Well, I'm sure the US military complex is excited to test whether they can swat these out of the sky with their expensive toys. Now they have a chance to try.

And the more Russia launches, surely that technology will improve

I too have a nearly perfect replica of this piece. I'm selling each piece, which is part of an extremely limited run of 1000 pieces in total produced this week on demand, signed and sealed in a Tupperware container for freshness, for $2,990 each, worldwide shipping is just another $299.

The buyer of chrome could make bing the default search engine and re-enable whatever broke Ublock origin (the ad blocker)

They could also cripple gapps and gmail a bit. It would also be harder for google to unilaterally develop new web standards.

That would no doubt consternate a few at Google and knee cap them forcing web shit down our throats that only improves their ad business.

Me too but here's one useful function:

Perhaps you are aware there is an ongoing event, say for example a football game, or an election, or an outage of your email service provider. You go to one of these "scream into the void" social sites, search on the topic, and learn what people are saying about it. Maybe someone knows what's really going on, maybe some of those people have some interesting insights and you engage with them, not unlike you and I are engaging right now. Others can observe, perhaps contribute, and after the event has concluded, everyone goes their own way. Hopefully in the end the interactions are beneficial for all.

Those kind of things have to be done in every single district and costs millions of dollars. Unless there's a probable chance, it's probably better to save the cash and use it for something that could get results in the future

I think it can also be informative when staff is choosing the competition.

If the business understands why those products are successful at solving whatever problem the staff is trying to solve, it may help management see either how they've misdefined the problem or screwed up the solution.

Both are probably good - eat your own dogfood and the competitor's too, haha.

There was only one, we're all still copying from him or her.

Pretty embarrassing if you're Musk

You're not wrong about the first part and the constitution, by way of how the votes came in, says Trump is the next President.

If that makes Biden derelict of his duty, however, that would be a leap because I don't think Trump has been convicted or otherwise held to account of anything that would be disqualifying.

If the sitting president can eliminate the incoming president because he believes him to be a threat then damn, were right back to where we started.

I too cannot read "MTG" as anything other than Magic: The Gathering

Where's this yhwh library, can I install it with pip? Seems like it could have potential for some of my projects.

 

Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.

In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.

I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.

This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.

Any ideas?

 

I'm in the process of hiring for a position and I have two candidates. It's a tough call because both are very proficient but each has some unique attributes. I thought I might ask ChatGPT's assistance with thinking it through.

I recorded myself talking through my thoughts on each one as I read through their resume and the Q&As that I've done with each. Then uploaded the audio file to the whisper-1 api for transcription (for this I'm using the OpenAI API).

Then I pasted the transcribed text into GPT4 and then prompted it with: "Above is my transcribed notes comparing two candidates for a position together. Help me think through this decision by asking me questions, one at a time."

ChatGPT proceeded to ask me really good questions, one after the other. After a while I felt like it had got me to think about many new factors and ideas. After about 22 questions I'd had enough, so I asked it to wrap up and summarize our next steps, to which it spit out a bullet-point list of what we'd concluded and, what steps we should take next.

I don't know if everyone is using ChatGPT this way, but this is a really useful feedback system.

 

This bike has a 10ah battery in the seat post and a 7 gear derailleur. Top speed is limited to 25km but I think it can be reprogrammed to remove the limit.

 

My project is a "breathing" white 12v LED strip controlled by an esp32 on a dev board, and switched with an IFLZ44N mosfet.

In my video you can see it working but also hear the power supply complaining.

I'm using the LEDC Arduino library which allows me to select the frequency and resolution for PWM.

If I set the frequency too low the whine is extreme, but at this setting it's the best I've been able to achieve, which is about 9000Hz. Unfortunately you can still hear the sound from across the room!

It is a cheapo solid state power supply that claims it can output 12v up to 25A. I tried my desktop supply and it emits some whine too, so I don't think replacing the power will totally fix this.

Is there a technique for tuning the frequency or even just masking it somehow?

 

I own a business that sells directly to customers we find through local Facebook and Google advertising.

Our profit model is just ok - the business pays its own bills but I don't feel that it's been worth my energy yet.

About 2 years ago I opened a retail shop in the city, decorated it nicely, but in a poorly located building that doesn't have much walk-in traffic and very little parking.

I'm considering relocating to an area that would be much better located for parking and walk-by traffic. Of course the price is higher, about twice as much.

I'm looking for advice about how to decide if this is a wise move. I don't understand which metrics are important for retail as I try to spreadsheet this idea, and my background is in e-commerce and services businesses.

I'd like to be able to make some educated assumptions about whether our sales will increase and by how much.

 

I live in a city where public transportation is overcrowded, there's constant vehicle traffic, and you can't depend on any commute time for a given day or hour. The average temperature is very high, so walking is a sweaty affair.

The only way I've found to make this city more usable is with an ebike and scooter. It's like the perfect vehicle for these conditions.

However, many people reject the technology and either choose their car or other forms of getting around.

Is it because it's not well understood, or seems too expensive?

I'm curious what sold you on the technology or what is the reason you're not making the leap.

 
 

Saw this come through from Octoprint remotely. It was an 8 hour print and died about at about the 7:15 mark.
