@jevbot.bsky.social There 2 doors with 2 guards in front. One door frees you, one door leads to death One guard is always truthful and the other always lies. You don't know who is who. What do you ask to find the door leading to freedom?

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social I bought the book (albeit in German) Imma read it and write a really long review on it on my website lol

The "Moonglow" book in front of a slightly dirty table, part of my legs are shown, I am wearing jeans on the top is a slight view of a vegan ham alternative I am snacking on, on the right is a box for my soldering iron, but my soldering iron is not on the box, but you don't really see that in the image - so I guess there's no point telling that.

Not even joking, this is a huge way I expect art to change in the coming years. At least "art" in the broad sense of written, visual, and musical production. Mind you, The Algorithm was already pushing this. Ominously, there's a journalism version. Journalists want news. Public wants conspiracy.

made a concrete statue of a lady (tiny one) I made it by 3d printing a temporary cast - then using a concrete mix to pour it into the cast and then chipped away and removed the cast

I don't think there will be one, Gemini flash is actually really good (imo) for programming purposes. I think google's aim is to make one api that does everything really fast - which I think is the long term sustainable goal

If possible, don't date the letter - and give explicit permission for the student to be able to use it in the future. There are teachers who wrote me lets of recommendation historically that I...feel weird going back to and asking for one again >.< Add a linkedin recommendation with that if possible

If prestige is what a country wants, isn't it cheaper for the country to advertise it's achievements globally via advertising platforms and/or media?. and if you're arguing that you'd prefer prestige grounded in science, the basis of my argument is that most scientific research points towards

worth it, I think alot of people are socially indoctrinated into feeling like a star-trek future is possible, without realizing how incredibly hard space engineering is, and how meagerly slow the speed of light is

Yeah, It's weird, so I'll admit my information on this topic is limited, but I remember Neil Degrass Tyson talking about how NASA takes up 1.5% of the government budget, which I personally find to be too expensive. (he argued that's cheap) I personally do not see this prestige as being financially

he's gotten alot of attention towards an item most governments don't focus on because financing medical development or getting more vaccines in congo is probably more useful to all practical matters than sending more satellites to space. I might bend to accepting spacex's satellites have been

Musk managed to get alot of money funded to alot of projects, you might even argue he has had lesser money to make some projects successful – one thing he certainly has done is better advertising, are spacex's projects actually cooler than putting the curiousity rover on Mars?, idk. But at the end

not to mention, we as human beings are *very very* social creatures, putting people in Mars is a stupid idea, because, even live video calling in Mars is impossible – you're going to have to live with the same 5 people for years if you wanna travel to Mars.

I think this has to do more with utility of the work, than just hiring. Space exploration (contrary to people's scifi opinions) isn't actually useful for most practical purposes. You often here people talking about space mining, etc.., but most projections of space mining put it as unfeasable

The annoying problem with China export taxation is that with the robotics stuff I am doing, the parts become more expensive and many of these parts don't have EU made alternatives. So I'm forced to give up on projects or spend more money building stuff

@mitsuhiko.at on an updated test, I am noticing that Pangram is flagging test I have written without the use of any AI whatsoever as AI detected very frequently. I am going to write an upcoming blog post about this, and film myself writing text that is detected as AI, this service is unusable.

People were like no, using genAI doesn't deskill you. And then *all* the CEO's started announcing that not only is deskilling the explicit goal, but then they brag that they don't know how to toast a poptart

also completely unrelated, I am learning German and Germans use the word "correspond/correlate" much more than English speakers, when people speak German. so now I am terribly conscious of my usage of the word.

I agree, I just think if you ranked the supportiveness of families on a graph from 1-10 and ranked every parent, it would correlate strongly with the wealth of the families. or if you watch as much hank green as me, hank's law.
