  • Possible solution to the Von Neumann bottleneck? Or does this address a different issue

  • Shit, that went way over my head, here I was thinking Vance's friends had really weird views around physical books and websites.

  • "Books are really just zipped HTML" what the fuck is he talking about

  • I've been getting very close to ditching YouTube. This change showed up a few weeks ago for me and pushed me a bit further.

    If they succeed in inserting ads into the video stream I'll bail alltogether. I can fit a subscription to Brilliant, Dropout, and several creator Patreons into the cost of a YouTube Red subscription, and I won't have to deal with these attention-optimizing UI changes.

  • One of the sillier reasons I still purchase vinyls is that it feels like I'm getting a cool poster along with the music

  • We are all part of an utterly awesome experience called life. Every single thing you do, from the people you choose to love and hurt, to the words you speak and write, to the place your body falls at the end of it all, influences the world and the people around you.

    You are not insignificant. You are fantastical. You are a peice of an unimaginably complex system that began hundreds of millions of years ago when the first cell came into existence - manifesting, like a flame from the darkness. Your life is the very beat of the heart that propels the human experience into worlds unknown, hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds, in a universe where our existence was not luck, not chance, but INEVITABLE.

    Do you not look upon yourself and experience awe? Do you not look at the stars and know that the universe belongs to you, always has, and always will? Know this. You are beautiful. Know this, and go forth, and THRIVE.

    Also it's mostly to spite St. Louis

  • I'm curious how that policy came about

  • Not sure, I just assumed it had to do with being 27

  • Sneks

    Jump
  • I love snakes

  • Welcome to the 27 club

  • Yet another reason I fully believe children should be banned from the open internet

  • I'd imagine the effect was exasperated due to the pressure your feet are under when walking, whereas in a bath the weight is distributed and you're mostly buoyant. Its probably fine.

  • This is a nice thread. I don't have any big achievements recently but I'm doing alright. Hope you are too.

  • That sounds rather stressful
