Things fall into the thicker parts of the atmosphere because drag from the tiny amounts of air up there. if that is shrinking, then you can get lower before you have the same amount of drag? Therefore lower orbits might be more feasible?

Lower orbit means faster though, so it may not be linear? Would be interesting to see (someone else do) the maths.

Doesn’t that just mean that lower orbits can be used? Less air resistance?

Then you are using it for music and pay the full rate.

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)

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.

Good to see companies making a stand where governments (kinda understandably) won’t.

I consider temperature and fan controls to be safety critical for demisting windows etc for example.

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?

With the obvious disclaimer that it will hike your electricity bill.

I wasn’t going to read the article until I read your comment. Wtf!

I was going to bring up the Herman miller Arron, but that released in 1994!

Looks to be about 50/50 between the dictionaries I looked at. Wikipedia includes friends in it’s definition.

My understanding is that is included in nepotism nowadays (used to be family only, now more general)

My favourite tech interview technique was the code review style. Give them some code with a range of deliberate issues and ask them to code review it live on the call.

Tests their code comprehension and as you can ask them questions live, it’s reasonably AI proof (I think). You can ask them to refactor things on the call, which tends to be something AI is weak at. It also requires no take home work for the applicant.

My company has just said that AI use in the interview is fine, but we will be asking questions as they work through it to check they actually understand things.

Ah, Nepotism.

That’s a very interesting site, thank you!

It looks like the screen size is the most identifying info for me, followed by the webGL hash. Not much can be done about those on mobile right?

…which is actually annoying. It’s a good feature ☹️

The cross licensing deal between AMD & Intel collapses if one gets bought out. Here is an old article that’s probably still accurate that describes it. (Has some great quotes that have not aged well…)

If that’s still true, a buyout might end up killing x86/x64 in favour of arm etc.

I also don’t think trump would agree without relocating TSMCs HQ to the US or something. Competition is good anyway, we really don’t want to be in a situation where there is only one fab company with anywhere near too tech.

Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents? My commute has quite a few areas with good (full or almost full) ‘signal’ but with the no internet exclamation mark.

That’s why I have assumed it’s a bandwidth to the mast problem.

Ultimately, phone networks are not built to cope with commuter trains ☹️
