This is a kind of bromeliad right? I’ve had some outside for several years in south Florida that are still “flowering” like that. at least one of them has stalked off a new plant

New drug: 60% survival rate with no disease progression.
Current-best drug: 8%
While technically it’s not “off the charts”, this is pretty damn impressive. I’ll allow the hyperbole.
Investors who don’t bother reading past the letters A and I in the prospectus.
How is Worldcoin still a thing?
Maybe true, but even at $3500 the Vision Pro would be about the cheapest thing in the operating theater anyway.
Wow. How do they fit so much smart into such a tiny space?
Mine’s more like an LLM - exposed to a vast quantity of technical terms that they don’t really understand, but can mash them together well enough to make coherent-sounding statements in JIRA
I honestly think the tiny fraction of MAU might be the reason. Something like once you exceed a Dunbar Number of contacts in a community it starts to go downhill.
The headline’s a bit misleading. The drive is a plasma thruster, and the company found that by adding Boronated water to the exhaust the plasma would fuse with some of the boron creating a kind of afterburner effect, not a sustained fusion reaction. It’s kind of interesting as a way to boost the performance of the plasma thruster, but not “OMG it’s a Fusion Drive!!!” interesting.

Really that whole song is a masterpiece.
ugh. sorry to say that took me a minute…
In UNIX-y systems ./
is your current local directory, so if I was in /usr/home/will
and I extracted your file I would expect any file that was like ./foo.txt
to be extracted to /usr/home/will/foo.txt
, and if there were files like ./testar/bar.txt
, they would be extracted to a new directory /usr/home/will/testar/bar.txt
– or is that not what you’re talking about?
Assuming it’s a regular porcelain bowl I’d try Barkeeper’s Friend next, it’s a mild abrasive made from something weird like rhubarb.
Used dryer sheets work well too. Wet, scrub, rinse. Takes off hard water stains and soap scum as well or better than vinegar in my experience.
Jimmy Wales (of Wikipedia fame) has been working on something like this for several years. Trust Cafe is supposed to gauge your trustworthiness based on other people who trust you, with a hand-picked team of top users monitoring the whole thing — sort of an enlightened dictatorship model. It’s still a tiny community and much of the tech has to be fleshed out more, but there are definitely people looking into this approach.
It was kind of a difficult read for me - things just hit a little too close to home for me, and the resolution was too perfect. I’d still recommend it though - at the end of the day it’s still Kim Stanley Robinson, and he is an absolute master of hard social-scifi.
Every time I read a story about some billionaire getting angry about their private jets being tracked I recall a part of the Kim Stanley Robinson novel Ministry for the Future, a (very) near-future tale about how a few global climate catastrophes wreak such havoc that regular people start taking extreme measures – for example randomly shooting down passenger aircraft for months, causing the collapse of the air travel industry. I have to imagine that the 1%ers are thinking about that too now.
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
