*hits bong*

i'm fine

"terf is a slur" is as valid as "nazi is a slur". both describe awful political positions, if someone says it's a slur they are definitely part of the problem. no need to hesitate whether or not you should punch them as well.

forgot the coil was basically a big spring so a solder joint broke (i have no thick 1m copper wire so that's 4 smaller wires) but i fixed it

for the ground plane, first i glued two cardboard discs to get something rigid enough and i'll probably just wrap aluminium foil around it

i love making sophisticated things with trash

*bending a thick copper coil* ok no

the tube fits as a drill bit which makes it easy to sand the end

good tool

cutting copper tubes with bad tools

hopefully the worst part

it's nice but there are so many standards and it's so expensive

started building the radiotelescope

no coax left

short self-contained problems are so good

i mean bad smartasses like, those who absolutely need to splain things to everyone, but also are wrong about it

the only thing worse than a smartass is a smartass who isn't even right

*beeps*

currently trying not to play with a laser through the window

i kinda want to but also it would maybe be very very bright at night even at a longer range

of course "memory safety" doesn't solve everything but if we can remove most of the stupidly predictable flaws let's fucking do it

and if someone wanted to bolt a magical static analysis tool that removes half the bugs to a c compiler let's fucking do it too

it's just that rust is made for that to work nicely from the start

"what if we make it like us and it does" well you built a very expensive badly educated child. it's been a problem since before we even thought of the artificial side.

"but what if it takes over the world" it fucking won't because it's completely pointless to anything but to us

you're actually scared of people, not the "artificial" part

hot take human intelligence is way more dangerous that ai in every way and no one wants to think of it that way while we build it continuously

how often does a movie make you reconsider the nature of time? it's a great movie
