I didn't mean to say all hiphop is like what I mention. I'm 100% sure that hiphop also does sampling in really interesting ways, I'm just not as familiar with the examples. This was not not meant as a diss, and I wasn't

I agree. My problem with AI produced media is that a lot of the things I've seen are really bad. If someone uses AI, but has taste and takes the time to curate and fix the output, then the output can be fine. Just like with digital eff

Why would snorting be so much worse than just swallowing the pill? The goal is to get the chemicals in the blood. Snorting apparently works quicker, giving you a stronger but shorter lasting effect. But the difference is not night and day.

The first two is the same article, but they point out that certain structures can be very hard to write in rust, with linked lists being a famous example. The point stands, but I would say the tradeoff is worth it (the author also mentions

> My ISP provides me with upto 8 ipv4 addresses if I want them. It's great that your ISP does that. Mine doesn't, maybe it would for an extra charge if I got some kind of business account. Which makes sense, as the IPv4 address

From my quick tests, it seems to rebuild the OpenSCAD objects using FreeCAD part workbench primitives. But I also quite quickly found examples that don't work. I don't know if that's the import not being very good, me finding

I would argue that having to pay more than $20 for an address, having to do weird NAT hole punching to get a direct connection between two machines, and having an internet that can easily be completely scanned by hackers are all things that

If you're talking about CAD in general I can see your point. For FreeCAD specifically, there looks to be an OpenSCAD import process directly. I don't have experience with how it works, but that may be better than going through STL

From the article: >I expect a few because humans generally have a crash, whether they are at fault or not, every 700,000 miles. Tesla has 7 in probably ~300,000 miles, which should be worrying to anyone, whether the Robotaxis were respon

Yes, but to make it worthwhile you need a lot of data and the price scales linearly. Let's say my phone gets $10 cheaper because of all this crap ware. If you have the aggregate of 1000 people that cost someone $10000. Is that really w

For me FSD means they are legally allowed to operate it on a public road with no supervising driver. Obviously no crashes ever isn't expected. Even roller coasters have accidents sometimes. Tesla will get there I'm sure. But I kno

I had a discussion with a colleague today. He claimed Tesla had Full Self Driving, and had for years, and they were the first. That's the message some folks believe. I look forward to telling him about this.

There are effective North Korean hacking teams. They seem to operate from China, but one assumes that there are ways to train North Koreans in this stuff before sending them abroad to do the work. I will agree that for most people in North

The worst distances you can expect are around 1.5m (comparing australia in 2001 when gps accuracy was improved to now). But that number can be hard to figure out if you don't have a tool that allows you to set the time of conversion :)

I think we're reading the same article differently. They start out by describing all the work that has been done by other people to make open source synthesis possible. Then they say they've added some well known, industry standar

When you release something as open source, a third party grabbing it and releasing it is explicitly something that can be done. I can't speak for them, so I'm not sure, but I feel like new FPGA suppliers coming around having open

I think this is one of those issues that only exists in theory, not in practice. If a company reports a bug in a clear and helpful way, it's probably going to get looked at anyway. Also, if a company cares enough about Wix to bother fi
