  • Running a full OS on a rocket? Why? It's mostly some embedded stuff, some kind of arduino.

    The launching platform though... maybe a minimalist OS with a curses interface.

  • What's Happened Since Time Dropped Its Paywall 1 Year Ago
  • If I can’t buy groceries, pay rent or medical bills with it, it’s in not a real currency. If I can’t bail myself out with it, it’s not a real currency.

    So any other fiat currency not your own is not real?

    But sure, somehow paying money to get faux money that can’t really practically pay for my needs, and then needs to be reconverted to real currency to take care of my needs is somehow not a scam.

    If you do end up with "real" money, where's the scam?

    Also, I’m sure you’re super cool with the insane non-renewable energy cost of bitcoin mining and distribution. It far outweighs the energy cost of AI that everyone is complaining about.

    Got evidence to support that? Not all cryptocurrencies rely solely on mining.

    FYI i'm not defending cryptocurrencies, most do seem scammy, i'm just poking fun at dealing in absolutes and talking out of one's ass.

  • China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report
  • The vast majority of projects on GitHub is open-source and forkable, why would that need authorization?

    It's... suspicious that China's doing it en masse, but there's nothing wrong in cloning or forking a repo last i heard.

  • This smiling robot face made of living skin is absolute nightmare fuel
  • The human mind is a curious mind.

    If that skin is just copy/pasted without nourishment it'll rotten away, decaying in a sea of pus and putrid, gangrenic tissue, festering away as maggots feast on it.

    So if these scientists are half-serious about their grants then they should consider a way to feed the skin.

  • Why Hondas Run Great - JIT Manufacturing, 5S Methodology and Kaizen

    Another great Fortnine video just came out, this time about Honda.

    Didn't quite explore the supply shortage impact on JIT as seen during the pandemic, though.

    Online Privacy and Overfishing

    > Internet surveillance, and the resultant loss of privacy, is following the same trajectory. Just as certain fish populations in the world’s oceans have fallen 80 percent, from previously having fallen 80 percent, from previously having fallen 80 percent (ad infinitum), our expectations of privacy have similarly fallen precipitously. The pervasive nature of modern technology makes surveillance easier than ever before, while each successive generation of the public is accustomed to the privacy status quo of their youth. What seems normal to us in the security community is whatever was commonplace at the beginning of our careers.
