The AI’s phone screen design is…interesting
The bulbs themselves are amazing. There are good ones in cars and computers, the flash of phones etc.
The failure point is typically the electronic components that run or regulate it. And of course most companies want to sell more bulbs so they conveniently skimp on that stuff. So maybe the answer is a more expensive bulb that hopefully will last long enough to justify the extra cost?
I work with a K9 search and rescue team now and then. The team is very good at going deep into the woods looking for missing and/or dead people on scent trails that are sometimes over 24h old.
One of the ladies used a black tactical rig full of pouches. But instead of gun stuff it held gps devices, radios, dog treats, toys, water, collapsible bowls and a dozen other things for her and her dog.
So we geeked out for like five minutes over how useful it was. It’s a Condor Ronin Rig if anyone is curious
I’ve genuinely wondered what the sight picture would be like if you had two of the same red dots set up at each end of the rail like iron sights
Every handyman has a half finished project they’ll finish “someday”
No tool repairs droids and ships like a Ryobi Wan!
I would love to scoot around a city on a hover duck
I’m sorry for your loss
Doritos are triangles so sure
The heads up display isn’t something you see in front of you like most planes. The helmets are the heads up display, like augmented reality.
There are cameras all over the plane to help you see through the aircraft (see ground targets through the floor, nearby aircraft through your wing). Think of the resolution and bitrate needed to make it useful!
Just like how an apache gunner can simply look at a target to aim the gun at them you can do the same thing to get missile lock. And if you can’t hit it it’s still marked for every allied plane in the airspace to see. If you are out of missiles but you are tracking an enemy plane miles ahead, you can send the data to an F-15 miles behind you and let their missiles lock and fire from farther than they can engage alone.
With that in mind the radar is awesome letting it see threats from greater distances than the opposition, with the stealth capabilities good enough to keep them from easily doing the same.
I’m sure there are other surprises too, but the military obviously wants to keep those a secret
Now I won’t be able to unsee it
It would suck if poison ivy tea tasted really good
I genuinely think the best practical use of AI, especially language models is malicious manipulation. Propaganda/advertising bots. There’s a joke that reddit is mostly bots. I know there’s some countermeasures to sniff them out but think about it.
I’ll keep reddit as the example because I know it best. Comments are simple puns, one liner jokes, or flawed/edgy opinions. But people also go to reddit for advice/recommendations that you can’t really get elsewhere.
Using an LLM AI I could in theory make tons of convincing recommendations. I get payed by a corporation or state entity to convince lurkers to choose brand A over brand B, to support or disown a political stance or to make it seem like tons of people support it when really few do.
And if it’s factually incorrect so what? It was just some kind stranger™ on the internet
All I know is that I use socials to get away from political bullshit
I agree it’s a bit much you gotta tiptoe around it
Nothing comprehensive but the weapon holster company Trex Arms has a video review of the Einscan-SP that is like 5 years old.
Now I get that’s not super helpful but the interesting part is that they scanned a ton of handguns with combinations of optics, lights etc to make their holsters. They found out how tedious of a process it was so they made the files open source. So you can see the quality you’ll expect when you compare spec sheets to other stuff
Sometimes it feels like we’re running in rhombicosidodecahedrons
I think Kamala has much better odds than Biden did this time around. The assassination attempt on Trump was crazy and solidified his supporters.
I think it’s a closer race than either side thinks
Ice can be its weakness but as soon as ice magic is used on it the ship starts using signal rocket attacks
