So there was this German scientist that went about decoding how bees communicate where pollen sources are. I believe he won a noble prize for it. He had to individually hand paint bees. I can't remember the details and I'm too laz

The homeless and others are also doing "mime stalking" which is as stupid as it sounds. They'll monitor what I'm doing online and then follow me around acting intentionally stupid with body language and clothing until I

Anyway every time it happens from now on I'll make a post on hacker news and that way I'll be able to narrow down the cause and timing. The homeless are awful. I should write that everyone in San Francisco is awful given the enor

Oh and the black guy that was in hackers was ton tin in the crow. So what he "learned" was essentially bird flu. And milk makes you sick because birds don't drink milk. Did I mention there are swarms of crowd flying all over

Also the crow. Yes the stupid movie. Stalking with idiots quoting the movie or acting out parts of it. Neat. You're assholes. I already knew that and now I can't enjoy this movie. Gee whiz you're so fucking sophisticated. Wha

I'd be interested to know if code visualization were more useful for certain languages than others, specifically functional languages like elixir that specifically target data immutability.

Chills and weakness. I've had a hard time shitting and I think there's something wrong with my stomach.

As with any highly used language you end up running into what I call the COBOL problem. It will work for the vast majority of cases except where there's a system that forces an update and all of a sudden a traffic control system doesn&

Yours is the sort of project where if I had a boatload of money I'd just find it no strings attached through your project forecast. This would be such an excellent tool for artists with light pen integration.

Serious question out of curiosity. Has anyone solved the lifting gas volatility problem (is the lighter the gas the more volatile)? That's the main deal breaker with all zeppelin proposals.

Consider a cargo airship operated remotely. The propulsion would be based on solar powered fans. Even if it took weeks to cross the ocean it would need essentially no cost to operate (or incredibly little) compared to operating a ship. If o

What is the minimum set of grammar for which all other grammar in a language can be constructed? So if Turkish has a gossip tense then we know we can construct that tense from English right? I'm thinking in terms of conlangs but not ju

At what point do the economics and the scaling laws make AI no longer economically feasible? Like "in order to justify our capitalization we need to consume all the power in the universe territory"?

It would seem the next logical step would be to come up with a series of examples where the conjecture fails and then extrapolate from there what new rules you come up with. And then possibly attempt to draw an isomorphism from another fiel

I may be missing something. If theres edges u1 to v1 and symmetrical graph u2 to v2 then any post has to be between u1 to u2 for any u. Which means traversing a post would essentially be adding an edge to the graph (no matter the probabilit

What's the smallest commercially available electronic and can it be inserted into the brain? Why am I having headaches?
