I remember the thing that absolutely finally blew me away initially was his description of how he used an active water cooling system to cool down his scalp (layered rubber swimcap with water pumped through iirc) AND how he then wrung some wattage …

I'll stay well away from the attempts of any analysis of the colours of the viewers, but I wholeheartedly agree that at least World Press Photo has been a "catastrophe porn" show for many years now, and that's why I have stopped to pay any …

Think adversarial applications vs the face-id methods and the like, too :)

> One of the staff later wanted to pay five hundred dollars for a homeopathic remedy that would cure the cancer of their family member on hospice. There's a quite fascinating book by Benedict Spinoza, A Theologico-Political Treatise. It was first …

I think it looks awesome, and I would have bought it right off the bat IF I had any hopes of getting my video processing pipeline working. So far, all video footage I got just keeps collecting dust on whichever storage devices that were …

> couldn't find a view that looked like yours It's likely because it's taken from a 50th (top) floor of a relatively new highrise just next to the iconic Azrieli towers (left)

That's downtown Tel-Aviv :)

Absolutely. I have no illusions about how "easy" it is to maintain an email server on my own - because I did. I have a couple email addresses that exist since 1991 and have been exposed in public Usenet FAQs and the like - each of those receives up …

I'm not sure if cityscapes qualify, but not getting anything else great until I fix my drone's gimbal :) This is a view from my office window half an hour or so ago.

Nothing in the "locker" paradigm prevents freemium models (ad-backed or otherwise), or Creative Commons-like approaches. The lynchpin is the inversion of the current model where an average user is basically a kind of sucker equipped with an …

I understand your sentiment and agree to it to a degree. However, as someone who had to learn a foreign language or two, in varying circumstances, I know that a perfectionist approach which manifests as "I won't start talking in that language …

I'm not quite sure we align on the central point of the vision. It revolves around the idea that there are no more "platforms" external to the user. Instead, you own your "data locker", it is yours and yours alone (this is pretty theoretical and of …

Within the given constraints, it would be Whatsapp and Telegram. FB Messenger Lite as a backup.

I will defer to David Siegel's excellent explanatory video as that's where I learned about the concept as formulated (there is a wealth of thinking about this starting from Engelbart's et al work in the mid-20th century, but this is more …

As a tiny reference, something scraped at me in the text and I tried to find what it was, it was a line saying baby boomers don't want to talk to computers. Here's a little something to counter that …

This is not a new problem, and it's more of a social and organisational one, not a technological one. For starters, it's just inertia, people in general do not like change and especially so when they have invested some time and energy into making …

It's just the top of the line. Lyndon does the bikes for himself and flings them around really, really hard. The quality and costs of the builds reflect that simple reality. There are other rally-prep shops around (I'm sure there are hundreds) …

If you want to splurge in this direction, you can't get any better than, effectively, a fully custom and improved version of this KTM - https://lyndonposkittracing.com/home/adventure-and-rally-bikes But it'll cost you.

I'm tempted by this - https://ridecake.com/shop/bikes/kalk/ But probably going to wait a couple years for the price to (hopefully) subside.

If you have the gear for winter riding, it's pretty awesome. I don't know the specifics of the road laws in your location, but I know that in Finland and most of Scandinavia (and apparently in Canada) it's fully legal in winter months. Check out …

> Some of the perfect examples Sjaak is a force of nature! I met him at MotoCamp Bulgaria several times and also at Overland and it is fascinating to follow his preparation for the Yamaha R1-based trip to the North Pole (continues as planned, most …

FWIW, I enjoyed the overview, but the [slightly unpleasant] residual feeling was that his point of view wasn't so much about "what we can do in the next 20 years", but about "this is how we will transmogrify and amplify consumerism culture for the …

Here's the completely unsuitable BMW and me with the Barents sea as the background :) (if anyone remembers old movie Convoy with Kris Kristofferson, check out the little duckie on the front fender, I 3d-printed it from black ABS and glued it …

My first "real" motorcycle was a BMW F650ST, a street-version precursor of the F650GS, with the same Rotax single-cylinder engine, but carbureted, with a unibody dual carburetor. It was made in 1996 and I bought it in 2011 from a friend whose wife …

I don't think there will ever be a stock bike like the one you want, sorry. There is simply too much variables, and it is impossible to cater to everyone's whim. I wholeheartedly agree that there is a certain set of common basic things that …
