This is very obviously an incredibly bad idea. Americans: you need to get legislation in place to stop this. It will backfire spectularly (well, before there's actual AGI and that's a whole other topic). Random shit will happen an

I'm highly invested in Erdogan losing this election since I live in Sweden and this basically decides if we get to join the NATO and its nuclear umbrella or not. (Erdogan's opposition has made it clear that they want us in - aweso

I honestly prefer IKEA's lightweight honeycomb techique. They're crap at surface impacts (putting a sheet of plywood on top is a great idea) but really good at rigidity. If only they were available in decent depth dimensions, like

I didn't think about the heat. Yeah, a DSLR with a decent lens is quite heavy. And expensive, so it needs to be protected. It's a tricky problem to do on the cheap. I don't think I'm prepared to spend $3K, my idea was ra

24 inches (60 cm) is not deep enough, IMO. It's incredibly irritating that IKEA stopped selling reasonably priced 75+ cm deep bench tops (except for in a few markets, like Germany, maybe IKEA thinks they still use CRTs there?). Also: I

Does anyone know of any (perhaps open source) hardware that's suitable to aim a DSLR-sized camera in a suitable direction with a reasonable kind of precision? I guess medium power (around 10-20W?) BLDC motors combined with hall effect

Just launched in the Google I/O keynote. Seems like most of the waitlist signups are US only. Mullvad VPN worked for me.

I got another stroke of luck, I found a third party printer driver on an old SUNET archive for the Siemens Highprint 7400. Remarkably, it had some ancient Codeview debugging data left in it. I quite like the anti-deletionists at the Acade

3 hours have passed. I also did a healthly amount of googling various permutations of what they said and didn't find anything relevant so until anything new is revealed I guess we should consider this fiction.

Pretty much the entire cast was great, but the standouts were, IMO: TJ Miller (Erlich) Martin Starr (Gilfoyle) Zach Woods (Jared) Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh) (in roughly this order) [Honorary mention: Henry Phillips (John, the datacenter guy)]
