@d_feldman Kubernetes is just Docker with some automated deployment scripts on top. Docker is just chroot with some network and file system scripts on top. chroot is just cname with some command line interface on top. cname is just some Bell lab Plan9 engineers with LSD microdosing on top.

@cmvalentineb @NEI You hate it because it's clean and safe?

@NEI Well, the reason for number 3 *IS* numbers 1 and 2.

Good luck 🤷

@VikOlliver Have you considered using a vinyl record pick-up as a probe? They are mass produced, conductive and can be controlled in two axis if you drive the pick-up coils.

RepRapMicron does something useful! Here's a 50μm grid height map probe of the 'A' on an NZ 10c coin. Gory details and howto on blog & wiki: blog.reprap.org/2024/10/touch-… #reprap #3dprinter

@caroll19880404 @HopfJames This is misinformation promoted by the fossil fuel industry. Nuclear is the cleanest and safest source of power.

@HopfJames 😩 It is foolish to build a nuclear power plant in a poor country like Jamaica, where solar power and batteries are sufficient, which takes a long time, is dangerous and emits a lot of carbon dioxide.

Jamaica is expressing interest in nuclear, and wants to get started now on preperations necessary to be ready for new nuclear in the future. Article link in reply.

@richsheff @guardian They would use the £3 billion for shareholders dividends and c-suit bonuses.

@guardian I wouldn't lend em a penny..they're 16 Billion Gbp in Debt currently.. how tge heck will they pay this Xtra 3 billion back?.. Answer:they won't .

@Xowap @adrianbowyer If you could manipulate gravity/mass, turning it off for an object, any amount of energy would get it to the speed of light. Your object would experience no time, which makes doing anything difficult.

A better question would probably be whether or not we can control gravity at some point. My gut feeling is that the two are somehow connected, and anyways there is no way to send anything significantly big significantly far in a short amount amount of time if you can't do this (energy-wise). Then again I'm an engineer, not a physicist (and I slept through most of the relevant classes)

@adrianbowyer Nope. We would have tachyon wifi in every home but the only two types of elementary particle projects that got funded after 1950 were "I have no predictions but give me just one more energy level on this collider" or "untestable model of a universe made of symmetry and string"

@adrianbowyer It's purely a problem with academia funneling particle physics funding to ever larger colliders wich find nothing or people guessing physical constants with fancy math and not to exotic matter mass production for the consumer product industry.

@adrianbowyer Baryonic matter is always below C. Luxionic is always at C. Tachyonic is always above C. So the answer to your question is yes (once we have a Tachyon 3D printer), but such large objects could never experience slower than light travel.

@adrianbowyer Nothing in physics forbids FTL, such large scale objects are called tachyonic matter. However, they can't slow to the speed of light without infinite energy, so would need to come into existence at that speed or be flipped through extra dimensions, like in the movie Tennet.

@SpaceKate Humans could be shaken in space at 1G without putting a mechanical load on the hull if the number of astronauts being shaken is one more than the number of dimensions you wish to shake them through.

@SpaceKate One reason to have gravity in space is for human health, because some protein require a down to work and bones and muscles require load. It strikes me that it would be mechanically easier to shake the astronaut with a robot arm, giving a near constant 1G in random directions.

Molly McCormick from Vast - a relatively new (since 2021) company says that making a space lab is not trivial, and they are trying to do one with spin to create artificial gravity. Haven-1 won’t spin the majority of the time “we’re aspirational, not delusional”. #IAC2024

@GermanAtPompey I checked, the chair is now gone. The "stop wars" building in the photo is now being renovated, after the owners removed the windows for over a decade in an attempt to get permission to demolish and sell the land.

@AleksnderZajac @front_ukrainian They would not transmit on all frequencies all the time. They would block the video and controls of unknown drones that get too close. If they transmitted a powerful blocking signal constantly, a drone could be set to lock onto the transmitter.

@front_ukrainian From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. But on a more serious note, doesn't the jammer interfere with the drone controls?

@tomgauld @GuardianBooks I listen at 360%. It's odd that after doing it for a year I can not say if I am listening to a book at normal speed or compressed until the publishers jingle plays at the end of the book as a harsh cacophony mangled by the fourier transformer.

@wrkclasshistory The British Union of Fascists didn't go to Cable St. The Government routed their match through the jewish/immigrant area and the Government sent police to fight the residents.

#OtD 4 Oct 1936 the Battle of Cable St took place when Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists tried to march through East London. They were met by over 100k local workers who fought the blackshirts and the police protecting them, stopping the march workingclasshistory.com/2020/02/17/e35…

🇫🇷 FRANCE: 27g CO2/kWh 🟢 using 71% Nuclear, 13% Hydro and 11% Wind. 🇬🇧 UK: 246g CO2/kWh 🔴 using 37% Gas, 26% Nuclear and 14% Biomass. Provided by @ElectricityMaps, data is about live consumption for the past hour as of 03/10/24 08:36 Berlin's time.

@Stephen57908892 @WePlanetAus "Initial payoff periods" for solar is 2-4 years. Biomass I find in the area burns for hours. LOL Try again.

@WePlanetAus "Initial payoff periods" for nukes run 30-40 yrs. Renewables last 20. LOL Try again.

A new US Department of Energy report shows that nuclear combined with renewables and storage creates a lower-cost electricity system. After the initial pay-off period, nuclear power delivers very low-cost electricity, reinforcing that while nuclear requires a large upfront investment, it offers multi-generational value through affordable clean energy.

@WePlanetAus The report says that on a net-zero grid renewables and nuclear don't compete for customers. How can that be true? If nuclear can provide 100% of demand, for solar and wind to sell power the nuclear has to throw away potential capacity or prices go negative.
