Classy Hatter

Let me guess. It’s a rebranded Chinese phone that typically goes for like 50 bucks?

What is it this time they are hiding with a public stunt?

Those eyes will haunt my dreams.

The Fascist States of Trumpistan

Anyone want to take bets on how many deaths/injuries will there be before they’re pulled?

DOGE will make sure it won’t be pulled. They’ll shut down any administration that tries.

This LiDAR tech vs Tesla video makes me wish Tesla will use LiDAR in their self-driving Robotaxi fleet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ&t=556s

How many hours until Russia blame Ukraine for breaking the truce without providing any proof?

As far as I know (I’m not an expert), negative void coefficient only affects the fission reaction, i.e. the controlled splitting of uranium atoms. The uranium atoms split into smaller unstable atoms, which decays over time causing heat. If the decay heat isn’t removed, the core will melt.

Pebble Bed Reactors seem to be generation IV reactors, and I don’t think there are any generation IV reactors in commercial use as of today. Again, my knowledge is limited, but I believe most reactors in commercial use are some kind of water cooled, water moderated reactors. For example, European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) is one of the latest designs commissioned in commercial use, and that design includes 4 emergency coolant systems.

The main reaction can be stopped within seconds, but the secondary reaction cannot. If the reactor isn’t sufficiently cooled by running water through it, it will meltdown due to the secondary reactions.

This Marco Rubio?

There is 3000 minutes in 50h. You need

Stupid Differently. Apple’s new slogan.

Right hand for right-handed threads and left hand for left-handed. If unsure, it’s most likely right-handed.

Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.

I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.

Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.

L-theanine might help with caffeine’s side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It’s believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.

For some reason, when a GBA game crashes, the GBA will output the content of the game cartridge as audio over the headphone jack. This person noticed it and created a script that can re-create the ROM file (content of the cartridge) from the audio that the GBA outputs.

I think it’s simply a question of what are Google’s interests. Users doesn’t pay anything to Google for the service, so that’s not where Google’s interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that’s where Google’s interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.

I think it would be enough if other search providers would be required to give a portion of their profit from each search to Google.

From the article:

The data breach started with hackers accessing only around 14,000 user accounts. The hackers broke into this first set of victims by brute-forcing accounts with passwords that were known to be associated with the targeted customers, a technique known as credential stuffing.

From these 14,000 initial victims, however, the hackers were able to then access the personal data of the other 6.9 million million victims because they had opted-in to 23andMe’s DNA Relatives feature. This optional feature allows customers to automatically share some of their data with people who are considered their relatives on the platform.

A recent study found that “Super Mario Odyssey” reduced depression symptoms more than cognitive training or standard treatments

The N-value was pretty low, only 46 participants divided to three groups, so one can’t draw too many definitive conclusions from this study. Also their findings were reduced symptoms. If your house is on fire and you figure out a way to reduce the amount of smoke, it will appear as if your house is less on fire. Still, interesting results which implies that games could be used as part of a treatment.

with participants showing higher motivation

They found out that people like playing video games more than going to a psychiatrist.
