  • Men with higher IQs are less conservative, study finds

    Jump

  • One of my key takeaways is that it may have some value in aggregate, like this study, but does not tell an individual how smart they are

  • Does anyone know of communities or other resources to share regional products (in the us)?

    Jump

  • Yeah, corn syrup doesn’t count. I never willingly use that.

    Buying real maple syrup by the gallon is not in groceries. You can get it that size but need to seek it out. I don’t use it enough to bother, plus then you need a separate pitcher and need to refill that all the time

  • Great idea - I’ll look for them.

    I’ll have to track down the link but I had a great one for Chicago - but it’s a damn expensive pizza to have delivered from there

  • Nice. I do remember liking those but totally forgot until you mentioned since I haven’t been down there in years

  • Fantastic. That’s a good one!

  • Always an excellent choice, except that I live in the northeast. I grew up where one of the things my grandfather’s farm produced was maple syrup! I’ve always been a huge fan

    But of course that’s the hard part: I didn’t even think of it. I’m not entirely aware of it being specific to this region: it’s just a part of Normal life. If someone turned my question back on me, I don’t know if I could answer

  • When do Americans actually do the taxes? On January 1? Or do y'all like procrastinate till April 15?

    Jump

  • The paperwork is supposed to be available by the end of January, so not usually before then.

    So yeah, I stated a couple hours ago and spent most of that time fighting secure logins for online services I use once a year

  • One of my co-workers pointed out them at you can save some time in some places but it puts a real premium on evaluation. Instead of putting your head down and coding, you get something spitting code at you and it’s your responsibility to evaluate whether it’s useful and correct. It can be much more stressful

  • They’re slowly getting more useful but nowhere near the hype.

    For coding at least, but probably everywhere, the real hype should be all the related infrastructure to make it work …. Unless it’s just my company, my experience being late to the party.

    Regardless of what the LLM can do, the actual result is always bottlenecked by context. How do you give it enough context, rules, awareness so it has a chance to do useful work? Rule sets and mcp servers and plugins, developing new buzzwords and then making up what it needs to be, like harness engineering. I’m seeing huge changes here and it really cuts back on the slop.

    As a confirmed cynic about ai, I’m getting excited about the challenge of building everything around it so it has a chance to work. Building out new tools and strategies for developers. Even just figuring out what it needs. I don’t know if the LLM will work and I don’t care but I’m excited about turning the hype into an honest try

  • Why don't spaceships rotate to cause artificial gravity?

    Jump

  • Key goals for both moon and mars missions is finding out how much gravity we need. We know we’re much healthier at 1G than in microgravity, but where is good enough? You can’t really draw a straight line to predict it. Does the moon have enough gravity for people to stay healthy long term? Does mars? Where should we set the rotation of a space station with artificial gravity?

  • For Artemis the laser data link back to earth was supposedly disrupted by people moving around in the capsule- that’s how directional it is

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • Most importantly we tested all new everything and it worked!

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • I also don’t see how “colony” happens, but I do see “base” on mars as both something we could afford and something worth doing.

    Making it feasible mostly depends on the boring innovations of figuring out how to use local resources.

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • Nothing on that flight was from SpaceX

    Future ones will be, future money will be largely SpaceX, because if they get starship to work it promises to be much much cheaper than anything else

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • Well Apollo was at the height of the Cold War and Vietnam’s. It was much more politically motivated.

    I do have to admit to being ambivalent about trying to call this a race with China. That’s pretty bogus. However if it gets us moving I’m ok with it

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • This is why the moon is critical. Going to mars or wherever will be insanely expensive compared to the little moon trip. To make it at all affordable, you don’t just need one of the new reusable launch vehicles but you need to use local resources as much as possible. Let’s prove our ice mining and habitat construction

    Consider spending tens of billions of dollars just sending water to mars, and hope you don’t screw up the schedule when an “emergency” resupply is nine months. Same for air. And food. So much more for fuel. No one is going to spend that. But if you can use local resources for fuel, water, air, radiation shielding, and grow at least some of your own food, you’re more resilient and much much cheaper.

    The mining isn’t likely to be useful for sending anything back to earth - way too expensive. Space mining is all about making space affordable, and we’re talking about really fundamental things to mine.

  • Let me know when the first colony is formed, then I can get excited.

    You don’t just jump right to the final goal, there are many steps to get there. This was one of them

  • Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?

    Jump

  • They’re testing entirely new everything. Just because it’s the same shape as Apollo doesn’t mean there’s anything in common

    Are you not excited by the high resolution pictures sent while they were still out there ? Apollo would have brought back film to be developed on earth?
