Same

I was never really on Twitter (had an account that I never used). Tried mastodon recently to fill in some gaps from lemmy but there’s really no good way that I found, to follow interesting/active/popular people

If anyone knows what I did wrong I’d gladly take the suggestion (tbf I didn’t really bother to search but if you reply to me other people will also read it)

There’s still massive amounts of air pressure changes Those can definitely lift some smaller rocks

I got invited

Do you If I accept it and install the game if I will be able to invite other people or do I have to play for some time?

I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it

Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked

Quick 100$?

This one is still quite long

I wished he made his videos closer to the 20min mark

I’ll probably still watch it, but at almost 30mins it might take me some days to start it.

And the reheat button on microwave

I’m still mad that I have a shitty microwave now

That’s exactly why I do it

The s option is very useful to split the chunks.

I basically always do a git add -p

Very useful command and it works with other git commands as well.

Everytime a colleague asks me for help with git that’s the one rule I suggest them to use.

We’re all gonna die so it’s still a very much true statement

And I agree, much more dramatic

If only it was playable with a controller

Apple makes some really stupid products that they charge ridiculous money for and their usual stuff is more expensive than it needs to be but at least their core products are of very good quality. The same cannot be said of Tesla

In a concurring opinion, Chief Justice Tom Parker cited his religious beliefs and quoted the Bible to support the stance.

“Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself,” Parker wrote. “Even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory.”

wtf

I mean… do you trust that they won’t?

They probably will as soon as they can without significant losses.

They don’t require high internet speed at all. Why do you say that? You have to keep up with the network that creates a couple MBs of data every 10mins. That’s it. You need processing power and as such electricity but none of that requires high speed internet, quite the contrary. You can get away with a mobile data in most places.

I’ve read different stories. Of towns where cheap and renewable electricity can be made but it’s financially not viable especially at the start. So Bitcoin miners were used to sell the excess energy and that made the project possible. In a way something like Bitcoin can create a global price/demand for electricity which can have its advantages like I mentioned or disadvantages like you mentioned.

The thing that everyone misses in these comparisons is that yes that’s the energy that VISA expended to make these transactions but for a crypto currency the energy use isn’t even to make the transaction. In the end each transaction is a few Bytes of data that have no difficulty getting across the world (much like this post or any comment). The energy use is so “high” because that’s is used to secure the currency. And of course that’s a much harder comparison to make but a fairer one.

How much energy does the the banking system actually use? How much energy is used to secure the US dollar for example?

You have to account for the entirety of it. That’s like saying that F1 doesn’t pollute all that much because they use bio fuel and the cars are very energy efficient, completely disregarding the fact that the majority of the pollution is in the constant global shipping of cars and gear, as well as R & D

Don’t forget the misogynistic and racist component of his comment.

That isn’t there so people use it. That is there so that Facebook can track where you go

You are way too defensive and triggered for the “authority” you supposedly have. And I do believe you. Also you gotta learn to chill and read. I’m not moving goal posts here, you just like to rant. Also big lol at your first paragraph in this comment. Hilarious irony there. Loved it.

Answering your comment and trying to wrap the discussion (I’m not gonna block you lol, what are you even talking about about). What I disagreed with your original argument is that doing a bridge inspector isn’t just getting some semi-pro pilot with an expensive but generic drone with a fancy camera. Snap some photos from a few meters distance and bam, job is done and you inspect one side of a small bridge in 1 flight. That’s it. It was pretty clearly laid out in my comments. To get any meaningful data you basically want/need to get as close as possible. And this usually means actually touching the object you are inspecting. You allegedly have experience in this field so I don’t need to tell you that “regular” drones (and by regular I mean not collision tolerant) don’t like to fly very close to large metallic structures. I’m sure you can guess why.

Not that it matters but yes, I have more than 5 years of experience as a Robotics Engineer working with drones. For my masters thesis I designed, simulated and coded my own control and estimation loops for a drone with tilting motors. You don’t even have to be from a Stem background to tune PIDs. They are stupidly simple but for most cases they are more than good enough. And yes I have a mechanical engineering degree (MSc). Anything that I said is wrong?

I didn’t disagree about the costs reduction. First these drones are still somewhat new in what I assume is an old school field. Also expensive af. Second usually they are usually performed by service providers. If a bridge inspections costs X and the provider can do it with a drone for like 1/4, then he isn’t going to charge that. He’s going to charge 3/4 because it’s a win/win situation. And because of the first point maybe you don’t have that many providers. Also because the drones need to be specialized, and not just any drone for aerial photography or mapping. Lastly regulation. That is always a PITA and more so with drones.

Edit: I actually went and read the article and the 30% are not at all related to bridge inspection cost. It’s basically a 30% reduction in some trajectory planning cost function because it takes into account the wind conditions. So yea kind of a useless discussion
