@simcity99 would be fun hah

who wants a devkit?

@blind_via gotta read the fine print, pretty sure it's not just "did it rain" it's "did it rain X amount according to Y source"

Planning a vacation during the monsoon season, this is worth taking just because it is very likely to be rainy 😁

I say it every time but *nobody* does cameras like SpaceX

SAY WHATTTT!!!!!!!! Okay yeah thats the best view of all time 🤯

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

First PCBs arrived for one of our UAP detectors. Digging the purple @eldaeonuap

Dear algo, just because I liked one post doesn’t mean I want to see that same topic forever. Pls fix, thx.

SendCutSend? Nah, ChudCutChud.

DUDE WHAT IF YOU MADE THE LOGO SOMETHING YOU CANT EVEN CUT OUT OF SHEET METAL BROOOO

@Joemack1369 @bitchuneedsoap @DataRepublican dark mode?

@bitchuneedsoap @DataRepublican Why are these so-called screenshots always in black but every screen I look at the background is white?

Internal screenshots from a TCS team this morning. Employees discussing approved claims that never got paid. One reports escalation with no response. Quote: "looks like they frozen the payments..." The pattern is documented. In Das v. Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. (2024), an employee sued TCS under the Illinois Wage Act for unpaid commissions. TCS argued the plan's "discretionary" disclaimer language meant the commissions weren't a contractual obligation. The district court agreed. Translation: TCS approves the commission, books it as part of the comp package to recruit and retain you, then refuses to pay it and points at fine print. Background: 2013: TCS settled a $30M class action over allegedly taking employees' tax refunds and deducting their Indian salaries from US pay. 2023 to present: EEOC investigating dozens of complaints from American workers alleging discrimination during layoffs in favor of South Asian H-1B visa holders. 2024: California federal jury found against TCS in a separate discrimination class action. 2025: 7th Circuit reviewed the Das appeal. Illinois precedent suggests "discretionary" disclaimers may not defeat Wage Act claims. This is the same TCS being investigated by the EEOC for discriminating against the very American workers it now refuses to pay. The pattern across these cases is consistent: TCS uses the legal infrastructure that protects sophisticated corporate actors and the wage infrastructure that fails individual American workers, simultaneously. I have the screenshots. I have additional sourcing. More to come.

@t3nable @ChaiDeluxe quite literally, I pulled my receipt out when I saw this pricing change

@ChaiDeluxe a 10X increase from 2012

I was just telling my parents how this is only $200 and totally worth it LMAOOOOOOOO fuck off

I loooove lithium.

@JGuaq @boxcardavid I think it’s a “I bought the old model right before the new one came out” reference.

@boxcardavid I’ve been staring at this post too long. I don’t get it

I bought an iPhone on Sept. 1st, AMA

@CoastalGekko @Fillynillyswily @Ron4California @googlemaps @Google Censored for me in the flyover states.

@Fillynillyswily @Ron4California @googlemaps @Google Are you in California?

Holy crap it’s true. @googlemaps just censored the Palisades Fire. Houses now appear intact in their pre-2025 state.

@t3nable You just know those are never gonna ride right after that.

I would return that shit so fast

@CalebChamberla6 Yup, I could totally see it being just overfitting on the model as well. Hopeful that they aren't faking anything though!

@Neon_Bots Yeah. Could be something human operators did while generating training data. Fair to be suspicious, though.

tbh, this is extremely cool and impressive. It's an open question whether a robot with dozens of actuated axes is the optimal choice almost ever, but still. Extremely cool.
