Therefore this is the start of open source stealth tech - hobbyists fearing military intervention will begin to construct their balloons out of radar-absorbing materials.

They certainly built some, but it does seem more like a publicity stunt or occasionally touring enforcement option, than any kind of seriously pursued plan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van

ATC is not meant for general reception. radio stations, weather/navigation broadcasts, amateur radio bands, etc. are intended for general reception. ATC is intended for airport staff and aircraft, so it is technically illegal to listen

Is anger not a reasonable response to someone's drunken stupidity fucking up your life and ending theirs?

This is such a good point. Games are like this now too, especially on mobile. It's super sad.

Even on a much smaller scale, the algorithm is incentivised to radicalise you. A few years ago I would watch videos of helicopters with my 4-5 year old son because he loved helicopters and enjoyed watching them lift things, cut trees, put o

Terribly sorry that giving a shit about raising our kids is offensive to you. I'd invite you to spend some time considering the difference between legacy childrens entertainment media and an algorithmically driven platform that has, at

I tried YouTube Kids a few years ago, the experience was not great - content isn't pre-screened, so weird stuff can slip through the cracks. It's also obviously not being maintained with a sincere attempt to solve the problems tha

Presumably the difference is that those 5 people really wanted to build OpenSea, where Coinbase staff were just assigned to projects.

They still require that your vault be hosted by them though. Terrible policy.

I agree with you, but I believe it is the case that Elon has previously described himself as a free speech absolutist, so this whole episode is exhibit 487 in the case for Elon having no idea what he's talking about.

Cut a free speech absolutist and a censorious fascist bleeds.

I would never run Norton, but if it was combined with Knuth... that's a strong maybe.

Bacteria obviously lack the capacity to panic about the emergence of multicellular life. A vast number of species are no longer around, and we are relatively unusual in being a species that can even contemplate its own demise, so it's

1Password has the same fundamental flaw that LastPass does - they insist on hosting your vault on their servers. That is a bad idea and you shouldn't use a service with that requirement. Use something you can self host, or have the cho

I think it would be fair to say he's able to see a bet that's worth calling early, and building hype for it. Those two together means that the engineers who are similarly early, want to come work for you. In a world with no electr

Imagine being him and sitting in his little billionaire playpen and having the choice of playing with the car thing, the space rocket thing, or the website thing and picking option 3. Literal space rockets. You couldn't tear me away fr

That would be the same Elon who made parody a bannable offence immediately after people started getting blue checkmarks on accounts making fun of him :D He doesn't care about free speech or Twitter, this is just a way for him to insert

I was referring to this tweet: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1591937998551130117 Elon shits on the product in public, team member defends their work, Elon calls the team member out on it, who by the way then

I'd remind you that Elon called out one of Twitter's engineers on Twitter for the Android app being slow. Professional conduct is clearly not a priority to him.

Expecting thousands of people to all agree that a huge change is a good idea, is kinda ridiculous though.

CarPlay and Siri is a pretty compelling pairing though. Looking/touching is dangerous while driving, so that is minimised by also being able to talk to the robot.

A high value is certainly an implicit outcome of taking this literally: "What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each othe

It's not proprietary, the connector is called 12VHPWR and it's specified by the PCI SIG.

by cmsj 4y ago
That's an interesting estimate ;) The 12VHPWR connector is actually rated for up to 600W.

a nice juicy fine would certainly make sure they wouldn't knowingly release fire hazard GPUs again.

They started this in the last generation where the founders cards had a different-but-similar connector. In this generation, they would actually need 4x8pin to reach the 600W maximum these cards are supposed to be able to draw in a fully ov
