Veritasium(?) has a video about jerry cans that boils down to "Surprise! The Germans over-engineered the crap out of these!" and how most modern ones aren't as good because its significantly cheaper to make ones that just look similar.

Still better than the plastic ones usually but you kind of have to hunt for the older style at this point to get the best of the best.

Which is the point. It's not good, it meets the spec.

Sometimes the spec means it's overbuilt compared to a civilian version. A lot of the time someone not-the-government is willing to pay more for different features than the spec.

An AR trigger going to a 19 year old just out of basic does not need to be match quality. Most of them suck as marksmen. Most of them will rarely shoot a rifle after basic because their MOS doesn't require it, and they don't need a good (read: more expensive) trigger to qualify for basic competence.

Gain of salt because it's the university's press release but seems like a really cool machine learning project.

My question is if that number is set/used separately in all those places why isn't it defined somewhere more centrally. It's silly that you need to update so many files for such a simple change.

It's isolated forest and mountains. There's along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.

Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it's police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.

FWIW apparently for polo it's the people that own the horses that need to be wealthy, because horses, and you have to have a lot of horses. The riders are usually doing it for fun and/or because they're good enough to get asked back.

This is going off the Jon Huertas episode of Once We Were Spacemen podcast so you know, grain of salt.

With VSCode say, it gives you a live diff for every change. Loads the file you're working on and any in the project it thinks it needs into context. Streamlines the process while (assuming you're not insane enough to set it to auto accept everything) keeping you in the loop to review changes.

Absolutely needs babysitting because if it twinges on the wrong stackoverflow post from 10 years ago or whatever it'll start asking for root access to modify drivers instead of modifying the php.

Just to run the joke into the ground.

Dude was so tech illiterate he didn't know you could change the laptop power settings for it to not go to sleep when the lid was closed. Was bragging about toting his laptop around half open and pushing himself as an advanced AI tech bro. Which, who knows, he might be. They all seem to have grifted an insane amount of money with no actual knowledge.

Thing is, in the movie he then reverses course to get the world spinning the right way again. He changes the rotation twice. I feel like the "visual representation of time travel" explanation is from people who haven't watched the whole movie, just the clip.

Maybe he overshot and went too far into the past and had to catch up, with raises the question why he didn't stop everything bad in the movie by punching Lex Luthor right at the start...

This video shows the whole sequence, he un-reverses the Earth's spin at ~1:38.

Fair enough. Really appreciate the work ya'll have put into this, definitely going to have to mess around with it. Just brought it up because of the community this is in.

Are only VPS relay's supported at the moment? Presumably so the feed is accessible over the web?

I get that the project seems to be going for replicating a ring/wyze/etc style experience but being able to self-host a relay somehow seems like a logical addition. Would probably have to disavow connecting outside of the home network and leave that the responsibility of the user.

They've done those studies and context switching has historically been where the most problems occur. Whether they've repeated them with modern electronic medical records and systems, I don't know. I think most people agree there's probably a better middle ground between 8 hr shifts (3 handoffs a day) and the standards set by a dude who liked to experiment with coke and meth.

One of the big issues that I feel like doesn't get touched on as much is longer shifts allow less doctors, which reinforces the artificially low doctor graduation rates. The national board in the US pegs the graduation at X thousand new doctors every year and that number is mostly tradition / vibes. No we don't want to compromise on the ability of new doctors, but "gestures vaguely to US healthcare" good lord do we need more of them. Much the same could be said for nurses.

And all of that circles back around to not wanting to dilute traditionally higher paying job markets with more practitioners because the for-profit system will try to wring out every cent they can.
