@NuclearDisorder@mastodon.socialHeute vor 15 Jahren: Am 14.04.2009 zog sich #Nordkorea als Reaktion auf die Verurteilung ihres Satellitenstarts am Tag zuvor aus den Sechs-Parteien-Gesprächen zurück, kündigte die Wiederaufnahme seines Programms zur nuklearen Abschreckung an und wies alle #Atominspektoren aus.

@JorgeStolfi@mas.toA form of personal transportation, like a Tesla, but produced with simple bio-engineering out of proteic polymers rather than metal and plastic. Normally for a single passenger, but could carry two in a pinch, and some modest amount of goods. Totally green-powered, and could be recharged even in transit. Superb off-road agility and can drive through 3-foot-deep water. Drive-by wire and voice activation. Available in several colors.

OK. Where are the rings?
We left them with the little islanders from Asia.
It's always the help, in the library, with a lead pipe.

@JorgeStolfi@mas.toA decentralized communications technology that does not depend on routing digital packets through a physical network of towers, gateways, microwave beams, and optical fibers. The text to be transmitted is encoded with a multiband frequency/amplitude modulation scheme, transmitted by molecular density waves, and decoded with a pair of miniaturized spectral filter banks implanted under the receiver's skull. Range up to tens of meters.

@kornel@mastodon.socialWhen I want my mind blown, I compare former world's largest supercomputers to the tech I have around.
ASCI Red, the world's fastest supercomputer until the year 2000, was 150m² large, consumed 850,000W of power …and was slower than an iPhone 14 Pro, which uses ~6W.
ASCI Red had over 1TB of RAM, which may still sound impressive, except that RAM was 2× slower than the iPhone's 1TB SSD.

@sofia@chaos.socialso, there is this this space filling curve called a Gosper curve, which got some neat property like forming a fractal island that can tile the plane.
however, the best part of it is that it's also called a flowsnake 😃.

@NuclearDisorder@mastodon.socialHeute vor 65 Jahren: Am 13. April 1959 forderten die Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien die Sowjetunion auf, sich einem #Moratorium für oberirdische #Atomwaffentests anzuschließen. Bis dahin fanden ca. 300 oberirdische Atomwaffentests statt.
@christian@suma-ev.socialNach gut einem Monat bin ich soeben zum zweiten Mal von digitalcourage.social zu suma-ev.social umgezogen.
Der Grund ist, dass bei meinem ersten Umzugsversuch ein Drittel meiner Follower (ca. 1400) nicht automatisch mitgekommen waren. (Was wohl daran lag, dass der Server von SUMA-EV die hohe Last automatisch durch Reboots heilen wollte.)
Die meisten konnte ich heute nachholen. Die verbleibenden 450 sind vermutlich auf Fediverse-Instanzen, die Mastodon-Umzüge nicht unterstützen oder…

@jvschrag@hachyderm.ioToday I was looking for an image of a person being carried on a sedan chair, to illustrate an article I'm writing. When I did a search on on Adobe Stock for "sedan chair", it showed me dozens of pictures of people picking up garbage, and a few pictures of kittens, and nothing else. I found this completely baffling.
Next I went to search the Wikimedia Commons. And it was there I was reminded that another word for "sedan chair" is "litter".
@nemobis@mamot.frI wonder what happened to 7T7, the seagull who was always in front of my kitchen window at my previous place. She raised (and then seemingly abandoned) quite some offspring in front of my eyes.
So I've finally uploaded some photos of #Hakaniemenranta in 2020, before the construction works for the new tram line and apartment buildings and whatnot started.
