Not voting for genocide, explained in c/[email protected]
[–] JohnDClay 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is this advocating voting third party? Because that isn't how first past the post works, third parties won't win.

Almost 500 carbon capture lobbyists granted access to Cop29 climate summit in c/[email protected]
[–] JohnDClay 3 points 5 days ago

Carbon capture is useful for making aviation fuel, and hopefully eventually plastic. But I'm guessing these people were suggesting carbon capture from polluting power plants?

Or use a laptop with a GPU? An npu seems to just be slightly upgraded onboard graphics.

I'm familiar with the BBC, but I don't know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I've seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I've never heard of the first one.

Really? How fast is the memory bus compared to x86? And did they just double the bus bandwidth by doubling the memory?

I'm dubious because they only now went to 16gb ram as base, which has been standard on x86 for almost a decade.

So which ones are those two? I'm not familiar with them.

But you can accelerate nural nets better with a GPU, right? They've got a lot more parallel matrix multiplication compute than any npu you can slap on a CPU.

I've been really enjoying playing minecraft on the steamdeck and I just realised you can record game play also so here is what I've been working on in c/[email protected]

That's really trippy! Great work

Meaning one's that didn't agree with Russia's official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

SpaceX engineers are overworked, but not really underpaid compared to the industry. But they should probably be paid more given the workload and hours.

Mechanical Hand Testing (www.youtube.com)
 

Ian Davis has been working since he lost his fingers to design and build a mechanical hand. He's now looking for other amputees to help him test the design. It's a really cool project, I love following his progress!

Changing Models of Villagers on Bedrock (self.minecraft)
 

Is there a way to get villagers with separated arms on bedrock? Would I need to write my own addon? I don't see anything built for that currently.

My end goal would be to get villagers to look like dwarfs, like this resource pack.

TIL computers can sometimes grow crystals (upload.wikimedia.org)
 

Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.

Apparently reddits nuclear subs are anti nuclear now, as they won't let this video be posted.

Tianlong 3 booster static fire test lifts off instead (youtu.be)
 

Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.

Stunning short film. Seems scarily plausible, we won't lose control of AI, the people in change just won't care enough to control it.

[Question] Digital additive sine wave synthesis from equations (self.musicproduction)
 

Anyone have tips on digital additive synthesis? I'm looking to define a curve for the overtone series to follow and generate and combine sign waves from that. Looks like there is a way in Python?

https://medium.com/@noahhradek/sound-synthesis-in-python-4e60614010da

Anyone have thoughts or experience with generating sounds in Python? Are there any artifacts I should watch out for? Is there an easier way to generate tones from equations for their overtone series? Thanks!

Another happy landing. I can't believe starship managed to land gently after burning half the flap off!

Just make sure to return them when you're done! Maybe even add a new one if you find one.

The one I used was very nice. Has a nice heft all the way down, and was very straight.
