Tangentially, it always entertains me when people use "in minecraft" after saying one of the few things that's actually illegal to say and then get shocked when they get in trouble for it tbh
There was a court case last year IIRC where someone was explaining to the jury that "'in minecraft' is a phrase people use when they want to pretend they're not serious" or some such 🤣
...pretty sure there was a conviction there though, turns out the law is not defeated by such spells

which is funny cuz I'm super depressed and unmotivated
But, before disenchantment: chop tree, stoke fire. After disenchantment: chop tree, stoke fire.

I was in Chillocothe, Ohio a few years ago. A friend told me that there was no way there could be train lines there
Then I was in a free-to-the-public bus and the driver was pointing out the train lines that used to run in there, "shame they got shut down."

@ZachWeinersmith It would be really funny if the challenge was actually relating to the shape of the message and not the binary contents

@khm @davep Ah, but they did so under coercion, whereas OP said
> democratic enough to have rid ourselves of weapons of mass destruction
> democratic enough
I'm curious what OP thinks about a circumstance where a nation votes, in a direct referendum, to build more nukes? 😂
"Democratic" and "did awful things" often go hand in hand lol

...i don't want to run the math on this but it actually makes sense that it should work?
Maintain a vacuum in the exterior walls, and only thermal radiation matters; since the surface area is relatively small, the amount of heat loss should be pretty minimal. Apply thicker vacuum - or possibly an IR-reflective layer outside to return a portion of radiated heat - and the actual amount of heat needed should be much much lower.
Existing vacuum insulation panels claim a rating of up to like R-30, which is probably more than 10x what I've got. Divide my actual heating consumption by ten...
Ballpark napkin math but it's remarkably close to "a single human output to heat a home"
(Of course that doesn't account for the energy of maintaining that vacuum. Or, alternatively, of producing it and containing it in a panel. But this is the internet, so i leave that as an exercise for the nutjob crazy enough to try doing this)

Just get better insulation and human output is plenty!!!
(Could vacuum insulation actually be good enough for this? At a certain point, I don't think thermodynamics will allow for Just One More Insulation Panel, Bro to actually do very much, when the heat differential is too large, but with vacuum insulation, maybe?)

... I'll have you know that my exercise can power, uh, at least a dozen light bulbs!
Long as they're all LED :p
100w sustained output is totally possible and more than enough for lighting!
*nitpicking and dodging the point*
In all seriousness having moved in to manual labor from engineering recently it's really amazing how much of a difference it makes
Walkable/bikeable cities, too. I burn a great deal of energy just, living.

Working on an old abandoned code base where i can't talk to the authors and it takes hours to figure out some of the bullshit it's pulling off, i can definitely see the appeal for a tool that can quickly read over the code and check my inferences on e.g. memory flow and ownership patterns
Nowadays, people would obviously default to either LLMs for that or for arguing that humans should do it because the other people are saying LLMs and fuck that
But what I'm more interested in: there's plenty of static analysis tools for checking code you wrote. Is there any prior art in deterministic static analysis tools that help _read code_ by other people?
Dataflow and control flow analysis are super commonly used in compiler optimization. Are there any tools out there that do dataflow analysis and then, say, can look at a variable and show all _possible references_ and relevant code?
E.g. this Foo* is passed to foo(), so it can be f there, which might call bar, and ...)
Or "this code allocates Bar, here's the entire possible relevant code for what might happen to that across this 100kloc project, here's every function in every file that might use _that specific value_, and an explanation of how it gets there"

It's plenty powerful enough for me, but my use for it is largely somewhere between PDA and digital notebook, with the rest being more computer-*assisted* work than anything else
Plan9 runs absolutely fantastically on the older imx8 default module
And the newer modules are decently fast too, and iirc there's a Snapdragon one coming soon too, I'm just very much of the belief that if i need high end hardware, it means my software is dumb and bad 😅

Heh. It's actually a generic 90W walmart laptop charger.
Tbh their generic tech stuff has been surprisingly good. I've had this charger for a few years now and it works great with the reform and thinkpad and portable battery.
I usually think of them as cheap / low-quality but they seem to be doing better in terms of reliability / longevity / not being manufactured waste, recently...

Heh, no
Realistically not many people could even see it, let alone with an angle to look scary, though I've got many many awful *jokes* as to why nobody's nervous 😅

I wonder how many other times a diesel engine has been used to charge sodium cells?
Mnt reform
