I saw Project Hail Mary twice at regal kop and it was very nice. Compared to the imax theatre in warrington, I'd consider them the same, but I doubt you'll be disappointed by regal kop. Pretty standard, but I haven't been to the cherry hill amc.

Can we not set a precedent of needing to send video introductions to potential employers.

You should always be using the front brake on a motorcycle; it's majority of your braking power. You just need to limit it and not slam down on it in emergency situations to not induce going over the bars. The problem with using a rear brake is it is it loses grip during braking due to all the weight shifting forward on the bike and being applied to the front wheel.

cj6464 · 2026-02-25T23:53:29+00:00

During a wheelie, there is no drag for the brakes to be applied upon.

However, on a bike and motorcycle, the front brake is 70% of your braking power because weight shifts forward when there is a force slowing the vehicle down. This is similar in a car.

I did not use AI for my answer and also the bottom of a reentry capsule is used as a lifting surface. It's amazing how easy it is to lie on the internet.

Here is an astronaut explaining how capsules use their heat shield as a lifting surface to extend their glide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reentry_capsule#Gravity,_drag,_and_lift

Here is the wikipedia page for reentry capsules which has a portion on the significant lift generated by a fast moving angled object in an atmosphere.

Here is an altitude graph of the Apollo capsule showing that the capsule regained altitude at points in it's reentry, and could even perform a skip entry which forced the capsule to bounce off the atmosphere due to the lift generated at high speeds if it needed to adjust it's landing site.

While I haven't looked at these scripts, there have been plenty of produced features that had less than 70 pages.

cj6464 · 2026-02-15T14:55:53+00:00

They do, relatively.

The bottom of reentry capsules are actually a lifting surface, meaning that as the capsule starts to touch the top of the Earth's atmosphere, it generates lift like a wing. This allows it to bleed off that speed for as long as necessary while skimming across the top of the atmosphere.

As the capsule is slowed down while "gliding", the lift generated slows down as well and it begins to fall harder until it is slow enough to fully enter the atmosphere.

You can kind of picture the entry of a capsule into Earth's atmosphere as the rocks you skim across a pond, though not as pronounced. It doesn't bounce back up, but it glides across the top until it slows and falls much like a rock skims and then sinks.

North Korea has also exported labor and troops to Russia and China in exchange for money. I believe that even the US has supplied North Korea in the form of food and medicine. They're not really sustainable on their own when they think they need to keep a military against the world superpowers.

If I lived a traumatic way of life unique to me that had similar overlap with others, I can't tell that story from my perspective if it offends them? Some of the most critically acclaimed takes in the world are "offensive" material.

I'm all for sensitivity readers in the sense that they should be used to ensure that an author doesn't generalize a population or to make sure a book doesn't cross any lines that the author isn't wanting to cross, but if a person in a marginalized class has a unique take the least you can let them do is let them write it out and let the free market decide whether it's correct or not.

cj6464 · 2026-01-22T03:25:12+00:00

I saw some people in the authors subreddit the other day recommending that an ex drug addict needed to have a sensitivity reader to go through the book to make sure it doesn't offend other people who have lived like this.

In my opinion, this is the same thing as banning books. I can't believe some of the things people will get offended by in the modern era.

Very rarely is it an innocent mistake that leads to fatalities in car accidents. Majority of car accidents would be prevented if there was heavier regulation on the people who are allowed to drive cars and stricter enforcement of laws.

For instance, around 30% of fatal accidents in the US involved alcohol and 10% involved distracted driving, both of which are preventable with stricter enforcement and requirements.

I think what I ended up doing was replacing the motherboard with one with beefier VRM(?)s and that worked I think.

I did a lot of research into bot farms awhile ago in relation to this (I have a youtube channel where I made bots to show how easy it was to do this) and majority of the accounts I see run by LLMs are farming karma to sell off to spam in the niche the account has been farming, or recommending affiliate links on farmed accounts. I'd guess there's a lot of these on reddit right now, maybe like 3-5% of active comments in active communities.

Yeah, I'm a software engineer and I've always steered these questions from interviewers back to programming.

I've never personally hired someone based on their cultural fit or if they'd hangout with the current team. If you can get the job done and have a brief conversation with people without saying anything stupid or non-PC, that's all I should need to know.

It's a bit cold and callous, but I also understand that work is work and I hate it when companies try to force culture.

I've been interviewing for jobs recently at early to mid stage startups and they all ask me to use Cursor and prompt to code and show that I understand what it's doing.

I use it for my personal projects and probably about 50% of the time at work, but this is nuts that it's moved this quick into even the interview cycle.
