  • How come residential power lines aren't buried underground still?

  • When my mom got fiber internet, they had to dig a trench through everyone’s front yard in the neighborhood. They managed to destroy one of her Christmas yard decorations.

    When I got fiber internet, a dude in a truck ran it from a pole across the street in like two hours.

  • Generally it’s made by first filtering out other gasses (there are materials that will pass nitrogen but block oxygen), and then you just get it super cold with a cryocompressor (uses helium as a refrigerant) to liquify it.

  • What was your most catastrophic miscommunication with someone else?

    Jump

  • Maybe not direct miscommunication, but definitely a lack of context.

    I got into a stupid game with my girlfriend texting back and forth quotes that start with “I am” like I’d send “I am Iron Man” and she’d respond “I am not a crook!”

    After a while, I was running out of ideas, so I sent a quote from Pulp Fiction which I probably botched. Wasn’t sure if she had even seen it.

    A few minutes later, my ex girlfriend calls and then hangs up when I answer. Thought that was weird.

    Then I thought about how my ex and current girlfriend had the same first name.

    I had just texted my ex who I hadn’t spoken to in two years “I AM THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON YOU!”

    I tried to explain the context. She was fairly understanding, but I was shoook after that experience.

  • Glass cracks propagate at an absurdly fast rate. Something like 4x the speed of sound (1400m/s). Not a physical thing moving, but very common.

  • Can't find any solid numbers on it, but the micromirrors on a DLP projector are really fast. They rotate 10 degrees or so back and forth something like 1024 times for each color channel for each frame at 60fps.

  • ChatGPT Gave Teen Advice to Get Higher on Drugs Until He Died | Futurism

    Jump

  • Basically the entire US economy, every employer, many schools, and half of the commercials on TV are telling us to use and trust AI.

    Kid was already using the bot for advice on homework and relationships (two things that people are fucking encouraged to do depending on who you ask). The bot shouldn't give lethal advice. And if it's even capable of doing that, we all need to take a huuuuuuge step back.

    “I want to make sure so I don’t overdose,” Nelson explained in the chat logs viewed by the publication. “There isn’t much information online and I don’t want to accidentally take too much.”

    Kid was curious and cautious, and AI gave him incorrect information and the confidence to act on that information.

    He was 19. Cut this victim blaming bullshit. Being a kid is hard enough before technology went full cyberpunk.

  • so I've used it a few times, but it absolutely chokes on 4K footage on my rig. I think maybe the lack of hardware acceleration for pre rendering?

    I have a big project coming up and I'm considering downscaling all the source files, editing, and then slipping in the real files when I'm done. Is that a thing people do?

  • Not quite rage-quit, but I worked as a cashier at a local grocery store chain until one day I was asked to clean up broken eggs that had dripped into the dusty-ass vents at the bottom of the dairy section.
