@MagneticNorse Imagine landing there only to discover that you are above your hover ceiling due to density altitude.

This is the entire reason men learn to fly helicopters

@Rightanglenews I suspect that even infants are far more intellectually capable than they are able to express with language. The boy probably already knows intuitively what the concept of a reprobate is, having had two of them foisted upon him.

Two gay men in Nashville are sparking nationwide outrage after recording a video of themselves mocking the baby they had via surrogacy as it cries for its mother for content. Man: “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” Baby: “Mama” Man: “No, there is no mama.” Baby: cries

@dhh @levelsio At the same time as recreational laughing gas bottles are strewn all over the place with no intervention.

@levelsio It's really bad in Denmark too. The degrowth/net-zero nonsense has sunk into the unconsciousness to a degree where they don't even notice or question the insanity. Like laughing gas being discouraged for births because of CO2 impact??? dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…

When I meet most Europeans these days I wanna shake them and shout WAKE UPPPPPPP They're all captivated by the mind virus My Dutch friend said he's doing great because he has no kids so he's not a "big burden on society" eco wise My French friend said she avoids flying at all cost to save the environment WAKE UP!!!!!

@mordownik4u Are you absolutely sure that this is a woman?

21-letnia Polka naprawiła błąd w Linuksie starszy od niej samej! Kamila Szewczyk, studiująca w Niemczech, podczas zwykłej pracy nad materiałami akademickimi odkryła i naprawiła bug w menedżerze okien Enlightenment E16, który istniał od 1997 roku. Problem? Przy zbyt długich nazwach plików (np. PDF) pulpit się zawieszał w nieskończonej pętli. Kamila dodała limit iteracji + ochronę przed dzieleniem przez zero i błędnymi obliczeniami.

@AssBread3 @OwenBenjamin I find that explanation much less credible than the official one of passive aerodynamic stability, which fits more with how we build every single other flying vehicle.

@OwenBenjamin re-entry capsules have what's called RCS thrusters, or reaction control system. it's small angled jets that are used to orient the vehicle and stabilize it.

So an object shaped like this hits earths atmosphere going 25,000 mph and slows down over hundreds of miles. Quick question. How do they know it won’t start spinning like a bullet or tumbling like a football? Those are the options. That’s why there’s rifling on guns so it spins creating a straighter shot. I only want answers from people who truly believe their answer is accurate. No sarcasm from people making fun of it. There’s been a sarcasm/real singularity recently and I actually can’t tell the difference. Go! Debunk me! Btw minimal spin or tumble would turn the inside of the capsule into a blood blender

@rjheathfield @OwenBenjamin I know what a thruster is, it just seems dumb to use in the atmosphere instead of an aerodynamic solution.

@yipopov @OwenBenjamin Do you know what a thruster is?

@temporaryphs @mikecarruthers9 @OwenBenjamin @RMetzEsq The official explanation sounds a lot more credible than firing thrusters the entire way down.

@mikecarruthers9 @OwenBenjamin @RMetzEsq At the top. They dont need to be very big as its not trying to decelerate. This wouldnt be exit velocity size boosters.

@OwenBenjamin I’m not married to the idea of space flight being a real thing that happens, but this kind of “out of a universe of possibilities only the one or two scenarios that I thought of that just so happens to support my hypothesis are possible” question begging is quite tiresome.

@mebeim @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 It’s fine to argue that Anubis is a bad idea, but when you’re doing exactly what Anubis asks you to do, are you really bypassing it?

@yipopov @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 lock.cmpxchg8b.com/anubis.html

And we just accept that the official Linux Kernel website makes you sit and stare at some kind of anime cat girl nurse thing (IDK, I don't watch that stuff) before letting you see a kernel source file.

@Amalgamyte_VT What causes this slack-jaw trait? Even most people with Down Syndrome look brighter and seem to have more mental acuity than this.

This look. This look right here. The slightly open mouth, coupled with the glaring eyes, demonstrating the lack of comprehension as to why he's being yelled at to stop. But that's because he can only understand one thing in this moment, and that is anger for being forced to stop

@SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 No. I don’t want that shit in my browsing history.

@yipopov @scriptjunkie1 click on the link and stop pissing around?

@mebeim @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 I wouldn’t exactly call attacking SHA-256 trivial. Maybe Anubis reuses the challenges, but that would be a really stupid mistake with the equally trivial countermeasure of simply generating a new challenge every time.

@mebeim @SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 How so? I read the description of how it works, it looks pretty solid.

@days_differ @Catullus_Vincit @qualitylearnc Even George Floyd?

@yipopov @Catullus_Vincit @qualitylearnc Male inspiration only reaches as far as eating cow's asses, and commiting suicide.

This is proof that men create civilization and if it were up to women we would be living in mud huts.

