This project addresses that limitation by using the version of Copilot in VS 2026's ability to access locally hosted models using Ollama, and extends the options available to the developer, who can now add 100+ hosted LLM models to VS 2026 using an instance of LiteLLM Proxy Server (AI Gateway).

@Not_yourpilot@deepwebslinger What part of gravity pulling down on the center of mass, creating a torque perpendicular to the spin axis don't you understand?
The reason planes can level themselves in relation to the ground is exactly because if this.
@Africa4life13@ErnstRoets@Leon_Schreib@LexLibertasOnX All first world, highly literate countries with a decent per capita income and widely available internet connections - none of which are vaguely in the same ballpark as South Africa.
Identification technology only works if everyone can use it, like an ID card. There is literally a tower of Babel's worth of issues that are going to come with this.
Trying it implement it in South Africa is so short sighted, I can only assume that there is much under-the-table enrichment going on
Except you have overlooked Precession.
Gravity pulls down on the center of mass, creating a torque perpendicular to the spin axis. If the gyroscope weren't spinning, it would simply fall over due to this torque.
Instead, because of the existing angular momentum, the torque doesn't tip it over. It causes the spin axis to precessโto slowly rotate (or "wobble") around the vertical axis in a circle
This precession happens at 90 degrees to the applied torque (a counterintuitive result). The direction of precession follows the right-hand rule relating torque and angular momentum change.
@Not_yourpilot@deepwebslinger How do you think Gyro's work. Why do you think a spinning top stays upright when spinning? It aligns to the earths core - and this is the same principle that Gyroscopes use
What aircraft use gyroscopic instruments for:
Aircraft heavily rely on gyroscopic technology, but in different forms:
Heading Indicator (Directional Gyro or DG)
A fast-spinning gyroscope that maintains a stable direction once set.
It does not automatically find north like a gyrocompass.
Pilots manually align it with the magnetic compass every 10โ15 minutes (due to precession drift).
Very common in general aviation.
Slaved Gyro or Gyro-Magnetic Compass
A directional gyro that is continuously corrected ("slaved") to a remote magnetic sensor (flux valve, usually in the wingtip).
This is what people sometimes loosely call a "gyrocompass" in aviation, but it's really a magnetically referenced system with gyro stability. It gives magnetic heading, not true north.
Modern Inertial Systems (INS / IRS / AHRS) High-end aircraft, jets, and military planes use Inertial Navigation Systems or Inertial Reference Systems.
These use laser ring gyros (RLG), fiber-optic gyros (FOG), or MEMS gyros.
On the ground during alignment, they can perform gyrocompassing โ detecting Earth's rotation to find true north automatically (similar principle to a gyrocompass).
Once airborne, they integrate with GPS, air data, and magnetic sensors for highly accurate navigation.
It's really not hard to understand. Poverty is a mindset. The only way to fix it is through education and application of the knowledge.
It is an issue that takes two or three generations with widescale application to solve properly.
Climate change? Well that is just a straight up hoax.
@GamingGrifter She should, but I would bet good money that what she conveyed was just part of the general tone and attitude in the office, else shou would not have dared to say that.
@MrBrendanCox Fuck right off.
The liberal belief that humans are all equal and a blank slate is socially the most stupid and dangerous idea being put into practice today in the west.
