Phd Psych and mom. Feeds birds to cope with the political circus.

Just a reminder that two prominent Federalist Society members wanted to overthrow the government by fraud and then have the government murder you if you objected.

Eat that with your fuckin’ Chick-fil-A sack lunch.

The engineers who designed the #Voyager probes half a century ago even thought of the possibility that a wrong sequence of commands may point the antenna dish away from earth (like someone did a couple of days ago).

And they implemented a self-adjusting mechanism that a few times a year scans the positions of a few known stars to infer the position of the earth, and point back the antenna in the right direction.

50 years later, these wonderful machines are still working, tens of billions of km away from earth, with only 69 KB of RAM, and even a wrong sequence of commands won't put them out of use, while nowadays 4 GB of RAM aren't even enough to start VsCode or IntelliJ.

The more I understand how they were designed, the more I feel like an early Medieval engineer looking at the Pantheon or other marvels of Roman architecture. Some amazing skills, knowledge and attention to details have been lost from that generation to ours.

The Guardian

Something I would like in my mentions here:

Links to well-researched, well-informed climate action plans. Research on feasibility of decarbonization strategies. People who’ve already done the work of figuring out intervention payoffs and tech tradeoffs, and have assembled those findings into a coherent big picture.

We don’t need to reinvent this wheel here in the Fediverse. Let’s listen to the people who’ve already been doing the homework.

Post and I’ll boost.

If you really want to protect kids, get rid of assault weapons and mega-magazines.
