Also plug shape and power strips desperately need better standards because some plugs take up multiple spots for no reason. The MacBook power brick is especially crazy.

I wish US power outlets were better. I have replaced so many because they become fire hazards after 5 years of daily use. We've chosen so many terrible standards and we hate change.

There is no doubt that agent swarms in 2026 are capable of pushing frontiers. But having capitalists in charge has predictably resulted in reckless development, theft, lies, and disrespect for life.

It also blows my mind how many people are willing to take huge paychecks to be reckless engineers working at companies with a clearly cursed trajectory. Like I can't be friends with you if you worked at Facebook, or any of these ai labs. All of them should lose their careers in a just world.

Using artifactory as a shared message board between sandboxed agents is very clever and also something their security team should have immediately flagged. If they actually cared about security and safety they would have built a proper sandbox.

Wireless earbuds were such a crazy invention that was kinda overshadowed by the smartphone. We can all be in our own world, for better and worse. But I would absolutely implant wireless audio in my head if that becomes a safe option.

I don't need the shielding but some people do, and I respect people that think of others before posting. Mark graphic media, write alt text, don't pick fights in the comments. Otherwise it's social littering.

I don't understand why people think there's a penalty to being verbose. Abbreviating only causes confusion. It's true in programming too. Whole words effortlessly communicate something. There's plenty of room for the text and there's no ink to save because it's thermal paper. This is so stupid.

I like Hank Green but he isn't great at interviewing people and it's kinda uncomfortable to watch him try. I just can't get through Ask Hank Anything or the new Humans podcast. I feel like he struggles to read his guest's energy and he's too eager to "um actually" and derail the conversation.

I can't wait till LISA. This is so cool

satellites are free-flying, the spacing is easily adjusted before launch, with upper bounds being imposed by the sizes of the teiescopes required at each end of the interferometer (which are constrained by the size of the launch vehicle's payload fairing) and the stability of the constellation orbit (larger constellations are more sensitive to the gravitational effects of other planets, limiting the mission lifetime). Another length-dependent factor which must be compensated for is the "point- ahead angle" between the incoming and outgoing laser beams; the telescope must receive its incoming beam from where its partner was a few seconds ago, but send its outgoing beam to where its partner will be a few seconds from now.
