Why do you do this?

Federal minimum wage in 1965 was $1.25/h, which is $12.69/h today. Looks like Alaska had the highest state minimum at $2.10, $21.32 today. Or were you taking more average rather than minimum wage?

Do you not want answers? I didn't mind the question, I just think you need to refine what you're taking about.

What even is AI? You love diffusion based image generation? Global parameter transformer text generation? Good old fashioned optimizers? The category of AI seems to broad for your statement to make sense.

Over the last 6 years he's gained ~150B. That puts it at 410M per week on average over that time period.

They're just built with 1 by X bricks. But I kinda like that, it's not replacing anything a person would design. I think I'd prefer a program that would take a 3d model as in input instead of a text prompt, but both are cool.

I hadn't heard of this city before, it looks pretty cool!

More buildings

I wonder if this'd be the same as a map of drive times to a hospital. I guess this version more highlights the outliers?

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I would define more living or truly living as living the Good Life. What that looks like is the fundamental question of philosophy, but I think a component we haven't touched on yet is helping others. I don't think we should help other people because it gives us a happy experience, but because it fulfills who we ought to be.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I didn't think living=experiencing.

[–] JohnDClay 2 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I don't think that, but saying 'the purpose of life is to live' implies more life is more better.

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.

 

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?

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.

XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics

 

OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.

For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.

I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.

I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.

Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!

Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.

PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.

 

Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.

As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!

This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.

But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin. The Simarilian chapter 24
