Could you share your skill? I've been working on a web app that I've been wanting to do a much more comprehensive accessibility audit on.

Orbital data centers aren't really a question of physics, but a question about economics. To answer the physics/engineering question - no, there's nothing really "stopping" us from…

To be honest, the examples stuck with me. They illustrated tons of different social interaction examples that I have seldom, if never, encountered in my life, but have plenty to le…

Thanks for sharing, I had no idea. Looks like I'll have to go look for the original for a reread.

It's important to recognize that there are no optimal "right" answers. If someone is telling you there is a best way of doing this, always treat their advice with suspicion. (Yes, …

You wanna know why this article is great? I can't quote it. There isn't a single, gold nugget line in this post that can be copy pasted into any possible form of short form content…

It's usually not a question of laziness, but just path optimization. For big raid events, limited only to a few hours, Pokemon Go players will do whatever gets them to the most rai…

Have you ever measured your battery voltages over time storing it this way? Is that 6% capacity loss theoretical or measured data? I'm intrigued. This sounds crazy, but it should t…

Degradation is driven by many things, but a big one is heat. Elevated temperatures during both charge and discharge is very bad for battery longevity. To manage this, almost all EV…

Yes, and that's the point. In my opinion, this is the perfect use case for generative AI, one that takes advantage of the strengths of the technology while avoiding its weaknesses.…

This was a really fantastic talk and kept me riveted for 40 minutes. Where can I find more?

I bristled at the title, article contents, and their spreadsheet example, but this does actually touch on a real paint point that I have had - how do you enable power users to lear…

Writing is an expression of an individual, while code is a tool used to solve a problem or achieve a purpose. The more examples of different types of problems being solved in simil…

I'll give it a shot. Text, images, art, and music are all methods of expressing our internal ideas to other human beings. Our thoughts are the source, and these methods are how the…

Hmm, I suppose the analogy could be interpreted as dismissive, which is not my intent. I think both vibe coding and 3D printing are wonderful things. Lowering the barrier to entry …

3D printing is to mechanical engineering what vibe coding is to computer science. With the rise of accessible 3D printers that can print engineering materials, there are a lot of p…

I second the Uni Jetstream 4&1 Metal. It is my daily driver for highlighting (color) and annotations (pencil), and the Jetstream inks are very smooth. For loose leaf paper that tak…

Why do you use 2H leads? I can't imagine writing in something so light, even HB lead is too light for me.

What do you want to make? A quick primer. There are two forms of 3D modeling - parametric solid body modeling, used in engineering CAD programs like Solidworks, and mesh modeling, …

Direct comparisons of the shortcomings of conventional therapy in direct comparison to LLM therapy: - The patient/therapist "matching" process. This takes MONTHS, if not YEARS. For…

"These scrolls were scanned at Diamond Light Source, a particle accelerator near Oxford, England. The facility produces a parallel beam of X-rays at high flux, allowing for fast, a…

Tesla cars have been suffering from an odd "funk" odor issue for a few years now, even after an OTA update was pushed to try to dry out the cabin air filters after the car is parke…

Both sides of this have pretty good counterexamples. There's an experimental way to encode data on crystals (using lasers, I recall?) that last a very very long time. The more feas…
