Anecdotally, back in college the rooms had CO2 monitors on the walls and I started to notice that professors who closed the doors and let the reader climb as high as 2400ppm were m…

Looks like the personal site is getting overloaded. Archive link here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260629115602/https://haghiri75...

It is much more difficult than that. Starlink is essentially IT infrastructure, which certainly produces heat but nothing on the level of pure compute. Ejecting heat in space is a …

Also got the newsletter. Don't recall if I did or didn't sign up for it initially.

I recently bought a hybrid, and had been trying to wrap my brain around how it had an Atkinson engine in it. Was imagining a solenoid-driven crankshaft linkage or similar. Loved le…

And the second title encompasses the first. Better public transport -> less congestion for those stuck driving.

That was a lot of fun to explore. If OP is the author, thanks for making this.

> Do you think being alive is necessarily, rather than merely historically, required for consciousness? Ah, I suppose I don't. My comment was poorly worded. However I feel confiden…

It's interesting to see the Turing test flipped and pointed back at ourselves. Can the computer trick you into believing it is alive all while you know it's a computer? Re: Re: Ex …

Love OBS and Blender. Recently started using Kdenlive and it is awesome. Big fan of OpenSCAD[1] and solvespace[2] for making functional 3D prints. I'm going to branch out a bit her…

This is kind of stunning to read when Ford was bailing out of the EV market just a few months ago. https://www.wardsauto.com/news/ford-scraps-ev-plans-focusing...

In my experience Copilot is such garbage. But I've only used it in the context of being forced to for my job, where it only ever answers prompts by telling me steps to go do myself…

It's literally a scam in the same tune of "full self driving next year." Launch costs, unrepairable once in-orbit, more expensive hardware to withstand space and radiation, the eng…

At a previous job I had a hiccup onboarding to Atlassian. The startup founder sent initial invite to college email address, and then when we got our own domain and corporate email …

Well said. I felt a knot in my stomach while watching the livestream coverage and hearing "They're doing so much science!" and I wanted to reach into the monitor and ask "Tell me! …

It's encouraging to see healthy conversation taking place around the open web's future, and the response to "Endgame to the open web." Also glad to have discovered Julien Genestoux…

I've been using TT-RSS for about a decade now. Love it. Sad to see the original owner burn out on it, but glad that it is still being maintained by a community fork. https://tt-rss…

Fits the current trend of "cloud services dropping their 9's" but still quite surprising to see.
