Yeah, just look at the eastern block countries - corruption was everywhere and considered totally normal. So much that it eventually brought the whole thing down. But it still left a deep mark on people - people who grew up under the old

Yeah, should be trivial to solder it back on or with wires to a USB-C breakout board.

On the end of the day, it is the state that issues these ID documents. So if you let the government go bad, IMHO the form of the documents does not matter that much. During the totalitarian communist rule in Czechoslovakia, the state would

And all of these things can easily go wrong with this halfbaked "AI" technology - getting thow wrong tickets you can't cancel, loosing all your money due to bot buying random titanium cubes & deleting your emails!

I don't think regular people did any 180 degree turns. Rather big corporations again demonstrated their total hypocrisy where they on one hand stomp on people for "infringing their intellectual property" while at the same tim

Turns out depending on a cloud service you have no control over for a critical capability - such as coding - is not a good idea. ;-)

Cloud is just other peoples computers - they can and will go down as well. And even worse if its just a few computers run by a few people - as they will bring down many others depending on them.

So copyright is now effectively dead ?

Do Real Engineers use AI agents ?

by m4rtink 1mo ago
I would not have a problem with that. :)

I predict they go bankrupt.

Do you believe Gemini will costs the same in 45 months or even exist, given Google track record ?
134.
by m4rtink 1mo ago
Don't we already have that source in the form or modern solar panels backed by battery storage ?

by m4rtink 1mo ago
Just say its the agent itself watching it to learn and expand its AI model and BAM its totally clean fair use!

NRO donated 2 of these mirrors to NASA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_National_Reconnaissance_O...

BTW, any idea what happened to the second mirror? IIRC NASA got 2 initially.

I wonder if it could run LoRa chip & MCU long enough to send. MeshCore message. :)

Here in the Czech Republic it is also very noticeable - rivers are running noticeably low and I've seen smaller streams dry out completely. Many trees ore getting orange or shedding leaves. Also quite interesting sometimes what plants

Its certainly the wrong choice if by all indications the R is apparently missing in your ROI.

I have been using something like this for 10+ years by this point - still wonder why it is not default or easier to do than a custom gitconfig/alias hack. :P

Singapore is basically a family run dictatorship city state - hardly any of what they do could or should be replicated elsewhere.

I understand this setup was likely necessary to get countries to join initially, but it no longer makes sense & should be abolished, with all power of the commission given to the parliament.

So maybe not build a non deterministic black box that can't be reasoned about ?

That's never gonna work due to battery size, which dictates maximum flight time. Static coordinates or well defined target shapes (say you really hate a specific restaurant chain on architectural style) - that might work, if you releas

We made some commemorative coins from lead, melted in a microwave oven & poured into silicone mold. The mold was created from a 3D printed mandrel.
147.
by m4rtink 1mo ago
Well, that is going at the problem from the wrong direction - you should use a 3D printer not to print everything, rather to print tools and fittings to manufacture what you need from local resources. In this case for example a saw making

Unless you have some super-science auto-fab this is basically a tourist with better equipment, fully dependent on normal society for all the tech and its maintenance.

Aww, you don't get it - steam trains are so cool! :) Just don't get the embers into your eyes and it will be fine. :)

Maybe the whole article is vibed as well, explaining the lack of consistency?
