Most of them these days are smart enough to NOT spin their wheels when idle.

The only two types of communications I have ever experienced in ham radio are (a) about ham radio or (b) extreme right-wing nutjobbery.

I'd say Anathem is the best of the bunch, and has held up best over time.

You should read 'Anathem' by Neal Stephenson, which goes into great deal about this kind of establishment.

"SLAM" is the term to google.

The app doesn't have to do this itself, phones do it for you. ARCore on Android, ARKit on iOS.

You wouldn’t download a button

I’m curious how much you used AI to write it, as it’s just chock full of Claude-isms.

I've been using an Anatek Pocket Record for the past 34 years. Bought it when I was 14. That's value!

This seems to no longer work, or at least, I clicked over 100 times and didn't get anything.

Copilot means so many things now it doesn't even tell you anything about they do.

My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over.

A huge number of people come from families or even entire cultures where Father Is Never Wrong.

This is weirdly misogynistic.

I’m really curious what you think this comment contributes. Like what was the motivation for posting it?

It’s one year, and only for hardware defects.

Going down hill is easy, right?

Language changes. I guarantee if you ask 100 people to draw a moped, maybe 2 will put pedals on it.

That's missing the 'amp' part.

I interviewed at Epic in 2011. Got through a couple rounds - enough to see how weird and culty the place was.

I was alone in a room with one of my interviewers, who seemed pretty sharp. I asked him "do you like working here?"

He looked at me, glanced at the closed door, leaned forward and said in a low voice "nobody likes working here. If you have another option, take it."

I thanked him and left and I'm very glad I did.

that was true of intel but definitely not of arm macbooks.

They’re literally the 2nd group mentioned?

Does every single thing need to be about AI? Really?

Or you could use https://krazydad.com/ which has been around for decades, contains interesting puzzles many of which are types the author invented, and isn't AI slop.

Apart from THAT what have the Romans ever done for us?

Amusingly, I (Daniel Drucker) originally discovered this while playing with extremely stupid compound units for energy - in particular converting joules back and forth to “atmosphere barn megaparsecs”. Yes, that’s energy.

This would also be a good place to mention my units toy: https://3e.org/units/
