I watched a documentary a while back on the Salton Sea. It touched on the local residents that live in the area and how the dust affected the children. There were even plans of tapping into Mexico’s Laguna Salada to help keep the Salton Sea

Maybe I’m too stupid to understand this sentence: “ A stupid man is born a stupid man by an act of Providence.” How is being born stupid and act of providence? How can parents willingly have the foresight to spawn a stupid person? Isn’t it

Lorenz Equations and Chua Circuits probed with an analog oscilloscope is mesmerizing! Great videos of a Chua Circuit being probed with an analog scope… Also, plugging the circuit to a speaker via AUX port gives white noise ;)

It’s a process to come into a high radiation area, as well as, a process to come out; I’m sure the worker was not injured so they processed he/she out and decontaminated the individual and did a whole body count. Then release him to me

I’ve heard of people falling into the spent fuel pool but never the reactor pool. Usually there are strict FME barriers in place and one cannot even look over into the pool without violating the FME. I wonder what led to the event? Definite

The difference is there’s two options; to scan and bag your own stuff or go to a human(s) that can scan and bag your stuff. If the former catches on then we/you will be doing the “menial job” of bagging and scanning our own stuff all t

Being that it’s an SSD it’s already encrypting by default. You just have to set the User and Admin password and you’ll have full disk encryption! You can set HDD/SSD password via the BIOS/UEFI or (my preferred method) using HDPARM

You can disable the RFID by manipulating the right bits in the ECU’s anti-theft EEPROM. Something that’s done with imported engines from Japan for sports car engine swap; they usually come with wire harnesses and ECU but no key. I know how

Does that title seem like a cluster to anyone else? I tried rewording it in my head but only came up with a slightly better solution: “Man develops rare condition after cutting consumption of salt do to a ChatGPT query”.

I recall being on a road trip and was at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains; was getting ready to camp at a random camp site and noticed a sign warning or squirrels that carry bubonic plague via fleas… Scary..

It’s nice to see what a little bitwise manipulation can do(XOR)! Low level programming is always fun!

Awesome technology! Nice to see Dead Reckoning being used with computer vision and offline maps! Something college students have been doing in robotics competitions here in the USA ;)

Great wiki page! It even mentions Boltzmann Brains! “ This infinite future could allow for the occurrence of massively improbable events, such as the formation of Boltzmann brains.”

Electrical schematics can be represented with linear algebra and Boolean logic… Maybe their being able to “understand” such schematics is just a matter of them becoming better at mathematical logic…which is pretty objective.
