Does Radiolab even put out new content? Seems like every time I decide to plan a new episode, it’s just an old episode with a new intro.

Didn't a democracy vote in the people that are saying they want to remove some agencies? Isn't that also how the agencies came to be in the first place?

This is such a weird logical hoop that that so many people are eager to jump through.

They’ll need something like 8 or 10 tanker launches to fully refuel an orbiting starship that will then depart Earth orbit. That’s the initial use case for quick turnaround at the launch pad.

I know I’m going against general internet sentiment here, but having used a touch screen in a car (Tesla) for a couple years, going back to driving a more standard vehicle with 50+ inputs spread all over the car is not pleasant.

Yeah agreed on all of this. Most desktop apps that come after their web-based versions feel like an afterthought.

Yes thanks, that was my point, that it's not like the Mexican government had a clear moral argument to that land over the US. Both were break-away colonies expanding over native cultures.

The Tesla YouTube account has videos of Optimus folding clothes (and doing various other tasks) while operating in autonomous mode. I think their latest iteration of the hand is incredible, and a good summary of how they are going all in on

1898 was still well over a hundred years ago though.

That ended over well over an hundred years ago, and was when the country was explicitly in expansion mode. And “the Mexicans” in this context were an expansionist Spanish colonial empire too.

Visiting East Asian countries and then returning to the US, I’m always struck by how behind and slow we are with large infrastructure projects.

Is there an actual good use case for these desktop apps vs the web?

I love that book

Well you’re clearly just reading some clickbait articles and not following the actual development at all.

The Tesla Optimus robot can already fold clothes... With hands, not some purpose-designed tool. It's slow but the trajectory of improvements is clear and rapid.

Google SEO experts and companies that have spent a ton of money on that stuff must be sweating today. (I sweat every day as I contemplate my web dev self huddling in the tall shadow of AI apporaching)

Damn, every day must be bleak with a mindset like this.

Well that sounds like a good premise for a scifi book or movie.

I’ve always had the vague feeling that life is like little whirl pools in the river of energy flowing from low entropy to high entropy. Water can flow uphill if you observe only snippets of the journey.

Some irony in this post.

Yeah except for the beach that people drive on all the time.

Yeah this place feels like Reddit right now. Hivemind takes left and right.

Maybe it's something like the French saying Le Mal du Pays "Le Mal du Pays is usually translated as 'homesickness,' or 'melancholy. ' If you put a finer point on it, it's more like 'a groundless sadne

reminds me of Werner Herzog's classic rant on the stupidity of chickens.. "Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying,
