Mo3··on Tesla drives into Wile E. Coyote fake road wall in camera vs. Lidar test
Aside of all the other obvious reasons to not get a Tesla these days this is #1 imo. Camera feeds and a neural network are not enough for self driving, no matter how much they're training. Never ever.
Mo3··on How to boil great eggs 80% of the time
For those who have a rice cooker, it's absolutely perfect to cook a batch of hard boiled eggs in. Getting the amount of water right takes a few tries but worst case you just have to turn it off manually.
Mo3··on Warning users that upvote violent content
And the astroturfing and bots. So much in the bigger subs.
Mo3··on Uber users in Austin are getting matched with Waymo robotaxis
.. wow. That makes so much sense.

> While it is crucial to approach patients suffering from PDS with caution, as they are volatile and prone to violence with little to no warning, it is important to continue

Aw man.. ChatGPT..

Mo3··on Prepare now for a potential H5N1 pandemic
I think many are suffering from traumatic amnesia of sorts. It took me a good few seconds after reading this to remember the makeshift hospitals.
Mo3··on How do I best get this business off the ground?
The application is essentially ready to go live immediately - robust payment pipeline exists and both landing pages and actual UI are polished.

> Then and only then make a pitch deck and reach out to angel investors

Yes, but herein lies the problem I'm facing. I don't have the initial capital necessary for business structures that allow for equity shares. So the only thing I can personally do right now without outside help is a sole proprietorship - which in return is afaik unsuitable for any kind of investment activity. I'd be willing to convert the business structure / start off immediately with a suitable structure if I had the funding required, but..

Mo3··on Power grid in Central Europe uses unencrypted radio to add and shed loads
I mean Russia for example has been busy sabotaging undersea cables and the likes already, it's not like kinetic conflict would necessary be needed for such a scenario. Especially considering there's no direct way of even finding out who did it - no physical presence needed - no tracking like with ships..
Mo3··on DeepSeek-R1
> Let's think: developers? No, too similar

Ouch

Mo3··on Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT
Wait so... they made the LLM itself control the scheduling?

Yeah that's not gonna end well. I thought they, of all people, would know the limitations and problems.

Mo3··on Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice
Aw, too bad I can't have whey because of my lactose intolerance. :(
Mo3··on Narcolepsy is weird but I didn't notice
.. definitely not for me. I just descend into progressive unconsciousness, dreaming starts way later when I'm already out cold for an hour. Not once have they started when I was falling asleep
Mo3··on Commercial tea bags release microplastics, entering human cells
Not only of science papers, I recently bought new shampoo and it has a "0% microplastics" label, on its plastic bottle.. it's milking people's emotions for money, like usual
Mo3··on What we know about CEO shooting suspect
Plus, the release of all these unofficial pictures, and his capture being paraded by the media. They're trying to set an example.
Mo3··on Show HN: Built a macOS menubar app to track salary in real-time, now on the web
Fun idea. I guess the motivational aspect depends on your salary.. being a SSE in the EU this would rather demotivate me lol. 24k/month? Yeah, that would motivate me as well
Mo3··on Two decades after Enron's bankruptcy, the company is back as a crypto firm?
Alcoholics anonymous?
Mo3··on I Was Wrong About Scrum, Again
Shape up is so far superior
Mo3··on FakeTraveler: Fake where your phone is located (Mock location for Android)
Google's knowledge of your location is much more detailed than only your phones GPS location.

- Billing addresses for Google Play

- Wifi and cellular networks seen by your Android devices

- IP addresses and other identifiers of all devices you used to access Google services (mobile and web)

- GPS metadata in pictures uploaded to Google Images and Drive

- Documents with addresses such as bills in your Google Drive and Gmail

And probably much more that I can't think of right now.

The Google Play store country however can be changed once per year, but you need a valid billing method originating from this country.

Mo3··on Reverse-engineering my speakers' API to get reasonable volume control
Which speakers would you recommend in that price range?
Mo3··on A Swiss town banned billboards. Zurich, Bern may soon follow
I'm sure they do
Mo3··on Doctor-prescribed videogame for ADHD
I have ADHD-PI and am medicated. I too believe this cannot substitute medication in anything but less severe cases (if that even exists), but I cannot overstate the importance and usefulness of coping mechanisms and attention training. It really defines to some extent whether medication is necessary and in which form (only working hours, all waking hours, etc). Now, granted, for some even building habits and a routine is impossible (like me sometimes too), and then medication fixes some issues and one starts to almost automagically create habits and routines.

I've gone years unmedicated when I had a less demanding and more lax work environment and daily focus meditation has helped a great deal. If I'm not mistaken some video games have also vastly improved and kept alive quick reaction times and delayed reward mindset - stuff that this game seemingly also does - training being less impulsive and overriding other, negative habits.

It makes perfect sense - video games can release high amounts of dopamine on demand, while in our daily lives we lack release in key moments. Synaptic plasticity, learning and memory is dopamine dependent. In a dopamine deprived brain, if timed correctly, these sudden releases can be extremely habit-forming and beneficial.

I've read through their whole website and nowhere is mentioned that this is supposed to replace necessary medication. It's simply another tool in the toolbox, and as such should absolutely not be disregarded. I can 100% see this being extremely helpful and would love to try it out - unfortunately the apps are only available in US app stores.

Nuclear is still by the far the best in any kind of metric

Same logic as "Biden caused inflation"

Mo3··on Postzegelcode
And how would you invalidate the generated codes after 5 days? And is this even scalable to more than one Postzegelcode in circulation?
Mo3··on FCC rule would make carriers unlock all phones after 60 days
They used to be SIM and/or carrier locked here in west Europe, until if I remember correctly 10-15 years ago
Mo3··on Amazon fined $5.9M for breaking labor law in California
Surely the fines will become exponentially bigger every time they are caught doing the same, right?
Mo3··on What Do Google's AI Answers Cost the Environment?
Uhm, well even if it was for usage that's a pretty small amount of emissions. For training abysmally small
Mo3··on Study finds a quarter of bosses hoped RTO would make employees quit
.... now all the RTO propaganda makes a bit more sense.
Mo3··on Desktop Linux is an Untapped Gold Mine
I mean... nuisance... maybe 10 years ago or if you try to install Arch from source, but nowadays the big distros all have very nice and beginner friendly installers. Totally on par with Windows, if not even more user friendly because you don't have to deal with forced logins and navigating dark patterns.
Mo3··on Space secrets leak disclosure
I legit thought someone leaked proof of extraterrestrial life and disclosure began.

Another day..
