Impressive achievement, looked to me like the vehicle started rotating before the flip was due. I wonder what the tolerance is on the number of engines that can be out? It seemed like nobody was overly concerned that several weren't fi

I don't have anything constructive to add except, well done! Total commitment to the bit, investment far in excess of anything reasonable, great execution, full of whimsy, and it's grounded in ancient tech. Hilarious and also deep

Definitely agree. It's been more like two years for me now. I get spam in my inbox, and similar emails from the same senders in my spam box too. The spam filter is definitely working, but it's leaking badly. In my inbox now, obvio

So that's an interesting point It's the first example of (seemingly) non-deterministic software with the capability of accessing an API that I can think of. Really it feels like a different class of thing than the toy examples els

Strongly disagree this should be flagged; it's constructive and thought-provoking. Can't find a vouch button though. As far as I understand it, these LLMs aren't actually doing anything in between user interactions, right? Pa

I just flagged this by accident. I was able to hit "un hide" from my profile page but I apologize if that's damaged the submission's chances.

I've started doing that too. Makes it quite a bit less useful though.

"Probably" is more than one bit, not less, no? It conveys both uncertainty and an opinion on the answer. "Is this tree deciduous?" "Yes" - one bit "Is this tree evergreen?" "Probably" - one

Gah, I'm glad I don't live in your head. I have never heard that definition of "hobbyist" before. I don't see how it's even remotely related to what I wrote. But whatever. Get some rest, maybe tomorrow will be

Assuming you've made a good-faith effort to find the owners of the records, congrats on the haul! Takes a bit of the sting of the theft out I hope. Some advice for you is to sell off those records you know you don't like and use t

Totally agree. Call it "Funnel". Which is gross and puerile on one level but not, like, violent.

I laughed when I read this but then I thought more and... wouldn't that be fun? Like, if it's their hobby and they're good at it, why would the date be bad? Gardeners like their plants to grow big and healthy. Fishkeepers obs

Smaller market (hopefully), but then it'd serve as CRM for serial cannibals.

Half a bit... yeah. I read a good description of a bit (I think in The Information by James Gleick) as "a yes or no answer to a single unambiguous question. I'm misremembering the quote but that's close enough. So half a bit

Agggrrrr so much hate for these devices. I bought a Mini for my oldest kid and now, when I pick up my phone in my downstairs office, hold it near my mouth, and say "hey Siri set an alarm at 7am", the phone briefly shows the Siri v

What if you could avoid the travel? Perhaps some chance alignment of distant black holes creating something like a gravitational mirror? Bend the light, bend it some more, bend it so it reaches earth today. A 65 million light year round tri

Well they do some of that: reconnaissance both electronic and visual, coastal bombardment (and air strikes) with cruise missiles, and they can land very small groups of special forces too. Not to the extent surface ships can but if suddenly

This is a very useful and fun recreation of a Eurorack modular synthesizer, with an enormous library of modules to choose from. The interface is slick, the sound is great, and the free version does everything you need short of being a plug-

The thesis isn't particularly clear but what I think they want is a modification to Canadian building code so that structures up to a certain size don't need a second egress. They want that, I think, because that aspect of code ma

Yeah I thought briefly that SD cards could become the new cassettes but they just won't. None of them have computers. Phones, iPads, Chromebooks yes. Everything streams. There's no physical download and share option. Actually... a

Her is a Jensen CR-100, it has a 3.5mm "mic" input so I guess it's expecting a low-level mono signal. Probably not what you want but for kids' ears it's likely ok. It was for sure cheap. We've only used the bui

Cheap walkmen are available readily, most of which can record off 3.5mm. Better experience would come with a used full-size deck off eBay to make the recordings themselves, then you play back on the walkman. I'm in the same boat. I&#x2
