   I don't understand what I'm looking at ... Does this let you build like arbitrary wire bundles and then choose your own end pieces like the ones on an ATX power supply?

   I met a cave diver recently. Dude is retired now but ran a consultancy for decades through which he and his team would go in and map previously unexplored caves (or someone had died trying). He was a chill guy but like ... he was just steel

   Anybody know what the state of kTLS is? I asked one of the Cilium devs about it a while ago'cause I'd seen Thomas Graf excitedly talking about it and he told me that kernel support in many distros was lacking so they aren't r

    Huh, the geolocation on this is surprisingly good. I did not allow the browser to use my current location and it perfectly detected the city I'm in. Most of the time IP based geolocation places me in a nearby larger city, presumably on

    Dang, this is great stuff. You may enjoy this piece that tackles similar themes but focuses on what use evolution has for consciousness. My reading of it is that the author suggests global workspace theory is a plausible reason for evolutio

    I don't think I understand what you mean. If that were the case, wouldn't teen girls have the same issue? I know it's hard to convey sincerity by text so to be clear I'm not trying to be glib, genuinely curious about you

    Ah this is an important distinction! Let me clarify, and do please let me know if this fits with the intuition you're relating here. When I say "make me feel pretty great" I mean afterwards, not during. I absolutely feel grea
