It’s still the Easter weekend. Give him 24 more hours, and update us when it’s been 3 days.

Just wanted to comment this. The amount of lint can be quite shocking, but explains why e.g. t-shirts seem to get thinner over time…

Nope, they’re the actual only people in the Good Place.

Well to be fair, they didn’t have to give it machine gun arms and red glowing eyes. But maybe that’s just me.

You also lose some energy to heat while charging and discharging. And depending on load profiles, you might not be able to load all of your excess solar power at once (depends on how many Watts the battery can be charged at) or fulfill your power requirement with battery alone (depends on how many Watts your battery can deliver).

But how safe is this really? These things sell to have quite some power and torque, so could probably maim someone by accident. And if they run with AI, I’m not sure there are actual safeguards in place that would be reliable? Just telling the AI to not do something doesn’t work with other AI approaches either…

A story I read about a company (?) creating an AGI which for safety reasons is disconnected from the internet. It then creates business plans or something for them, and they give it more and more compute power, until it can generate fantastic movies and series for people to enjoy. They publish those stories which become instant successes. The AGI slowly uses these movies to make society a better one by influencing the viewers subconsciously. I don’t remember the ending, but it was quite a good story.

Duh, the arrow clearly points to the US.

Really good article with lots of tips that helped me improve my designs. Highly recommended.

Have you tried adding a brim or mouse ears to remove later?

The scientific method, eh? 😄

4x10 is tough, I don’t wanna imagine doing 4x32… scnr

That might have been an even „simpler“ test.

This one? https://youtu.be/0Hwjmek0Uvw It more addresses survivability in space, but unfortunately not the „drain earth of its atmosphere“ thing. Then again, in game the portal was closed quickly again.

I remember that video, but I‘m not sure it is comparable — air might flow faster than water [citation needed] and there might be less of it [citation needed].

How fast would this suck up all of our atmosphere? Hours? Days?

Bookmarked. Though I guess it comes down to an „I can return my printer and get a full or partial refund“? Which, as long as no good alternative presents itself, doesn’t help me.

I know we don’t want to talk alternatives here, but that might still be an interesting discussion to have, once we get there.

Dual mouse mode sounds interesting…
