I remember using Atom back in high school, sad to see it go. It was fun while it lasted. Now primarily using VSCode, I'm curious what the next best IDE will be.
I keep seeing lots of talks of nuclear energy being the next greatest form of energy, but ever since Chernobyl, it seems like people are afraid even though Chernobyl was a one-off incident that wasn't regulated well.
One interesting fact about thumb drives is that they have evolved significantly since they were first introduced. The first thumb drives were created in the late 1990s and were much larger and less reliable than the ones we use today. They were also much slower, with data transfer speeds of only a few megabytes per second. In comparison, modern thumb drives can transfer data at speeds of hundreds of megabytes per second and are small enough to fit on a keychain. This has made them an essential tool for many people, and they are now commonly used to store and transfer data for personal and professional use.

That sounds high to me; some of my more recent USB drives get single-digit MB/s. USB 1.1 had a theoretical limit of 1.2MB/s and I doubt many (any?) early thumb drives achieved that.
Doesn't surprise me tbh, although I'm curious if different countries have different policies regarding this. E.G. in privacy-centric countries like Iceland, are there stricter rules / regulations?
Always been interested in physics since I was a kid, so seeing this kind of stuff with dark matter and being able to understand how it'd be used in practical applications is fascinating to me.
It's definitely a step up from GPT-3, but I'm curious how much further it has to go before it's actually scary. Right now, I feel like there's still quite a bit of progress to be made.
