There's no time dilation at warp. What are they even teaching at Starfleet Academy these days?

Yes there is. I used to fall for the same lie, but it's just not true. It's a question of system boundaries. Green CO2 was recently (in geological terms) captured from the atmosphere into biomass, that's why its release is ba

I was referring to the concept of "ceci n'est pas une pipe", and that even just digital forgery of an ID can constitute a crime that can be prosecuted independently from anybody suing. Of course I highly doubt they'd sue

Good question, IANAL. Obviously you can go further: What if you just draw up the whole thing with a pencil? What if it's an ID identifying you as a citizen of Nowhereistan? Where does freedom of artistic expression end and a forgery st

I suppose that's tongue-in-cheek? Otherwise I can only wish you good look in court with that defense. ;) In my jurisdiction, it's clear- cut: yes, that would constitute a forgery.

by shmeeed 8mo ago
At least where I'm from, the forgery or the possession of a forged ID is a criminal offense in itself, not matter the intent or whether it's actually used.

I'm sorry to say your conclusion doesn't hold. I'm not sure where exactly you went wrong, without trying to do the math my best guess would be that you just can't properly simulate a far-sight task in a near-sight enviro

Dear god. I'm not sure if I really wanted to know this. Warning: The article starts out funny, but contains some pretty graphic descriptions of medical complications towards the end.

I'm surprised it's such a big thing. Is this a style of ad common in the US? To me the whole premise always seemed ridiculously fishy. Why would a retiring artisan commission a Youtube ad campaign, of all things?

I'm not quite sure how you'd wire brush pass the pockets, and for a functional screw it doesn't make much sense anyway. Mind this is a screw for a press release macro photo. I doubt they're going to put the same effort i

Screws aren't cast. And lifting the toolhead takes about .1 second. What's expensive here is milling this screw head at all, and in particular the surface finish. This is probably just a prototype for shows, though. At scale, scre

Even the Library of Congress seems to have only the 1992 and 1993 editions (or maybe I'm just too dumb to search). Unfathomable.

Well, I guess these days there's just a sizeable chunk of users on HN that earn their living with AI, one way or another. It's really only natural that some of them get thin-skinned if you shit on their lawn. I'm not a fan of

To me that sounds a bit like summaries made on the base of written movie scripts. A long time ago, I read a few scripts to movies I had never watched, and that's exactly the outcome: You get a rough idea what it's about and even g

Cool story. But the sad truth is, even after reading the article, I can't tell why any space agency should be interested in helping to bring the spacecraft back. Besides a certain curiosity about whether it's achievable at all, th

I imagine depreciated AI features will be like the soft varnish surfaces of some 90s cars after 10 years - disgustingly sticky, shedding flakes left and right, and in hindsight an obviously stupid idea that wasn't tested sufficiently b

22.2 gave me problems on a laptop with Nvidia. Didn't try it for 22.3 yet, I'll give it a go then... though I wonder what Gnome libs do for Cinnamon?

Wayland on Mint is still experimental, and will be for years to come. I've yet to hear from somebody using it. Are you the one? ;)
