  • China's new iron battery hits 99.4 percent efficiency over 6000 cycles

    Jump

  • First published: 01 April 2026

    Now, is that cause for worry or am I silly?

  • Wild Trump Rants Edited Out of 60 Minutes Interview After Shooting

    Jump

  • He thinks we should be grateful that his ballroom plan wasn't a hotel.

    And this has bulletproof glass. This has you know, this is the highest level of security. Also, very importantly, I could have built suites on top. I could have done a lot of things. I said, no, no, we have this has to be pure. This has to be where people stay off property and they go through one very impactful, very strong entrance, one very powerful entrance. There’s no games with this.

    And he refers to the ballroom that isn't there in the past tense, already done.

  • US will issue commemorative passports with Trump’s picture for America's 250th birthday

    Jump

  • What if he acquires a bespoke little toothbrush mustache and a forehead tattoo that says "pedo" all done in ink suspiciously similar to what's in my favorite pen?

  • "The stages of enshittification"

    Jump

  • We could say that "hate" isn't a complete accounting of the feelings in a complex situation, maybe.

  • Good luck trying to emulate a dumbass, dumbass.

    Jump

  • If the AI measures it wrong just the once, that is genuinely more efficient.

  • Trump Judge Says Some Women Are Just a “Warm, Wet Hole”

    Jump

  • This headline suggested to me that the judge said this in her new capacity as a judge. That's not the case, this is a statement she made in a different context years ago.

    Which doesn't make it normal or cool.

  • Anyone else use RSS?

    Jump

  • I've been paying for the cheapest tier of The Old Reader for years. I think its $25 per year. It's a lot like Google Reader. The basic web interface works fine for me in mobile browsers, like in Firefox on my phone. Which keeps things really simple.

  • Comet R3 PanSTARRS Behind Satellite Trails

    Jump

  • Speculation:

    One way of doing astro time-lapses with digital cameras is to combine many short-ish exposures in post. Fast-moving objects (when I tried this, ships and planes) can show up as segmented trails, because they move significantly during the brief interval between exposures.

  • GOP Senator Calls for Nuking Filibuster to Fund DHS After Attempted Trump Killing

    Jump

  • The National Guard never stopped patrolling the streets of Washington DC. The DC police has been placed under federal control. The president himself has called Washington DC "perhaps the safest" city in the United States.

    If there's a "moment of national danger" happening under those circumstances, maybe it's not resources that are the problem. Maybe leadership is the problem.

  • Trump Erupts in ‘60 Minutes’ Interview: ‘I’m Not a Pedophile’

    Jump

  • "You news people are monsters! For thinking I might talk about the news, here on the news talk show."

  • After Security Scare, Trump Demands Approval for His White House Ballroom

    Jump

  • There should be a headline like "Journalists Endangered by Presidential Visit"

  • Peak of technology which was going to replace all of us

    Jump

  • LLMs are going to evolve into a position where being wrong sometimes and hallucinating sometimes won't matter, because organizations are already built to deal with it: managers.

  • Belgian race car driver Camille Jenatzy with his record-breaking electric car, La Jamais Contente, which exceeded 100 kph, 1899

    Jump

  • Pretty wild to make that streamliner body and then stick the driver out in the breeze like an afterthought.

  • Microsoft drops Copilot branding in Notepad for Windows 11 for everyone, but it’s really just a rename

    Jump

  • Are you aware of the "Multiple Clipboard" feature? Which is a deceptively simple productivity boost, a game-changer, a hidden gem in a sea of dark Windows patterns?

  • AI is making it very easy for the government to spy on you. Some lawmakers are worried.

    Jump

  • I imagine that "lawmakers" are going to find themselves more scrutinized, more surveilled than anyone else, because extorting them for information, favors, bribes and so forth will be much, much more lucrative than trying the same thing with nobodies like you and me.

    This is an informal way of transferring state power from the people to "the cops," in the broadest sense of that term. It's the logic of the Mafia: If you have something on everyone, you have more opportunities to act through unwilling intermediaries.

  • "There was an arrogant assumption that players of shooters didn't want and wouldn't care about a story; we just didn't believe this": Go behind the scenes of Half-Life with legendary Valve designer Ma

    Jump

  • Half-Life and Half-Life 2 together created an almost embarrassing number of indelible moments.

    I've just finished playing one of the newer Wolfenstein games, and while it was enjoyable enough in the moment and very capably-done, it had occurred to me that none of it was memorable the way so much of Half-Life was memorable.

    Half-Life 2 somehow cranked that "memorability quotient" up to 11. "Do NOT go through Rav--- "

  • Trump says 'shooter apprehended' after president rushed from White House Correspondents' Dinner

    Jump

  • Work on the bunker part got the green light, though.

    On Thursday, the judge ruled that the Administration has to stop all aboveground work on the construction project until it receives Congressional approval. But his order permits the White House to continue construction underground, including on the military complex.

  • Trump says 'shooter apprehended' after president rushed from White House Correspondents' Dinner

    Jump

  • The shooting tonight at the Washington Hilton demonstrates the need to have a White House ballroom, President Trump tells reporters in the press briefing room.

    So he's taking this opportunity to whine about his ballroom. As one does. Perfectly normal. "An awful lot of Americans seem to want me dead, that's why I need a party fortress!"

    The WHCD is a private event, no affiliation with the government. It presumably would never happen at a White House ballroom.

  • Frank Sinatra playing with his dog, Ringo. California, USA, 1965

    Jump

  • Pre-recorded reel-to-reel tapes (and 8mm movies) were packaged in thin cardboard boxes like those. My grandfather had a few.

    Maybe you were joking. Sorry.

    Edit: In fact if you search Ebay for "reel to reel album" there are tons of listings with pictures.
