Looks interesting. Just bought a tiny 3D printer and had to by my first spools of filament after running out of the sample spool that cam with the printer. I do not think I will go this way (I am not printing much) but it is nice to see thi

It is about bedtime for me but I am going to read the wikipedi article. I took a glance and am suddenly curious about the "Droste Effect" in medical art. It did not originate with the chocolate maker but was named after them. It i

Always a little amazed at the broad range of topics that are studied in such detail. The article refers to Dr Jose Norambuena-Contreras.Here is a link with some of his publications. https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/j.nor

I had hoped it was about arcade video game from the 70s (early 80s) that was my favorite game. It was a tank game and my parents would get so mad. You spent twenty dollars playing a video game???". I will have to look for it now.

Wow, the site is really well done. I wonder if that is really what things looked like. Things have changed.

I don't think Trump is trying to funnel money to Musk. I think it is more like he wants to say "Look at what I did. So, much better than any one else." Musk just happens to be near by and and lots of people talk about going t

The web.archive.org version only has 14 items. Is the "Infinitely Scroll Mathematics" more infinite? I am going to keep an eye on this it looks like something I would like to see (regardless of the infinitely part0.

More about logarithms. I would like to know and understand formal proofs and logic. I should have practiced much more.

Do you have a computer? What does it not do that you need? I am not an expert of any sort but I have seen lots of people (and myself) buy equipment (computers, tools, bicycles, etc) and not use but a fraction of the capabilities or have to

It is unclear to me if they are (or have) going to try to culture any of the samples. Are all the test going to be DNA tests? I would like to see some pictures of microbes that live in outer space. Also, I can imagine that there are microbe

Would grapheneos ( https://grapheneos.org/ ) help with this? I am using a pixel 4a as a "house phone" so it is plugged in all the time but I wonder if I should upgrade.

I could put a spoiler here but I won't. It is a short article and might be more or less right.

I agree for the most part. If I thought the cut money was going to go to something "good" (maybe education?). I suspect it is just to make room in the budgets to write checks for people / companies that do not need the money.

Had a Vick-20 as a kid but it did not do anything and I had no idea how to make it do anything or really any idea of what I wanted it to do. As much as I wanted to know more about computers there was no one in my (small rural) community in

I was kind of hoping to read that investors were the AI. No, instead it is people investing in an AI company. The AI company's founders allegedly committed fraud to bilk investors. Ho hum, I hope justice is done but pretty dull.

I juggle and sort of know the feeling, except I need to learn two or three more "hard" tricks to qualify as good. I have gone to clubs (the places not the prop) and feel very toddlerish. I feel about the same way with math and pro

Clearly time travel. He had brought the article back in time so he could read it as it happened. By the way, I thought the post was written well. It did take a little thinking but it was an interesting take.

FABRIC[1] is a fine name for a software project but... I wish project names were a little more aligned with what it does and a little less common words and names. [1] FABRIC is an open source AI project to augment humans. The github link ha

Sometimes I would agree but... It is nice to wake up and know whether it is worth spending the time to watch or not (in the case of a scrub). Launches in the middle of the day can take up lots of time that I would be doing something else. I

How did he get the exposure to work out. I thought pictures of stars and the Earth would never work out like this. Pretty amazing photo. Would be something to see.
