cushpush··on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible (2019)
>But in an effort to keep it as cheap as possible, the decision was made to go with a design that, in theory, would give users a 50/50 chance of plugging it in correctly (you can up the odds by looking at the inside first, or identifying the logo).

I despise this "design decision." Literally bakes in the 50% of the time you plug it in the wrong orientation and lose seconds of your life. Who cares if the sands of time are moving more rapidly than asteroids? We can save money and make more of these badboys to fill the landfills with once they're obsolete. Hard to argue that logic that clearly won via market dynamics. But where are we now?

cushpush··on NIST Elliptic Curves Seeds Bounty
You guys are gonna revisit this post in 20 years and see I was right, cracking ECC is impossible, and starting with a "could have looked like this" seed phrase is a wild goose chase multiplied by a needle in a haystack.

"dot at, dot at, dot at"
cushpush··on Nobel Prize Chemistry 2023
A quantum dot is like a prism made of electrons; the sizes can be adjusted so that the color emitted is different and their properties of semiconducting and so on are drastically different. “The discovery here is for actually purifying quantum effects to actually become materials you can touch.”

cushpush··on Ask HN: How do I code offline for a week?
Large sketchbook from a local art supplies store, blank pages, and several nice pens at .05 because .01 archival quality will bend and be not-useful readily.

cushpush··on Ask HN: Is there an AI coding assistant that allows adding up to date libraries?
That's a really great idea, you can do "data analysis" with newer versions of ChatGPT4 enabling some "labs" feature in the Settings. That might get closer to what you want, maybe you can "create a synopsis" of latest docs and preload conversations with it. If you show it enough examples, and you may not need to show very many at all, it can be a great way to go.
cushpush··on The Unforeseen LSD Overdose of 1972
Not happy about this sort of terror talk for extreme cases. It's like launching yourself into the sun and then writing a piece about the extreme temperatures in excruciating detail. Most people do not interact or engage with the sun in a "launch myself into it directly" way and therefore mentioning such stories in a fresh landscape that will invariably become baseline pieces in search sequences, is something I'm not thrilled with. It is an amazing molecule and we should be working to research all the miraculous benefits possible at small quantities (we concentrate soap, why is it surprising that concentrated medicine exists).
