Second that. RDX now has both an iphone and Android app, but the web version works fairly well on mobile too.

Finding the way from here to there is one of man's oldest jobs. He's quite good at it overall. In fact, had he not been proficient, your ancestry wouldn't have produced you.

Now, man is cooped up in a cubicle, or best case a small box with a transparent glass window view of his old world. Now he's asked to give long hours of "jumping on calls", "circling back", "thinking outside the box", and chasing the "low hanging fruit" all in exchange for tiny green pieces of paper.

He's standing in the shadow of his former glory.

For god sakes woman, let the man find the way today.

The video argues that where bike lanes have been installed, there has never been a decrease in the level of service for cars on the same road.

But I was having a hard time understanding why exactly that is and only heard one main point - the protected turn lane for cars that uses the parking area before an intersection.

Is that really it? Or has the article uncovered that lanes in NY were just way too wide to begin with and bike lanes have just managed to recover some of that wasted space?

Is there supposed to be more content on the article? It says it was the worst deal ever, names a couple banks that were involved, mentions that kind of deal is normal for them, and.... That is the sum of the article.

Was hoping there were some sad stories about how bankers were losing their yachts, etc.

I feel like we should at least consider that DJI is a mainland Chinese company and nearly all drone innovation in the past decade has originated there. They are no strangers to extreme manufacturing or advanced automated drone technology.

That is lightening strike "fuck you in particular" god energy

Hahaha if true it would be some poetic justice, but unfortunately these dweebs are already hanging out there half the time and loving the oligarch lifestyle, so unless that's taken away they will die happy

Yeah, if they are healthy companies they could snag some market share from one of Google's products.

Easier to kill them early.

I agree with your assessment. Politicians also live a life where somewhere around half of all people think they are making the wrong decision at all times, so unless they have conviction they flop around way too much to succeed.

Also, for all people who are getting old, it's their first time, and they have no idea what they might seem like to anybody else. It's like you have been getting back up after being knocked down your whole life and suddenly you can't get back up again.

The moment I start to think about meditating, my mind explodes with alternative ideas until I forget. In fact it's so efficient at not meditating, that even though I have time and space set aside for it daily on my calendar, some subprocess in my brain still often subverts the whole thing. It's a scary place before I get there.

But I have never once completed a meditation that I regretted. Even the meditations that are difficult to get through - usually because my mind is really jumpy - still feel like a nice piece of self care at the end.

I think the more routine the practice, the easier it is to start and better your mind becomes at focusing on your breath without allowing all the various stressors of the moment take control. And that is a powerful muscle to build up.

Wish the media would just start to ignore these, but instead they have to be there in case he says something incredibly FUBAR in which case they'll make a lot of money by sharing the news first.

I thought by now we'd have seen a fuckton of celebrity deepfake nudes and rule 34 porn of every variety, plus apps that let incels create it from pics of their high school crushes/enemies, but it seems like that tidal wave hasn't hit yet.

Or perhaps the legal protections arrived just in time to discourage those with the know-how

 

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 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.

 
 

Old habit, I opened rif and it loads current posts! What's going on?
