I'm reading this book right now, and it doesn't make me enthused for the future. But I'm all over the place, I never know what level of doom-thinking to accept for climate change.

Out of curiosity, do you have to use another device for TOTP 2F?

I've crashed a Lime/Bird at least 3 times, none of them related to cars or other people in any way. 1. Taking a pedestrian bridge off-ramp in the rain at max velocity because I wan…

It's not possible that they might just enjoy loud machines? And you might not enjoy loud machines?

I'm not sure how anyone could walk 5+ miles a shift @350lbs and not injure themself, unless they were that big from training for Strongman or the like. Humans are not meant to have…

What's wrong with: anything a user can do on your app in the interface must also be doable via API call by that user. You don't have to map everything so the platform interactions …

This argument seems moot. I am not under the impression that it's difficult to go buy heroin or meth if you want some. Users seem to have no problem getting it.

I think about this often too. There are a ton of articles out there about it. It seems like it would require a pretty colossal amount of mass to get lifted into orbit, and then mai…

I'm building a sauna in my parents backyard. I've framed and sided a couple houses, but always with someone who knew what they were doing. Building even a small insulated shed (whi…

It amuses me now many asterisks are on this page. "Some big claim"* *Only with x package and x accessories Seems like more statements have asterisks next to them then don't.

Why would you use a browser to visualize 1m nodes?

I understand that, I was a step ahead of myself in my mind. My question is better phrased as: why write legislation at all if you think the Supreme Court would very likely strike i…

Good point, we aren't generally allowed to own RPGs and attack helicopters, so it's not maximalist. However, RPGs and helicopters were not around at the time of the passing of the …

How does Congress expect to pass legislation like this when there is a 6-3 conservative judge majority who will almost certainly defend maximalist interpretations of the 2nd amendm…

I wonder if you could start small on something like this. Build a proof of concept, a search engine for programmers that indexes only programming sites/material. See if you can tec…

This is spot-on for some of us here. I told my friend last week that I'd like to come work construction with him and will be quitting my decently-paying programming job to go do so…

I've wanted something like this for a long time, and had resigned myself to using the algolia search, sorting by votes, and looking at the previous week. This is awesome. Thank you…

I don't think anywhere in this post talks about whether or not Mattheij has looked at those events, read those books, thought those thoughts, and what his opinions are on them as r…

Which product specifically do you use, if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to try it myself to see if it helps me as well.

from Gwern, @ https://www.gwern.net/newsletter/2020/05 : "This year, GPT-3 is scary because it’s a magnificently obsolete architecture from early 2018, which is small & shallow com…

The e-ink display part triggers thoughts of an Amazon of the future that uses entirely reusable boxes to ship things to consumers. Hard plastic containers w/ e-ink labels. Boom, no…

Buy Carhartt. They make their clothing to last. Heavier materials, better stitching. You'll be lucky to wear one out in 3 years.

I personally have never had an issue with it. There are many buttons but they are all very discoverable with a bit of hovering. I vastly prefer it to "modern minimalist" interfaces…

I did read the article, though I think I may now see your point: this technology has greatly enabled abusers, perhaps more than it has helped finders-and-punishers-of-abusers. Your…

The sources in that article who lead these anti-child-trafficking/image organizations complain about cripplingly inadequate budgets and lack of human resources (employees). They do…
