@Tyler_Plummer Brings back memories..

‼️ A satellite in space ran Doom after a voice command from a radio amateur on a rooftop in Oslo.

He said "PRETTY play Doom Doom Doom" into a microphone. The European Space Agency cubesat, OPS-SAT PRETTY, pulled his voice out of the radio noise and transcribed it with a 27MB speech AI on board.

Then it launched Doom and sent back a "postcard" with a frame of the game.

Tanagra Space, the Estonian startup behind the software, says it is the first time a satellite has been commanded by voice.

It worked on the seventh attempt. The Oslo club spent 59 days and about $775 on it, pizza included.

@gak_pdx Or walk around the shop floor with it on a USB stick, of course nobody does that...

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

@gak_pdx This is a question i hear often from pro's in the CNC world, my day job is to answer it. Same as, why is a secure connection to my CNC needed, which is hard. In CNC terms would you mail your ITAR program to an address outside the USA?

@McFranchisee @McDonalds The outcome looks tasty regardless...

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

@McFranchisee @McDonalds Its kinda look like its just dunk the chicken in the breading a few times, apply some weird yellow goop, then lay on a tray. Its been a little while since i did this at KFC but see Colonel Sander’s “7-10-7” unique breading technique: https://t.co/3Fg2pzbU3U

@axeng200 @AvaloniaUI Good point.

@EMQTech Mazak machines have a pre installed publisher via UDP used for CyberMonitor. it's free to get a fixed set of data when you know how.... Mazak showed me this back in 2012.

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

@EMQTech Mazak CNC listens for the status packets a Mazak CNC sends over UDP, and turns each field into a tag. It sends no requests to the machine.

Ahh the secret is out 😆

good work on these additions...

@heyandras thanks for the patch.

Really struggling to remember shortcut keys, my defaults now all go to AI tools.

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

Cloned a pre AI client project, know the code. have just run VS Codium, pnpm start and changed a config file by hand! Feels alien to do this, like playing a record or using a floppy disk. Fun but old.

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

@heyandras ready with docker start coolify...

[Max Baines @maxbaines]

@heyandras @Cloudflare or docker stop coolify until a patch, keeps apps running.
