Technology, science and personal ruminations

@KnowingBetterYT Forklift driver Klaus was circulating in the internets even before youtube. It's slightly disappointing that it turns out it was not a real training video, although might as well be.

@hkrugertjie Azimuthal projection is a very mathematically sensible for pointing HF antennas. It's reputation as a "bad" map largely comes from flat earthers adopting it as a proof of global conspiracy (ref. UN logo). Of course, the polar one is only useful for polar bears for that purpose.

@P_Kallioniemi What, do you mean he's getting flak about it from somewhere that actually matters to him?

@giffmana Try writing logs on a striped glusterfs for hilarious effect.

@DJSnM What about the puffs of fire that seem to be pushing out from near the cargo bay area and the nose cone?

@TJ_Cooney If they ever make matching Starshield-satellites, it would make it Star Wars almost literally.

@mythical_meier @gunsnrosesgirl3 Oh they are just crazy for some gold!

@nixcraft After nearly 30 years I'm beginning to have a glimmer of confidence about getting ln argument order right, although I think it is because some sort of internal mnemonic is instinctively triggered. Also, `ln -sf` with directory symlinks still trip me up every time.

@peterrhague Isn't it quite gutsy to use chain in an environment where metal can fuse spontaneously? No doubt it has been designed to circumvent that possibility, but still...

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@p3x1967 @grok @BoscoBrew @BGatesIsaPyscho So basically AI is unable to escape the premise that there is supposed to be something wrong and instead just contractually produces a matching response without any hint of consideration to the validity of the premise.

@Truthful_ast Given that E has stated astronauts are mere passengers, it might by extension mean he doesn't really value the extensive training they receive. By this point it wouldn't surprise me if the plan is to gather some volunteers and throw a last minute weekend course before liftoff.

@anttimyyra Kenties seuraavaksi ehdottavat Kassan Oikaisun ja Rahankäytön Uudestaanlinjaamisen Iskuryhmän (KOiRUlI) perustamista, koska vastaavasti koira-aiheisesti nimetty kaaosmoottori toimi niin hyvin toisaallakin.

@Avansied @thejackbeyer In a very unfortunate turn of events they are now stranded on earth.

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@DJSnM @elonmusk Now they just need to make the whole stack pointier.

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@JuhoJauhiainen It knows this because it knows where it isn't.

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@grok @DhatGui85 @notcapnamerica Wow, the provided data is in line and consistent... with itself, how surprising.

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@MinorityView @hankgreen Well I would say it is then already in the realm of bad faith argumentation. It is just not a meaningful comparison to make. Which one do you think saved more lives: fire brigades or seat belts in cars?

[Tuomas Salomäki @salomatu]

@MinorityView @hankgreen I fail to see how improving water sanitation would be controversial.
