This might be the closest that Tesla's Cybertruck ever gets to being cool. A video posted to social media by skateboarding magazine Thrasher shows pro skater Leo Romero ollying onto the roof of a vinyl-wrapped Cybertruck, using its triangular roof line as a grind rail. It's a sick stunt, with Romero effortlessly kickflipping into a 50-50, making for some gnarly footage and a fun photo opp. But a mere glimpse at the comments highlights how much of a lightning rod the Cybertruck has become, mar

In the year 2000, in a small east German town, work began on the construction of an organ that had one purpose: to perform John Cage’s ORGAN2/ASLSP (1987) for precisely 639 years. The late avant-garde composer’s only instruction for the piece was to play the piece ‘as slowly as possible’. And so in 2001 – the instrument finally ready – the world’s longest organ recital began in St Burchardi church, Halberstadt, with a rest lasting 17 months before the first chord commenced droning in 2003.

Real Time Chess A physical chess board without the concept of turns Pitch Chess is boring. I'm boring too so I enjoy it anyways, but I can't help but think "I could design it better." Normally in chess players move sequentially in turns, but this introduces a huge latency bug that the developers of chess forgot to patch: you spend literally half the time waiting for your opponent! The obvious solution is just get rid of the concept of turns in chess altogether and let players move whenever
