Facts are the enemy.

I remember reading books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 as a teen thinking, "Cool story, but the US will never look like that." Oof.

With limited resources, sometimes practicality needs to win. Kudos to Bruce for putting aside his (valid) feelings on the subject and doing what is best for the team and community overall.

I can't get ticketmaster to work reliably on Firefox. I guess it thinks I'm a bot. I can use Chrome on the same computer and book tickets just fine.

One crap product forcing me to use another crap product! ;)

I don't think I realized that ICE engines had this kind of degradation. What causes this? Seals and parts loosening as they break in? Some loss of efficiency in the fuel mixing/burning process?

Using Firefox's built-in translation...

The key results: In the first approximately 30,000 kilometres, the loss of capacity is accelerated, and the so-called state of health (soH) drops relatively quickly from 100 to around 95 percent. With increasing mileage, real degradation decreases. According to the Electrive portal, Aviloo data from the 7,000 vehicles showed a (average) SoH of around 90 percent at 100,000 kilometres. According to this, the trendline is almost horizontal, between 200,000 and 300,000 kilometres, it is almost stable – and is well above the 70 to 80 percent of the battery guarantee. In fact, it is rather 87 percent.

I love this perspective! Exploration has probably never "made sense", has it?

I'm interested in learning more about your perspective that there's no science left to be done on the moon.

Do you think establishing a human base on the moon has value?

Even if just all the unsafe areas were marked, wouldn't that be valuable? At least it would focus review efforts on the parts with the most risk?

1657721. Yeah. Why do I remember this 25+ years later. I guess you did have to tell someone else the number so they could find you. Maybe that's it?

I think the video said it was a neon bulb, which reacted "fast enough".

Human's obsession with race is so weird, and now we're projecting that on AIs.

And somehow, in the US at least, we don't even have broad agreement that climate change is real, happening, and will dramatically adversely affect humans for centuries to come.

Anyone have any good resources or techniques for having honest discussions with friends and family that simply refuse to believe a problem even exists? Real solutions will only come once we admit there's a problem.

This is a really interesting idea to me, honestly. Someone would have to do some modeling, but I'm guessing that amount being emitted would be low enough to not dramatically cool the Northern Hemisphere (where most of the air traffic is) and messing up some weather patterns. The author stresses several times in TFA that sulfur emissions should be done at the equator to have an equal, global effect.

Would you be willing to share the one you ended up getting?

Maybe they are? Has this been tested?

Not sure if I'm supposed to laugh, groan, or shake my head. Nicely played, sir!

But their point is that your comment doesn't have anything to do with what the article is talking about. TVs having picture settings have nothing to do with connecting it to the network.

I don't necessarily disagree, but this article doesn't talk about any of that. It's talk about picture setting, like motion smoothing, dynamic range, local dimming, etc.

That's amazing. Truly. I'm assuming you're on iPhone. Anyone know if there is a way to do this in Android?

One reason might be the backlit display and the glossy screen. Glossy screens, especially, really strain my eyes.

I feel like's it's inevitable that these types of devices will eventually become useful enough and stylish enough to start catching on. Companies have to start somewhere.

Google Glasses were a neat toy, but pretty far ahead of the tech's capabilities. One could make a similar argument for these new glasses as well, since they have no AR component.

Except these have nothing to do with AR (sadly)...

I agree it's awesome, but I think we have WebAssembly more to thank than HTML. :-)

Unfortunately, he passed away in 2016. RIP Ian.

Thanks for this recommendation!

Yep! I saw that he mentioned it and was trying to get some more perspectives. Who am I kidding? I should just buy it. :-)

Anyone here read "Doom Guy"https://amzn.to/43DLW2U? I'd love to hear what you think of it.

I have really enjoyed Jason Schreier's recent books on game dev.

That story makes me incredibly angry, and quite sad, actually.

Genuine question here; not trying to be snarky.

How is AI "reading" code different from me reading code? Is the difference the AI's ability for perfect memory?

I can read open source code, (even GPL) and not have all future code I independently write be subject to that license. I don't think anyone would argue that I immediately "forget" any OSS code that I read, so it's becoming part of the structure of my brain (and potentially influencing future code I wrote), but unless I'm linking to the code or copying pieces out, verbatim, I'm generally in the clear. Of course there are some sticky situations clean-room, reverse engineering, but those seem like pretty narrow examples.
