A thoughtful memorium. I too greatly value my phd supervisor's inflence.

Already using it. very nice.

it's 404 - nginx :-)

It's just as I suspected - there are NO coincidences.

I don't think Elon has any malice towards his own species. I tend to agree with the first comment on the article, re: p(dystopia), where almost all LLM services are currently in pl…

gold :-)

admin bob, patch me through to milnet or i'll show the entire world your intimate donkey videos (runs to the ground floor and uses a fire axe on the main breaker panel) now we have…

It would be fantastic to add two simple features: 1) task groups (for example, a project) and 2) drag-and-drop reordering of tasks. Then it would be the only task manager one would…

I suspect, in a few decades, when the smoke clears and the very latest sub-infrared, stadium-sized space telescope finds fully formed galaxies several billion years "before" the al…

The opening sentence of this article is 100% wrong. Hubble was a good scientist and correctly made no assumptions regarding his observations that objects that are further away by p…

Tired light forever!!!

Why use C in 2024?

...if you believe in an early, non-eternal universe. Tired Light will be vindicated! Repent!

I've done low-level work in C++ with SCATS, about a decade ago. It was a challenging API to work with, not fully documented and a lot of strange timing "phenomena".

Shotwell is also awesome, that is certain. They all are. I personally think the first man down the ladder on mars should be a woman, and it would be great if it were her. However, …

I was thinking this as well... It spiraled seemingly forever without failing, while they hoovered telemetry off of it, until pressing the big red button. Massive fault tolerance at…

yay

The only real nightmare is that a couple of Jesuits, the same guys who imprisoned Galileo for daring to suggest that the Earth revolves around the sun, came up with the Big Bang th…

Hah that's great. I can see straight away that I'm going to become a devoted, tunnel vision tired light enthusiast. In fact, i'm tired already. i could use a nap.

Hey thanks for that snarfy. I love this topic.

Also, the infinty that i think scares people the most is temporal, not spatial.

This is a reasonable, and i don't accuse all of Science. I am just very suspicious of the certainty with which astrophysics has pursued proof of a big bang for most of a century. T…

I've never heard it mentioned, but I strongly suspect that cosmological redshift is simply the result of photons losing energy over vast distances due to some as-of-yet-undiscovere…

These guys seem to be channeling early Skinny Puppy. The vocal intonation and mix in particular are hauntingly similar. It's good stuff.
