I use Firefox and uBlock Origin but still pay for premium because I want to support the channels I watch but don't want to watch their ads.

I want to nitpick you here but a thermos is specifically good at insulating because not only does it have a vacuum gap, it's also got two layers of metal (inner and outer) to absorb and reflect thermal radiation. That specific aspect i

Trying to make a point out of whether he did or didn't found Tesla kind if defeats the rest of your post. He paid over 90% of the first funding round and brought in key people like JB Straubel. When the company was basically an incorpo

It's interesting as the space fans (who often dismiss AI) say this is a project to get SpaceX's space/Starlink profits for AI. But the AI people seem to think this is to get AI money for space projects.

We seem to be using 100% of our DRAM manufacturing for AI. So it's not completely out of the question.

We have radiators on the ISS. Even if you kept the terrible performance of those ancient radiator designs (regularly exposed to sunlight, simplistic ammonia coolant, low temperature) you could just make them bigger and radiate the needed en

It's always better to generate electricity on the ground than attempt to beam it to the ground from space. The efficiency loss of beamed power is huge.

I'm not sure what you're quoting but that is fan fiction of some sort divorced from reality.

I've said for a while that ICE needs to go after businesses that hire illegal immigrants. So if you're looking for some kind of conflict in what I'm saying that isn't it. That's why I said that ICE isn't doing

I'll tell you the same thing I told the other person: I love immigrants lol. I just want immigrants that integrate and come into the country without breaking the law.

I'd agree with most of what you said, but there is no "raising a Gestapo". ICE has existed for 25 years. And the laws that give it permission to act haven't changed. It has gradually grown over the decades but what it fu

There's one of these articles it feels like every month. And as usual, Betteridge's Law of Headlines is at play here. There's no replacing the US dollar until a better option comes along. You need a currency that's open

RIP to Scott Adams, I'm much younger than most here talking about his work (I didn't enter the work force until the 2010s) but I still found Dilbert interesting. I saw him most as a victim of cancel culture with people attacking h

I'm not sure which Constitution you read but apparently it was a different one than the one I read. Congress was not set up to be more powerful than the other branches. The president can veto laws that Congress tries to pass and the Su

Whenever people start talking about things called "the rise of fascism in the US" as if its a foregone fact rather than a highly fringe opinion, it's unfortunately rather easy to assume that the person doesn't have a goo

If the API cannot be made safe then it must be marked unsafe.

Ultimately all software has to touch hardware somewhere. There is no way to verify that the hardware always does what it is supposed to be because reality is not a computer. At the bottom of every dependency tree in any Rust code there alwa

This made me quite curious, is there a list somewhere of what bad APIs have been removed/improved and/or technical debt that's been addressed? Or if not a list, some notable examples?
