The main weight in an electric plane is a battery, and the energy density in that isn’t good enough yet, and it’s possible that it can’t be better with the current batteries we have, and we need a battery on a different set of elements


America against something.
The possibility of Trump launching military operation against Mexico, Canada, Denmark, China, or whatever his dying brain will come up with next is small, but not zero.
I don’t know what will happen if Trump will annex Greenland. I don’t know what will happen if he nukes Mexico. I don’t know what will happen if he puts military ships in China water to intimidate them into giving him money. But I can’t rule out this and many more idiotic actions of his.


Damn, you’re describing my literal worst nightmare. Humans are delightfuly diverse in their tastes


“Whatever you do, please don’t vote, America is lost and nothing to be done about it, it’s totally over, you cannot do anything, all parties are the same, please don’t vote”


The point is that under the best conditions up close centimeters away from your face you can just about see 0.1. And we’re talking 4 times that two meters away.
Text on the modern tv does look better though. Bu how much of that is that all the technology got better, colours are more uniformed, the light emmiters are more consistent, there is less dead space, etc.
It’s like that old gimmick with cameras and megapixels. Cameras were getting better, but not because the number of megapixels was bigger, still that’s the only number everyone cared about, so they started selling numbers that didn’t make any physical sence.


A bunch of people who will be voting against him are working class, and the insane US system is rigged against the working class so much, people can’t get a time off of their jobs to go vote.


Right? “Yeah, there is a scientific study about it, but what if I didn’t read it and go by feelings? Then I will be right and don’t have to reexamine shit about my life, isn’t that convenient”


If my quick calculations are correct, the 70 inches screen at 1080p has a pixel size of about 0.7 mm give or take, where 4k would be about 0.1-0.2.
0.1mm is a smallest size of a thing a human could potentially see under very strict conditions. A pixel smaller than a millimeter will be invisible from a meter away. I really, really doubt its humanly possible to see the difference from the distances a person would be watching tv.
The thing is, the newer 4k tvs are just built better, nicer colour contrast, more uniformed lighting, clearer glass, and that might be the effect you’re seeing


Yeah. The power of MD is that it’s lightweight, versatile, and not very restrictive. You don’t need to remember a lot, and the parser is dirt easy to implement.
The negatives are that it’s not very restrictive, nobody remembers what’s what, and the parser so easy to implement, everyone and their dog has one, and they’re all slightly different


The whole problem is because format doesn’t actually expects the space there, and it’s left to the interpretation of the parser


https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/
Putting a space is a good practice for compatibility because different software behaves differently. But the standard doesn’t specify it per se.


That’s not it though. Linux doesn’t have a problem with viruses, didn’t have it before, doesn’t have it now. Predicting that it’s going to start right now 20 years in a row isn’t a good idea refardless, and pointing it out is a right thing to do.
Which doesn’t mean it couldn’t really start one day.


It doesn’t matter if you can disable it by cutting a wire, it’s the same amount of security in this case.
There were of course alarms that you couldn’t disable by cutting an obvious wire, just like there are smart alarms that you can’t actually hack easily.


Do you seriously think old alarms were unhackable?


I absolutely don’t. Since we’re talking about bad cases anyway, I don’t trust a developer to be diligent in finding bugs in their code more than I believe they will try to make all the tests pass. And it’s easier and better for the ego to achieve that if you write shit tests that only cover cases that you know will work.


Devs are more invested in code they wrote themselves. When I’m writing tests for something I didn’t write, I’m less personally invested in it.
This, I think, is a very bad part of the problem and shouldn’t be happening regardless


My main problem with that, is that it actually doesn’t use the sources it lists. It does it sometimes, and other times the links have nothing to do with the generated text, and some of them might be also non existent, but because it’s not always wrong, it makes people complicit, nobody actually checks the sources, but believe it more because the links are there.
Yeah, but the thing is, I’m not really afraid about anyone else. If someone steals my laptop or finds it or whatever, I don’t really care about what they do with my docker cache. And I’m not a target of any particular hacker group. I just feel dirty when corpos train their LLM on my data to sell me useless shit back, so that’s kind of the only thing that I would like to avoid.
A lot of people learn nothing from their experience, you’re not alone in that
