Haha, wow the reactions to that, 3 levels deep and suddenly people are talking about screws. (Im being positive here btw, funny to see what people have made/learned and how happy they seem with it).

Too late, I already put it on the blockchain.

Yeah, just learned a black person was killed in the USA, and the only reason this was getting some attention was because Renee Good was also killed.

With the benefit of a sea of distance between me and the USA this is just really fucked up. Two different Americas.

Sorry forgot to check, despite a friend of mine doing the same to me with tumblr and I'm also annoyed then.

Not sure i had it in me to alt text all that yarvin however

Scott Alexander: "I wish the neoreactionaries dropped the monarchy shit"

Monkey paw curls (content warnings: antisemitism, Yarvin).

H2O2 is just water with an extra O.

Water 2.0, get on it or get left behind!

That is shit, also sending good vibes. It never is just one thing isnt it. Bad luck always seems to come in multiples.

Also I can’t help but notice that he didn’t verify the correctness of the solution

Think I have mentioned the story I heard here once, about the guy who wrote a program to find some large prime which he ran on the mainframe over the weekend, using up all the calculation budget his uni department had. And then they confronted him with the end result, and the number the program produced ended in a 2. (He had forgotten to code the -1 step).

This reminded me of that story. (At least in this case it actually produced a viable result (if costly), just with a minor error).

Yeah I was also ver specifically thinking about Christian heresies, and not counting all the other religious wars/conflicts/murders going round.

Do always think it is funny that the whole magical staves thing which people think is some old norse early medieval thing comes from the 17th century and is a bit more christian (even if it is a strange offshoot, esp with iceland being mostly converted to Christianity in the 1000s). But that is unrelated to everything above, more that history is big and what we assume is often not correct and from the wrong periods. As I did here myself. Edit: wonder if there is an overlap between the staves and the sigils from The Lesser Key of Solomon, both of the sources for these things seems to be written in the same period (the lesser key is based on earlier works from what I could tell the sigils itself are always credited to the lesser key, so no idea if they predate that, I don't have much access to grimoires from the 1500s).

Seems my edit and your reply crossed each other. No I agree, I was wrong in all the ways, thanks for the correction and information.

Ah thanks, I didnt know. Edited a bit more in btw. Sorry about that. Scattered mind with a lot of L'esprit de l'escalier energy.

E: A quick Wikipedia check: To provide more of that energy, 1200 in France, yeah I totally stand corrected. My bad people, thanks.

I wouldn't say having the fab is worthless, but more that saying you have build one and it actually producing as specced, at scale, and not producing rubbish is hard. From what I got talking to somebody who knew a little bit more than me who had had contact with ASML these fabs take ages to construct properly and that is also quite hard. Question will ve how far they are on all this, a tech demo can be quite far off from that. They have been at it for a while now however.

Wonder if the fight between Nexperia (e: called it nxp here furst by accident apologies) and China also means they are further along on this path or not. Or if it is relevant at all.
