Same for me, local and the other tabs work but the main timeline is failing.

We can already store electrons in a container, we call that a capacitor. You separate 2 conductive plates with a dielectric and then connect the plates to a voltage source to deposit electrons on one side and remove electrons from the other (creating a difference in electric potential). You can then disconnect the voltage source and you will have electrons in a bottle. When you connect those plates to another circuit, they will discharge. The more surface area you have, the more electrons you can store. Electrolytic capacitors tightly roll the conductors into a spiral for space efficiency.

This cannot be used to gain any more energy than you used to put them all in there.

Yes he sent a damn signed contract.

Because people need stable incomes and healthcare, so they start applying for jobs and get them. People aren’t quitting to be unemployed.

Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

Yeah, I was shocked to see it pop up in my mastodon feed this morning. After denying several FOIA requests I figured they’d keep it buried out of spite.

From the linked discussion it looks like there’s a new feature rolling out where mods can activate “automatic ban evasion protection” during a ban. Mods don’t get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

I have the exact same setup. It works perfectly and integrates really well into home assistant if that’s your thing. Getting a coral TPU also makes object detection really easy even on low power hardware.

But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.

It’s a campground chain in the US.

The concept as I understand it is that Threads has the sheer volume of content to completely drown out the existing Fedi content if it fully opens the floodgates. If that occurs and say 90% of content becomes Threads and then they start making Threads only extensions to Activity Pub, servers will have to start patching those in and the Activity Pub project is defacto owned by Meta.

People also have issues with the Meta content moderation and the population on Threads, but as you noted that’s fixable on an individual and community level. The existential threat to the future of the Fediverse is why servers should defederate. Meta can’t and shouldn’t be trusted with any amount of power over this community project.

It’s a specter with a heart bleed.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

Re-manifested? To fix it you have to reenable manifest v2. That should be simple for a while but will get more problematic over time.

It does mean significant operational downtime: https://www.technology.org/2023/01/02/did-you-know-f-16-fighting-falcon-needs-17-hours-of-maintenance-for-every-hour-of-flight/

If a construction worker started cutting beams and caused the building to collapse that wouldn’t be “not doing their job”, that would be active and malicious sabotage. This isn’t even remotely an apology, it makes it sound like they just ignored a call for help, not actively created a situation that no one asked for.

Just…one…more…lane…

That’s what this is about… Continual training of new models is becoming difficult because there’s so much generated content flooding data sets. They don’t become biased or overly refined, they stop producing output that resembles human text.

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.
