I believe in anyone who's willing to look stupid, face embarrassment, and be wrong. Watch out for people who are afraid to fail. It's the ones who can't admit they made a mistake who will blame shift and throw their partners under the bus the moment something goes wrong.

I'm pretty suspicious of anyone who prioritizes "land use" considerations for solar over the fact that ethanol corn uses far more acreage (and greater impact per acre!) than if our entire economy was solar...

This whole discussion is the crux of the animosity between Monero and Zcash. Funny enough, both agree fundamentally on default privacy, optional transparency. But each side has a disagreement over the technical implementation. I personally could take either: FCMP advanced view

Auf die Frage, wer „die Klimazukunft aktiv gestalten“ sollte, antwortete Kaufhold: „Natürlich denkt man in solchen Fragen zunächst an Parlament und Regierung. Wir stellen aber leider fest, dass sie das Thema nicht schnell genug voranbringen.“ Gerichte oder Zentralbanken hingegen

Asked Grok 4 a simple physics question. Not going to share it so it does not make it into the training data, but it is high school level. It failed miserably. This is not PhD level intelligence, whatever the benchmarks say. Still like it as a coding assistant though.

"A rejection [of Communist ideology] is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil."

Shoutout to the 5th-8th place finishers from this StarCraft tournament from 2011... With $BTC at a new all-time high, their losses earned them $2,875,960.

If you ever wondered what I am currently working on and what it's good for...

Brutal redpill.

How it started. How it‘s going.

Wenn Strom dauerhaft günstig wäre, würde jeder Mensch sofort eine Wärmepumpe einbauen. Aber Strom ist nirgends teurer als in Deutschland. Und Grüne wundern sich.

Robert Scoble Brayden Levangie It’s annoying that all these AI companies call themselves “labs” as though that’s a good thing. SpaceX makes more cutting edge breakthroughs than any aerospace university lab on Earth and doesn’t call itself a lab.

Want to know how we like to structure our async boundaries for iroh protocols? Iroh rpc can be used a a general purpose RPC lib, or as a way to write iroh protocols. It is a very opinionated crate. Serialization is postcard, length prefixes are postcard varints. The in

I wish this wasn't such a controversial opinion in the associated industries but food products shouldn't be sold in plastic. If you want to put 32oz of Tide in a plastic container, fine. We need to go back to glass, paper, and metal for most of our food products. Soda cans

Das Russland und andere Autokratien das NetzDG kopiert haben, vergisst der Spiegel aber gerne... 💁

When a key dependency vanished mid-project, LibreSpaceFoundation had a choice: find a replacement or rewrite the astrodynamics engine in Rust. Helge Eichhorn shares why they chose the latter - and whether it was worth it: oxidizeconf.com/sessions/rewri… #RustLang #OpenSource

🇬🇧The latest #ChatControl proposal is more extreme than the failed 2024 version: AI is to classify our photos as “suspicious”, secure #encryption is to be destoyed, indiscriminate mass scanning of our private chats. Make sure your government opposes! chatcontrol.wtf
