NASA's Perseverance rover finds potential signs of ancient life on Mars

We can’t circumvent the work needed to train our minds

The Scam Called “You Don't Have to Remember Anything” Dear Zettlers, This scam is decades old now and it is quite surprising that people still fall for it. The search engines, old note-taking apps (you know, those with an elephant icon and the like) and AI have something in common: They claim that the effort of remembering things is outdated like using a candle in the age of electric light. The following is, by the way, from my Zettelkasten (2016): To find what you need online, you require

Distributing your own scripts via Homebrew

Saturday, Sep 6, 2025 Distributing your own scripts via Homebrew I use Homebrew all the time. Whenever I see a new CLI that offers an npm or uv install path alongside a brew one, I choose brew every single time. And yet, when it comes time to publish a CLI of my own, I usually just ship it as a Ruby gem or an npm package, because I had (and have!) no fucking clue how Homebrew works. I'm not enough of a neckbeard to peer behind the curtain as soon as root directories like /usr and /opt are inv

Amazon wants to build the Echo of AR glasses

TL;DR Amazon is supposedly working on two pairs of AR glasses. A larger, monochrome model could assist its delivery drivers and may debut in the first half of next year. The more compact, color-screen consumer glasses might not arrive until 2027. Amazon’s track record with tech hardware is a bit mixed, to put it lightly. We’ve seen some epic failures over the years, like the disaster that was the Fire Phone, and while its Echo smart speakers have been market leaders, it’s still very unclear i
