I am talking o a reporter about this in a couple hours: https://regina.ctvnews.ca/from-outer-space-sask-farmers-baffled-after-discovering-strange-wreckage-in-field-1.6880353

This is about an hour away from my farm, so this'll be a fun conversation, and yet another great opportunity to tell a lot of people about what a huge problem we have with unregulated commercialization of orbit. (Also I just redid my slides for my public talk next week, this is going in!)

@sundogplanets Vaguely reminiscent of the original space junk DEVO sang about in the 1970s.

Tues 29 May 2024 🧵
Good morning! It’s the last day of the #TrumpTrial before jury #deliberations.
Today Justice #Merchan will give #JuryInstructions. Then they will discuss the case among themselves for the first time; they have not been allowed to even discuss it w/each other as yet.

Closing arguments took place yesterday, & the lawyers will have no further opportunity to address the jurors before they determine whether #Trump is #guilty or not guilty of 34 felonies.

Dear Lazyweb, I have an NEC video projector and I can't get it to do DHCP, or become pingable with a static IP. Tried several cables; the switch gets a link light on all. Is there something weird about these that I'm missing? The setup menu seems straightforward.

Have you encountered rate limiting (429) on requests to the new "text-embedding-3-small" model of OpenAI in SAP AI Core on BTP ?

I mean, I understand a moderate limit but I get a 429 after about 10 to 12 consecutive calls which is a pretty low number ? I do not have this issue with calls to GPT models (gpt-3.5-turbo etc) or text-embedding-ada-002 for instance.

Free usage limit for that model on OpenAI's website is around 3000 RPM.

Every so often the benefit of wearing a bicycle helmet is so great that it can't be ignored. I really should have worn one this morning...

... not for cycling, of course, but when I climbed a ladder in the garage and bashed my head.

@hembrow I was going to say that machine looks quite like a RadioShack Model 100, which a friend owned in the 1980s. And yes, very much so: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Radio_Shack_TRS-80_Model_100

When I was a volunteer with a software user group I got the nickname "hammer" for being blunt I suppose. Before that, in engineering high school, we got to make tools out of metal. My ball peen hammer is still in good shape, sometimes unscrewing along the Acme threads.

Ball peen hammer, knocked handle, lathed metal head, double sided. One flat, one round. Tapered metal shaft.

Yesterday I had shop help when a friendly neighborhood skink cleaned cobwebs off the floor.

Today, though, new helper was unhappy and unproductive. Likely crept into the shed last night and I unknowingly locked it in overnight. Oops.
