I think this is cool and all, especially watching all of the launches, but I don't understand why we aren't all talking about the growing potential of a Kessler Syndrome and are in…

Yeah screw the timer. I can't work under pressure like that when it comes to word games. Maybe other people will enjoy that, but not me.

Apparently the LED is on the order of 500 nm. Isn’t that essentially the same size as the actual wavelengths? (Just skimmed the article maybe this is discussed)

> Yes, I know I'm crazy, but Any time I see this phrase I know these are my people.

> ChatGPT is saying they will mark ads as ads and keep answers "independent," but that is not measurable. So we'll see. Yeah I remember when Google used to be like this. Then today…

Nice! I've been using Claude Code and ChatGPT for something similar. My inspiration is Adler's concept of The Great Conversation and Adler's Propædia. I've been able to jump betwee…

They are identical in the same way that my Hacker News and Facebook are identical. They are both places where people post stuff and comment on stuff but the community in each is ve…

This reminds me of my professor's (probably very poor) description of NP-complete problems where the computer would provide an answer that may or may not be correct and you just ha…

That’s just a standard chemical rocket for the initial push and then a few gravity assists right? Couldn’t an ion engine with a nuclear reactor providing the electricity accelerate…

Recipe articles with hundreds of words of irrelevant text before the actual recipe.

Way more interesting than this old zombie company is that new podcast about cpu design. Cool!

I also got in trouble for playing Leisure Suit Larry in 6th grade computer class.

Ours had PS-2s on a token ring network with a TUI to get to the word processor etc but it also had a “drop down to DOS” option that the teachers didn’t know about.

Reminds me of the drip.com TSR program that I put on some of the school computers circa 1990.

I wonder how different each of the wikipedias are between languages. There's barely any info about the dismantling of the Clémenceau in the English wikipedia. I occasionally read t…

I’m from the states but I was 23 and it was the first wedding I’d ever been to. And I guess wedding costs for guests wasn’t a topic anyone around me ever brought up.

When I was 23 years old, just out of college, just moved across the country my friend from high school got married. We never talked over the phone or email just hung out when we we…