@SeedVEVO @scriptjunkie1 They couldn’t help themselves but to put noncery in it too. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

@scriptjunkie1 anubis was added to combat spam from companies like openai social.kernel.org/objects/1bb841… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anubis_(s…

Planes don’t land with radar for lateral positioning, just vertical, and vertical is a non-issue for cars. Also, cars can slow down. Fog too dense to solve with vision would, just like ILS, require special road infrastructure. Which already exists, it’s called taking the train (with cab signaling). People already don’t drive when they can’t see the road, and it’s rare enough that it’s not a problem worth throwing a lot of resources at.

@brivael @ZeClint Aber wie mit dem Nebel umgehen? Bei end to end vision könnten Flugzeuge heute noch nicht bei Nebel landen.

Aujourd'hui grosse discussion avec mes ingés (chez Argil) sur pourquoi Elon a viré le LIDAR de ses voitures autonomes. Choix radical, moqué pendant des années, et comme d'hab il avait raison depuis le début. Le LIDAR c'est un laser qui balaye l'environnement et crache un nuage de points 3D. Sur le papier tu obtiens la géométrie exacte du monde. Dans la vraie vie c'est une verrue technologique collée sur le toit parce qu'on sait pas faire mieux avec la vision seule. Problème numéro un : ça rajoute une modalité dans le training du modèle. Ton réseau doit apprendre à fusionner vision + lidar + radar + ultrasons. Chaque capteur en plus c'est une source de désaccord à arbitrer, pas une source d'info supplémentaire. Sensor fusion artisanale = dette technique permanente. Problème numéro deux, la bitter lesson de Rich Sutton : scaler le compute sur une seule modalité bat systématiquement les architectures bricolées à la main. Tesla a dropé le radar, puis les ultrasons, est passé full end-to-end vision. Leur courbe sur les edge cases s'est accélérée APRÈS, pas avant. Waymo fait l'inverse et reste stuck en ops géofencée. Problème numéro trois, le plus fondamental : le LIDAR voit la géométrie, pas la sémantique. Il sait qu'il y a un truc, pas ce que c'est ni ce que ça va faire. Les derniers 9 de fiabilité sont des problèmes de cognition, pas de perception brute. Un capteur de plus résout rien, il ajoute du bruit. Sébastien Loeb balance une 208 T16 à 180 dans un chemin boueux corse sous la pluie avec zéro LIDAR. Deux yeux, un cerveau. L'évolution a donné des yeux aux prédateurs pendant 500 millions d'années, pas des lasers. Il y a une raison. Le LIDAR c'est l'équivalent du marxisme appliqué à l'économie. Une solution planifiée, centralisée, qui prétend modéliser explicitement ce qui doit émerger d'un système distribué et adaptatif. Tu remplaces l'intelligence par de la mesure, la compréhension par de la donnée, l'émergence par le contrôle. Ça rassure les ingénieurs qui veulent tout spécifier en amont, exactement comme la planif rassurait les économistes soviétiques. Et ça échoue pour les mêmes raisons : la réalité est trop riche pour être capturée par un capteur, comme elle est trop riche pour être capturée par un plan quinquennal. La vraie intelligence, celle de Hayek comme celle de Tesla, c'est de faire confiance à un système qui apprend de l'expérience plutôt que de tout pré-encoder. L'élégance d'une solution c'est son rapport signal sur complexité. Le LIDAR explose le dénominateur. Défendre le LIDAR en 2026 c'est préférer empiler des hacks plutôt que résoudre le vrai problème. C'est de la feignasserie intellectuelle maquillée en rigueur d'ingénieur. Les mêmes gens qui défendaient les systèmes experts en 2012 contre le deep learning. Ils finiront pareil. Never bet against end-to-end. Never bet against la simplicité. Never bet against Elon.

@sircalebhammer I can’t help with that, but I’ve never heard of you and yet you’re followed by all my tech follows and all my trad follows, so I’m definitely checking out what it is that you do.

Friends- I need help. I keep getting TV/podcast invites from creators/channels that lean right, or are clearly on the right. I have NO issues with that- I’ll talk to anyone. But I NEED some left wing creators/channels to chat with for balance before I accept more. HELP!!!

@LawsonPowell4 @TaylorRMarshall What’s your point? Are you saying that the Pulp Fiction verse was the put there by the Catholic Church?

@TaylorRMarshall Why insert mortal men between you and Jesus? The Catholic Church should have been abolished 500 yrs ago. How many alter boys would be saved from sodomy?

Pete Hegseth recites fake Bible verse (Cesar 25:17???) that derives from PULP FICTION - not Scripture and asks people to pray it! Hegseth says the war with Iran is God’s will and is under Protestsnt (anti-Catholic) Pastor Doug Wilson. This is poisonous theology - reaching to Paula White levels.

@Coco_B_7 @TaylorRMarshall Are you sure that it’s not you who have a fake Bible? Many such cases.

@TaylorRMarshall The Pope recited a fake Bible verse yesterday and he’s the Pope!
