Doorstep2077··on Atom was archived today
I remember using Atom back in high school, sad to see it go. It was fun while it lasted. Now primarily using VSCode, I'm curious what the next best IDE will be.

Doorstep2077··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
I keep seeing lots of talks of nuclear energy being the next greatest form of energy, but ever since Chernobyl, it seems like people are afraid even though Chernobyl was a one-off incident that wasn't regulated well.
Doorstep2077··on Who invented the thumb drive?
One interesting fact about thumb drives is that they have evolved significantly since they were first introduced. The first thumb drives were created in the late 1990s and were much larger and less reliable than the ones we use today. They were also much slower, with data transfer speeds of only a few megabytes per second. In comparison, modern thumb drives can transfer data at speeds of hundreds of megabytes per second and are small enough to fit on a keychain. This has made them an essential tool for many people, and they are now commonly used to store and transfer data for personal and professional use.

Interesting to see how specific copyright can reach and how broad it can go in other cases.

Always been interested in physics since I was a kid, so seeing this kind of stuff with dark matter and being able to understand how it'd be used in practical applications is fascinating to me.
Doorstep2077··on Ask HN: How does ChatGPT work?
It's definitely a step up from GPT-3, but I'm curious how much further it has to go before it's actually scary. Right now, I feel like there's still quite a bit of progress to be made.
Doorstep2077··on Disputing a Parking Fine with ChatGPT
I've felt ChatGPT is pretty great for creating generalizations / broad observations but when it gets to specifics, it can fail.
Doorstep2077··on Base editing: Revolutionary therapy clears girl's incurable cancer
This looks pretty great, hopefully a huge step forward for the medical industry and finding cures for cancer. Unfortunately don't know too much about it; wish there was something that allowed me to learn about medical problems easily, without needing to understand the jargon
Doorstep2077··on End-to-end encrypted messages need more than libsignal
Encryption's always hard to get right, so it honestly doesn't surprise me that libsignal isn't enough. Though I've never had good experience with libsignal
