These sites are losing domain names left and right at the moment. The fucking copyright mafia is spending a lot of effort at the moment.

I don’t think you understand how evolution works. There is no evolutional pressure on humans to run long distances, jump far or high. And even if there suddenly were, it would take generations for noticeable changes. It’s much more likely that some parents let their kids be CRISPRd to create more red blood cells which would grant them an endurance boost or other such changes. That will probably happen in our lifetime.
Besides, your ostrich example is not helpful. A snow albatross is as tall as a small human and also has two. Maybe we will grow wings and fly!

We do know what human bodies are physically capable of. You can literally calculate that. With genetic outliers you can push this slightly, but not by a huge margin. There is a reason why so many records are still standing after 30-40 years. For a marathon, 2 hours is about the limit of human bodies. We reached that in 2023. Maybe someone can eke out a minute or two more, but without genetic manipulation or doping that’s it. The world records for long jump were set in 1988 for women and 1991 for men. The record for high jump was set in 1993. For these sports we have reached what human bodies are capable of. If they are ever broken, it will be by a few centimeters. No human will suddenly jump 10 meters.

We are very close to the limit of what human bodies can do without cheating. Genetic outliers who can slightly push these limits might exist, but they won’t suddenly jump 10m, rather narrowly crack the 30 year old record of 8.95m, for example. And someone might run a clean 2 hour marathon, but there won’t be anyone running it in 90 minutes. Until we do genetic manipulation or allow doping, the old records will stand or will only increase marginally.

I made the mistake to watch Interstellar with my brain switched on because people were hyping the super-accurate science so much. I left so angry because the movie is so fucking dumb. Sure, the black hole was fun. But the 5 seconds it’s on screen is not enough to carry the rest of the stupid as fuck plot.

She is apparently called Ultraviolet Darling, if you feel like le France is not that appealing.

Katherine Long sounds great. Her second attack, with fake board meeting notes is so dedicated.

Future? Futare? I don’t know how that works but I like the sound of that.

Same here. I have used everything on this list at least once.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 2 months ago:
I heard about people using multiple used 3090s in a single motherboard for this. Apparently it delivers a lot of bang for the buck, as compared to a single card with loads of VRAM.

It’s Walter Cronkite reporting on Kennedy’s assassination. I’m not American, but I’ve seen it often enough now to know this.

Challenger and Chernobyl, as they happened within a few months.The shape of the Challenger cloud will be forever seered into my brain. And after Chernobyl we had to seek cover immediately when it started to rain and weren’t allowed to play on grass, I’ll always remember that sense of unease. We also had two young kids from the Ukraine in our home for a while. Thinking back on that I feel so bad for them. They were so far from home and communication only worked through a paper dictionary. They didn’t shower for a while because they were told water was very expensive. Somehow their hovercraft was full of eels.
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 3 months ago:
I think the term is fine. Interaction is also too broad a term, as there are many ways to interact with something. The main intent here is to observe, interaction just follows from that.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 3 months ago:
My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don’t remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn’t care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.
- Comment on Yet another note taking recommendation needed 3 months ago:
Well, that sounds good. But my god is that a complicated mess. It’s not working for me and I don’t have the will to deal with that crap anymore. Set up my own CouchDB, ran the init script, connection test is fine. But I can’t get the plugin to actually sync anything, it just keeps failing with “Failed to initialise the encryption key, preventing replication”. Whatever that means. It won’t explain which encryption key or what failed. I did not enable E2E encryption.

Well, OK, you got me to give that a try!

Why videos? I feel like an old man yelling at clouds every time something that sounds interesting is presented in a fucking video. Videos are so damn awful. They take time, I need audio and I can’t copy&paste. Why have they become the default for things that should’ve been a blog post?

I’m not mentally ill enough for that. 😛
- Comment on Yet another note taking recommendation needed 3 months ago:
That solution doesn’t exactly spark joy. Folder sync in general is, in my experience, too error prone. So I just stay away from it. Maybe I’ll need to finally give it another try.
