Many of you might know of Noisebridge, a beloved hackerspace in San Francisco. They had (have?) a juggling workshop every saturday called "Juggling with Judy", taught by Judy Pinelli, founder of the famed Pickle Family Circus (and

We have to evolve ways -- or bring back ways -- of making our agriculture less petroleum dependent. But short of a shock of this nature, we are not going to do any research in that direction because of trillions of dollars of investments

Oracle and OpenAI centers getting hit, oil shortages forcing the world the move away from fossil fuels ... my cynical ass feels hope.

You are right to some extent. But there are huge differences between all the wars the US has fought and is currently involved in, and a China-Taiwan war. Taiwan is only a couple of miles from mainland China at its closest point. It is poss

Sure, they will find out it is a good military. No doubt about that. What the US has found out repeatedly but fails to acknowledge is that the opposition proves to be a match. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Somalia have shown just how deep reserves

Socialism, you mean, not communism. This is a way of spending taxes on the public, the kind Denmark does. It isn't "no private property; everything belongs to the govt". Also, if we are redistributing taxes to fund endless wa

Wouldn't it be simpler to implement a 'spend-forward scheme' rather than returning? For example, spend that money on research grants and health care. It is returning the money to the people. A man can dream, no?

One process is made the logical goto for all operations on that data. The process identity is logically the identity of the shared state. In other words, it is exactly a database, albeit an in-memory one.

Is this a deflection? I'd be asking this question of any admin. I cannot stand what Obama and Biden let Merrick Garland get away with.

Perhaps because the performance is good enough and this approach is much simpler and portable than shared libraries across platforms.

Equally? Sigh. All the people who huffed about Kamala and Trump being sides of the same coin have brought us to this stage. You think Kamala's admin would be anywhere as venal, corrupt, blatantly unlawful as this?

It seems the admin would rather you focus on DoW or DOW. Any mention of Epstein is getting downvoted.

Why is no one calling it the Epstein War?

What has an impact is cancelling a subscription and then talking about it. The media will amplify it the pushback. The goal is to make the name OpenAI and ChatGPT toxic, that whatever you do will be converted into a technology that will sur

"Wag The Dog" movie all over again. Sure looks like deflection from the Epstein Files and economy.

I'm curious about what you mean by "telling". What is the tell that you perceive? I would like to understand whether I misrepresented myself. I agree with you, that none of it is easy. It is precisely why I used to doodle, to

I'm finding that in this build fast and break things culture, it is hard to revisit a project that is more than 3 years old. I have a couple of android projects that are four years old. I have the architecture documented, my notes (to
