I've been following this guy for a while on X. He does live this way. This isn't a hypothetical. He lives on his writing and has plenty of free time to chop all the wood he'd ever need.

I actually did this at one point in time. The hardware you're looking for is a "laser galvo" setup. It typically takes a +/-12v range analog signal as input. I ended up building my own hardware to drive this. You can use

Been watching your development for a while on Twitter. This is a monumental achievement and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

I probably could have been clearer with my point. A park is never the highest and best use based on gain. A LVT would make it _harder_ to create things that may be valuable in ways not measured by the market.

The problem with this is that it's fundamentally incompatible with zoning. I own a chunk of acreage in farmland adjacent to my metropolitan area. The township won't allow it to be developed further due to density restrictions, I h

This is probably fantastic from a maintainability perspective, but I'm curious if some performance is left on the table by using LLVM IR instead of compiling directly to machine code. I know there are a number of optimizations that can

The author is in the UK. They noted that they were on a wait-list just to get tested and likely wouldn't be for a year at least so they decided to take it on themselves.

The advantage of single character concatenated symbols is that it allows your brain to group them rather than forcing you to read them separately. This means you almost unconsciously build up a bunch of set of instantly recognizable "c

I've tried a few times to export my data from Facebook and it's never worked for me. I request it and it just silently fails.

A lot of the benefit of therapy likely comes from the social aspect of feeling understood and seen by another _person_. This can't come from an AI as long as those treated know it's an AI.

Personally the return on the air fryer for me is a direct result of it being smaller. For most things my larger kitchen oven needs time to preheat. That's an additional step that isn't required when I just want to roast some veget

I love how quickly after ChatGPT's release we're conflating the chicken and the egg. It's not that the content online is barely better than ChatGPT. ChatGPT is what it is because it was trained on that content.

He has! One of the things he mentions in this and other videos is that not even the CPAs he hired can answer if something is legal. He's also got recordings of him calling the city repeatedly about a fine and nobody can tell him how to

Lower your population cap in the config file (I like 10-15) and don't pierce the cavern layers. This was a total gamechanger for me in terms of fun and fps :)

Didn't facebook / instagram have to testify before congress only a couple of years ago about what they were doing to fight the body image issues that their platforms were causing in underage users?

Most burglaries happen when the occupant isn't home. Unsurprisingly burglars don't like people to be there when they break in. Guns don't operate themselves so it's not crazy to think that people who have them would have

The reason guns are the number two deterrent behind dogs is because the overwhelming majority of burglaries generally, and in particular, for the purpose of theft, happen when the homeowner is gone. A gun won't operate itself, but peop

You lead such an interesting and different life than me to have been bitten by enough birds to have comparison points. How did you get here?

Farm raised turkeys are too large to fly or even reproduce independently. Wild turkeys happily fly though I'm not sure how far.

That sounds severe enough I'd consider it worthwhile to pay a lab to run spectroscopy on a range of supplements just in case, or consider hiring a lab to synthesize a batch I _know_ will meet my needs. The first option is probably a lo

Clear misunderstanding of the economics in this article. Bitcoin is a stable store of value. Every other Currency just deflated 100% simultaneously and the cost of all goods as represented by bitcoin also went up 100%!

This honestly scares me more than the new Wi-Fi standards that can sense through walls. This feels like it allows for much more ubiquitous surveillance. They might not know your precise location, but they'll always have a rough idea w

This is close but not quite how I expect they'll come to be used. I think they'll become a lot more important if companies like Meta are successful in creating virtual connected spaces based on open standards. In that scenario, wi

I don't think this is as much of a constraint as you'd expect. Imagine you manage to pull 1 psi over a 10x10" patch of box. That's 100lb of lifting force. If you're worried about whether the cardboard can handle it

When thinking of this amount of energy in kWh it seems small, but if this is deposited by lasers in a small fraction of a second it seems like a huge amount of power delivery.
