Oh man you'd be shocked on Twitter. So many people have outsourced to AIs as arbiters of truth and reality. The number of "@grok is this true" "@perplexityai is this real" that pepper any post en masse is shocking a

This is the challenge. This is tiny and delightful, but most hosting systems are monsters from a compliance perspective not because of a hunger for bureaucracy but that content moderation is SUPER hard.

Yeah, but like other things, as long as the trolls stay in their corner, people tend not to bother them because better in a contained spot than anywhere else. Learning 7200kHz (and 14.313) is 4chan radio and to steer clear is a radio rite o

It's not collaborative, but this is what I love about Typora[0]. Click into a styled area and the styling becomes visible. Click out, and you just see the final styling. [0] https://typora.io/

I think log-don't-enforce and per-client block profiles are probably basic to people who work with networking regularly, but are probably pretty far out of reach for the average home user who are probably needing to expand their networ

Though, in some cases (like when it's your bank saying it), it's usually just them frontrunning reliable (coming from a payroll provider) and predictable (getting paid the same time each month) ACH transactions with a near-zero li

A QR code is just a series of square pixels, and whether the pixel is black or white contributes to the data. This has two QR codes, essentially overlayed one on the other. Some pixels are half black/half white, so depending on the ang

I think it's part art of prompting, and part problem scope -- they're not gonna get you a super polished final product without a LOT of support (yet), but they excel at rapid I-don't-care-what-the-code-looks-like-just-get-me-

Keep lab notes! I keep detailed daily notes of what I've learned, code I've run, what my todo list is, etc. in markdown. Getting in the daily habit helps you not go "eh I don't need notes for this" and is a GODSEND

This was one of my favorite exercises in my introductory C classes in college. I'm gratified to see other people with warm and enlightened reactions to implementing something like this; it was a monumental and eye-opening assignment fo

I also found my printer (Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro) to be flawless for about a month until it started needing more conscious levelling and bed cleaning between prints, started getting fussier about temperatures (ended up replacing a possibly fau

I don't know that I'd argue that "consumer" 3D printing, as in a printer at home that just churns out a part when you want it, is even really hear yet, certainly not in the way that a dishwasher or lawnmower is. You need

Ah, there are many folks out there much more personable and engaged with PotA/SotA than I. One of my favorites is K6ARK who is a great watch for antenna design, *otA, CW (morse) and more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Yup, I'm not a big one for ragchewing (holding long, full conversations over radio) but I really enjoy the combination of tech and outdoors. The idea of scoring points for climbing hard mountains and getting tech up and running out the

Haha the fishing rod is actually a mast for my antenna; I'm not much of an angler myself. Collapsible telescoping fiberglass rods are light, cheap, and an easy way to get a reasonably stable point 20 feet up in the air :)

Fascinating video! One of my favorite train vids is a Taurus starting up in frigid conditions. As the wheels slip and the PWM modulation on the individual motors varies to keep traction, it makes beautiful music. https://www.yout

I would argue it certainly does — heat/cold is comfort vs injury. Pressure is massage vs. crush injury. Trauma, I suppose, is definitionally bad. Repetitive motion is muscle mass and strength increase vs RSI. Exertion is cardiovascular

Well, that's not entirely correct — amphetamines even for people without ADHD are still going to cause stimulation, euphoria, etc. Albuterol (Ventolin) is still a beta 2 agonist whether or not you have asthma, and exercise-induced bron

While this paper is perhaps is a bit of an overfitting of the concept of generative weights, another fun take is Evo-Devo[0], an acapella overview of evolutionary developmental biology. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y

I think the commenter's point was that a model for detecting events caused by advanced tech before we even get our space exploration training wheels off would be a funny irony.

Not the OP, but my library management is 90% tagging, format conversion, metadata fetch and editing, and format tune-up (font subsetting or stripping fonts, fixing covers, etc.). Virtual libraries keep me organized based on tags.

This study would certainly seem to indicate that this is at least true in some form — the study shows that parts of the brain that are typically very well correlated with each other (one fires then the other fires, or they fire together) co

This concerns Functional Connectivity[0], which is basically a measure of how temporally correlated regions are; those that fire in sync or in a strongly correlated pattern are functionally connected. Essentially, the TL;DR of this study is
