it is just sad, really wish we understood the brain more and could help those who need it

i mean standard outlets have live neutral and ground, neutral and ground are ultimately both connected to the true ground in the earth, but neutral is the ground the current optimally flows through, whereas ground is just used for safety to prevent metal casings of devices from silently being connected to live or whatever. dont know how much of that applies to ev chargers but probably not too far off.

archive.is works for most news site paywalls

generally, it separates core functions of your phone from google, and lets you decide how much data to share with google via permissions (can be none, can be like stock android), just like any other app.

they also put lots of work into hardening the os against attacks such as the ones used by police and spyware companies to unlock phones, and are basically the only phone configuration consistently safe against those companies.

the day to day experience is pretty much the same as stock android, as long as you install google services. main issues with it (I have heard, I haven’t ran into these on my install) are some banking apps, and google pay doesn’t work.

its from terry davis, the schizophrenic talented developer who wrote his own OS (TempleOS) from scratch as one of gods temples or something, however he was pretty racist and delusional, so would see “glowies” of CIA agents or whatever trying to get him, and now the term is used for people suspecting others of being federal agents

i agree, although the debris definitely left the exclusion zone, as shown by the large number of flights impacted, and spacex setting up a found debris hotline.

you could buy some ip space and setup bgp to peer with hurricaine electric or a local exchange and then be an integral part of the internet, essentially being your own ISP.

in a year from now, ceo’s will probably have a bit more private security and do less walking around in cities at 6 in the morning alone. I agree with you on the rest though

it does look tempting, 3 extra main letters seems great, and no finger interference issues like on standard thumb key. just painful to give up the muscle memory i have now, but I’m sure it wouldn’t take too long to learn

wow! I am at 75ish wpm on english thumbkey (non split), over 100 is crazy

quite the sculpture

Those people injured while hiking, how many inches away were they from death? Trump was less than 6 inches easily. The actual injury is very lame, but if I narrowly escaped death by an inch or two I’d be freaking out too, especially if I had to continue doing what got me into that situation.

i really don’t like the idea of ground news though, they act all unbiased an etc and then tell you exactly how biased your media is and what to think about it, AND THEN summarize it with (surely 100% trustworthy and pure) LLMs.

how so?

people can easily shatter padlock shackles with ramsets, which are basically little blank round gunpowder powered hammers. not sure if a gun would, but sure seems like it.

also, the asteroid one is probably quite true, but saturns ring are between 10m and 1 km in thickness, so there are exceptions.

$1000 drone? likely less than 500$ even for a consumer, and ukraine does have some of its own production setup to drive costs lower.

our brain is a black box, we accept that. (and control the outcomes with procedures, checklists, etc)

It feels like lots of prefessionals can’t exactly explain every single aspect of how they do what they do, sometimes it just feels right.

AI and machine learning are very similar (if not identical) things, just one has been turned into a marketing hype word a whole lot more than the other.

one more potential source of interference is from the drone. analog fpv video systems are pretty sensitive to interference from the motors on the drone, and while it seems like the bad interference as in the footage would be fixed quickly, it is a common problem for hobbyists with analog fpv systems, so worth thinking about.

there is a demo for powerline maintenance that does just that! it only needs to hang on to one wire too. quite a bit bigger than the fpv attack drones ukraine is using though.
