If they had only included LoRa, the Meshtastic folks would be all over this.

There are three solutions to adjusting the so-called ‘replacement rate:’

• Reduce death rate (ie improve health outcomes for elderly to extend lifespan).
• Make more babies.
• Allow immigration.

Options 1 and 2 haven’t worked too well, and option 3 can cause a lot of political issues.

Not sure there’s a good way to avert the end-game.

Edit: actually there are two other solutions: cloning, and senecide (killing the elderly). It’s dystopian SciFi and totally unethical, but they’re there.

Dear Mattermost…

When designing large, complex systems, you try to break things down into manageable chunks. For example, the bit that deals with user login or authentication. The payment bit. Something that needs to happen periodically. That sort of thing.

Before you know it, there are tens, or hundreds of chunks, each talking to each other or getting triggered when something happens. Problem is, how do these bits share data with each other. You can copy all the data between each chunk, but that’s not very time efficient. And if something goes wrong, you end up with a mess of inconsistent data everywhere.

So what bits of data do you keep in a shared place? What gets copied around from place to place? And what gets only used for that one function to get the job done? This is the job of software architects to sort out.

The author says the more copies of something you make, the more complexity and ‘state’ management you have to deal with. He’s right, but there are ways to mitigate the problem.

Been running local models on laptop for almost two years 🤔

Are we back to jailbreaking? Because this has a teeny bit of jaikbreaking vibe?

I read external websites in “Reader Mode.” This is what it showed. Was mystified what the hell he was going on about.

It’s to boost the volume during Power Ballads.

“Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Here are some discounts on Frog Repellants. Would you like me to purchase one for you?”

The whole thing is pegging my BS meter, including letting an L5 deploy without a code and architecture review, TC, and the fact that they’re posting this and claiming they’re still there.

Barry White’s growly rendition of “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

A slow (12 mph), space-hogging, sharp-cornered, four-wheeled, enclosed vehicle, going down the bike lane and forcing bike riders to overtake in auto traffic. Every once in a while, it will come to a dead stop in the lane, while the driver stands outside in traffic, swings the cargo doors open, then goes off to make a delivery.

Obviously, they thought all this through during the design phase. Which is why they added the fake pedals.

Does it have the old CHAdeMO charging port or did they switch to CCS or NACS?

If CHAdeMO, you may have trouble finding public chargers that support it, so you’ll need to carry around an adapter.

Can be used in philosophy classes to illustrate the concept of “free will.”
