I feel like this would be exceptionally dangerous, like the plan would be something along the lines of 1) navigate a vessel to the site with a helipad and helicopter, while avoiding accidentally making that classic Titanic move of running a

Heck, I managed to screw up pretty much all of those things you listed and am making six figures in tech. A little ambition can get you a long way in this field.

Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I think due to risks risk now (or trying to have the biggest impact) things are being focused on those with cervical spine injuries whereas hers is in the lumbar section.

Thanks, I'll look into it. A lot of what I've seen so far is restricted to adults (for obvious reasons).

My daughter is five years old. She’s smart and adorable and can really turn on the charm. We went on vacation and she asked whole families “what’s your name” and introduced herself. Unfortunately she had the bad fortune of being born with t

Smart people are the ones who made nukes and all this tech. Definitely people worth being suspicious of for sure. Don’t kid yourself thinking that intelligence is some magical panacea that makes people moral.

I used to get burgers from a nice joint down the way during the pandemic. They added a 15% fee in , and it’s unavoidable. I called them up and said I wouldn’t be ordering from them anymore as its deceptive cost. Just raise your damned pric

Surely there’s a wholly uncensored chatGPT 5 at OpenAI running on some engineering sample H200 cluster with a Terabyte of video RAM or something.

A full year ago I heard an extremely racist AI "David Attenborough" narration where he described an encounter between an Asian man and a Black man on a city street as if he were describing aggressive animals. It 100% sounded lik

I mean he wasn’t claiming it cured him. He was just some philosophy professor who was suffering existential terror as one does at the end of life. And he said that doing cold plunges helped him, an avowed atheist, face death’s door with cou

I really hate when the top result for something on YouTube is an obviously AI narrated video. Even weirder when I realize it halfway through because it makes a mistake no human narrator would. I feel like someone cheated me out of my time.

In the documentary about Wim Hof (by Vice think), he was friends with a guy with terminal cancer who said doing the cold plunges made the cancer bearable and changed his life.

I cried tears of joy after getting out the first time I did a cold plunge. I used my bath tub in the middle of the Kansas winter. It was crazy, like I’d just climbed a mountain that I didn’t know existed.

Which means the sum of all human experience every two years is the equivalent to what some immortal entity born at the dawn of time would have ever experienced. And we can all share it and it’s so cool!

Ah now see if you’d read the manual you’d know that it’s “Cliff’s Notes” not cliff notes. Thanks for all the notes, Clifton Hillegass!

I’m running Alan Wake 2 on an RTX 3080 with a 7800X3D and the first few sections in the forest (don’t think describing forest scenes in Alan Wake 2 is a spoiler here) ran around 30fps, and then the absolutely sumptuous next few levels (man

Okay for real, who decided this game could be have the acronym CS? Counterstrike has been one of the most played games since 2000. I don’t even play Counterstrike but it has a huge player base compared to this game. And didn’t Counterstrike

It’s not unreasonable. Someone just straight up advocated for releasing a disease to sterilize all of the cattle in the world. This is an objectively crazy thing to say. This doesn’t require careful reasoning or thoughtful consideration. I’

I made sure to teach my children how animals are slaughtered for food because I didn’t want them to get some big surprise when they were older. They love steak and chicken still. We’ve gone fishing and eaten the fish. I think it’s an import

You sound literally insane. You realize that right? You sound like a genocidal megalomaniacal crazy person out of some scifi movie. You’re not Thanos, this opinion is crazy, and it’s not socially acceptable for you to espouse this opinion.

It’s not propaganda, it’s objectively delicious and the best tasting (and hugely nutritious) food for people. My kid vastly prefers steak to ground beef or chicken.

Mmm now I want a steak. A properly cooked cowboy ribeye is truly the most delicious food around, and no amount of “education” and “outreach” will convince me otherwise.

I think as men we have a deep seated need to have a strong leader we respect. If we went into the woods and made a tribe I’d for sure want Joe Rogan or Elon Musk making the decisions. Joe Rogan gives even the village idiot a fair shake to m

That’s not what it is. People are looking around, shaking their heads, with an vague feeling that things *aren’t right* and waiting for someone to be like “alright everyone we’re heading off to start a new life frontier, let’s go!”, and Joe

As a counterpoint I’m two and a half hours in and like the pacing. I’ve been drinking in the scenery and just had some really creepy stuff happen. I really like the whole “descent into madness” trope in my games though, and this definitely

I went on a quest last year to reduce latency on my desktop and code using an 8khz polling speed mouse, a pro gamer keyboard, and two 1440p 165hz monitors. I read a fascinating article here on Hacker News about it (in November 2022, I’d hav

You can buy an RTX 3080 for $400 or a 3090 for $650-700 right now. Those can both run the game fine. I got mine from some gamer kid in a beat up van at the gas station and it’s working great.
