@uwunetes Do you want a phone, or do you want a touchscreen pocket computer that also can make calls?

i yearn for a phone that is - not iphone - not google pixel - not samsung - good camera quality - isnt slow as shit - (optional) rootable

@asimovinc You're missing the 0th Law. Real question: why?

The Three Laws of Robotics are the foundation. We're building on top of them. Safety is too important to be decided by a few people. Look at what tech companies did. They decided what was safe. They told everyone else. Users, governments, whole societies. We've all watched tech leaders impose their worldviews as universal truths. It's a messiah complex dressed up as regulation, backed by power. We don't want to dictate our safety definitions. We're building Asimov in public, and the safety framework should be defined by all of us. We're creating a public forum with the community.

@stjk2513 @justinskycak "The process IS the shortcut."

@justinskycak I really want to catch up but starting from the lower fundamentals like fractions and basic geometry feels so tedious

People don't hate math; they hate the feeling of being lost. They hate the compounded debt of unlearned prerequisites.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @CollingsMaccrae

@CollingsMaccrae The more dogmatic the writing advice, the less seriously I recommend taking it. Why? Because every successful writer eventually figures out one important thing: No one can tell you how to write. He can only tell you how he writes.

Listen. I’ve said it before, but here goes. Virtually all good writers use Ai as a tool. It’s in your auto editors such as Grammarly, PWA, AutoCrit. If you’re not using some tools, I’d say you’re working hard and not smart. I know some writers have blocked me for saying it: C’est la vie. You do you. However, this #ShyGirl kerfuffle is not the same. I have lots of questions. Lots.

@blind_via Also, it's freaking gorgeous.

This proto PCB is sick, it has edge fingers built into it. That is so cool

@BradRTorgersen Groups that size are testing your accuracy with the ergonomics of a particular gun, not the relative accuracy of the guns themselves.

Interesting results from this morning's "bowling alley" visit. Two mags to each paper, quick-fire. I did this twice, shooting Glock before Sig, then Sig before Glock. With the same results. The P320 was the more accurate (for me) of the two. I did not expect this.

@Shivam_Mahale_ @arpit_bhayani Postgres has PL/pgSQL, which is really similar to PL/SQL. I've written a lot of both.

@arpit_bhayani Hey Arpit, you always dive deep into MySQL/Postgres, but what about Oracle ecosystem ? ​Coming from Oracle background, PL/SQL + Exadata is honestly on another level. Smart scans & having a full backend in the DB is a huge edge. Is it just the license wall, what's your take?

Canva had to migrate millions of media asset metadata records from MySQL to DynamoDB without dual writes or reading the binlog. What they did was super lazy and interesting... Instead of deciding upfront which records to migrate and when, they let production traffic decide. Every time a media asset was created, updated, or even just read, a message containing only the asset ID was dropped into an SQS queue. A worker then picked it up, fetched the latest state from MySQL, and synced it to DynamoDB. Thus, no dual writes and no binlog parsing. During this phase, MySQL remained the source of truth, and DynamoDB was just a derived copy. What's interesting here is that the hottest data gets migrated first. Cold historical data gets queued in the background at a lower priority via a full backfill scan. This means MySQL starts shedding real load almost immediately, not at the end of the migration. Now that the data resides in two places, they performed sequential reads (Dynamo-first) in production, with fallback to MySQL. In shadow, they compared results against MySQL to ensure consistency and catch bugs in the migration logic. Once the data was fully migrated and validated, they switched writes to DynamoDB. After this cutover, DynamoDB became the source of truth, and MySQL was eventually retired. The lazy replicated write approach is interesting and efficient when it comes to migrating a read-heavy system from one database to another. Hope this helps.

@cdrsalamander Somewhat archaic, but umlauts are used in English to indicate that consecutive vowels should be pronounced separately, like in coördinated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaeresis…

There are no umlauts in English. The nation that occupies Byzantium and its capital Constantinople is called, “Turkey.” Once you start spelling Munich, München, and Cologne Köln, then we can discuss otherwise.

@lowmegatron The cooked part of cooked bamboo shoots is important because they're toxic raw.

“There are some very safe fibers that come from plants that have their own defenses against bacteria and fungi. Raw carrots, for example, if you’ve noticed that many vegetables will spoil in the refrigerator, while carrots still seem to be completely clean and unattacked by bacteria or molds. That’s because there are chemicals that are defensive for those plants. When we eat them, they remain like antibiotics all the way through our intestines, so they are very hard for bacteria to grow on. It can also bind some of the toxins produced by bacteria so that rather than increasing the amount produced, it can actually bind it and carry it out, subtracting toxins. It’s almost like the activated charcoal that’s used for detoxifying ingested chemicals. Carrots are a natural way of doing that.” — Ray Peat Other similar foods are cooked bamboo shoots and well-cooked common mushrooms–agaricus bisporus.

@MajToure Ability, opportunity, jeopardy, preclusion. Only two are in that situation.

Someone SAYS they’re going to kill you and wishes death on you repeatedly. They say this publicly FOR YEARS. You go to where they are and kill them… Is it justified?

@blind_via Yes, and, ratios matter. And regardless of what's inside, what any given person chooses to take from inside and act on outside, matters. Human moralities are not fungible.

People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.

One chip only, Vasily

@aryanlabde Vibe coding is by definition not looking at the code. It doesn't matter if you could understand it if you looked at it, because you're not.

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@SamuelBeek Great emergent aesthetics != art

PCBs are art, full stop

@HitRateLab @bluewmist Reread what you just wrote. Seriously.

@ShamashAran @woodyspigroasts This can work, but it really has to be the right $500 amp. Copper got so expensive that nobody uses real transformers anymore. Most switching power supplies in use now don't have the juice to keep up with big bass transients and I wish I couldn't hear it so easily.

@woodyspigroasts in my opinion, speakers are the number one thing you should spend as much money as you can afford, on. With modern gear, you don't need to spend more than $500 on an amp to get really good sound.

80% of the stuff people spend this money on make little to know difference in quality of sound, its the audio equivalent of Himalayan salt lamps.

@dwazagul @ShamashAran Gold contacts are less stupid than they seem at first, but /only/ because they don't corrode.

@ShamashAran And gold HDMI plugs.

@TheChrisPTighe @emilyofeasttx Based

@emilyofeasttx Yeah…..and?

men will smoke a huge slab of meat and be like “ok dinner is ready!” and it’s just the meat. No sides, nothing to drink, just here is my meat.

@wooknponub Nah. Your competition is yourself, and you're winning. Absolute W.

@ControGorilla @jackfriks @Duderichy The gold standard, but that costs a hell of a lot more than $1k
