Free AI product idea, most likely valuable to DigiKey or Mouser, whomever does it first:

“What is this connector?”

Train a model to identify every electronics connector sold. Ideally a secondary model learns sizing based on any references in the shot it can garner.

This will trim like half the posts in some electronics subreddits.

@schwa Can I make an annual salary on it?

I thought I was being really smart by using sockets on weapons to position melee attacks so that you can just trigger overlaps via anim notifies a little before potential impact, and if you make the overlap boxes big enough you get a nice directional element to attacks for cheap (good for making particles fly and directional knockback)

Reader, this does not work well under varying frame rate conditions. After this I'm definitely going to test the game with t.MaxFPS=20 more often 🤦‍♂️

@sinbad As soon as the dwarves could throw explosives in Myth: The Fallen Lords, we spent at least a full day noodling around with it to see what happens.

May I suggest further decimation of the skeleton components? e.g. a torso is composed of two bits of intestine, a liver, two lungs, etc. Those decompose into a certain amount of blood spatter, etc.

    @schwa Always down for a hot pot place recommendation.

    Can we convict him of insurrection and treason now, please?

    And revamp Alcatraz just to hold him and the rest of his crime family associates?

    @schwa You can look out to the island and give him double (or triple!) middle fingers when you want.

    @dgregor79 @schwa And for anybody wearing a red ballcap, we can direct them toward the sign that says "this way to see the stupendous whirling blades!”

    My proxmox box has spontaneously rebooted a few times since upgrading to 8.2.2. Nothing in the logs, so I just had to go through a very obtuse dance with kernel command line arguments to get it to log out to BMC SOL which I'm capturing in a tmux session on a stable box, all in hopes of seeing why Linux is panicking now when it didn't before.

    Apple gets this right -- panic logs are written to a special section of flash and recovered on the next boot and the user is offered to report it.

    @penryu Proxmox — it’s ZFS.

    @penryu They did on earlier hardware, outside the file system.

    @alexr@mastodon.online avatar

    @penryu Yes, and before.

    i wonder: what will the lack of "political correctness" have to say about bone saws? 🧐

    @siracusa @caseyliss @griffd @spencerdailey Seems to me that the biggest advantage Tesla has is that they can pull data from the entire fleet of cars shipped to add to the training data. Everybody else has to train using Unreal/Unity simulations and carefully gathered driving. That's probably why the current FSD behaves more human-driver-like.

    Given that it killed a coworker of mine and Elon is a terrible human, I’ll never trust it.

    @griffd @siracusa @caseyliss @spencerdailey FSD may not have “officially” killed anybody, but Elon has blood on his hands for his over-promising.

    alexr,
    @alexr@mastodon.online avatar

    @caseyliss @griffd @siracusa @spencerdailey And Tesla paid a huge settlement to my coworker's family because of Elon's boastful and dangerous statements.

    But keep stanning for Elon. It's a good look.

    alexr,
    @alexr@mastodon.online avatar

    @griffd I did. He sat in the cube next to me at the time.

    Yes, I believe he was fully misled by Elon's frequent public over-statement of the capabilities of the system.

    I don't think Tesla is reducing traffic accidents in any meaningful way yet. No autonomous effort should yet be claiming anything like that.

    He’s hawking a false future. And he's a terrible human and should be shunned.

    TOSH MAN ON THE CASE

    @llamasoft_ox They cloned Kangaroo? I thought total distribution of that was only a few thousand.

    alexr,
    @alexr@mastodon.online avatar

    @llamasoft_ox Did that as soon as Jed posted them.

    I was also lucky enough at Apple to work with Owen Rubin, Bruce Merritt, Ed Rotberg, Brian McGhie, Bob Flanagan, and then Mark Cerny at Sony. I heard plenty of tales.
