Don't let everyone get you down, I have one and it's extremely performant, even with games from the past few years. It'll work totally fine for stuff from that era.

I think they're just not well understood by most people. 1000Kg is a small car. 1Mg is...who the fuck knows. You can tell someone a building weighs 1Gg but they're gonna stare at you funny until you tell them it's about 10

The CEO class isn't inherently smarter than you. In fact, they're pretty much the same as you, albeit frequently with more sociopathic tendencies. They do the same things you see average people on the street doing, including sub

50% is well within the engineering margin available too. Ultimately you can make 2 seaters that are a little bigger than existing ones but have the same range. Most Cessnas don't fly with full tanks all the time, people usually fill

None of these LLM type systems are really providing anything in the realm of fact checking so I'm not sure how the author is coming up with this? They predict words, they don't do context or logic...

So you kinda caught me here, I'm pulling my own vague spin on Cunningham's Law because in my industry (satellites) there has suddenly been some interest in using CAN for potentially fault-prone critical systems and this post caugh

I'm not an expert on automotive systems specifically, but in general with silicon level stuff like this when used in small, highly integrated systems, just having a PHY isn't nearly enough. Really, you want it to come baked into

Does anyone know the safety implications of a multi drop bus like this for safety critical systems? Typically if one device fails, it can bring the entire network down, hence why single drop buses have become popular for diverse networks

Sure, on paper this looks rational but there's some pretty extreme historical...context...between the two countries. It could be overcome eventually but I wouldn't put money on that universe making any more sense than our own.

It's from c.2005 but still doesn't make any more sense with that context

Actually read the article, not much to see here. Basically just some lofty prose on a Japanese defense strategy document but without much in the way of insight into anything going into the geopolitical situation. Also, the extremely forced

Click your name in the top right corner of the screen and set "Showdead" to yes. It's nothing particularly interesting, just the GPT rambling you're used to seeing that looks especially close to the opening of a 13yo ki

Interesting to see someone actually trying to build up an account with GPT like this. Brings back memories of watching script kiddies running wild in the early 2000s

Typically these burning lasers are in the infrared spectrum and it's pretty easy to block the entirety of that. Visible lasers, particularly very powerful ones, tend to only fall in a handful of wavelengths due to the way they work so

A laser this scale would mostly be an annoyance to infantry. Drones are mostly black plastic that immediately burns. Humans are mostly water and if you got hit with this, it would suck, but it wouldn't kill you and you'd have ple

Traditionally to fly a plane in the US you need A class 1, 2, or 3 medical. 1 and 2 are required for airline and general commercial ops respectively and they have various rates of renewal based on class and your age ranging from 1 to 5 yea

The run around is just "if you built more than half of it, you can be trusted to maintain it" which isn't really all that scandalous. It's actually been a very healthy thing for the GA industry in recent years given the

Eh, maybe. They both strike me as being medicated. There are two routes for those with ADHD who want medication and want to keep flying: A) Get a regular or Special Issuance class 3 medical, ideally before treatment but it's possible

When Facebook came around we all knew it would be a disaster, and it was. When TikTok/Instagram replaced it, we knew it would be worse, and it was. Now we have LLMs that vanishingly few people in the greater public actually understand

In this case there is very much intent. OP knows there isn't enough data to form a full model so is relying on stochastic death to get the model data, literally and knowingly trading lives for data. The intent is to kill people to fi

In fairness, there aren't a whole lot of ways left to run around corrupting the boot sectors on an entire network. Given current politics I'd rather have everyone learn how to enforce user access control in '05 rather than i

Pressurization is relative, aircraft can end up pressurized on the ground. Next time you fly, note the warning beacons in the windows of all the doors. They indicate the cabin is pressurized alerting rescue crews that attempting to open s

Looking back on that era, the hate towards hackers feels really misplaced. Yeah, at the time it was more local and more dominated by people doing it for the lolz but we kinda owe them a debt of gratitude. If they hadn't gotten everyon

I don't think this has been said enough recently. The ethics of what we're being asked to create is something we all need to consider. I have a lot of friends in tech and I'd say a majority of them have been confronted with

That seems like the kind of thing that shouldn't be broken all the time given how common of an issues this is. Perhaps it's not wise to rely on windows.
