Maybe my date calculations are off, but I think the people that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 got there first. According to my calculations, if China lands people on the moon in 2030, that will be approximately 61 years later. The peo

It's sort of two books combined into one: The first one is the story of OpenAI from the beginning, with all the drama explained with quotes from inside sources. This part was informative and interesting. It includes some details about

He is a pretty interesting case. According to the book "Empire of AI" about OpenAI, he lies constantly, even about things that are too trivial to matter. So it may be part of some compulsive behavior. And when two people want diff

Obviously Microsoft felt bad when they had to kill the old Edge browser that was based on their own HTML rendering engine. Must feel like a second-rate tech company when you can't write some code to render HTML with sufficient quality.

One hilarious fact about WD-40 is that there is a bicycle chain lubricant by Muc-Off that does WORSE than original WD-40 in chain wear tests. (I know WD-40 is a bad lubricant, that's what makes this so funny)

No successful terrorist attacks on planes going to/from western countries after 9/11/2001, that's a pretty good record. Maybe we can't prove that the security theater was responsible for that, but still, the only pl

The intention/purpose of the limit on fluids was to prevent people from assembling liquid explosives inside the plane. The contents of your bladder would not help with that.

It's also hilarious that the limit is the very metric 100ml, and not some even number of freedom units like 3 or 4 fluid ounces, like Jesus, George Washington, and bald eagles would have wanted.

After playing it repeatedly since 2002, if I find out that Splinter Cell is not a 100% accurate simulation of an NSA employee's work day, I'm going to be very upset.

"For me, it meant ditching my three iPhones, one MacBook, two even bigger desktop monitors [...]" Is it so unusual for "desktop monitors" to be bigger than a MacBook that it needs to be pointed out?

Given that there are no hills to climb on an oil tanker, and the distances involved are a few hundred meters at a time (at most), a bicycle seems so much better, cheaper, simpler, doesn't need charging, easier to fix.

However, 3 wheelers quickly reach their limitations in turns, since you can't lean to balance. So making a C5 go much faster than its original top speed could be risky.

That seems like a good game to play with your children. If it teaches them to regard any dubious statement skeptically and use critical thinking to figure out how likely it is to be true, that's a valuable life skill.

The way C++ has developed over the past 20 years seems similar to someone starting with an algorithm that fails for some edge cases, and patching the behavior with a different hack for each edge case, which breaks other cases, then patching
