Did you know there is a toaster from the 50’s which is totally mechanically automatic? It slowly lowers and raises the bread automatically, controls the darkening of the bread by measuring the slice’s temperature, and it is all powered by the thermal expansion of the heating coils themselves.

3·2 months agoI would say it is very similar to what you said. Different accent and some different meanings of more colloquial words. There are some common European Portuguese slangs that have sexual meaning in Brazilian Portuguese, so some Portuguese ads have gone viral in Brazil.

I saw this comment a while ago, and I still stand by it: If vibe coding works, where are all the “million dollar idea” apps?
To quote a well known microblog meme:
No b*tch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.
Not all wheelchairs need pedals, like not all apps need AI.
I think the comparison still stands. It’s a narrow use case.
Worst is, some people STILL didn’t get the hint. One person struck said “If I had died it would not be a problem, the cause is just”.
I see a smiling blob monster. People have been online too much.

24·4 months agoWasn’t the plan to use the neutrons generated by D-T fusion to generate more tritium because it is very rare on Earth? Didn’t they even not have enough neutrons to generate enough tritium for self sustaining fueling of fusion that the current plan is to use a beryllium blanket to multiply the neutron flux? Where would the extra neutrons for gold transmutation even come from? Waste from the tritium breeding?

12·5 months agoFun fact, the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court has a TV and YouTube channel where they show the judgements and court sessions live. Meanwhile, the USA’s court bans cameras from the building even in off hours.
I don’t know where in the spectrum the Indian Supreme Court who ruled this in the news stands.
