“Sphere”

That pronunciation … like WTF … did word inventors just figure we had totally exhausted the sound combinations that we could splice together?!

I know this reference

I’ve heard that exact sound used on some computers (lottery maybe?) in gas stations in the US. I’m not sure why they picked that exact sound, but it’s definitely distinct and recognizable.

Uh oh

Completely true. And I would dictate my driving characteristics based on that fact.

I would drive at a speed and in a manner that would allow me to not almost crash into things. But especially trains.

In what way is it not ready to use?

To me it seems you just spent three paragraphs answering your own question.

can’t even see 50 meters ahead

didn’t understand what it was and how to react to it

FSD is not a finished product. It’s under development

doesn’t mean it’s obvious to the AI

If I couldn’t trust a system not to drive into a train, I don’t feel like I would trust it to do even the most common tasks. I would drive the car like a fully attentive human and not delude myself into thinking the car is driving me with “FSD.”

I’ve never hit a train. And I’ve also never almost hit a train. I think I could go my entire life never almost hitting trains and I would still consider that the bare minimum for a mammal with two eyes and a brain.

It’s unreasonable for FSD to see a train? … that’s 20ft tall and a mile long? Am I understanding you correctly?

Foolproof would be great, but I think most people would set the bar at least as high as not getting killed by a train.

And was a dancer. And was a competitive diver. And was a fencer (the stolen goods kind).

To your point, he honestly made me appreciate how actors have lives outside of the set.

I can never take Jason Statham seriously in his action movies after learning he was a painted up rave dancer in the background of multiple 90s music videos.

The Turris Omnia is an open, powerful router that comes with OpenWRT.

Turris adds an additional UI and features beyond that, but the OpenWRT UI is still available and the stock firmware can be completely replaced with OpenWRT if so desired.

It’s a bit pricey but has great specs (1.6 GHz dual core, 2GB RAM, 8GB eMMC) and is an excellent device for tinkerers with headers exposing UART, JTAG, GPIO, and more. It has three internal mPCIe ports as well.

I am not affiliated with Turris but just happened to stumble upon a new one at a garage sale a couple of days ago. Lucky find and I’m excited.

Was the next Dropbox breach due already? I forgot to set a reminder.

“Unfortunately”? Be careful, your wording makes it sound like you would rather people be legitimately punished for letting the flag touch the ground or disposing of it improperly.

I tried interpreting your comment in different ways and hope what you intended to say is that it’s unfortunate that he is the kind of crass person that would abuse this important freedom.

But it’s important for us to make a distinction between those that exercise a freedom and those that abuse a freedom. We should be free to criticize or ridicule those in the latter group for the same reason that they are free to abuse it.

I’m confused how I would have written that as well. Coincidental for sure. I think I did have “modern” in the title initially and didn’t realize editing left it since it’s similar. I dunno.

I speak English and I’m actually old enough to know what modem stands for, unfortunately 😂.

I’ve posted it online now as well as included a pic of the LEDs lit up through the PETG pipes.

I’ll post it to Printables.com soon. I’m not sure how common the brittle plastic issue was but, yeah, there seem to be a lot of variations using this exact same case design.

I haven’t seen the LEDs yet since I’ve lost the power supply, but I’ve used the same PETG pipe technique a couple of times before and it works great.

These are 3D filesystem browser apps that let you navigate your filesystem as though files and folders were trees in a forest that you’re walking/flying through.

They were practically useless aside from the wow factor. I believe one may have made it into a movie scene. Jurassic Park?
