Because the modern GOP is itself a con. Its great that he is protesting flock cameras but he should also be protesting his own party, which is engaged in unprecedented corruption, murders american civilians, attacks democracy, and seeks to

Remember Jevon's Paradox: most of us instinctively look to improving efficiency. But when you do that, people just use more of the thing. Rewriting Python in Rust often won't mean less electricity used, it means your code will get

Small fusion reactors don't really solve any of the key challenges. You need reaction mass to accelerate, you run out of reaction mass way too quickly even with a magical energy source on board to throw it out the back of the ship real

Short term thinking isn't why we are suffering. We are suffering because there are no promising avenues to pursue. If you think of one, bring it up.

I had this realization in high school. At the time I did not appreciate how impossible it is to accelerate at 1G for that long. Absent some entirely new physics becoming available. All signs point to it not being possible, so not even likel

laser propelled solar sails are the only plausible solution at the moment and it is not a given that even that is possible. Lots of engineering challenges there that may not have solutions. other ideas: 1. be way more patient 2. anti matte

In the medium term wouldn't it likely not matter? Schedules will adjust to whatever permanent time system is adopted.

wouldn't the attack vector be like this: I find a github repo, I want to contribute to it. I clone it, open up cursor, make an edit, commit, and boom, I am infected.

It doesn't matter. Whether you have a ping of 40 or a ping of 300, 3ms is 3ms and will mean you win a little less often. The saying we have in bike racing marginal gains is "leave no stone unturned, but turn over the big ones firs

In my mid forties now reading without good reading glasses is absolutely awful, I could see some people struggling with enjoyment of reading if they weren't aware their eyesight is an issue. Something to check if you are getting older

The article is strange, as it starts with "we used to think it was just that smart kids read well, but this new study etc etc" But the details of the new study seem to support exactly that original idea. Perhaps a little more deta

I don't think space compute is going to work out, but I would certainly say "yes happy to buy space compute from you in the future if you offer it at a good price" If it happens it happens, if not, it doesn't.

Understanding battery degredation takes a lot of nuance. If you do nothing but charge and discharge quickly at some given temperature, you degrade to 90% in 1,000 cycles. But the battery also degrades over time, the hotter it is the more, t

and likely other un predictable knock on effects would reduce the benefit, like going vegan would mean more food is available overall, and population might rise in response.

type providers, units of measure, active patterns, complete type inference. Not sure I would want the last thing in C#, I think having boundaries at the function signature for that.

The purchasing experience when you buy direct from companies now is usually much easier than it was years ago. A lot of people instinctively turn to Amazon because its one click and stuff is on its way, but with the new payment integrations

>And so we should expect AI to look the same - Maybe! Or it might never pan out, or it may pan out way better. Complicated things like this rarely turn out the way people expect, no matter how smart.

Is 90% of his brain actually missing or is the volume reduced by 90%? I.E. are the mass and connections still mostly there but just squished by extra fluid? From what I can tell googling about this, it seems it is mostly just squished, so v

I have a bad disc, and while its still bad, a couple weeks of freestyle swimming workouts makes it not hurt for a year or two and lets me mountain bike comfortably again. Something to try if the usual stuff doesn't work, as it tends n
