I have been wearing Carhartt pants for few years now. I got a pair from my mother. They have been great comfortable and much more functional and durable that just about any other pants I have worn(in the past I have worn holes in pants in

I just want to get my vote in early so I can say I told you so later. This does not sound likely to me. Also, If they try to catch the booster on the next launch (November?) it will make such a mess that they will be delayed for a long long

Thank you. I have been looking a little at your github Busy_Beaver repository. I think I will stick with my on code writing for a little while (amateurish but I am learning a little bit writing it).

OK, you were not fast enough. I asked chatGPT. I think it helped but there is still a lot I do not understand. M(n) = 0^inf <A 1^n 0^inf. Is, in pseudo math/English, some Turing machine in state n is equal to An infinit

Is there a more "popular science" description of what is being said here. I would like to understand what is meant by "Collatz-like". Is it a function like: f(n) = {n/2 : for even n, 3n+1 : for odd n}

"I'll bet you that most of the people with a full-time job working on Chromium or Firefox would stop if they weren't being paid for it." I bet you are right but also think that if we did not have to pay for just about ev

I have a post above somewhere above but CO-OPS. I agree that capitalism has worked wonders but it is not the only route to success.

This might be a case where "judging by their works" comes into play. Grouping by semantics is not a good idea.

Power in numbers. I will not say forcing people to public service is a good idea but if every one were to put in 4 hours a day (or even week or month) the efforts could really add up.

Co-ops count as socialist. Much of my family have a history in agriculture where co-ops were prevalent (and mostly, sadly, gone in my community). I live in an area served by the Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) and am happy with the se

Socialism leads to nepotism, favors for friends, and socialism for the most powerful. I am saying we need "Checks and balances". Totally relying on human nature for good outcomes is, in the longer run, a loosing proposition. Sayin

As a member of the community I think we should not be thinking about Socialism and Capitalism quite like we generally do. Instead of Capitalism being a belief system maybe we could approach it more as a natural law. If you make money and ot

I think it might be. I have come to like the writing better. I hope they get it figured out they have have a lot of interesting stuff.

I think the "50x" is a little bit of a random number. If you are already writing good code it might be hard to get any great improvement. If you are a beginner without much training /experience it might not be hard to see ord

It has been a while since I spent much time with NPR but this is a nice (general) article about the presidency. It even strikes a pretty conservative tone. It is not too long take a look.

shouldn't that be "all the way up"?

I do not know what the article is about[1] but I will say that the conservatism of yesteryear (I grew up in the 1980s) was significantly different than it is today (at least widely reported mainstream conservatism). As a kid the prototypica

" The danger is not that we will someday have to go to war with computers powered by artificial intelligence. The danger is that we will become a species of artificial intelligence ourselves." This, I think, is true.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was a little strange that he did this (Trump appointee, conflict of interest, EVs). We will see what the future brings.

It is always a little refreshing to hear of a successful government project. Congratulations. I was skeptical of Louis Dejoy's appointment to the USPS but maybe it will turn out OK.

From the article: "tl;dr: making things people want and making things that alter thinking are isomorphic to each other" I like the post (and think it goes well with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41522551 )

If I am diagnosed with type II diabetes is it worth choosing metformin over other options (other considerations being the same for the different choices)?

Maybe Wikipedia can partner with Public Libraries to cultivate the wiki editors. Libraries are also looking for relevancy in the changing world. Sort of like reading programs and astronomy club meeting places. <non sequitur> Also, lib

Is this what the this post is about? I thought it was more read (txt) vs watched (video). I do really like your .txt style. I started to say you should add a link to the html version then I got to the bottom.

TFA is a bit longer than many and might take a little more time to fully digests. It does raise some good points. I want to add that one of the reasons I think it is sometimes hard to "buy things that work well" is just "wor

I have watched a couple people type with long nails and been somewhat amazed at their proficiency. This looks like a good idea. Has any one out there tried one?
