You might be, it wasn’t the best movie I’ve ever seen but it was a refreshing light-hearted and well executed vision from what was obviously a small team of passionate creators. A lot of stars were born in slapstick, it’s a staple of cinema even if it’s fallen out of style. You should check out some Charlie Chaplin, Marx Brothers and Three Stooges to maybe get a better sense of what they were trying to be like.
I just want to say I really appreciate this creator, asianometry covers lots of neat topics and does so really well imho
Interesting story, thanks for sharing!
I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It’s definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you’re frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.
Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.
I had the opportunity once to see Curiosity modeled in a VR environment as if you were standing on Mars next to it and I remember how very surprised I was at how big it was.
As a fun side note now that you’ve jogged my memory. That same demo also had a model of the Rosetta spacecraft orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. For whatever reason it was sized so that the asteroid comet was about the size of a cat and I will never forgot watching that itty bitty little satellite orbit around that odd shaped asteroid comet in front of me.

you answered my question before I could even ask, thanks for sharing!
Seriously, this was pretty cool, thanks for sharing!
I think it is measured and professionals who work in areas where this was relevant probably track this number among many others. I think the real question you are asking is why it is always framed as a % of GDP in public discussion and news reporting. Some people here point out how % of GDP can be more useful for comparing across countries with vastly different sized economies but I think we all know the real answer has more to do with how people perceive the value differently by using the larger number. Framing government debt as a % of GDP serves the zeitgeist, whatever that is.
I understand this reference and I approve o7
I am a little biased because I’ve been using Debian professionally for many years now but we don’t deserve Debian. It is fantastically stable and reliable and makes an excellent platform for running your services off of. If you are at all interested in offering some time and energy to the open source community, consider adopting a Debian package!
Wish that this somehow translated to the people in charge of the shitshow being replaced, but I’m pretty sure it’s the workers who will suffer instead. This failure is 1000% on an executive culture of “cut corners so line goes up”, not the thousands of people who actually build the darn things.
That’s some great perspective, thanks for the detailed reply!

I’ve been puzzled about the seemingly quiet reception Wolfram’s idea seem to receive from the serious scientific community. He doesn’t seem like a huxter and to my uneducated ears it sounds like a plausible set of ideas. Like other people are saying it’s all a bit over my head.
But like, no one talks about it. Is it just blase or not particular relevant even if true, or just less useful than he seems to think?
Good news is good news. You love to hear it.
What a coinkydink, just tried SP a couple nights ago, it’s alright. Got a little tropical taste to differentiate it from any other cheap lager.
Had me in the first half. I do use it (and love it) but I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question. Posting to try and help boost. Good luck
☹️ Mycroft ran out of money and closed down. I think you can still order a Mark2, but the cloud components they were hosting were taken down which essentially breaks the software. There is another company that picked up the ball and took over support but it’s a more limited experience at the moment and the whole ecosystem is in a bit of a rut. The OpenVoiceOS project that spun out of Mycroft looks like the best bet long-term but they haven’t finished a stable release yet. I bought a Mark2, which I still think is the best hardware available for an open source voice assistant, but finding and stitching together the software to make it work is a chore atm.
amazing
