on a 2-mile walk with brand new ones in Hawaii, that was painful 🙂 They were $75 on Amazon but I needed to use some Zappos credits, so that's a great place to get them.

As an aside, OluKai is a private company based in Irvine so you are not buying from some massive conglomerate 🙂

Tips, tricks and traps on technology, mobile, software, machine learning and shopping since 1996

A conversation with Devindra on the possibilities of ChatGPT and other Large Language Models for education in India and other Middle and Low-Income Countries. While these large language models today mainly work in the cloud and require high-speed internet connectivity, the promise is that smaller models that are more specialized have already been ported to MacBook Pro M1 and other laptops. And with advances like 4-bit quantization, there is the possibility they can even run on modern smartphones.The experience in China and in India is that parents will save inordinately to give their children a better life than theirs. Both Devindra and I are the beneficiaries of that thinking and we are forever grateful to our parents for their sacrifice. So, this means that there is a possibility that there could be a commercial incentive which is much better than constantly asking for charitable dollars.The new LLMs promise interactivity and individualized instruction that was impossible before. Early demonstrations of learning a foreign language are promising as is the student being able to ask the ”why” of how Python is structured, not just the ”get it done” without understanding that online education often creates.Finally, having an eye toward inclusivity for everyone of any gender, race or social status is something that needs to be baked in. We look forward to helping!
