Maybe cliche, but I think a lot of this is just trauma being passed down from one generation to the next. A lot of those people have an easy time imaging an angry puritan god in th…

This probably depends on if you've used it enough to make some playlists and give it an idea of the real music that you like.

I thought the whole issue with manifest v3 is that prevented extensions from being able to block connections? That DNS blocking is actual blocking, while the extension can only do …

I recently got an air purifier. The touch button controls for adjusting the fan speed didn't seem to be working, so I emailed support. They had me download their app, link the air …

The strange part is that nearly all the decently large publishers seem to be completely unable to predict when a game will be successful, because they seem unable to determine when…

It has everywhere to dissipate heat, but only radiatively. But 140 AU from the Sun, there's not much incoming radiant flux.

I think the prime example of SSAO being helpful was Fallout 3. FO3 has very simplistic lighting even for its time, kind of looking like "fullbright"/non-shaded mode in Source engin…

In addition to reducing the energy content of the actual desired signal.

RPKI mainly makes the administrative side of the route database more formal and rigorous than previous internet routing registry implementations. The processes for using them to im…

The 28th amendment was affirmed by Biden near the end of his term, which states that the "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or b…

Here's a map in one bit, where 0 is water and 1 is land: 0

4, 6, and 8 are all fairly standard, as quadcopter, hexacopter, and octacopter, because you have a pair of motors rotating in each direction, which allows you to slow down all the …

You could, but once you need to turn around and thrust upwards to avoid hitting the ground, you'll need to run the motors HARD, which will make a lot of turbulence right below you,…

Those things stopped being full time jobs, but they only became more important to understand how they worked. Knowing more math makes you a better "living computer", but it also ma…

I always found it interesting that basic quadcopters work on nothing but a gyroscope which measures angular velocity in 3 dimensions, and optionally an accelerometer for auto-level…

I dunno if you've seen the subreddit, "Sub Simulator GPT2", but I found it around 2020-2021. It seemed to contain GPT2-style models trained/finetuned on several popular subreddits,…

This feels rather overstated. Your firmware check isn't going to tell you if a repo package installed/updated by your package manager got compromised, which is apparently increasin…

A particular number goes up which matters too much to someone with too much power, conceivably.
