Lazer guided seed bombs seems almost reasonable. And the impact creator tills the soil!

Oh, is it that time again? Time for warm tea, cozy blankets, and cowering from wolves in The Long Dark? This is the game that fully convinced me on the steam deck.

I love Cube! But don't forget about Cube 2: Hypercube, or the (admittedly weaker) prequel, Cube: Zero. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(film_series)

 

There's plenty of research around translating non-human communication into human language (https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/05/do-sperm-whale-calls-share-features-with-speech-or-song/), but what about translating human language into non-human speech? This is a fun little project from an interesting blog.

I used SimulaVR pretty regularly for a while! I've moved and don't have my VR headset set up anymore, but it was a good month of usage for programming, but the tech has probably developed since I last used it.

This comment is decrying it's parent, but it doesn't say anything to refute the points made. Energy use, intellectual property theft, and non-consensual porn seem like pretty decent things to be worried about.

You can play BAR on the steam deck!? That's awesome! But how are the controls? Playing without keyboard/mouse?

Iirc, №10 of the Federalist papers is specifically about how an overly strong federal government would lead to a 2 faction system, suggesting that the smaller states could more easily maintain multi-faction representative groups. But over the centuries, the federal government has become more proportionally powerful, which is a fact I'm sure all the non-monarchists would be horrified by.

My experience from an R1 university (research focused) is that most of the professors didn't primarily want to teach, but instead to focus on research, while teaching was what they did to make their salary. They were usually happy to teach a few courses, and especially upper level courses focused on their area of expertise, but the main goal was getting funding to pursue research, and that usually comes from (or is distributed through) some public institution.

Oh Trullius, my poor bard of oration, a rhetorical master of sophistry. He may never see the light of a campaign, and maybe that's for the best.

"There is something extraordinarily sleazy about using ratepayers' own money to lobby against their interests."

 

"It belonged to a small man with a beaming red face, one of those people blessed with the permanent expression of someone who has just heard a rather saucy joke.

“Only I grew this carrot,” he went on, “and I reckon it’s grown into a very interesting shape. Eh? What d’you think, eh? Talk about a giggle, eh? I took it down to the pub and everyone was killin’ ’emselves! They said I should put it in your paper!”

He held it aloft. It was a very interesting shape. And William went a very interesting shade." -The Truth, Terry Pratchett

 

I've seen this site posted around here before, but adding a direct link here. The knowledge base is interesting to read though, and reading the difficulties of a tech focused life with minimal resources.
