This is about the Kryptos cypher, it should be in the submission's title, cause people here know what it is mostly.

I can see how this can be silly/fun for teens or young adults, but I'd never put this in the hands of my kids. LLMs are wild

I guess I'm fortunate enough to find shorts unbearable. I occasionally watch some from creators I like, but tbh I find a great majority of them really annoying. The vertical frame, the silly endings after 30s of crap. God. It's so

so all the UIs I work on have some form of pivotable grids handling some decent quantity of data (several 100k rows) Obviously in react I can find components that work fine. But is that something datastar can deal with well, or is this some

The whole thing is just weird. This man is clearly delusional, and knowing that he uses his fortune to sway things one way or another based on his twisted perception of the world is scary.

It should be considered all right, but the committee is also going to look at the whole person and Trump isn't exactly the Gandhi-like figure you'd expect to win the prize. I think Trump genuinely doesn't like people being ki

Put one of these things on the streets of France, and I don't give it one hour before it gets beaten to pieces. I mean, I so want to trash it myself, and I am the non-violent type.

It sounds like you have your mind set on videos (which to me is a grind rather than a hobby). Personally, I would: make video games, 3d models, generative art, board games, short animated films, that kind of stuff. You'll probably neve

There are a lot of episodes though, so that is still quite a feat.

This looks cool, but won't these get stuck in ditches, or small craters? Also, Mars's atmosphere is supposedly quite thinner isn't it? So it would require more wind than on Earth to push these things, no?

"This one seems ready-made for a television medical drama" Yep! In fact there was an episode of House MD where the patient had ingested a toothpick and had all sort of symptoms like these.

I definitely have the same problem (I just sent a work email, and have to go back to a task that's a bit difficult, so I'm just giving advice that I don't follow to a total stranger instead). One thing I noticed about the &qu

Well Newton made a huge contribution for sure, but to be able to state his theory he clearly had to use a bunch of math, not all of which came from reknowned mathematicians. And Einstein didn’t pull out special relativity out of his brain a

the guy who coined the term Ortega Analysis is a sociologist. This is the branch of humanities that studies behaviors in a scientific setting.

People in humanities still haven’t understood that pretty mich everything in their fields is never all black or all white. It’s a bizarre debate when it’s glaringly obvious that small contributions matter and big contributions matter as wel

The corollary to that is that keeping a shitty legacy codebase will keep you employed longer, since AI won't find its way through it, and screw everything up every time it touches anything. This is making me like the written-by-math-gr

I have a feeling that these feelings come from culture. Protestantism or Japanese cultures really value effort in a way mediterannean culture (for instance) does not. Think about Flemish paintings that have all these very intricate details,
