for those in my feed for the #mechanicalkeyboard content, my latest fave: split key corne that fits in my pockets.

ordered last two pcbs/cases from aliexpress the day the China tariff fell... cause who knows when Chinese imports will be cut off again.

This is what gpt thinks.

Xkcd makes a compelling case for F.

Also the history of how F was designed around human body temperature highlights it's usefulness.

Um not sure why you are using different data sources for the US when the US is part of the oecd. Oecd data for the US shows us has lower out of pocket consumption than the EU by quite a bit. It is distributed unevenly though.

Randomly I was hired by the US Marine corps as a trust consultant (I guess writing a book about trust makes you an expert). They are worried about declining trust too. And trust in the military does decline after notable failures. But you're right it's relatively high.

I saw this shirt being advertised everywhere for a while. Our 9 year old had a brief window a year or two ago where he called my wife bruh but bruh seems passe now.

Almost as if there are different micro motives for macro behavior...🤔

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

That cancelled TV show youll never stop thinking of.

In an era when all tv drama was either doctor or lawyers or cop shows these tried and failed to defy that trend and died after a few episodes. Funny enough i-banking and embassy shows doing great today. No airport shows though.

My office keyboard is a Preonic ortholinear and has been since 2018. (just swapped out the keycaps and switches last month and that's made me happy) My random home keyboards are usually 40% orthos. My traveling coffee shop keebs rotate, but are ortho more often than not...

This site is lacking in #mechanicalkeyboard content. Posting my collection here. Answering a million emails as a new dept chair much more pleasant on a nice keyboard.

News of Elon Musk's appointment to the new "Department of Government Efficiency" reminded me of this xkcd.

We do already have the OMB and the GAO with the same task.

I'm also amused by the Paperwork Reduction Act that seems to increase the paper use on every form I see.

Still hopeful 🤞 it helps!

I agree that nuclear is safe, just very expensive. (2x to 3x other forms of electricity). Solar is cheapest.

My example of fast scaling is the iPhone. It took 10 years for smartphones to reach most of the world.

Solar/wind already ~half of power in CA and TX.
Globally doubling every few years.

I agree that the future is solar, not nuclear.

But reject that solar was inevitable and nuclear only failed due to regulations.

Corn ethanol was deployed at scale, but costs did not go down

Nuclear was also deployed at scale (e.g. most of France but also US)

I needed a DAG connecting spicy food eating to mortality for a book I’m working on. GPT4 made this in tikz for me pretty much on its own:

Also interesting to get gpt to think about causality.
