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.

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.

Hypergolic oxidizer, dinitrogen tetroxide, one of the most carcinogenic substances known to man.

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

Poor thing starved to death

Seems silly to try to get the CPU to do GPU stuff, just upgrade the GPU.

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!

 

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.

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.

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.

 

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!

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.
