Promoting good habits is good but this is health advice from an unlicensed commenter to say rice and beans is better than taking a statin. Consult your doctor if you’re curious wha…

You should consider finding a career coach, professional therapist. This level of pessimism can't be healthy.

Every day I am shocked that books in the public domain on Kindle don't have X-Ray enabled. I am unable to find a copy of War and Peace for instance with X-Ray so I can keep track o…

I saw the ToC request as a demo of the capabilities, not a statement on the full value proposition. There are a LOT of valuable features in here that are not offered in Kindle or o…

That is _really_ big. It will likely crack the top 8 ever recorded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes

Aaaaaand it’s gone from YouTube.

Most factory chisels are not laminations like hand made Japanese ones are. They are just a single alloy.

Selection of metal, lamination, presence of a ura (裏), handle material, the ability to make a new handle and attach it to the original metal. A metal chosen for an extreme sharpnes…

You are directionally correct but the top of the line chisels are in fact hand made in Japan and I suspect the same for knives. Lee Valley and some other higher end manufacturers m…

Without a doubt speculators will flood this comment either way.

If you don't see the contradiction in JPL having an active research project to put a radio telescope on the moon and your original statement then I guess we'll have to agree to dis…

You didn't read the article, it _specifically_ mentions JPL's proposal for the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope concept "nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (J.P.L.) is also exploring the…

Thank you again, I'm not able to determine if any of this is contrived but it's turned into a great teaching opportunity. I am highly impressed with Rust. The compile error looks e…

Thank you for that explanation. In the original blog post an example is shared of reusing a buffer, and I was curious how Rust would handle that scenario. Perplexity suggested the …

Is it possible for the rust compiler to statically determine if two memory regions will overlap at compile-time, especially with complex pointer arithmetic or when pointers are pas…

I predict it will be difficult for people to reason about this without their biases around COVID, one way or another. Personally EEE sounds terrifying.

How do you identify posts written by grok and what is the chance you’re completely wrong?

The author and the reviewer universally want "good code" but how often is that defined for any project? Clear definitions of what is important to your team and your code base would…

If life is a river and your heart is a boat And just like a water baby, baby born to float And if life is a wild wind that blows way on high Then your heart is Amelia dying to fly …

First comment on the linked article mentions an assumed exponential increase in consumption so the whole thing is moot.

That’s been built and operating for a while off the regular old grid. The customer for this power seems to be California for residential power.

Hardware is always a leading winner in tech super cycles followed by larger wins by software. NVIDIA was always going to lead market gains with AI before software catches up. It’s …

The race to the bottom for pricing continues.
