A 3d printed ball like in the OPs video would only be less than 3grams I imagine. Either way, the weight of the whip is hardly important right, as you are just doing an energy transfer from the falling weight into the small ball, the lighte

He is an excellent writer. Like one of these people who predict the near future in sci-fi. The kill decision book is particularly apt at the moment.

I think the fix is essentially a whip, that's what I meant by elasticity and flexibility. If you want to accelerate a weight quickly in a single swipe, (simplified) gradually reducing the mass along the length of the whip imparts more

Thinking this approach out, could someone correct me if I have this wrong. So he gradually increases the energy transfer from the weight to the arm over the course of the drop. But that arm swinging around must have a lot of energy loss due

I had that dimming issue in my house... And got the gas boiler serviced cause it had a problem with the ignitor, and all the dimming stopped. Now the house is ancient, so I'm guessing there was some sort of short happening that was cau

Hi Simon, nice article. The parent there may be making the same assumption I am, that large enterprise _never_ pays sticker price. Also, to just color in the picture here, as I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere, there is a very large

Your gonna get flagged and all for this comment..... But I agree. Is there a HN frontend that filters out mentions of AI, it would make a nice change... Maybe I should AI code it /just joking

Check your mouse focus settings in your desktop environment (gnome/KDE/whatever). There may be an option called mouse stealing prevention or something, but if you have a look you should hopefully see it. On xfce it's in its o

What do you mean by copied? Ireland was colonised by the English for many years, and was part of their common law system during that period. When it became independent, all laws weren't suddenly repealed, some were just ammended over t

Genuine question, when people talk about apple silicon being fast, is the comparison to windows intel laptops, or Mac intel architecture? Because, when running a Linux intel laptop, even with crowd strike and a LOT of corporate ware, there

Is there a feed of your global feed? A meta feed? If I download an opml it will just go out of date right?

I have to agree. In fairness I am biased in that I have used xubuntu (xfce Ubuntu distro) for many years, but the one "feature" is that now I find it hard to use any other OS because of "perceived latency". I see a top c

I'm not sure if this takes into account para-virtualized networks on VMs, ie. VMware vm's with "virtual" hardware access It's been a few years for me tho, so perhaps it's covered with the VM section. Lovely dia

You have hit the nail on the head there! The point in the book was that depending on your editor, you were essentially living in different realities. There was the east and west coasts, and then there was Ameristan (or something I can'

Fall, or Dodge in hell, by Neil Stephenson has a take on this. The internet is flooded with slop and rage-bait on purpose. So filled as to be unusable, like a firehose of shit. So in there comes a role if "editor" whose job it is
