  • My grandfather (Japanese) asked over and over again for our family to take him to one of the few restaurants that still serve whale meat. He just wanted to eat it once more before he died (about 10 years ago). He grew up eating it all the time as he was part of a blue collar family and it was a cheap meat that everyone ate. He loved it and hadn’t had it in decades.

    The family always refused and he never got to eat it again. I always felt bad for him; what Japan did in limiting whale meat consumption would be something like the US eliminating 99% of pork consumption in the matter of a few decades. Is it for the best? Absolutely. Still wish he was able to eat it one last time, though.


  • For example, some billionaire owns a company that creates the most advanced AI yet, it’s a big competitive advantage, but other companies are not far behind. Well, the company works to make the AI have a base goal to improve AI systems to maintain competitive advantage. Maybe that becomes inherent to it moving forward.

    As I said, it’s a big if, and I was only really speculating as to what would happen after that point, not if that were the most likely scenario.












  • I believe these are sharp’s memory in pixel lcds. They’re much lower power than something like the game boy screen as each pixel retains its state and doesn’t need to be refreshed from the controller constantly. I actually like these little screens quite a lot. Worse pixel density and don’t look as good as e-ink when static, but still really Low power and can refresh way faster and smoother when needed.
