i think balloon framing fell out of favor because

1. the length of timber required for two story structures is not efficient; old growth stuff has been felled and straight, seasoned, 24 and 36 foot lengths of wood are tough to find

2. and fire; platform framing has far better fire control

Ha, this is the bane of design. You don't need any particular expertise, you just have to like or dislike something. Product managers, you know who you are.

Thank you, but there’s hardly any point in arguing with a rock. You might be making great points, but at the end of the day, observers see a man talking to a rock. The rock may roll at some point, through forces beyond yourself

Yeah, that is a really bad take. Remind me again why women drop out of engineering teams. To frame this triggering statement, imagine if he had somehow used breasts to make the same analogy. He’d be in a heap of trouble, prob LIFO’d out of his job

Yes, _based on all current observations_ … which have missing areas where `G` fits nicely. Believe me, I get it. Facts, science, then imagination.

Did you read the article, however? What she's mulling over is the idea of different gravitational fields, and reconciling that with quantum theory along with "classic" Newtonian and Einsteinian physics.

Added detail:

Ever since I first encountered G, I always wondered, "is gravity really constant? Is it emergent from 'the universe', or from matter?"

This eventually led to thinking about, "well maybe gravity has more or different properties than G".

As evidenced by the link to a typical comment from me above, these thoughts are always dismissed out of hand. For good reason. But now that a "legit" particle physicist is raising these questions, I hope to see some movement.

No worries, CUDA (non)support on Mac is clearly directly created by Apple

The store of value is the infrastructure, edifices, and monuments of intellectual capital. Geez man, how much more parroting can you do? Would your comment history reveal talk of “NFTs wtf amirite!!!”

When S&P plunges more than 10%, buybuybuy. 30%? Shit go full margin and back up the truck. I’m sitting on 2x since Dec.

Protips. Saas is the thesis. Long term solar is a 100x-1000x easy-ish bet. Capture is “good enough”, we are going to solve storage. Transmission will significantly collapse into storage. Game will change. The entire energy game.

Isn’t it the case that for *any* arbitrary 30 year period of S&P, the worst you could do is 2x, and the best 1000x? And the mode something like 10x

For 20 years it reduces where I think some periods could actually produce flat or slightly negative, but the best and mode are still up in that range.

Hey, yeah. Investing is “risky”. Keep “working on your career”, and squirrel away into 401ks then.

This is a really weird response.

1. Nowhere did I mention Blender, although yes, this is a primary gripe

2. Even if I had, where does the inference that Blender somehow drove this come from?

3. Why leave out Metal2 and AMD frome the discussion?

“We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.”

All I know is, this better bypass the dumb AF "MAc OS can't use CUDA drivers with the discrete GPU"

Like, why tf did i buy the macbook pro with expensive discrete GPU and can't even use it to render GPU accelerated 3D. Seems like a primary use case
