I actually tried to find it after I posted but i guess you can’t search the bash archives

Nahh, all those other reasons are kind of hidden from the average person who doesn’t read music or tech news, most of them probably have no idea that Spotify sucks. I’m sure there’s even people hearing the ad right after witnessing ICE violence firsthand

Hes a piece of shit but “don’t put things on the internet” is fantastic advice for young people. I’m glad I was a kid before the Internet got “serious” so there are no logs of the heinous shit I’m sure I said. If you look for my old username, you’ll get one search result…a quip I made on IRC on bash.org

Chicago loves its Hispanic community. They are a valued part of the city

Yeah, but even then I think it’d be hard to justify. You’d only need a fixed wing for distant targets and it’s probably cheaper to just increase the battery capacity on the stingers themselves

I think either way there’d be signal and latency issues at that range. Not a problem for fixed wings because they fly more predictably but quads are required more active piloting so signal loss can really screw you

But stale is when they’re the best lol

I love that tasty compacted sand

I think that would significantly impact the cost. To be far enough away to survive the explosion would require some sort of guidance system on the payload and the “parent” drone would need to be beefed up for the extra weight (from the added electronics and the battery to power the return flight.

I know they experimented with carrying a bunch of the DIY quads on large octocopters but I think they pivoted away from that

I’m like the only person I know IRL who likes it. The most common complaint is the texture but that’s my favorite part

My gut said no way that was true so I looked it up and was surprised to learn that Shaheds are only around 35k. I guessed 50-100k

I see Stings are reported to cost 1-5k. Unless the motors are $500 each (it’s possible), I’m guessing it’s closer to the low end so the math checks out

They’re both satire sites but only one is presented as such

It’s not a language thing, they do it to be quirky…

He showed me a bunch of similar videos…I should also be clear, he didn’t think the human actually turned into a lion - he thought it was some kind of stage illusion. He’s gullible but he doesn’t believe in literal magic

When Sora was launched, I made my dad watch a ton of the videos. Just so he’d know it wasn’t just possible, it was EASY to fake a video.

Didn’t stop him from asking me how an America’s Got Talent contestant turned himself into a lion, though lol

Every genre is homogenous if your only exposure to is “the hits”

First they came for AI country music, but I did not speak out because I was not a country fan

You posted this while I was typing a reply and it’s funny how similar our comments are lol

Not even close to the first Suno-generated “artist” to do well on streaming and this one was generated by a black woman so I’m not sure what it has to do with the industry being racist

Good example of someone who wasn’t paying attention to an issue until it affected them

Sure. But it’s not like the technology they developed is useless outside of an autonomous city, I’m sure they went into it knowing it would never be implemented for real.

Years ago, Microsoft was doing some R&D on autonomous vehicles in a mock city built for it. Instead of each vehicle doing all of the processing, the fake city was built with wireless markers to GIVE the car the information. Like instead of having to “see” a stop sign, the stop sign told cars it was there.

It would be complicated and expensive to implement on a mass scale but I thought it was a really cool idea.
