I wish we had a brave new world, we’re getting 1984. While a brave new world was unsettling, almost every character enjoyed their lives. We’re getting “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever.”
I know you were just using that title because it conveniently fit the sentence. I just needed to get this off my chest.

Great call! Completely forgot about batteries and potato power sources!

Honestly, fantastic explanation!
- Comment on Reactor goes brrr 1 month ago:
Hydro, wind, solar, and wave/tide energy capture are not.
The crazy part is photovoltaics are the only power source that doesn’t spin something to make electricity. Truly an outlier.

The next generation of learning celebrities are already here. I don’t think they will be the same as those in the past though. Video sites allow far more niche versions of these great educators who don’t need to work on getting TV contracts to spread their enthusiasm for their subjects. I doubt future generations will have singular celebrity educators, but a wide array of them that all get to add their own creative touch to learning.
I’m very excited about it.
Grant Sanderson (3blue1brown) for example will change future generations’ relationship with learning math. We haven’t have a celebrity math educator before!

Solid comic!
I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I’ve been learning Godot recently too.

What does this mean? Cameras? Machines that can identify things via images?

I’ve changed my mind and I’d like to disagree with my previous statement. You can’t pay people to care.
Very good point. I worked for an employee owned company and I hated the work, but loved the atmosphere. There really was this sense of everyone there working together to make everyone better. I don’t think stock options can provide the same atmosphere, the employees need to have agency around leadership choices as well as the compensation that comes with it.

I disagree, I think if you provide ownership of the company as part of compensation you can pay people to care. No big companies do this, but I think they could!

Building a broad coalition without policy concessions was a waste of time? You’re going to have a tough time convincing me of that point.

TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!
So far the group is: Trees Vegetables Weeds Pets Continents The culinary use of fruit

Well done grass. You really won this round.

Certainly could if it had good contact. If it was air gapped (held up by hair), it could be an effective barrier for shorter wavelengths.
- Comment on Not to mom shame... 6 months ago:
I took some antenna theory courses back in the day and yes, you are correct. Some frequencies reflect off the upper atmosphere so there would be a longer effective range at higher incident angles (going into the top of the head) but it wouldn’t completely block radio waves. Going from memory, the wavelengths that reflect off the upper atmosphere are long enough that a tin foil hat wouldn’t cause much interference anyways.
TLDR: Fashionable, but not practical.

Totally agree. The general concept of calculus is pretty straightforward. The implementation of calculus is an exercise of algebra.

I honestly needed to hear this today, so thank you. I’m at work trying to work out someone else’s uncommented code and have just been staring at it mumbling to myself. I’m new to the position so I’m anxious my new coworkers will think I’m just dicking around… This is the validation I needed. Thanks everyone!
