bradmcgo··on Ooh.directory
Definitely checking this out. I’d love to dive into some new blogs that offer in-depth, rich, original content.
bradmcgo··on The age of social media is ending
Can we just go back to using forums again? I know they never died but can they actually get indexed in search engines more frequently? Forums are awesome.
bradmcgo··on Ask HN: Comment here about whatever you're passionate about at the moment
Great post! I’m currently getting into Blender, starting with the famous Blender Guru Donut tutorial. I’m absolutely amazed by how capable and expansive the entire application is for being completely free and open-source software. My PC isn’t exactly the most capable (at least for now) but seeing how 3D models are created, even simple ones, is really illuminating and not to mention super fun!
bradmcgo··on Study links omega-3s to improved brain structure, cognition at midlife
It’s strange. Whenever I take liquid Omega-3s, I feel… off. It seems to make me feel mentally lethargic. I know that’s super vague but I’m not sure how else to describe it.
bradmcgo··on How do you make an enduring toy?
But did you play with K’nex as a child?
bradmcgo··on US Government building AI tech to unmask anonymous writers
So will we live in a world where anonymous and pseudonymous writers hide behind AI generated translations of their original writing? Will this become a new cat and mouse game?
bradmcgo··on Gen Z never learned to read cursive
Zoomer here. I attended a Catholic school and can assure you that in second grade, I did indeed learn how to read and write in cursive.

Not sure if this is limited to the school that I attended.

bradmcgo··on Apple M1 Ultra
It really feels like this is all in the name of their AR/VR efforts. The killer device as far as I can think would be a simple headset that packs the capabilities of full-blown workstations. Apple Silicon seems like it could totally be on that track in some way.
bradmcgo··on Why does my diet soda taste off? Aspartame hydrolysis
Interesting. Aspartame just seems to make me incredibly hungry.
bradmcgo··on Starting a crypto project
I would strongly argue that crypto does present genuine value to the world...
bradmcgo··on Feynman: I am burned out and I'll never accomplish anything (1985)
Couldn’t agree more. It can be scary at times, but at least you’ll feel intrinsically at ease.
