looks like they are just using a cheap ptz security camera. there are some really inexpensive 4k 36x zoom ones available from china, probably almost exactly what they are using.

I think the rc turbine market is larger than it seems, lots of people have rc turbine model planes, and developing (modeling, simulating, casting/milling) custom turbine hardware is very very involved, not really a nerdy family business kind of thing.

(supposedly) taking and then giving back is better than permanently removing, no matter how you look at it

could try and get diy hrt from reputable tested vendors. if dark web marketplaces can use the mail to ship real illegal drugs, surely some estradiol will be fine.

regardless of what biden is or isnt doing, trump would just remove the rights entirely, so still gotta vote for biden

I mean you'd think being so near an airbase with anti air defenses would be safer. seems they intercepted them very late though

anduril (creepy military defense company from right wing tech bro) has made this, I'm sure its absurdly expensive though, and I don't think they sell to random people.

how does that matter if the drive by wire has force feedback.

people argued over fly by wire in planes when it started emerging, how it was taking the safe controllable mechanical link away or whatever, but ultimately it has proven its safety and reliability over mechanical linkages anyway

because lots of (most?) trans people don't want to be "trans", they want to fit in with the gender they know they are, and being labeled as not a real man or woman in the normal sports leagues, but a trans man or woman in the trans league, is insulting.

yeah, it sucks. heres a good essay on that issue

pretty sure it can run on either, but cpus are slow compared to gpus, often to the point of being impractical

Have you seen that study about the accuracy of chatgpt responding to programming questions? (here) It's wrong 52% of the time, and I can say that I have personally experienced trying to use chatgpt for programming and getting more confused rather than less. Maybe it is because I wasn't using gpt4, or claude, or whatever new model is the best, but I'm just sharing my experience.

Also I support electric vehicles because without them lots of energy (and emissions) is generated for critical infrastructure (we can't ditch cars yet), and so replacing that with renewably generated energy is a good idea.

LLMs consume lots of energy to train and use, but instead of literally moving millions of people around, they assist you in doing things you could have done without them, but with dubious accuracy. Look at the massive use of LLMs in by students to cheat in school, yes they may not get detected, but sometimes they have noticable flaws, that get them in large trouble for being too lazy to actually learn anything.

If you want to learn in depth knowledge about a topic, just go look it up and learn there, it's more helpful than an LLM.

you're getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and "dark web", you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

but then made another torrent that is fully seeded

breaking taps is very impressive, but sam zeloof made it quite a bit further, he made his own packaged IC. now he runs a startup called atomic semi, that is trying to use electron beam lithography for prototyping.

350 nm is massive and ancient relative to new processes, but the name of a new process stopped physically meaning anything a while ago. for instance, the 3 nm process smallest distance between traces is only 24 nm.

now the industry just names a new process when enough techniques for improving performance (without much actual size difference) exist.

that is such a stupid metric.

it's not like hiroshima was super hot for a day or two because the bomb went off, and the earth is enourmous compared to the city of hiroshima.

in trying to make a meaningless number (heat gained per second) into something people can understand, they just made another meaningless statement

I mean it might be more secure, it might be less secure, we just can't read through the source for windows, so we won't know until linux is attacked as much as windows. It would (will?) definitely be interesting to find out.

freecad is horrible, not really worth trying.

I've heard of people getting fusion 360 running great with a snap, but others say it has issues. the github for it is being actively maintained, so thats a good sign at least.

I tried to get siemens solid edge working through wine, but it was mostly broken and I didn't dig too deep into troubleshooting, I just dualboot windows for fussy programs and anticheats

ok but have you used steam? it's so much better than the alternatives. thats most of why people like him and valve
