Transistors are the dominant life-form on Earth.

They realized it? Or merely claimed it? I did a quick google search that didn’t turn up anything obvious. Got a source?

For now. But they are probably including future improvements in their question about the future so I’m not sure why you think this is worth saying. I’m actually legitimately wondering if your comment is an output of ChatGPT. [Cue the Spider

The Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L082SCI?plink=uiGaVWnYtvU9VuSn&... Ever dream of being a post-human computer with a free mandate to explore the galaxy as a Von Neumann probe?

Yup. Modern often means “we re-wrote it and got 90% of the functionality but totally missed all of the thousands of edge cases the previous team worked so hard to handle in their implementation” What jumps to mind is macOS’s Disk Utilities

Yup. This is the same advice I've gotten from two coworkers. Next time I'm up for a reinstall I think I'll make the jump.

I was struggling with this annoyance recently and today decided to finally uninstall the snap. The “close now” is super annoying. I ran “sudo apt install firefox” and it installed a freaking snap! Today I learned that Ubuntu just decides to

I’ve never mentally rendered a crab’s ass but now your comment got me thinking, is it some sort of chitin-based mechanical trap door? Or maybe an iris like the star gate but with fewer petals? This is a particularly glaring gap in my intuit

My coworker does. He’s replaced the battery but it’s still the same phone. They don’t care much for camera upgrades and it works for them.

Or you could just sit and try to scrape the residual muffin off with your teeth getting little crumbs all over you and sticky crap all over your fingers like a normal person. Don’t try to play god with your edible wrapper technology. This i

You just need micro-dose so you can grok it from first principles. Here, just read my Medium blog titled “Why I choose X for Y.”

Yeah but at least your kid isn’t going to run up to you begging to join a mesothelioma or trans-vaginal mesh class action suit because they saw it on TV. Some ads are just out of phase with them. I like this idea.

Yup. Mine recently slammed on the brakes and came to a complete halt for literally no reason. (Not using autopilot) Tesla’s answer? Couldn’t replicate. Updated firmware. Resolved. Next! Do not ever trust this company. Trying to get answers

Yup. I think the alternatives at the time were things like Hotmail offering a whopping 4MB.

I believe the highest bitrate form of direct communication for humans is the hug. More than language, more than some hypothetical brain-computer interface.

Funny you say that because videos are what I can consume passively when doing other work. Glancing back and forth. I can’t read a blog passively. Now I do agree that the 10 second clips from TikTok or whatever do require full attention to “

I’d be asking for more meetings at work if this is what I could look forward to.

Sounds good to me. And while we’re at it let’s replace domestic aviation with some more rail.

Fascinating. Do you mind sharing that tool you made? I'd love to possibly use it myself.

I followed the same path. I spent so much time trying to design some elaborate system that I could own from top to bottom but eventually I found that apple notes was “good enough”. And worst case scenario I can copy and paste my notes into

How does a whale have a “deeper social relationship” than I do with my wife, son, best friend, colleagues, etc. really, I’d like to know what you mean by this in exact terms. I do agree that whales are probably smarter than we’d expect and

In the future if you get the Google Auto OS version of your car, yes that’s what you can expect. If you get the Apple CarOS version no, but it’ll sit in your garage at night burning a kWh every night thinking about your face on-device. Pick

Also watching him try to put that cup of coffee to his face was painful. You’d look like such a tool trying to press that cup against your headset. No wonder they cut that scene so quickly.

Wow, TIL. This is such a great little nugget. Thanks.

Yup. QNAP software quality (and hardware) is complete garbage. I’ve off and on tried to incorporate them into my “system” and they always let me down. You’re putting everything at risk using one of their boxes.

I found Zotero to be a nice way to organize large numbers of papers. But their mobile story was a bit lacking as of a few years ago.
