  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

  • If you are a company looking for a forum, you want to be able to control it. Unfederated means you can control account access and don't have to worry about someone going to All and seeing porn etc.

    Federated could work, but you need to make it clear that it's just a community on a platform.

  • You could force latest comment sort on the posts, but leave the comments sorting to the user.

  • The Reddit style voting/threading is superior of forums though.

    An unfederated Lemmy instance for example would actually be really good.

  • New undersea cable tech listens for sabotage — can be retrofitted to existing fiber optic lines

    Jump

  • You can hear to some level, the boats and actions in the vicinity of the cable. So it might provide evidence in case of a break.

    It also lets you know if the cable is moving round on the seabed etc, this is useful as it can cause wear.

    I seem to remember it being used to check the health of power cables too (they have fibre cables embedded within them)

  • Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading..... Unsavoury images.

    You should be able to link to an external image site.

  • My parents had their current house built - an awesome oak framed building. I got the frame design from the architects and turned it into a 3D printed jigsaw.

    Each beam had a bit on the end that plugged into the relevant socket (with a little bku-tacto help in some cases)

    I had done no 3d modeling previous to this, and practically none after. Took me months, awesome though!

  • Your API definition there is spot on.

  • Nokia to deploy the first cellular network on the Moon

    Jump

  • Ah, I was thinking more of a spinlaunch thing. Yours would make more sense, but would require a fuckton of industry in space or on the moon to have it work. I wonder how much more effective a self contained spinlaunch style thing would be on the moon.

  • You still need to fire an engine on the far side of your orbit though which makes it more difficult as it still needs to be able to propel itself (while surviving the acceleration)

  • A new study found adaptive traffic signals powered by big data reduced peak-hour travel times by 11% in China’s 100 most congested cities – saving 31.73 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.

  • Look for a square or an X (or a square with an X in it) right Infront of the stop line for the lights. If it's there, that detects a car waiting.

    There may be more of them further up the road to detect more cars waiting/arriving.

    They are basically using big loops of wire to detect cars through magmatism.

    They tend not to detect cyclists, so I often have to move to the side and wave cars forward so lights on side streets will change.

  • Alibaba Releases Advanced Open Video Model, Immediately Becomes AI Porn Machine

    Jump

  • I think the concern is that although it's victimless, if it's legal it could.... Normalise (within certain circles) the practice. This might make the users more confident to do something that does create a victim.

    Additionally, how do you tell if it's really or generated? If AI does get better, how do you tell?
