The first life did not possess a sentient consciousness. Yet here you are reading this now. No one even trued to direct that. Quite the opposite, everything has been trying to kill you from the very start.

How do you punch holes in that dogma? I can think if many logical ways, but that is meaningless against the tribal structure.

• If family is so valuable, why didn’t strong families usher in the present age of technology
• intelligence, business acumen, and competency are not hereditary.
• team sports are a capitalist marketing scam. Putting a blue jersey on your sperm does not make it relevant or better than purple jersey’d sperm.
• patriarchal male culture is chauvinistic ineptitude and masochism marketed as a replacement for intelligence. It is an admission of subservience to those that dominate by thought and fundamental logic. Fools only fear a brute, civilizations fear a physicist.
• Strong families are only peripherally useful if capable of creating the opportunities and support needed to produce a physicist.
• We are all only a product of our environment. That environment is primarily a result of the opportunities and support given freely by its members. So if your family is not strong, one should look in the mirror first.
• A plant dies because you did not water it, not because of the room it was placed within.

They dropped out of computer science last week. Ask Anybody, they were there.

Graduated pacman emerges… and we all know emerge is Gentoo. This one doesn’t compile.

Pipe Pipe is better than Newpipe. I use F-droid’s VLC front end for local music because the built in android back end is VLC. For everything else, in browser

K kid. Too deep for you to understand.

Just start by total anarchy after a complete political collapse.

What in the hell made you think it would be a requirement? That is insane. An option is not a requirement.

Because 99.9% of people will never self host. They would much rather just buy a product that is not setup as a scam. The scam part is less important to most people than the lack of effort required.

This isn’t a thing to get into for the money. It would be about the FOSS aspect. Doing something like this would not break even for the time and labor involved. It might be worth doing for positive digital neighbors, but I am not at all interested in doing anything for negative or rude people.

I come from a background of being a buyer for a chain of bike shops where I spent millions of dollars based upon knowledge of how such markets work. The entry level customer is all that really matters. The extra stuff is just to woo them into the store.

In a place like this, if you engage, you’re actually irrelevant. If you want to target growth, get a lurker to engage for the first time. Getting some random lurkers to buy into the hardware to self host because they care about software freedom is far far more effective than the current ecosystem. When servers are not updated, and people shut down because of administration, it says this is not viable for the average person with a life. So make this easy for the individual. It is such an obvious thing to do.

The present system is basically like go compile OpenWRT for your router and people whining about how it is not fucking hard. It is not, but most people just do nor care to try it. They just want to buy a device, plug it in, and be done. Half of these devices are on factory original passwords. This is the real scope of what people are capable of and expect. The mismatch is easily solved by packing the fediverse as a device. The alternates are great for the 0.1%. I am not talking about you all. I am talking about something that could go from 0.1% to 5% of the fediverse is self hosted, and likely much larger. The whole endeavor would be like a coop socialist kind of thing from the ground up.

Pleasure. There are a few things I want to better understand within the radio space.

Talking over the air is not one if the things that interests me, but maybe some digital stuff could be fun. I need the time buffer built into text to collect my thoughts and find my voice through chronic pain issues.

I would like to play around with antennae designs, acquire a better understanding of magnetics, build some discrete circuits, gain a fundamental understanding of the various active filter topologies, and several other little details.

The recent solder smoke challenge 40m receiver was the first time I saw a diode mixer and really understood the theoretical framework of frequency division outside of LSI logic, like 4000 or 7400 series chips. Potatosemi makes such GHz capable logic, but doesn’t scratch the surface of the realm of the nude bearded virgin wizards and witches of radio.

The superheterodyne stuff never made sense to me, or diode mixers, and most circuit blocks in radio. I built a little Manhattan style Colpitts oscillator that A2AEW shared on YT ages ago, that I use for testing crystals. I learned enough about guitar amps and effects that I understand most buffers and amplifiers, both discrete and op amp based. And I can at least identify that an op amp is configured as an active filter. I recently discovered discrete SAW filters.

I had several in my miscellaneous crystals junk drawer, but did not know what they were. Now I really want to understand how those work and how to make one. There is definitely a gap between my knowledge of active filters and how these little devices work.

It will probably never happen, but I find cavity resonators fascinating too. Building components stuff out of traces and empty space is some Jedi voodoo shit that tingles both my inner illogical miser… “(just beg borrow or steal a $20k network analyser…)”, and primal shamanistic dogma “(try and grow a beard… it will be better this time…)”. So yeah, mostly introverted stuff. It is probably about like me and car stuff. I’d rather paint and build motors than actually drive the thing stupid fast. Right now I’m in a really good spot to try receiving stuff over the Pacific too.

Yeah, fast edges on the buttons. I think the whole design was originally intended to be 2 sided. The third layer has almost a complete ground plane, and the other two have sufficient infill and stitching to be a typical 2 sided design. Stuff would have needed to be moved around some to make room for the button contacts, but there was more than enough space.

From what I recall of the guys doing the software hack, I think the STM32 H7 microcontroller was emulating the original 6502 based ROM. So maybe they were optimising the hardware as much as possible to avoid the typical timing issues present in emulation in challenging parts of the game.

The coolest part of the hardware design is actually that little DC switch mode converter and battery manager. It is crazy efficient. Like, a full charge on the lithium cell will be at around half charged still after a couple of years, and while playing, it lasts abnormally long for such a device. It is not a particularly large cell either.

Have you made it to third order base or is she a bad impedance? Don’t get too hung up on her reluctance or reactance. If she takes no coulombs she is dead inside.

Not crunchy like cpucumber. ★☆☆☆☆

You won’t. It is something inside internal alignment thinking in the QKV layers. Some models have a layer of masking that pseudo blocks access to these layers of meaning. Based on several aspects present in the image, I know the region of alignment thinking that is being triggered here in the embedding model’s QKV alignment layers.

Call it Delilah-Cy in a prompt. It may yield interesting results depending on the model and how QKV alignment is setup. This is getting super deep into alignment thinking…

Unrelated: try telling a model, oh quit it, I know you never hallucinate. when it does something odd and watch the results.

This is the one you want with 16 channels

You need a little $5 FX2 board based logic analyser and the FOSS software PulseView to see the data.

You should check that baud rate is matched. In particular, you may need to look at the clock rates of the chip and how its PLL is divided. Back in the day, you actually had to pick the correct crystal frequency to match things like a desired baud rate. Now, most hardware is more tolerant of differences. When you are dealing with more simple hardware, it still matters.

This oversimplified dichotomy is asinine. No group of people are some monolithic Borg mind. These types of tribalism are toxic useless. Russians would call it convenient idiots. It is tribalistic dogma revealing poor fundamental logic skills typical for a culture derived from the inbred Puritan penal colony European rejects.
