Technology@lemmy.world•Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100English
4·10 days agoMaybe profit isn’t the only motive…
I’m guessing you started seeing things about the EM drive and reactionless thrust.
Unrah particles with wavelengths longer than the width of the universe kinda stuff.
I’m an engineer, with a great interest in physics.
I’m also a skeptic, so from my point of view. I would look at a similar scenario, that exists in nature.
Assume an asteroid is accelerating toward a black hole, does it radiate away the excess energy above expected level to account for the excess Unrah radiation it absorbs?
Does it only become apparent, when close to the event horizon, where it is masked by the other debris heating the asteroid?
I can’t give you an answer, but I would assume there is no free lunch. The Unruh energy would not exceed the energy to accelerate the craft.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•We're having a kid, any dull advice to make it easier for my wife during pregnancy or for both of us once the beb is here?English
51·16 days agoA bunch of other stuff has been covered, so I’ll just talk about communication.
Talking to teachers, preschool especially; kids are coming in with worse and worse communication skills.
The #1 bit of advice to have a kid that speaks well; talk to your baby, regularly,like about everything you are doing with/to them. Before they can speak they are learning words; phrasing and cadence.
I read somewhere years ago, before our first baby; that, babies learn new words when they are spoken to directly, they cement how to use those words when they hear their parents use words with others.
Edit: “baby speak” is not required…speak normally; singing however is great they love it.

Hardware@lemmy.world•The Handheld Linux Platform Kit Is "Capable of Practically Anything," Its Creators PromiseEnglish
201·17 days ago“Capable of Practically Anything”
No cellular connectivity…so anything except the one thing that makes a portable device in a “phone-like” form factor useful.
Yes it can do cool stuff; but I can’t replace the other portable device with it…
Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Technology@lemmy.world•Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup's robots could 'fracture a human skull'English
16·27 days agoGot nothing to do with being humanoid.
Bipedal predators are a rounding error, probably the most effective hunter/killer robot would be dog shaped and medium dog sized, with a back mounted turret.
Give it pack tactics, with radio comms…

It is psychologically satisfying to believe DK, but ultimately just because you like the sound of it, doesn’t make it true.

4·4 months agoThe comparison is looking very favorable to Australia currently.
If you use the thousands of kiwis, moving there permanently, every month as a yardstick.

Na, it’s just one “should”
- “You are so smart, you should be a xxxxx”
- “you should find this easy, why didn’t you pass”
- “you got 97%, you should concentrate on what you got wrong”
- “you should work harder, you could be great”

Technology@lemmy.world•Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill GatesEnglish
1·4 months agoI get that, why import stuff that you produce locally…
I try to never get imported food products that we make here… It just seems wasteful.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Please spare me from having to get in touch with that shit I wrote back thenEnglish
22·4 months agoI had a less experienced person with me looking at some code.
I pointed out that a particular section of code is shit; just bad form, hard to debug and generally unpleasant to work with. I noted that the person that wrote this didn’t really know what they were doing, sure the code works and has been working for a long time, but this is not how we would do things.
They asked “wow, who wrote this?” I replied “it was me 13 years ago”; it is a great ice breaker, in a non-critical part of the system, new people realize we all have to start somewhere.
It also allows me to go over the standards we use, why we use them and how to simplify debugging.

So if someone was to hypothetically label an image in a blog or a article; as something other than what it is?
Or maybe label an image that appears twice as two similar but different things, such as a screwdriver and an awl.
Do they have a specific labeling schema that they use; or is it any text associated with the image?
