If you were watching that channel, you'd know that he takes great pride in doing the work himself. In his latest series, he's building a garage/workshop for his son almost entirely by himself, just to show what can be done.

I asked ChatGPT to give me the name of a Victorian novel I'd lost track of. I gave it a plot summary of the first third of the book. ChatGPT said it was unable to come up with an answer, because it was not connected to the internet.

Kurzweil's "Singularity" is upon us, but he's now being cagey about it. He says it's still years away. His interview with Lex Fridman[0] was pretty tame - I didn't learn much new from it. Kurzweil deflected th

This is not true. The ARRL is constantly fighting for the benefit of radio amateurs, and has been doing so for a century. The FCC recently considered an over-reach, naming removing the limits on signalling rate, which would be a technicall

But, we are talking about vaccination protecting other people. What we see is the hospitals are full of vaccinated people, who are also contagious. You're right, if you want to protect yourself against risk of severe outcome, that

If you can blow visible smoke through the mask, then it’s ineffective against SARS2. In either direction. If you remove an N95 in a smokey environment, you’ll immediately smell the smoke, while you didn’t before you removed it. Exception: i
