Oh la vache, une vraie amรฉlio ! รa court pas les rues en ce moment.
I was already 5-10x as fast as the average person at knowledge work. And now in areas that are in or near any domain I specialize in for my career, working together with AI I am 1000x faster then others. And that is true even if they use AI as well.
It makes sense, then, that the left loathes AI. It increases inequality enormously.
Molly Carlson's first quad attempt after slipping off the platform.
She recovered better from the slip in those few seconds than I would have if I’d just done the dive. I would not have survived in either case.
Local minima are extremely rare in high-dimensional spaces.
Very nice. Trump is shit at many things, but very well done there.
My late Grandfather and his triple monitor setup.
Judging by the clues in this image and me just knowing a lot about tech, this photo was likely taken 1977-1979. Possibly as late as 1982, but not before 1975.
How I know: Color graphic operator stations with trackballs didnโt really exist commercially before about 1974โ75. By ~1982, a system like this would have been far more likely to have purpose-built monitors as well as a mouse and would look less like someone’s living room furniture.
Also, hard to tell, but this seems like a typical 1970s chromogenic color print where the cyan fades first, leaving the colors washed out just that way.
If I had to pick a year for this precisely, I’d say it was taken in 1979.
At sea level, the atmosphere presses on your body with a weight of around 41,000โ45,000 pounds.
Luckily, the pressure is equal inside you and outside. And water is nearly incompressible.
Over the last week or so, I’ve been flattered and happy to discover that I’ve become a one-person music recommendation service to many of my friends.
It’s nice to be useful.
Military camouflage actually works quite well in the environment where it is intended to be used.
Those look like Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs, almost certainly the Brazilian Air Force’s modernized F-5EM variant. The camo pattern gives it away. And that the city is Porto Alegre, Brazil.
But indeed, good camo.
Micron demonstrates 512GB DDR5 RDIMM reaching 9200 MT/s.
I’ll need two of those for Firefox alone soon enough. These days, though, that’d cost about a trillion dollars.
Great goddamn, that is impressive. They play tennis better than I do…from a wheelchair.
It’s fortunate that the now-ubiquitous copyright maximalists and braindead Bluesky screechers were not able to strangle AI in the cradle. It’ll end up being a great boon for humanity.
That is unless it really does foom and kill us all. I mean, there’s that.
I’ve had such a fantastic life!
Who could’ve imagined, growing up like I did with all those years of absolute hell. Then I made my own fate. It also helped finding the best partner in the known universe.
Very cool! But deleting the emissions stuff wouldn’t get you much. The problems are more related to the low compression ratio, very conservative cam and restrictive exhaust. Fixing those is where the real gains would come from with a car like that. Could get it from the anemic 190HP of its era (assuming it’s not the new-for-1975 Bendix EFI version that gave you 215HP) to maybe 250HP or so without risking anything. But it’s gonna reduce that glorious 11mpg you’d get even more, to probably around 9mpg or so.
I’d never want to own it, but I love that 5,300 pound absurd car.
I do think the tide is starting to turn on tattoos, especially on women. I overheard two young women at the hotel I am staying at now for a conference (they were maybe 18-19?) talking about how trashy tattoos looked and they were not planning on getting any even though they legally could now.
Good for them.
