I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks
  • There’s one out there, named something like kangaroo, where they actually have signed firmware, and a hardware read/write switch (most of the time, the read/write switch is software based) parentheses.

    I played this during one of the NextFests, and I’m psyched that it’s almost out. Think of Slay The Spire, but with Lovecraft.

  • I think I’ll have to do a modified version of that, Imposter Syndrome where half of you is in a suit and the other half is sweats and a t-shirt. “Hi my name is” “how others see you”/“how you see yourself”

    Anthropic Wants Its AI Agent to Control Your Computer
  • But if they’re having to manually edit 700 of 1000 orders, then it’s like saying “self driving but we have someone take over every 5 minutes”. Which is extremely misleading when they say “it’s AI!!!!”

    Our Galaxy Appears To Be Part Of Structure So Large It Challenges Our Models Of Cosmology
  • It's a great big universe
    And we're all really puny
    We're just tiny little specks
    About the size of Mickey Rooney
    It's big and black and inky
    And we are small and dinky
    It's a big universe, and we're not!

  • www.propublica.org Utah Supreme Court Rules That Alleged Sexual Assault by a Doctor Is Not “Health Care”

    The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.

    I am looking at these two, trying to find a deal on the Pro 2022 that makes it close to the price of the 13" 2024 Air. Right now the "deals" are still in the $999 range for it, as opposed to $800 for the Air. Which sucks - seems like the 2022 is still better, but $200 is $200. I have a pro 10.5" now, but the lure of bigger has finally won out, years later. Trying to see if I'm missing anything - on paper the 2022 is still better, even if older.

    Advantages of the Pro 2022:

    • FaceID, not TouchID
    • Promotion display (120hz vs the Air's 60hz)
    • can run external display

    Advantages of the Air 2024:

    • Cheaper
    • Newer - supported longer?
    • ? Anything else?

    Don’t know how I’ve never come across this, but this made me laugh and cry and nod appreciatively.

    Every summer, outside Mason Texas, approximately 4 million pregnant female Mexican Free -tailed bats come to give birth. Over the next couple of months, the babies grow, start flying with their moms, and eventually fly home. Not quite the size of Bracken, but at that time of year it’s one of the largest bat colonies in the world. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/eckert-james-river-bat-cave-preserve/

    It’s an interesting place to get to. If you’re in a normal car, you need to pay attention to rain, as part of the directions are “turn off the paved road, drive 8 miles, ford a small river, then drive another mile or so”. The road is… not great, especially the last few hundred yards. But the bat flight is amazing. Seating is close you can get brushed by them. It’s a fantastic couple of hours.

    I'm looking at feats for my Monk. Last night we were fighting the phase spiders and the spiderlings came in. Because we hadn't spread out enough, all of them came towards our group, so they were within melee range of me. I'm wondering if I would've gotten a reaction attack against each one (so... 6?), or if it's a once-per-turn thing. Thanks.

    I have “mark read when scrolled past” turned on. And now I have (1) posts within the past day or two, and (2) posts older than a month (since I joined about a month ago).

    Is there any way to mark ALL older posts read? It’s weird because I’ll be reading a post from a few hours ago, and then suddenly be reading news from a while ago, and I’m sick of hearing about the old news.

    Thanks!

    www.wbay.com GREAT VIDEO: Ice circles in Two Rivers

    The video looks like the water turned into a big bowl of Cheerios!

    Ice circles were the first kind of BMF that I ever came across. I figure since nobody else has posted here, it’s the perfect type of thing to “start” with.

    Enjoy!
