Fun to follow subway station articles along my local line, until they stop becoming clickable links because they're too far away

Dang this looks perfect, but sadly is giving a 502 error at the moment.

Awesome thanks!

I can't tell, did Glacier Mice make the cut? On a first pass, I don't see it.

Agreed. I would follow a bluesky/mastodon/rss thing that shares every time a Wikipedia article hits the front page.
Sounds like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission explicitly categorized it as a "non-emergency"
"Irreversible on human timescales" is a nice succinct wording; I think I usually end up discussing that concept in a less clear / more roundabout way.
> It'll only affect places where humans are

What?

Arguably people who voted for Trump are somewhat responsible, and include a lot of car drivers.

(Not to imply that many Democrat politicians aren't also owned by AIPAC and big business.)

I think they're being sarcastic, saying that rewrites from scratch have rarely worked well (whether done by AI or humans).

Why gaze up at the vast cosmos when we can stare down at a little screen
To be fair to CNN, this article is about an FBI investigation.
You're right that the caffeine isn't entirely removed, but it's supposedly more than 90% removed.

(I'm even seeing the number 97% mentioned a lot online.)

I would guess that the whole "manosphere" phenomenon helped cryptocurrencies and Trump, so probably can help OpenAI too?

Re:The Physics and Economics of Moving 44 Tonnes at 56mph on Thursday February 26, 2026 @09:03AM (#47166239)
Interesting, thanks!

One thing I'd update is that early in the article you say that for switching from diesel to lithium-ion, "It's 16 tonnes of payload that disappears".

But then later you take engine efficiency into account and say it's "about 6.4 tonnes of battery".

So the claim that it would ever reduce payload by 16 tonnes seems incorrect, and not everyone is going to read both parts.

Oh thanks that altitude slider is very interesting. Makes me want to see a 3d visualization.

Can someone explain how wind can spiral in to a point? Where does the air "go"? Or does this create a higher pressure?

aside: interestingly it's spelled bellwether and comes from shepherds putting a bell on a wether (a sheep) — it's unrelated to weather
Tim Cook has been spending a lot of time sucking up to Donald Trump recently, so I think the U.S. federal government will only be assisting Apple

> Maybe the world will be a more peaceful place if it doesn't get too hot?

I think you're saying this as a joke, but to me it seems extremely likely that climate change will lead to wars and conflict (if it hasn't already)
