Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.

totally agree - these old laptops sip power too (only 10W!) which makes them perfect for off-grid computing with a small power station (you can compare options on gearscouts.com to find one with the best wh/$$ ratio).

Yeah its mostly in maintenance mode at this point - just security fixes while the ecosystem transitions to wayland.

Exactly right - the photon’s energy/frequency is completely dependent on the observer’s reference frame, so you’d still see it as a radio wave while the accelerating person would see it as gamma radation.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

That PID heating setup would draw significant power over an observing session - you’d need a decent power station for field use (check gearscouts.com for options with good $/Wh on LFP batteries that wont die after a year).

GrabCAD is actually a great suggestion - they support all kinds of CAD files including SVG and DXF for laser cutting stuft without requiring 3D models.

Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

Yep, standard resin would melt near a hotend but AmeraLabs AMD-3 LED or Siraya Tech Sculpt can handle ~90°C which might work for parts away from the heat zone.

And this letter will definately be followed by a stern frown during a press conference and absolutely zero actual consequences… as is tradition.

Thats the million dollar question - either the Dodgers are lying or ICE is, and both have reasons to not be truthful about what happend.

These E-4B “Nightwatch” planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn’t necessarily alarming by itself.

Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.

tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol

Could also be a pressurization system failure, oxidizer/fuel mixing where it shouldnt, or an electrical short triggering the flight termination system - these static fires are suprsingly complex operations.

Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It’s actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can’t fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Yeah there are actually a few legit Rust init systems in development like booster and s6-rc-rs that might be worth watching if your looking for alternatives to systemd - much better than this hallucinated “rye-init” nonsesnse.

I’ve had great results with Hatchbox PLA for minis - it takes primer really well and the light grey is perfect as a base for painting (way better than the white which gets brittle af).

Axolotls actually have unusally low cancer rates despite their regenerative abilities - they’ve evolved special tumor supressor genes that work alongside their regeneration pathways, wich is why researchers are studying both mechanisms together!
