Inflating is such a cool idea, it'd work for any 3D shape I can think of.

If keeping air pressure is an issue, that might be resolved by making the sheet rigid once deployed. Are there UV curing resins that won't cure at all before being exposed to UV?

Speaking of sunlight, heating from the sun could be used to create the pressure for inflation. Or off-gassing from UV induced reactions.

It keeps getting recommended on HN - should there be a book club?

Ive been wanting a syntax-tree-viewer for months, to help me learn functional languages where figuring out what is even going on syntax-wise in the exmaples provided by tutorials keeps being an issue for me. Does anyone know of a way to see a syntax tree for any given snippet of code for any given language? I'd try Zed, but I'll have to wait for Linux support.

It's besides the point, but a slight correction: you wouldn't assume someone's preferred pronouns from details about their genitals (it'd be offensive to ask or try to check!), but from how they present them self - through gendered appearance or perhaps by just stating it.

Those two books came to me at a time when I was very receptive to and in need of their messages, and I'm still digesting them a year later. Very short, highly recommended to anyone who cares about: emotion, our place in the world, or cool futuristic societal and technology ideas. My favourite sci fi.

Doesn't that just mean the least interesting number definitely exists but is simply unknowable?
