Lets assume auto-complete does continue to progress at a rate that threatens most knowledge worker jobs and then we manage to automate the rest by using it. There is a particular mental disorder where people will horde wealth at absolutely

I've always wanted a keyboard+screen with a slot for a phone as the trackpad. Saving any money over a regular trackpad? No. Cool as hell? I think so at least...

That's the thing people are missing, the models plateaued a while ago, still making minor gains to this day, but not huge ones. The difference is now we've had time to figure out the tooling. I think there's still a ton of

Bear in mind that lead may be, in large part, from the tooling rather than the model

OP is talking about (mostly) TATP here. It's very easy to make, harder to detect with traditional methods and potent enough to be a problem. It's also hilariously unstable, will absolutely kill you before you achieve terrorism,

Dual energy x ray has been around forever though, like decades.

Is "ask an AI" the new rtfm?

Sure, but I don't see them mention what they're actually using for LEDs at all. They mention a "colour fidelity index" but I'd expect a manufacturer part number or something so I can pull the datasheet. Funny enoug

No mention of CRI which seems kind of odd. LEDs for lighting are increasingly graded by how natural their emission spectrum is. Older lights are quite bad, newer ones sacrifice a tiny bit of performance for more uniform spectrum.

You're right, maybe calling people "illegal" is just shitty and we should be the welcoming county we were taught about on history class.

Thanks for the response! I assume you were setup with a linescan then instead of butcher block FPA?

Why no fold mirror then?

How do you manage along-track smear? At those altitudes you're pushing close to 8km/s. Traditionally you'd either need to keep the satellite rotating through the collect or somehow keep the integration time in the single di

LLMs don't use much energy at all to run, they use it all at the beginning for training, which is happening constantly right now. TLDR this is, intentionally or not, an industry puff piece that completely misunderstands the problem. Al

Analyst slop, he's trying to say that Claude code is like the moment that chatgpt was released and everyone went apeshit for AI. The future he's describing is vaguely plausible in a narrow set of use cases a decade from now but h

Disbelief and normalcy are a hell of a drug. Unless someone fully expects something terrible to happen and they are deliberately trying to find out when it'll happen, most people will happily ignore all of the signs until it's to

Counting cars in Best Buy parking lots on black friday used to almost be a meme in the GIS community until ai models became reliable enough. You can also do entertaining things like determine if a factory/data-center is running at full

My brain kinda shuts off when I read this stuff because I know it's more of a "text shaped object" than actual text. I find LLM text to be too fluffy and information sparse much of the time so I subconsciously start skimming

Beware that while you may choose nonviolence to protest this regime, your local police department will water you like a row of daisies with giant cans of mace and CS while TikTok users get bored and swipe to the next video.

I don't like this future where we're just trading users between a couple billionaires who all support the trump regime. I especially don't like that all social media is being consolidated to one company (Facebook/Meta)

A commonly cited example is during the Battle of Seattle the cops wanted to beat the shit out of a nonviolent sit in and the black bloc protected them through a combination of strength and diversion. The non violent people are there for th

Thinking on it, I suspect it's a case of a larger number of smaller techniques. Cops aren't very good at keeping secrets so it can't be something that is widely pervasive, but every department has their stupid little trick

I personally don't think we are, a few hundred people were able to storm the capital, many were eventually arrested but if they had more numbers and pressed a coup wasn't off the table. The issue is the level of needed "righ

The race is between the rich trying to achieve a level of surveillance based omnipotence such that rebellion/revolution/dissent/protest/etc are fundamentally impossible...and the US populace gaining class consciousness.

Yeah seems like that's quite explicitly the goal. The question is, what means or method are they trying to hide and is it hyper illegal or just something they don't want to be pubic knowledge?

At that point just don't register it and pay the fines, it'll be cheaper.

This x1000, I hope this really turns the screws on the US manufacturers, they need to hurt.
