Stephen Miller on CNN actually said he considered djt to have limitless power (plenary authority) and then awkwardly froze as if he hadn’t wanted that to slip out.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 2 days ago:
Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
- Comment on Libraries are cool 2 days ago:
First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out against lending and borrowing.
- Comment on An academic disagreement 3 days ago:
Yes.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
As an expert in biting, expanding domains and arrogance, I can confirm more research might not be enough to invalidate this hypothesis

C-3PO and Clippy or Clippit but ok.

Celsius died in 1744, but according to Fahrenheit, that will only happen in 3171.

I’m impressed by AI, but I don’t want AI, now go away, AI.
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 weeks ago:
Political views are reactionary: if they’re against you, then naturally and by no real choice of your own, you’re against them.
So if anyone goes against you for your political views, they’ve made that decision long before you even learn about the political issue.
- Comment on Fourier 2 weeks ago:
It’s one of the sine waves making up the mixed signal and he’s got its frequency and amplitude, which is what fourier analysis is about.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 2 weeks ago:
M’eh at this point I have to assume his bots are to carry out mass extinction.
- Comment on Research shows research is the leading cause of research 2 weeks ago:
That may be so, but do your own research.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 3 weeks ago:
“climate activists have been taking over commercial apartments” So … trespassing? They breached privacy for apparent trespassing? Is that it?
- Comment on ICE's 'Frightening' Facial Recognition App is Scanning US Citizens Without Their Consent 3 weeks ago:
ICE don’t even show their ID do they? They think real police only have warrants and show their ID for no reason. They smahter than all of history combined you know. /s
- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 3 weeks ago:
Those trying to sell it are trying to figure out where it’s most useful. In one way, I think it’s an amazing technology, and I also wonder how it can be best used. However, I can’t stand it being pushed on me, and I wish I could easily say no.
- Comment on Scientific explanation 4 weeks ago:
I know this is only for fun, but what you have to do is: fix cat weight and calculate cat radius (instead of fixing cat radius and calculating cat weight). 🙂
- Comment on Scientific explanation 4 weeks ago:
Well anyway, that’s wrong too. Density makes a black hole, not just weight. And you’re on the wrong extreme of density.
- Comment on Scientific explanation 4 weeks ago:
(no one does … he doesn’t say if that’s a number of ounces or a number of metric tons …)
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 4 weeks ago:
On the smartphone App, I see a map of all the rooms, and while I sit on the couch, Wi-Fi allows me to watch the robot vacuum go through all the rooms. I suppose if it got stuck, I’d know where to find it. Not critically important, but kind of fun.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 4 weeks ago:
For a robot vacuum, wi-fi works best because you should be able to leave the phone in one room while the bot goes clean all the other ones. Bluetooth needs line of sight.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 4 weeks ago:
Some of these connect to a smartphone App through Wi-Fi.
- Comment on Great to see some actual progress over there 4 weeks ago:
This is the kind of ridiculousness we see from headlines about djt .

Better than rheumatoid stuff.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 4 weeks ago:
3D things have both a volume and an area. Like, how much wrapping paper you need to wrap a gift box.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 4 weeks ago:
Name a car without a processor. Year and model.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 4 weeks ago:
Cylinder side also non-planar, yet not a problem.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 4 weeks ago:
You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 4 weeks ago:
Hard to say if the integral can be solved analytically or not.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 4 weeks ago:
The CPU and screen are already in the car for other things. No cost there. And I don’t think you actually know how to make a nob.
- Comment on I'm fine with being stupid 4 weeks ago:
Volume is also nothing but polygons, where you get more accurate results the more slices you cut it into.
