  • European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

    Jump

  • The implication is that it's your own blood, but I like the planning/forethought. I think you'll be going places. Probably at a run.

  • Tinder to ban web developers who use 'engineer' in their bio

    Jump

  • And, unlike engineers in manufacturing whose deep-pocket corporations bought an exemption, Engineers in the A/E/C field are licensed. And if you screw up you can lose your ability to work in your field…forever.

  • Meta will delete all non-migrated Oculus accounts in March - The Verge

    Jump

  • Feel the hate. Let it flow through you.

  • ATT’s botched network update caused yesterday’s major wireless outage

    Jump

  • Not to defend them or minimize the corporate stupidity, but it sounded like there were less than 100k people affected out of tens of millions (100m?) accounts. I get that it was a big deal for those affected, but a 0.1% outage doesn’t seem “major”.

  • Saudi Arabia’s Secret Plan To Keep Us Hooked On Oil

    Jump

  • Fun fact: the USA is the largest producer of oil in the world, extracting 50% more than it's closest rivals (Russia and SA) annually. And we've been on top for years.

  • Trump is suddenly in need of a lot of cash. That’s everyone’s problem.

    Jump

  • A man commanding the largest military on the planet who is in substantial personal debt and has no moral compass of any type is, unfortunately, everyone’s problem.

  • Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck

    Jump

  • The description of an unexpected/(impossible) orientation for an on road obstacle works as an excuse, right up to the point where you realize that the software should, explicitly, not run into anything at all. That’s got to be, like, the first law of (robotic) vehicle piloting.

    It was just lucky that it happened twice as, otherwise, Alphabet likely would have shrugged it off as some unimportant, random event.

  • Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra

    Jump

  • I would prefer they brought back the actual shipping part. Not this $169/yr for “best effort 3-10 days depending on our mood” they want me to pay for.

  • FCC gets tough: Telcos must now tell you when your personal info is stolen | Yep, cell carriers didn’t have to do this before

    Jump

  • Because AI and Crypto use so much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy?

    Jump

  • On the flip side, global banking processes something like 5+ orders of magnitude more transactions than ETH, so even at the low end it’s 1000x more efficient than the most well known POS coin.

  • Junior Dev VS Machine Learning

    Jump

  • You could say the same for a finite element model. A junior engineer with just 4 years of training can solve, explicitly, the deflection at the center of a slender, simple-simple beam of prismatic section and produce an exact (if slightly incorrect) answer. Building a FEM of the same can solve the problem and take longer (to make the model) with similar accuracy, both of which are good enough for design work.

    Only a fool wouldn’t have a FEM around though, as it can solve problem that would take centuries for a human to solve. They may as well make a cartoon with the child digging a 3” hole in beach sand and then showing a backhoe making a jagged edged hole of the same size.

  • Ukraine appears to be attacking Russia's oil-and-gas industry with small, cheap drones that can bypass its air defenses

    Jump

  • That puts a smile on my face.

  • 23andMe’s fall from $6 billion to nearly $0 — a valuation collapse of 98% from its peak in 2021

    Jump

  • What's worse is when you think there's a discussion starting because it's "hot" and there's a comment thread started...only to find that the only comment in the body is the summary bot.

  • 23andMe’s fall from $6 billion to nearly $0 — a valuation collapse of 98% from its peak in 2021

    Jump

  • It’s a link bot. the Reddit refugees felt it necessary to write bots to link spam lemmy so it felt busy here.

  • It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription

    Jump

  • Prime used to mean something. Guaranteed 2 day shipping with no minimum for no extra charge. $5 for next day shipping. Then next day disappeared. Then the 2 day guarantee disappeared. Then delivery times were in the 3-5 day range for most things. Then, in my university town, around the time of students returning to school for terms it would be 1-2 weeks. I’m not paying an ever increasing annual fee for that.

  • Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her

    Jump

  • Interpretive dance or GTFO

  • Another successful Honeywell T6 install

    Jump

  • I wish I could figure out the code to get my T6 to control the Confortotal mini split I got off eBay. I have to think they’re using some genetic code base, but I couldn’t find a matching one.

  • A drug cartel has attacked a remote Mexican community with drones and gunmen, rights group says

    Jump

  • Doubtful. 20 years in Afghanistan bought us nothing. Half a century of meddling in the rest of central America has produced refugee waves. While we could, theoretically, try to assist the Mexican government with funds we’d probably fuck that up too.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test

    Jump

  • Any braking without energy recovery is wildly wasteful. Public transit (busses, trains) are fucking terrible wastes of energy due to their large mass and frequent stops. Hybrid and/or electric busses are, in this respect, potentially far superior to their diesel counterparts. I'm not a train person (engineer...train...haha) but I don't think even the all electric trains use regenerative braking and there are few battery powered trains in service.

    I've spent the last year altering my driving habits when I can. I try not to be an asshole when others are around/in traffic, but when I'm not pressed I will coast to a stop as much as possible (esp uphill) and use hills to gain momentum. Over 6000 miles, I've raised my overall mpg around 18%.
