This was a flawless upgrade in five minutes. A fresh install from USB is about 10 min - not much more than supply name and password. Congratulations @DHH ! x.com/dhh/status/20270950829…

Most people have never actually met someone who is 3 sigma bad in violent criminality. It is jarringly obvious when you meet them.

First Public Demonstration of the Computer Mouse and Graphical User Interface — 1968 On December 9, 1968, in what would later be called “The Mother of All Demos,” computer scientist Douglas Engelbart gave the world its first glimpse of modern computing. Held at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, Engelbart’s 90-minute live demonstration introduced revolutionary concepts that now define how we interact with computers. Among the innovations unveiled were the **computer mouse**, a small wooden device with two perpendicular wheels, designed to navigate on-screen content. Engelbart also showcased **windowed computing**, **hypertext links**, **real-time text editing**, and the **graphical user interface** — decades before these features would appear in mainstream personal computers. At a time when most computers were still operated with punch cards and command lines, Engelbart’s vision seemed futuristic, even unimaginable. Yet, the demo laid the groundwork for everything from desktop interfaces to the modern internet. Supported by his team at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Engelbart’s presentation was not just a technical marvel but a profound reimagining of human-computer interaction. It would take years for the world to catch up to his ideas, but the seeds of the digital revolution were planted that day — and history was quietly, but permanently, changed.

Guy has his fingers positioned wrong on his keyboard and types gibberish into ChatGPT. It decodes what he meant to say by assuming his hand was shifted right and re-mapping his fingers 🤯 (from u/mimic751)

These are the controls of a 40y/o toaster oven I bastardized some time ago to make a reflow oven. Interesting how it's 80% sheet metal. And it still worked when I gutted it!

I’m beyond thrilled to share that our work on using deep learning to compute excited states of molecules is out today in @ScienceMagazine! This is the first time that deep learning has accurately solved some of the hardest problems in quantum physics. science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/…

For the first time, there is a rocket that can make all life multiplanetary. A fork in the road of human destiny.

I'm team #JIF. How do you pronounce it?

I live near this spot in NYC. Is this dumb or the smartest SEO marketing strategy of all time for a restaurant?

Mars is at it's closest to Earth. Here's a photo I captured of it last night using a 14" telescope. You can clearly see the northern polar ice cap! I'm working hard to learn to overcome the challenges of planetary photography to bring you the best images of Mars at opposition.

I'm so sorry to say it, but today @linuxjournal closed down for good. As you can imagine we are all so sad that this is the end. You can read my final goodbye here: linuxjournal.com/content/lin…
