Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.

The MIT page containing the report has disappeared and it isn’t archived on wayback. Anyone know where we can read it?

I love the intro explaining that sweet spot between something you are interested in and something everyone is talking about. Great video!

First I just want to say, that is a damn beautiful website. No ads, no popups, just pure information.

And second, as a former back end developer who has spent a huge amount of time working on input sanitization and building database schemas, that list gave me mild PTSD for a job I have never even had.

Maybe this only works on certain fish, but if you stop the first long cut just short of the tail you can flip the fillet over and it stays connected to the body, making it easier to hold while you cut the fillet away from the skin.

Could this be a panametric fan?

The Sony Mavica FD91 was the first digital camera I ever owned! I used it the last couple years of high school and during a short homestay in Japan. You could pick up a giant box of 3.5" floppies for cheap, and as long as you fed it a stead supply of batteries it worked pretty well.

Here are some photos I took that are at, I believe, the highest quality setting (1024 x 768 and about 170kb each). Though I think Lemmy shows them shrunk down in the feed, if you open the image in a new tab you can see the full resolution.

Zoomed in.

And a closeup.

The 14x optical zoom was pretty amazing back then.

Can they add a little speaker and have it play some smooth jazz when unzipping?

I feel like even AI will be able to emulate this kind of speech, but the upside is people with dementia won’t feel so alienated anymore.
