You should cross post this c/science_memes ! Instead of cooking the average paper for call deadline, it’s nice to publish something funny every once in a while.

Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.

Ah, was wondering if that was an alternate nickname, or if the lyrics had a typo.

This isn’t the same general mentioned in this song, correct?

Before your comment, I thought I recognized this person, but could remember from where. Then your hint referencing TwoSetViolin helped me recall this is Hilary Hahn. Haven’t seen that channel in while, hope she still does those fun informal guest appearances.

From the size and proximity of the projected shadow, how close do folks think that plane buzzed over that last building?
The left wing tip, it looked less than a wing span away in hight. Yikes!

Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?

For a second there I thought you were advocating for fluorescent green or monochromatic CRT screens of old.

I’m surprised I couldn’t yet find a dummy HDMI plug to spoof a 4K@120Hz capable display. All the ones I’ve found thus far only support 120Hz at 1080p, and never any HDR support at all. I have an OLED android device with 2K screen and matching refresh rate, but the without a physical monitor to stream capturing from. Emulating such display resolutions and colored depths also seems just as formidably challenging.

Aside from my PC, the newest device I own is only a snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc device, which I think sadly doesn’t have a hardware AV1 decider. Definitely a consideration for later upgrades.

Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia’s local Gamestream? I haven’t had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps via LAN as Nvidia’s deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.

I kind of want to see a charter plot of that scoring function projected onto a 3-axis manifold with a colored heat map. How would I minMax my anticipated score given my current age or projected lifespan?

With the release of a new LTS, I think I’ll finally catch on a little sooner this year, just as soon as my Ubuntu based distro upgrades to v24.04.

What about a hyperspace bypass?

Huh, and here I thought “smh” was short for something like “*so much hate”. That makes more sense.
Wonder what other abbreviations, on the Internet or elsewhere, go completely and blissfully misinterpreted by folks for years.

Oh, nice tip! Any good way of emulating that on a mobile Android keyboard? Or do you just copy and paste a lot? Perhaps this could be done with a custom autocorrect dictionary injury?

There was a fairly big 40K lore channel on YouTube with a rather good AI impersonation of David Attenborough’s voice and narration style/scripting. However, I just went to check it, yet it must have recently gotten hit with a DMCA and taken down. A shame really. Though I never got into 40K lore before, or the 40K franchise in general, I am a big fan of David Attenborough, and so that ended up really drawing me in to a new literary universe. However, it was a big mistake by the YouTube creator to use the name and photo likeness of Attenborough in the branding, video titles, and thumbnail art on the channel. I think without pushing that line, the AI voice with a clear disclosure could have kept the channel under the legal radar.

From the pinned comments made here, this looks to be the same creators new channel, now using a different voice, no longer based on any one real person:

The four eyed fish trivolously gives it away, cuz that ain’t no flounder. Also, what cat in its right mind would be stealing a scavenged kill without it tightly secured in its jaws while on the run, let alone clinging a fish to its chest like an anthropomorphic cartoon?

The wide angle composition is kind of cool though, but I prefer photos of real cats.
