Love SDF. They run some great services for members, like a mastodon instance and pixelfed.

It's crazy that not only did the author get this wrong, but then pretends like the difference is still a niche thought experiment:

> Today, some child behavioral experts believe what we are sometimes seeing is not true gentle parenting but rather an anxious drift into “permissive parenting.”

A more accurate title: Anthropic stops aiding bioweapons research efforts, Russian hacking, Chinese AI misuse.

This serves as a pretty great case study in the disparity in manufacturing on and off shore. The phones specs are almost a decade out of date compared to global-sourced phones available today.

I suspect because clicking on a video that has a bait thumbnail, realizing it's garbage, and clicking away will now count as a view for it.

Anecdotally, back in college the rooms had CO2 monitors on the walls and I started to notice that professors who closed the doors and let the reader climb as high as 2400ppm were much more difficult to pay attention to than ones who left the room ventilated, with the reader staying 500-800ppm.

It is much more difficult than that. Starlink is essentially IT infrastructure, which certainly produces heat but nothing on the level of pure compute. Ejecting heat in space is a difficult problem that is currently solved on the ISS with large IR radiators which take up weight and space. The size, weight, power, cost tradeoffs lean heavily in favor of ground-based compute.

Also got the newsletter. Don't recall if I did or didn't sign up for it initially.

I recently bought a hybrid, and had been trying to wrap my brain around how it had an Atkinson engine in it. Was imagining a solenoid-driven crankshaft linkage or similar. Loved learning from this video that the secret is in valve timing and not fancy linkages.

But. The other points made felt muddled or even contradictory. I either didn't follow the TC guy's explanation closely enough, or the script could have used another pass.
