I wish the whole episode was this bright Instead it's closer to

I enjoyed the episode, but agree with the general consensus here. There are so many more interesting and clever ways it could have gone and too many scenes were too dark to be enjoyable. I do think if there is anything that could motivate GRRM to finish the books it was this episode and...

Any strategy against the night king's army relies on a fundamental limitation to his mana reserves, which makes no sense in the context of the show. But if it did, the correct move would be to constantly harass the army of the undead as they marched south, cutting apart their troops and making...

Maybe. I'm sure they test impact-response still even if they don't do it with a human in the loop.

Man I'd love to get a hold of one of these. It'd be perfect for some of the things I'm trying to do.

That's a big part my job/career.

Yes, I haven't gotten one and vetted it.

It's something I have my eye on but I haven't gotten one yet.

I agree to some extent. I want to see some shit. And it's not like they can't just say the ancestor is crazy and thought he was fighting aliens/demons/monsters/whatever, or that the Old Gods had monsters anyway. I'd love to have a hyper-fantasy treatment of ancient Indian religion, fighting...

Could be. I might try it on a different hard drive.

‘Anyone relying on lidar is doomed,’ Elon Musk says – TechCrunch *laughs in 128 layers* Lidar tech is blowing up, some of the solid state stuff on the horizon is going to be yuge, but the current tech offers sensing that fits very nicely in the gaps between ultrasonics, radar and optical...

Interesting thread on the DC-Baltimore Boring loop. Obviously a two lane highway sunken into the ground that services 2k cars a day doesn't make that much economic sense, but it'll be a great proof of concept that could scale up in the future if it goes through.

Read the first few chapters and did some of the exercises in the book. Did a run last night following some of the advice in the book that specifically talks about running form, standing tall, engaging glutes/hips etc and had a much improved running experience. It's funny because there's nothing...

Just preordered five copies that I might re-sale if they run out of pre-ordered copies. jk based entirely on that trailer they're going the QTE-heavy jedi-light route and not the puzzle-shooter-holy-shit-i-feel-like-an-actual jedi Jedi Knight route. Even the story element seemed lame. You...

This feels totally possible.

A few months old but I had never seen it. I'm really surprised the speed at which the fairing descends is so low and the speed parallel to the ground is so high. I wonder if the job of captaining that ship is the most fun sea-captaining job of all time. You're basically pulling off a Jack...

Oh and after looking through running books I bought this one: Runner's World Your Best Stride: How to Optimize Your Natural Running Form to Run Easier, Farther, and Faster--With Fewer Injuries I looked into Running Revolution but felt that a more fundamental book vs one that teaches a...

As an update I did the above stuff I said was doing this week and my "runners knee" symptoms have almost entirely cleared. I also developed an increasing level of lower back pain just above the hip. I've been ignoring it until this morning where I did some research and think it's related to...

Ill get you one day

SLS is never going to do anything useful because it's going to get delayed until it is shit canned. I think i have an avatar bet with someone saying so. Maybe @LachiusTZ ? I agree with your point about it being the kind of egregious fuckery that will motivate congress to stop treating nasa as...

@khorum on suicide watch

https://arstechnica.com/science/2019/04/spacex-likely-to-win-nasas-crew-competition-by-months-for-billions-less/ I'd love to see Trump try to capitalize on SpaceX and push for many billions of USD to get a man on Mars before the end of his second term.

Nuke the SLS. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-awards-launch-services-contract-for-asteroid-redirect-test-mission/

What's annoying is that as far as I can tell there's not much information about what she's done. But I haven't really looked into it. I couldn't find any publications that she's the primary author in and yeah, her commits to the codebase have been miniscule. It really does look like a case of...

I cant wait to be disappointed by this game

The Beresheet moon lander took this right before impact: Interesting that they're talking about it being the IMU's fault. IMUs are generally very reliable and proven unlike most tech on space stuff.

is this just edgelord or is that true?

I don't know about playable, but it seems like in February 2019 they added the persistent universe, which to me was the minimum threshold to have a "playable game". I've always thought that when they added a basic game that allowed you to play the game, earn wealth and spend that wealth on...

Because you can get a better look at the tits of the stripper on the stage than you can at the date wearing a sweater who is wondering why you brought her to a strip club.

Anything but instantaneous measurement of visible light on light sensitive silver hallide crystals isn't really a picture. Everything above that, including the ccd/cmos/whatever in your phone, does something not fundamentally different from what these nerds did.

I still think they're a bunch of overpaid nerds who pointed a telescope at nature's butthole and then tweaked the data until it looked like a fuzzy version of what everyone assumed it would.

I know it's draconian of me but when I see the effort that went into taking a picture of nature's butthole I can't help but wonder what benefit that provides besides sating our curiosity.
