I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

My (late lamented) cat would love sitting in front of an inkjet printer when it was printing. I guess he liked the suspense when the page would suddenly advance.
Poza tym, że z tego energii nie wyciągniesz, co inni już napisali, dość szybko trafisz w inny problem: jeśli twoje antykaloryfery będą schłodzone poniżej temperatury rosy, to zacznie z nich kapać woda wykroplona z powietrza. Musisz wtedy albo niezależnie osuszać powietrze, albo tę wodę odprowadzać.
Takie systemy istnieją (u mnie w pracy jest takowy) i mają te problemy: u nas owe "chłodzacze" (notabene umieszczone pod sufitem) nigdy nie są chłodzone poniżej temperatury rosy, co ogranicza możliwy odbiór ciepła.
Jeśli dobrze pamiętam, to osmandowe aktualizacje map mają jakiś dzień opóźnienia (i.e. te które możesz teraz ściągnąć są z ~wczoraj). Poza tym, czy zaktualizowałeś je ostatnio?
@rq Everyone pairs up :)
Hmm.. I'm confused, it doesn't seem to happen for me: https://paste.sr.ht/~robryk/f749ebf57fbf5e6314c1d4f7faf4a9d5af08da58
Am I doing something significantly different?
@rogatywieszcz Czym jest openmaps?
Jeśli znajdziesz tę ulicę na openstreetmap.org to (używając guzika "query features") możesz popatrzeć na jej historię -- może została właśnie dodana, albo właśnie usunięta?
Have you tried creating a venv from inside the nix-shell; the one you were using or something like `python.withPackages (p: [p.pygame p.pyusb])`?
First world problems: drying cat ears.
Also, surprisingly many people compliment them (not counting kids, 2 in a bit over an hour).
I've never used that feature, but http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_cache_background_update claims to be a part of what you want.
Right, I misunderstood "we've found two and are looking for more" (in reality looking for more was out of caution and not a strong expectation that there should be more).
It would overlap with Russian military slang for dead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_200_(code_name)
No, I mean something that happened in Poland and it involved people being totally unaware of what they're doing. Sadly the materials from the probably-relevant radiological inspectors' conference aren't available online either.
Re the #emfcamp search for a missing device with Am-241 inside, I tried to look up an incident from mid-naughts I vaguely remember, where a group of disgruntled(?) cleaners(?) smashed up smoke detectors and released the Americium (I don't know whether they ended up smashing it into dust or "just" into macroscopic pieces). Sadly, I couldn't find any obvious reference (the easily accessible reports on radiation incidents in Poland go back to 2007, and the ones up to 2010 do not mention any smoke detector incident that required onsite investigation).
I've found though a curious sounding "contamination of a passenger (rail?)car with I-131" in the 2007 report and can't find anything more about it. I'm somewhat puzzled by the sequence of events that could cause that: if someone's getting I-131 orally they stay in the hospital well past the point when it's absorbed (in fact until the activity has dropped down significantly), so I wouldn't expect that to result from e.g. someone vomiting. If that didn't come from bodily fluid, then why would someone be transporting I-131 via passenger rail, in a form that can be easily dispersed?
Apparently someone dropped off three devices with Am-241(an alpha emitter) in the swap meet, and now the question is who picked up one of these devices. (https://meow.social/@tryst/112547040034336222)
(Am-241 is/was often used to ionize air, e.g. to allow smoke level measurements because smoke will reduce the "level of ionization". This was a repetitive headache when those smoke detectors were left alone, stolen, thrown out in trash, smashed open by disgruntled employees, etc.)
@koakuma The most ridiculous part of that is that they assume something about calcium in milk, which while reasonably accurate about milk, will be very off (in either direction, depending on fortification) for plant milk.
Another funny thing: cocoa powder: "serving (including milk)"
re: haircut
Because burnt ends aren't healthy ends, because figuring out where to cut each hair is too hard, because integration hell (esp. with a reasonably powered laser aimed in the general direction of someone's head), or something I'm missing?
haircut
I wondered at some point whether cutting hair with heat would be nonterrible. If so, one could imagine a setup where one spreads the hair on a surface so that hairs don't overlap (that much), uses a reasonably-high-res camera to figure out where each hair should be cut and vectors a laser around to do so.
