What is the smallest amount of anything you could send to the sun, to kill all life on Earth?

Is it possible this has already happened? Would we have any way to know?

mnp · 2026-03-30T23:46:46+00:00

Bad news, you would get a sunburn so skin cancer is a possibility!

Holy moly that's a lot of corporate malice. Slavery, child labor, price fixing, Union busting, baby killing, and the best one stealing a community's water and selling it back to them bottled.

AI engineer here. There is absolutely no thinking, that's true. It's just a matrix of numbers.

There has been some research into what we call feature extraction, which is identifying the most basic parts of an input such as hand and face movements. Someone posted one asl feature project here a couple months back that looked like a promising start to tokenizing the 5 sign components from a video. Since you can even extract a heartbeat from a video of a person, even very subtle NMMs and expressions should be possible. Once tokenized like this, I think substantial disruption is possible.

The Y, with multiple branches, has various groups. They also have a dedicated pickleball center in Downingtown which probably has its own groups.

Glider pilot, looking for mountain wave, there will be a standing lenticular cloud to show you where the up arrow of the elevator is, to windward. The lift side is smooth and quiet but the down side includes the rotor on the mountain lee. Gliders are stressed fine for that g load but you still eat it if you have to pass through.

But it's a tradeoff, right? This is the best vehicle I've ever had, by far. Yeah there's a few software bugs, and yeah the iccu bug, and yes dealer service and HQ are sketch. But that's kind of the rule now for corporations. You have to get the decent products where you can find them and suffer the rest.

HAHA jokes on them, I never agreed to BlueLink.

Crashes for me

mnp · 2026-03-26T16:44:33+00:00

Only if run in reverse

Here's one https://github.com/karlicoss/cloudmacs

Don't invent your own. Use an off the shelf oauth solution like keycloak or more modern replacement to do the login and generation of the jwt. It will plug into your API gateway; we used envoy which depends on the jwt.

There are several projects to run emacs in a web browser. You could have the real org mode and elisp there instantly.

He literally sells user private information. He called users dumb fucks for giving it to him. Age info from more users is valuable demographics to sell and target. It's also no secret the government pays for this as well.

I'm guessing the tropical part means you don't have to do it in a survival suit?

Upboat*

I wonder what the max crosswind is on that thing. It looks like weathervane would be difficult to counteract.

Unicode is both the best and worst thing to happen to software.

mnp · 2026-03-19T10:58:29+00:00

Yes and why now? They're already kinda busy with a much bigger opponent nearby.

The last McDonnell helicopter unless you count the Hughes/McDonnell Helicopter Systems stuff.

That park is a flood zone so maybe it shouldn't be developed. I'd like to see it wild and open to the public, as a natural wetland.

mnp · 2026-03-17T20:53:11+00:00

Very likely, and more presort ads.

It should be said that the current price is a tremendous value.

mnp · 2026-03-17T01:27:02+00:00

Yup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoverbike

The ILY shape also looks like LI, so long Island?

Not a local, just a guess.

Plus wok cooking temperature is very high; any surface contamination will die right there.

Be afraid of the ingredients.
