@StarMazo @cenkuygur it’s antisemitic to be against the displacement of people from their homes?

@cenkuygur Don’t you have something else to write about? Only Israel? You are one of the biggest antisemitic person living today and this is how history will remember you.

What’s amazing is that the Israeli press reports freely about Israeli government’s genocidal plans, which they don’t hide at all! But the American media is so scared of Israel’s thuggish supporters in US that they won’t tell you Israel is planning to steal all this land.

@malavemark @micah_erfan it’s not meant to be proportional?

@micah_erfan The VA map is 10-1 in a state that barely won by less than 3%. How is that remotely proportional?

“Democratic gerrymandering is worse than Republican gerrymandering.” Colorado is a deep blue state. Its Congressional Delegation is 4/4. No red state would ever do something like this.

@stevehaag81 @Hilbe the parking sensor accuracy has been significantly reduced. always yells at me to stop when there’s plenty of space left

I have no complaints with teslas approach. It manages to pull into my driveway apron head on, that is perpendicular to the garage and then perfectly back into the garage space that is often full of different items. It sucked in the early days but it seems to be dialed in now. Will be interesting to see how the R2 handles the same with radar.

Rivian deleting the ultrasonic sensors from R2 reminds me of when Tesla did it a few years back. However, Rivian instead is still relying on corner radars whereas Tesla is purely vision based obstacle detection.

@aakbak06 @PollTracker2024 what class?

@PollTracker2024 she teaches at georgia tech, i had her this semester 😸 really nice lady

Melody Jackson, the wife of GOP candidate for Georgia Governor Rick Jackson, donated $1,000 to Senator Jon Ossoff's (D-GA) re-election campaign last February.

@bbCaulk @BUNNIMODER solar would not be the sole source of electricity though

North Carolina alone would need 170 square miles of solar panels just to break even with current use. Don't even get me started on the batteries needed to provide electricity at night and the complete rebuild of the electrical grid. There is no economy of scale. There is choice. People are free to purchase electricity or generate their own.

this is literally exactly why we don't have solar because electricity prices go negative when you build enough and it not longer becomes a scarcity you need to pay 3 billionaires for access to

@bbCaulk @BUNNIMODER economies of scale? far more efficient for the grid to adopt it

@BUNNIMODER Absolutely no one is stopping you from buying solar panels and batteries. You can literally go buy a house and install solar panels. Your hate is surpassing your stupidity.

@zackslab @emm0sh technically speaking yeah but it fits within the frame of the laptop. no need for dongles, you have exactly the ports that you need. it’s a more elegant solution.

@ufinityy @emm0sh but... the card just plugs into an internal USBC port. so... it's just USBC. basically everything you want is already in USBC form factor from 1000s of companies. you go with framework cards and you're pigeonholed into 1 company and it makes your laptop really thick.

the new framework hardware looks great. some thoughts judging from the release images: it looks like they replaced the pogo connector design for the keyboard. big win — it hurts repairability but the flex ZIF connector is going to remove the failure mode some saw due to fretting corrosion. keyboards see lots of cyclic loading and it was asking for it. i do think they could have made it work with a preload design but that would have added complexity and cost expansion cards still have their own housings. this confuses me — you lose the thickness (probably ~2 mm per wall) in terms of packaging inside of the laptop if you can remove the housing and just rely on sealing the module to the enclosure with the snap-fit preload you could get at installation. the expansion card housings could be “throwaway”. whenever they replaced one, they’d simply re-use the temporary housing of the new card they’re installing. this would buy ~4mm in z-height for the laptop. not huge, but it adds up. i know backwards compatibility matters, but, still worth seriously considering the big battery is good. i like it. making the design decision of “this is going to take the bottom third of system Y, design around it” is great. makes it easier to source upstream suppliers when you don’t need non-rectangular batteries. this type of decision is a positive indicator of framework of an organization. claiming space like this is hard in orgs where there are lots of cooks in the kitchen

@WallstreetTra13 @JamesTate121 private run healthcare is intrinsically against the interests of the individual. They are incentivized to maximize profits, not provide adequate care. Preventative healthcare is seen as a loss of future revenue

@JamesTate121 Having a government run healthcare not great. Theres no competition. What is Denmark known for when it comes to healthcare and pharmaceutical innovation ? Zero

You can’t really argue this. They believe in investing in the people and infrastructure.

