I would go with two approaches. One in-cloud backup, maybe the same provider (to save traffic, but under different account). Second low-tech offline onsite backup. You do not even need large server to plug all hdds at…
> The chief hurdle in constructing a Death Star is not the energy, materials, or even knowledge needed. Any proof for that? Death Star is big as a Moon, it has energy of several millions of Suns (it can blow up entire…
How much time you spend reading the news? It this point, I would probably invest some time into automating it even more. Download all articles, and save them into PDF. Create full text search over them. Use LLM for…
Run your own blog, on your own domain with github. It takes like 2 hours to setup and costs $20/year. Lately, it really feels like the whole "social media" decade was a dead end.
I have EV (electric bike). I would also like to buy small electric car for driving around city. I hate 2 ton luxury monsters that require 100 000 watts for charging.
Chinese EVs are not allowed in Europe for safety reasons. Audi, Jaguar, GM, Kia... had recalls due to battery fire risks. It is just my observation, but I think Tesla is like 5 years ahead when it comes to battery…
Alibaba has all sorts of wire twisting machines, tools and pliers...
I hate EVs with passion, but Tesla is the only EV manufacturer without major quality issues (it randomly explodes far less often).
I remember my source was from book, not article. Also I remember it was grouped with rant about female journalist, who was much better candidate (amateur pilot I think), but her boss went instead. Flight was around…
> The experiment doesn’t really prove that spiders can’t count There is very easy to prove spiders can count. They can tell bigger object from smaller, so they have some concept of measure and comparison. They can tell…
It was in a book by Karel Pacner, he studied Russian archives after they were declassified. Not sure what book.
Mental issues are not uncommon. First japanese astronaut on Mir (Russian commercial passenger on Mir) had mental break down, and had to be restrained on the way back. It was in some Russian archives... Skylab and Sojuz…
Dolphin isa a bit useless for serious operations. It uses KIO for file operations (copy, move...), that invokes separate API call for every file, and is very slow and unreliable for large number of files. Other file…
Take bullet point, and move it to new page. Or extract all mentions of tag into single page. There are some basic hotkeys and commands. Refactoring is perhaps strong word, more like mouse dragging and copy&paste. It…
I have text notes that go back to 1997, PDF annotation notes back to 2003. I use PDF annotations for books, articles and webpages (save to PDF). About 70 gigabytes of annotated PDFs at this point. I need to be…
Logseq is journaling app with graphs. Notes are not organized in folders, but tags. I find journaling much better. I never procrastinate deciding into what category/folder/doc notes should fit. I just put everything…
> which can be used with absolutely anything Not really, markdown has tons of tiny implementation details. And I can not use PDF annotation plugin in Emacs...
I prefer Logseq. It does not need plugins for basic things (PDF annotations). And is completely opensource with transparent development on Github. And I find its workflow much better. Obsidian is commercial closed…
"Comparable" human benchmarks may be a bit misleading. Waymo drives far safer and less assertive, on turns it does not push itself into traffic and waits longer... It is still pretty impressive, but we should compare…
