This reads like Dynamicland is no longer a thing. Their website seems to end in 2024. Anyone have any idea what Bret Victor is up to these days?

Who says you need Ford to do it? Aging Wheels tried a prototype of a small electric pickup a year ago from a team making one without the support of a huge car company. I have no do…

You didn’t like the broader consensus views towards llm usage but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t ultimately a positive to their community that you left. It sounds as though there was …

It is, on hacker news, easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism it seems. This is echoing a term made by Varoufakis about an increasing amount of money bei…

Same here, at least three nearby no longer exist and are now flats already. I guess prepare for an acceleration of the same.

Amateurs. One close to me is at an +821% increase in its tax bill and rateable value at 613%.

Good for the time but dated. When your negative is the big it doesn’t matter as much but it’s absolutely not as sharp as more modern constructions. It’s also arguably a step down t…

It uses mamiya press lenses, the focusing helicoid and shutter are in the lens.

It’s also worth seeing how many US superfund sites are on former chip fabs. Intel, AMD, Fairchild etc. all just dumped things down the drains. Regulations can be bad but they can a…

I really hope this donation means the lost chapter of ‘the power broker’ about Jane Jacobs resurfaces.

Parking 2, aka Wellbeck Street car park has since been demolished to make way for a hotel. I wish I could have saved one of the concrete forms.

Or the most money and access to lawyers to do so.

While the story is interesting one thing struck me about the writing. The author for some reason mentions the wording in some eBay auctions: ‘“This Redbox lot is a must-have additi…

It’s a shorthand for news articles intended for laypeople but it gets the point across; no natural processes yet found break down these compounds and in small but measurable quanti…

Yeah but he didn’t write it so it doesn’t matter, that’s why he has half a dozen links to his own work in a short essay. The man isn’t wrong but the relentless self promotion Docto…

Because they tell you before you get to the last station in the zone. You can get off, tap out & buy a ticket to wherever you’re going from that station.

I’ve been thinking about buying a copy of this but it seems like a pretty steep price to do in a whim. Is the third edition that much more necessary/ up-to-date than a good used co…

I would counter that it won’t see adoption in cars but will in heavy machinery. It’s a much better proposition for hauling huge loads than tonnes of batteries are (assuming you can…

In the UK I would say the latter is incorrect and would never use it in writing.

One could also use is rurally to heat greenhouses for crops that need warmer climates. Apparently there is one company using their data centre to heat (a?) swimming pool in the UK …

Could someone have used uv-c black lights thinking they looked cool and not realising about the severe health hazards?

The key word here is ‘could’. Not will, could.

It’s an analogue camera with all the complexities involved in making something that exposes and results in a physical object and with relatively low production numbers and a high r…

The I-1, the model previous to this was designed by teenage engineering. They know what they’re doing.

It’s giving a positive so likely there’s a bleach and fogging + re-development step on top of the usual ones.