@zackslab @emm0sh not everything is usbc?

@emm0sh i don't really get the point of the cards. just... plug your thing into usb-c.

@BigDaddy91505 @Baylor more so the fact that you can’t access any study materials

@Baylor Don't they have those blue books anymore?

NOTICE: With Canvas down at the national level, Baylor University will delay final exams tomorrow (Friday, May 8, 2026). More details: provost.web.baylor.edu/news/story/202…

@DrNeilStone why don’t we let them do whatever they want? let natural selection play its course

Oh dear Lord

@MystikalPizza @Normal_n_Online @constans @DanFriedman81 oh damn how tf are these 250k?? is it the land cost

@ufinityy @Normal_n_Online @constans I've gotta clear things up here. That building on the U of I campus is a super well insulated and sturdy modular structure. The units in LA are shacks by a highway overpass as @DanFriedman81 had pointed out elsewhere. They're the housing equivalent of La Sombrita bus shelters

By any measure, $250k/unit is pretty good.

@Normal_n_Online @MystikalPizza @constans The uiuc apartments vary from studios to 4 bedrooms.

@MystikalPizza @ufinityy @constans From what I understand, these units are all fully self contained so each has its own kitchen, bathroom, etc. which is going to skyrocket the price compared to what is essentially a dorm with a communal living spaces. Unless I'm wrong and these are all apts too?

@horsemankukka @PapaStew80 @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek No, adding another axis doesn’t have to increase the numbers of dimensions. It just gives you more freedom in translating the toolhead. 6DOF means translation in xyz and rotation in xyz

@PapaStew80 @ufinityy @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek ah so a 5-axis printer that has a regular filament head would then be 4.5D? and so would you describe this -0.5D notation an informal but common term in the more general "3D printing & stuff" sphere? x.com/i/status/20520…

Why are circuit boards 2d instead of 3d

@horsemankukka @PapaStew80 @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek strictly speaking this is all jargon, obviously 2D is planar and 3D is non-planar. The 0.5 is just used to make a distinction from a fully free 3D process. A 5 axis printer still only prints in 3D, but now the nozzle can be tilted and positioned with much more freedom

@ufinityy @PapaStew80 @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek what "D" is a 5 axis printer? i'm seeing them called 5D but seems they still print additive layers even though they can go to other directions as well so surely at least some of the D's must be half D's?

@MystikalPizza @constans if this is student housing it probably refers to units as individual rooms. for example a 4 bedroom apartment would be listed as 4 units

@constans This was 4 million all in

@PapaStew80 @horsemankukka @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek non planar printing! and 5 axis printers are sick

@horsemankukka @ufinityy @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek Not sure if language barrier, but there’s no reason to be annoyed. In terms of the distinction being relevant, it’s just a more accurate description of the process. Is it a bit granular? Yeah. There *are* truly 3d printing processes that are quite cool though if interested

@horsemankukka @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek imo yeah parts aren’t fully isotropic (obviously this is more vibes than actual terminology)

@ufinityy @regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek does that make 3d printers 2.5d printers then

@regnad_kcinn @ZachWarunek that’s more 2.5d than anything tho

@ZachWarunek They are 3D; have been for decades. There are 20, 50, and even 100-layer boards with paths running in all directions on every layer.

@davepl1968 @SnazzyLabs @whatsinside @elonmusk @SpaceX alaska’s population density is also much lower no? you don’t feel the same effect

Ah, makes sense. I'm from Saskatchewan, which has the topology of a billiards table. You can watch your dog run away for two days. You should visit because you can see the whole province by standing on a chair. Suffice to say, up there, they just burn coal and let the people downwind worry about it. And did I mention it's always windy? So convenient. The Saskatchewan jet stream is like the Ganges in the sky.

Massive data centers being built in my state. I really hope @elonmusk and @SpaceX can move fast on data centers in space. The speed of Ai is ramping up compute so much that I can’t imagine the environmental impacts on our earth are very positive.
