~~I don't think your units make sense


kinetic energy has units of energy, but "kg TNT per second" is power (about 4MW). (I think just remove the "every second" and it's correct?)~~

It's maybe not that bad for a "normal" person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out


abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck


was pretty disheartening.

You can!

Getting it published is another matter though...

We kinda do the opposite already, via subsidies https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7690710/

Immich looks particularly good to me.

It is! Been running it for a few years now and I love it.

The local ML and face detection are awesome, and not too resource intensive


i think it took less than a day to go through maybe 20k+ photos and 1k+ videos, and that was on an N100 NUC (16GB).

Works seamlessly across my iPhone, my android, and desktop.

...using chopsticks of course, so you don't get your mechanical keyboard dirty.

A faint, "Zero! Ah ha ha!" can be heard in the distance, as The Count tallies up the score.

Maybe they mean four year uptime...

Also note that many graduate programs are free*


if you don't count lost wages or the cost of the prerequisite undergrad degree.

But it all depends on what you want, with a fair amount of luck thrown in IMHO. You can have a lousy job with or without a degree, and you can have a great career with or without one.

From ed.gov:

Overall, the median lifetime earnings for all workers are $1.7 million, which is just under $42,000 per year ($20 per hour). Over a 40-year career, those who didn't earn a high school diploma or GED are expected to bring in less than $1 million, which translates into slightly more than $24,000 a year ($11.70 per hour).


*Or rather, funded by your research/TA/etc.

It's a fun way to mix it up!

Previously I just had my favorite starting word, but I thought it got a little boring. This can be a fun challenge. That said, I skip days now and then so I'm not worried about keeping a streak going :)
