And from the same site; Science Heroes and History – Atoms to Astronauts https://www.atomstoastronauts.com/blogs/atoms-to-astronauts-articles With short summaries; "In 1941 President Roosevelt banned racial discrimination in the defense industries and NASA's predecessor, NACA, began hiring black female mathematicians. Hearing of the opportunity Johnson, who by now had trained as a teacher, applied and was accepted into the Computing Department in 1953." Noting, that these are now being rolled back by the most incompetent 'orange' male ever. : (((((((
10.3.2025 12:44Comment on Sexy Notebooks Recommended by Matthew by Tim BushellIn chapter 4 of A System for Writing Doto covers all the work that goes into connecting notes, and to many I’m sure it feels daunting. He talks about stretching the meanings of notes when you’re starting because you don’t have many notes yet and you need to start making connections. My first thought when […]

8.3.2025 15:40Comment on Seeking Less Connectivity by Gutto ZeCal Newport regularly says that we assume if a bit of something is good, more must be better. Some connectivity is good, so connectivity all the time must be better. Easy to send text messages make some communication easier, so all communication going through a text must be better. But I don’t think so and […]
8.3.2025 14:00Seeking Less ConnectivityDrew at Lithub says we should stop linking to Amazon and I don’t disagree with him. Jeff Bezos is just like any other big tech oligarchs out there. But Drew doesn’t offer any alternatives for those that want to advertise their books. You could link to Bookshop which helps support local bookstores with your purchases […]

6.3.2025 21:25Xyla Grounded for Female HysteriaI’m a sucker for a dot grid notebook so when Matthew recommended these sexy science notebooks I ordered 3. Do I need more notebooks, nope I have a stake on the shelf. But these are hot.

4.3.2025 22:04Comment on Cory’s list of tech outside the US by Bob DotoCory has a bigger list than I put together a few days ago. To my US friends, I like you all and wish you the best but I have to say no to the government shit going on. Outside the attacks on my country, the US government is removing rights from it’s citizens and that’s […]

But I’m going to hold to his advice by posting what I want, when I want, and not pruning my backlog because this is […]
2.3.2025 16:34Guess I’m old and irrelevantThere’s a lot at stake when putting thoughts into words. Words that remain in our head are free to exist independent of how they’re used by other people. Once we attempt to put our ideas on the page, words that previously strutted self-assuredly across our synapses become sheepish and soft-spoken. – A System for Writing […]
2.3.2025 14:00Words are the Edge of FearLLMs are not generally optimized to say “I don’t know” when they don’t have enough information – Co-Intelligence Pg 96 One of the things I’ve always valued in another person is their ability to admit when they don’t know something. It’s also one of my biggest issues with LLMs, they confidently tell you a lie […]
1.3.2025 14:00Expertise in the Age of Infinite InformationIn reply to <a href="https://curtismchale.ca/2025/02/22/annoyed-by-sonos/#comment-510149">Matt Gibson</a>. Yes I can do that and it's only going to be a 10cm run since the player will be sitting on top/beside the AMP. I'll have to go look at his AMPs and speakers again now that I have some more information. He had a bunch that took phono inputs but I'm not sure he had anything that took RCA. I'm sure there is some converter though. I've also looked at getting the <a href="https://amzn.to/4biPFsh" rel="nofollow ugc">AIYIMA T9 PRO</a> and then pairing it with either some speakers from that local shop or maybe something online. Budget has me waiting a month or so before I can change my audio setup.

28.2.2025 08:37Comment on Apps Outside the US by TrailorPersonally, I'd just use the 3.5mm unbalanced line output, which should be totally compatible with the RCA inputs on a classic amp. You'd just need a cable with 3.5mm stereo jack plug on one end and RCA stereo plugs on the other, and those are very easy to source. I can't see that there'd be any difference between balanced and (a short run of decently-shielded) unbalanced cable in terms of audio quality, interference, etc.

27.2.2025 18:02Comment on Apps Outside the US by emilyLou has a good list of apps that won’t be subject to the changing privacy whims of the US government because they’re outside the US. I’m not sure that’s true given that we see many companies saying that they “comply with all local laws” but at this point I’m much happier to support anything that’s […]
