I love this… have been thinking about exactly this technology for years but combined with phased array directional loudspeaker and shotgun mic. Deploy during major political speech, instantly shut down brain of speaker, would appear to be an internal malfunction

Anyone else find that the iPhone camera app crashes about half the time these days? It's killing me...


Mine works fine.

Google Maps is the mind killer. We all worry about social media controlling the way we think, feel, vote etc. but Google Maps literally manipulates where people physically go in real life, what they do on holiday, where they hang out, what they eat etc. I got so sick of feeling like a four point five star Google Maps automaton I had to mostly stop with it. In addition to OSM, personal recommendations etc. the best substitute for me for a 4.5 star review is my nose, eyes and ears


And? Writing software at scale is incredibly hard. Where is the empathy for MS devs who are sprinting every day to give us an awesome product


Still waiting for the awesome product. Last time they shipped one was in 2009.


was that year where they added \n support to notepad ?


> Where is the empathy for MS devs

It's right there, next to the empathy they have for their paying customers.

Either IBM has cracked optically transparent coatings that cycle from 300 to 1K repeatedly and acrylic that has a metal's thermal conductivity, or it's a sham.

Really hard to tell which it could be.


> optically transparent coatings that cycle from 300 to 1K repeatedly and acrylic that has a metal's thermal conductivity

I believe that still wouldn’t work because optical part of the spectrum carries thermal energy too.


Oh hush, you're not going to nerd snipe me into doing the thermal flux calculations today.

Optical photons don't carry an impossible amount of energy: I've seen liquid helium through a small coated window. The window was there for ion beam purposes, not "entertaining the grad student", and it was a big element in the heat budget!


I’ve tried every scheme under the sun and Immich is the only thing I’ve ever seen that actually works for this use case


This is great advice, parties are a lost technology in some parts of society, like the pyramids. We should throw more parties

For a dinner party specifically I like to force everyone to go for a walk before dessert. By that point they’re all hot and drunk, sending them outside for a quick lap cools everybody off, gets them talking, and is good for the digestion. Then you can come home and crack into that bottle of wine someone brought


This is a real concern but academic groups also need funding/papers/hype, universities are not fundamentally immune either


Certified bad boy


We getting to agartha soon with this tech
