Maybe not something at the micro scale of the Macintosh where everything was designed from scratch but me and a few other people designed and made our own rocket flight computer out of sensors and an NXP 32 bit microcontroller in college.

I don’t think I’ve ever gotten language syntax wrong but ChatGPT will happily tell you to use functions that don’t exist or use them incorrectly. Also yes Bing sources aren’t necessarily quality sources but they are more aligned to reality

I like to use the Bing AI for that because ChatGPT can sometimes hallucinate while Bing will use its knowledge + stuff from websites which makes it a more reliable source for things which should match reality.

Lol they will find some excuse like “the officers feared for their lives and acted in the best interests of the community” or something regardless of how many guns they have. Militarization of the police has nothing to do with it

The biggest problem with Mastodon is that 3 instances comprise 50% of all traffic. That’s not that bad but that creates the conditions for the largest X instances to become Mastodon Inc., use VC money to fund advertising for their site and

Funny enough I work in a small aerospace company and I have been tasked with engineering things before. Technically my initial position was as an engineer and not an SWE even though my degree was in CS

I’ve taken dev satellite modules through TSA screening before and it was “fun”. My old boss apparently flew with either part of or an entire satellite’s flight hardware in a suitcase once which sounds terrifying

You can do all of those things with regular credit cards added to Apple Pay too

Memmy is also similar to Apollo

The main market for this would realistically the US government or government contractors if the US made some sort of rule requiring the government and contractors to use these types of phones

The last product launch Apple did that truly would have encouraged a reaction like that would maybe be the M1 macs. Otherwise the iPhone and most of their other products change too little year over year for that to happen

I didn’t even realize JavaScript in email was a possible thing until I opened this thread, and still don’t understand the use case for it.

They are the rules for JPL, where they are sending shit to other planets and have 1 incredibly expensive shot to get the software right on the first try. The software cannot have an unrecoverable error condition and the safety critical port

There’s other policy failures with cars like parking minimums and single family zoning, as well of lack of requirements that roads be pedestrian friendly.

I’m surprised people have as much of a huge problem with AirBNB as they do, VRBO has existed basically forever and is a non Silicon Valley version of the same service.

Until someone decides that your approach shouldn’t be obscure yes It’s like the non standard locks that are easier to pick if you know how but can’t be picked with regular lock picking tools

Both approaches are valid- NASA is the “we have one shot to get this right” approach and SpaceX is the “launches for test data are cheap” approach. Both are valid

Because those are more likely to yield results than trying to figure out how to break your custom web server. If a big company suddenly started using it or AWS made your custom web server a default option then that would be a different scen

This is a good point (at a small scale until you become large enough to be a target people spend significant time targeting)

I saw a system on a cruise ship that did something similar for towels without AI

I will say that the left leaning social policy in the US seemed silly to me at first until I became better friends with people who are in those groups and a bit of it is still silly but it does make a lot more sense from their perspective.

I think if Tesla called it “Enhanced Autopilot” people would be less mad but at the moment their “Full self driving” software does not fully self drive.

Yeah conservatism as in tax cuts for the middle class and poor and less government services as a result is not a policy in the US lol

You can easily rebut that…no, they would, if you make a library with 90% porn in it they would have a harder time doing research in that library than a normal one.

Is there a reason you can’t distill/evaporate the remaining water out of the solids?

I agree, but I don’t think it makes as much sense for the time scale of the ISS since IMO by the time asteroid mining is successful, the ISS will be towards the end of its life. I think this is something that would be more worth putting in

In 2023 yes but there are lot of in production systems designed in the past around older chip designs and old hardware in the real world with slower chips. For example a common low processing power network device you can still make easily t

Obviously your example is at an extremely low resolution but there’s a good argument that making erotic art of someone without their permission should be illegal. It’s obviously not as bad as a deepfake but it’s still a pretty bad thing to
