  • Two Open Source Projects Combine to 3D Print a Working Replica Key Using a Flipper Zero

  • It would work a couple of times. It's just not a long term solution.

  • Ouch, that's cold

  • The problem is there are 2 categories. Microwave safe just means it won't explode, or throw sparks. The other type sorely lacks a name still. It's the stuff that is transparent to microwaves and so won't heat up at all, except for heat transfer from the food.

  • It lets your phone use the larger screen for satnav. It also reconfigures it to a better setup for driving (bigger buttons and reduced complexity). This also means your phone doesn't need to be sat in the sun, with its screen lit up for a couple of hours, and so overheating.

    My phone no longer even leaves my pocket. It wirelessly links to the entertainment system.

  • Soldiers fight together out of empathy, as much as orders.

    The super tribe effect allows for nations and fandoms. If you've ever seen a hyped up group of football fans, you've seen super tribe empathy in action.

    It also allows for mutual support. We support the weak because we know what it feels like to be weak. I have been helped by the empathy of others. I have chosen to let my empathy help others in turn.

    Empathy ties us together. It allows us to reach FAR beyond what we could alone. Empathy is both the glue that holds society together and the oil that stops the whole construction seizing up.

  • That happened, until 10+ tribes got pissed off, got together, and wiped them out. Eventually those tribal groups grew into villages, towns and city states. Many tribes, united in a common purpose.

  • It's obviously the MAGA crowd. They've spent years complaining about electric vehicles. They've just escalated that to burning them out. The police need to go have a nice chat with the rolling coal types.

  • I would argue that empathy is one of the most critical advantages we have, as humans. It is fundamental to the super tribe effect. That allowed us to bypass the Dunbar limit and form societies larger than a tribe.

    It's also not soft. Endurance hunting relies on it. When your prey flees into cover, you need to follow. You need to put yourself into its head, to figure out where it went. That is empathic.

    Your life must be cold and distant without empathy.

  • We now have undeniable proof that one of your core beliefs is objectively wrong. Which one do you think it is and what is the new difficult truth for you to swallow?

    Jump

  • I've noticed 2 types on this, stick-in-the-muds and peak-hunters.

    Stick in the muds latch on to the first version of a belief they encounter properly. They will stubbornly hang on to that for as long as possible.

    Peak hunters are the opposite, they will rapidly change beliefs to maximise the results/find truth.

    Interestingly, after some time, the 2 groups look almost identical. The peak hunters tend to find the 'best' version of their belief, based on their existing memeplex. To budge them, you need to show a different belief is better, on their rankings (not yours). This is hard when they have already maximised it. Without knowing how they are weighing things, they can look like stick in the muds.

    The biggest tell is to question why they believe what they do. If they have a reasonably comprehensive answer, they are likely peak hunters. Stick in the muds generally can't articulate why their belief is better, outside of common sound bites.

  • What are your thoughts on paternity leave?

  • This is textbook toxic masculinity.

    A lot of people misuse the term, but this is an excellent example. The men involved lose out on something amazing due to it being 'unmanly'.

  • As painful as it is, this is both what the high road actually looks like, and how we win, longer term. We need to bleed off those we can from the echo chamber of insanity. The more 'moderates' we can strip off, the more obvious that insanity becomes.

    Mockery feels good, but it drives them back into their group. Kindness and understanding gives us the cracks we need to start deconverting them.

  • The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier

    Jump

  • The same way your mortgage is backed up by your house. If you default on your mortgage, the bank can take your house in foreclosure.

    Rather than sell shares to raise the money, Musk has backed his borrowing with Tesla shares. Basically, if he doesn't pay back the loan, the banks get the shares. Unlike houses, shares can change value quite quickly. If the value of the loan exceeds the value of the shares, then the banks start to get VERY nervous. They will call in the loans to get what they can, before things get worse. This could crash the share price further, since they will want to offload the shares as soon as possible.

    Musk is extremely rich. However, like most extremely rick people, his money is tied up in shares. If Tesla falls fast enough, he could end up owing more than he has in assets. As soon as his creditors pull the plug, he becomes bankrupt.

  • Surprise! People don't want AI deciding who gets a kidney transplant and who dies or endures years of misery

    Jump

  • Do you have a link to that study? I'd be interested to see what the false positive/negative rates were. Those are the big danger of LLMs being used, and why a trained doctor would be needed.

  • Surprise! People don't want AI deciding who gets a kidney transplant and who dies or endures years of misery

    Jump

  • I believe a good doctor, properly focused, will outperform an AI. AI are also still prone to hallucinations, which is extremely bad in medicine. Where they win is against a tired, overworked doctor with too much on his plate.

    Where it is useful is as a supplement. An AI can put a lot of seemingly innocuous information together to spot more unusual problems. Rarer conditions can be missed, particularly if they share symptoms with more common problems. An AI that can flag possibilities for the doctor to investigate would be extremely useful.

    An AI diagnostic system is a tool for doctors to use, not a replacement.

  • To an extent. You are still talking 20-40 degree windows, but triangulation is definitely possible. I'm not sure if it's used like that however.

  • 5g is a lot more capable and flexible compared to older generations. The main one is a massive increase in capacity, for the same frequency allocations. Compounding with this is that it can be directional. This allows several phones to use the exact same channel simultaneously, so long as they are positioned at different angles to the tower.

    5g also uses more frequency bands, allowing even more data to be moved around. Unfortunately, 2g has most of the lower frequencies, higher frequencies carry more data, but have less penetration into buildings.

    Finally, 5g allows for priority and context awareness. E.g. the police can have their phones prioritised, or VoIP calls given priority over video streaming. It can also trade bandwidth for range. This allows a tower to either reach further to cover a larger area, or focus down, to provide more bandwidth locally.

    In theory 5g could have a similar range to 2g. However, that rarely happens. It requires it using the lower frequencies, that 2g currently uses, and well as dropping its data rate to improve range. Most of the time it's optimised for shorter range, and more towers using higher frequencies. This gives impression of a far smaller range. But give a huge increase is available bandwidth.

  • I would personally add a small amount of slack for bad taste satire (we were all young idiots at some point), but basically agree. Any signs of the other points, and that slack is gone, however.

    I was mostly curious if the OP was acting in bad faith, or a useful idiot that could be reasoned with.

  • History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme. Musk isn't a member of the Nazi party. He does hold a lot of important views in common with them, however. He also associates with people who fit most of the rest.

    What percentage do you think is needed before calling someone a Nazi?
