I read somewhere that as the FCC grants approval for Starlink, their actions could drag the US into a matter of interfering with another nation’s sovereignty.
Given their reliance on US launch contracts - could be a reason to back down? They were certainly happy to block stuff for India.
I started using #nixos a few months ago to manage different development environments on my #wsl #debian machine for uni work. #rstats, #python and #zig. Each assignment or project, which I version control, has its own shell.nix file. This makes it trivial to get started again with all the needed dependencies, and to answer colleagues' "what do I need to install again?" questions.
The official documentation for this use case is good, but this video also helps: youtu.be/0YBWhSNTgV8?si=QhKmV5…

Fascinating.
This is wild. Every so often I make the mistake of checking out my X feed, and I did so today and clicked into a Tweet curious to see the replies.
What I saw surprised me in how blatant it was.
The same exact sponsored Ad from Senate Republicans showed up *11 TIMES* in the reply feed.
US, EU, UK, and others sign legally enforceable AI treaty
The global treaty lays out a set of principles that signatories commit to enforcing.

A reporter just sent me a link to this: ycombinator.com/launches/LmD-l…
He wants to interview me about some fucking start-up company's planned 16 km^2 solar panels and fucking *AI data centers in orbit*
I think maybe I'll just walk into the middle of my hayfield and scream for a while instead. Anyone want to join? Screaming begins in 5... 4... 3...

How hot
And for how long
And till when
Does it have to be
For the radio weather people to stop
Being jolly about another hot day with no rain?
How many hot sunny weekends do the listeners need? I might be old, fat and grumpy but I've had enough until next summer at least.
It's about f'in time the big publications pressed Mr. Trump on his statements this past week that supporters just needed to vote for him one more time, and then "you don't have to vote again." Trump's response -- which is that if he's elected "the country will be fixed" and their votes won't be needed -- seems pretty unambiguous. It is absolutely unreal that this is the GOP candidate for president, and that this blatantly antidemocratic statement alone does not somehow disqualify him from running.
