   there’s a sense in which IBM was right to fear the PC - it, in fact, killed their main industry, and they were not able to compete well in the new space, despite defining the standard. maybe they could have pursued it more enthusiastically

   I've seen that analysis - depending on how you model it, solar+wind+batteries is often still cheaper, plus batteries are solar are getting cheaper every year, while nuclear isn't (historically it's been getting slightly more

   I would love a cheap electric Jeep. Can they actually produce a significant number of them? and turn a profit?

   the only idea I have on how to improve the outcome here is normalizing things like Gofundme and Patreon and just in general transferring wealth from people who hit the automation jackpot to people who don't. But things are going to get

    I’m not sure what’s sideways, how is this different from what I said?

    wikipedia: “From 1796 to the 1880s, the vaccine was transmitted from one person to another through arm-to-arm vaccination.” (Variolation used real smallpox, arm-to-arm used the vaccine virus instead) https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

    the original vaccine was a live virus, and the only way to grow more of it was to infect people and then harvest it from the pox on their bodies. So many generations of this vaccine virus were passed around this way. For decades everyone be

    I don’t think it’s been leaked. I could have sworn that I’ve seen one scene with the original voice on like a DVD special feature, but I can’t find anything online

    what kind of hardware do you use to capture wind energy? It’s pretty easy to get into solar as a hobbyist but wind seems to have a higher barrier to entry (?)

    I'm glad that people make tools like this, but this is a task that I need to do so rarely that I'm likely to forget it exists, which means that I'll likely roll my own (inferior!) version as a one-time thing.

    in fact, the movie was originally recorded with Samantha Morton doing the voice of the AI, but she was replaced with Johansson last minute!

    huh, I listened to those and I feel like they're fairly similar, obviously the _Her_ scene is more emotional which distorts the comparison somewhat

    all the examples with the notch say “RH45S” - what does the S stand for?

    I think I have a use for this but I’m realizing that I don’t know how to build a mental model of what is going to parallelize in this system. Surely some algorithms are better and getting chopped up than others - how can I tell what is goin

    traditionally, every culture used seasonal/unequal hours! just, in Europe, the advantage of mechanical clocks was so great that the culture changed to fit the technology

    by jes5199 2y ago

    what, no astrolabe? astrolabes are the direct precursor to mechanical clocks, you can think of them as a slide rules with a inclinometer and a star map, and their primary application was to convert the altitude of visible stars or the sun i

    every time the two systems disagree, it's an opportunity to learn something. both kinds of models can be improved with new information, done through real-world experiments

    I’ve used both, and I’m actually more productive with the ESP8266 because it is so limited - I can usually squeeze in a minimal implementation of one or two things and that’s it. With the ESP32 there’s always other options, and it means I h

    honestly my experience is that marijuana’s lingering effects are way more noticeable than LSD’s, the cultural idea of “stronger” might be misleading
