I think you’re off by 2 bits (round up and don’t forget to always add 1 at the end), but regardless I think the comparison doesn’t work.

True that it would be comparable in size to a 0.8 KiB string but not necessarily in complexity. If his lookup table didn’t do it by character but by word or sound it could have a ton more information stored there.

Your comment stored as a string isn’t nearly maximally information dense, like you’ve made god’s info

Oh come on. Like a dozen old white dudes who have no morals are making a TON of money off of it

I have a newish TCL that runs android’s TV OS and I’ve never connected it to a network and it never has bothered me again about connecting. I am sure it’s recording our convos but it isn’t uploading them at least.

I did scramble a few settings like a BS static IP, a BS DNS, gateway, etc.

Denmark: virtually everyone speaks English, and it would be/is no problem to just speak English here

That’s awesome and wild.

Also, are you native Hawaiian? Else how is living on Oahu? We have dreamed of it in the past, sounds delightful in many ways!

It’s definitely the largest canyon, if I’m reading Wiki right. It’s over 4km long and 200 wide, compared to the Grand Canyon at 277km long and 29 wide

Man I love my Fairphone. I think it’s worth considering based on what I read of your ethics and tech proficiency

I think part of it as well is the concentration of wealth to the richest of the rich everywhere, and tech oligarchs doing technofascist things

I want to tell you about a little known website that’s like a neighborhood bookstore, Audible

I omega don’t give a fuck, so good call! It was definitely rhetorical.

I think worshipping a 250 year old document is weird as heck.

Wow! How many dimensions can there be? 3.5? Maybe 4.5?

Thank you for your content.

Same for us down south

Okay this one has always cracked me up.

The constitution people always love talking about the amendments like they’re gospel. But like, if the constitution was so great, why do you care about the changes to it? If we make a new amendment does it instantly become as sacred emotionally to them?

Tis normal in Denmark still

Inner join Van on Van

Lots of companies are still hiring engineers and can’t find enough of them, even in the US (and so many in the EU)

Totally agree with the rest of the sentiment

100% this

Hi! Former aluminum process engineer here. Caution– not a metallurgical engineer.

Really simplified version: if you recycle car body parts and cans and radiators and building metal, you can’t make car body parts again out of them without diluting impurities down with prime (new) aluminum. So to recycle it is amazing, better than most products (since it offsets a TON of energy, way more than the same workable unit of glass or steel or anything). But just recycling doesnt fix it, you need some prime. Most of the US prime comes by way of Ontario, China, or Australia. Since a lot of the aluminum production is on the East coast in general, Ontario sees the most of it.

Seems like a very effective way to impact the US in response to the ridiculous tariff/trade negotiation situation

If it restores any faith in humanity, they’re specifically designed to maximize addictiveness and minimize perceived harm.

I even understand (and condemn) those who work there for the fat paychecks

It’s fucking wild that seeing a car commercial is refreshing in that it’s just an actual product.
