Peculiar how Kamala’s stance on Israel / Palestine shifted after she became the presidential candidate. It’s almost if there’s like a powerful group of people preventing politicians that are critical towards Israel from gaining influence. Probably just some crazy conspiracy theory bullshit though.

I can’t understand climate change denial. I was born in the 80’s and when I was a kid the summer was considered warm if there was a week or two of day time highs of at least 25°C. Now a summer with two months of at least 25°C is normal. Spring has sort of almost disappeared, one day you’re skiing and two weeks later it’s summer and cycling season already.

I’m not really complaining, the weather here is much better compared to what it was when I was young, but it’s definitely concerning and to claim it hasn’t changed in the last 20 years is just plain denial or insanity.

AI is not generating nearly enough revenue from the actual end users at the moment. Companies are betting on things being somehow different in the future, but my bet is price hikes and enshittification hitting the AI services when VC money starts running out.

that’s basically chemistry. At relativistic speeds the electrons of the projectile don’t have play a significant role. It’s going to be atomic nuclei hitting atomic nuclei and the time it takes to go through the earth is like two microseconds for the projectile going at ( 1 - 10^-9 ) c. Even that, I suppose, is too long for the particle beam to scatter momentum from fusing with other particles, creating gamma rays, creating exotic particles etc. But we could just always go even closer to c? (on paper)

I think any matter going fast enough would do that. In the fast going thing’s perspective the earth would basically be just a thin membrane.

then at first day of work:

just use sudo su, we don’t have all day here.

Oulu is like 500km from civilization. You need those high speed rail tracks.

Mr. Kernighan explains it nicely I think.

how do you know?

2 - 4 beers and 0.5 - 2mg alprazolam usually calms me down enough that I can get a handfull of hours of good shuteye.

I thought it was crazy that the report had entry on how much money I lost with my investments and that was deducted in my taxes. I’ve never told them that I’ve traded stocks and still the tax man knows my money shit better than I do.

He squats ATG and does RDLs.

ketamine?

Our previous CTO left by saying “I have enough money now. Peace out!”

literally visible from space.

But haven’t you seen the video of NK soldiers do flips and throw knives and shit? Who needs combat experience?

I mean it makes sense when you think about how the circles arrange in an infinte square and e.g. 4r square. There has to be some fuckery between the perfect packing and the small square packing. You can see a triangle of almost perfect packing in the middle of the 49 circle square, surrounded by fault lines in the structure and then some more good packing, and garbage in the bottom.
