Mostly me too. Much of the promising tech has either not lived up to its promise or been utilized at large in ways that make the world worse. It’s really made me very cynical.

The 25th was not created to react to the death of millions but to prevent it.
Dear Chief Justice Roberts, is threatening the death of a civilization within the scope of the President's Article II absolute immunity? Or just his presumptive immunity?
Asking for a nation.

Trump must be removed from office via the 25th. A serious threat to use nuclear weapons (implied) is insanity and practically it would very likely result in nukes being used here too. Nuclear war cannot be won.
Ah so kinda a more robust alternative to adding an on “blur” event listener.
Because I like data, here's what you actually get when you normalize "help with mortgage" vs. other common "help with" searches.
TL/DR, *proportionally*, it's unusually low now.
I like the sparkle in her eyes as she steals
Pretty sure the first on is a raven, the second is a gull but the third is a quintessential crow.
DLSS is motion smoothing but for games. Motion smoothing makes TVs look worse and DLSS ignores the intent behind the graphic style of games in a way I think makes them worse. I think there are maybe some limited contexts where it improves things but not broadly so.

Excited to finally announce we are collaborating with scientists to create a 3D bioprinted liver with an award from ARPA-H n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/blog/?p=9970
For those who want to test their perception of colour, I made a little game called "What's My JND"

Joe Rogen is just a more moderate Alex Jones.
Surely you mean PEI sheet not PP sheet.
I mean there are still very real performance gains (particularly when it comes to energy efficiency) between nodes so newer nodes are still better… but the scaling laws are different than they were some years ago. Important to look at benchmarks of chips by third parties to see real world changes.
I don’t care what the process is as those number have nothing to do with actual transistor sizes and haven’t for over a decade. It’s marketing mostly.
Eg what they say in the third paragraph:

Yep M1 is plenty fast enough still. I think I can get another 2 years out of my M1 Max before it’s feeling slow and then I’ll have gotten 7 years out of it which is about right for a laptop I think.
It’s inconvenient and somewhat costly to initially setup but buy physical media and rip to self-hosted Jellyfin. Fully legal and cheaper than streaming. Bonus: your library gradually grows over time and stuff doesn’t disappear when some exec just decides they want to stop paying actors residuals.
I did also realize most of my posts actually were backed up here because I had my account followed by @ap.brid.gy
It does look like some of the images aren’t there for whatever reason (my guess is it’s just an href to a url that no longer exists on the instance) but it got the videos clips!
It really is a first hand blow to the argument of the resilience of the fediverse. The argument was that if things went haywire at one instance you could always just migrate to a new instance…maybe not, it seems.
Yep. Sad to learn the backups are gone. That’s crazy.
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
If I had UBI and it were actually enough to cover a bit of housing and food, I’d be working on some seriously cool stuff all day.
I largely support the Thingiverse purchase by MyMiniFactory. It needs new life and I think AI generated models are a scourge, currently. I could see a day where AI could ethically and efficiently produce a quality model but for now the ethics and quality of the process and results are awful.
Do Revo nozzles print significantly better / differently?
All cozy by the fireplace for the winter ice storm of 2026.
Abolished. I don’t want a reformed fascist institution filled with neo Nazis. Such an institution does not exist for the benefit of America and it’s unwise to try and reform it.
My favorite use case is printing alternatives to otherwise overpriced repair parts that are priced to nudge you into replacing the whole damn thing.
The free press is not served by assisting the facists in manufacturing consent.
Looks like they released the .f3d source as well. IE, this is not a real point of contention.
Good to see. I didn’t see them there when I first looked.
