   What is the advantage of the screw press? From an outsider's perspective, it _sounds_ slower?

   I was fortunate enough to be chosen to talk to astronauts on the ISS from the ground and ask them a question, and as far as I can tell from searching this awesome resource, I think my question was unique. I asked Ann McClain and David Saint

   I think they _could_ but I doubt our current activation functions are sufficiently nuanced to allow consciousness that we would recognize.

   It reportedly has a $2B ARR, and a 5x multiplier doesn't seem insane to me, but who knows, honestly

   THEORETICALLY the government has _some_ restrictions against monitoring US citizens ( https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/soci... ), and it sounds like none of those are deemed to apply if you&

   Yes, Elon's trajectory has been absolutely unbelievable since 2019 or so. Talk about a guy who cratered his whole reputation. It's a shame.

   Difference in cost per launch, cost per mass, or payload capacity?

   > it’s not quite correct to suggest there’s a vibrant external market for their product There is a very large demand for launch services. SpaceX balances launching customers and launching Starlink. It's not like they give every laun

    I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I think the signals that we use to determine whether we're doing the right things are different with the new AI enhanced toolsets. Refactoring decent sized components are an order of magnit

    Honestly, they're probably subsidizing Elon already via Tesla, but the super disturbing part here is what the author nails when he says the tail is wagging the dog. Indices should reflect market investment, they shouldn't drive it

    If you are a financial brokerage and you want to offer the S&P 100 or the NASDAQ 100, you can't just do that. You have to license that - https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/custom-indices/solutions&#x2F

    A push on delivery dates is as likely to mean production issues as it is an influx of interest.

    I got to visit the exhibit when it was in Boston's MFA in 2014 or so, and it was really awe-inspiring. They had wood blocks from period prints and it's just amazing what artistry was able to come from that. I got a print of Red Fu

    There's probably a term of art for it, but that Family Guy style cut to some previous reference hadn't really been done before, certainly not to the extent that Seth McFarlane did it. Simpsons copied it, but it never felt good whe

    I signed up for Claude two weeks ago after spending a lot of time using Cline in VSCode backed by GPT-5.x. Claude is an immensely better experience. So much so that I ran it out of tokens for the week in 3 days. I opted to upgrade my seat t

    I am eternally grateful to media people who care a lot about this stuff. I know that it has an impact on my life that I’m not aware of, but I can’t bring myself to dive into this. I am glad that there are people who are into it, though.

    At what point do we start to re-evaluate and re-test old assumptions about how much weight/caloric restriction impacts things? It seems unlikely that a molecule that slots into receptors in the pancreas also does something(?) to card

    The buffer exists to be used. Allowing people to merge into it makes the lane that they came from safer. Build a new buffer.

    I played GTA after I played Carmageddon and I thought the graphics on GTA were kind of retro at the time, but in reflection, it does have some charm, I think.

    The software can drive the web browser if you install the plugin. My knowledge is 1.5 weeks old, so it might be able to drive the whole UI now, I don't know.

    My sweet spot of choice between power and price is the ESP32 S3 (2x core @ 240mhz) at ~$6 per board, but yeah, the power to dollar ratio is crazy these days, across the board. And they are absolutely tiny and sip power if you write the code

    The contagious nature of yawning is so weird. It has to be evolutionarily advantageous because it's so wide spread, but it's also non-obvious.
