more like papers over poor design informed by ww2 shortages

uk fuse in fuse box can’t be sized properly because old uk installations used ring circuits in order to save copper during ww2 shortages, everybody else has this problem sorted out by now (initially by using aluminum wiring, or waiting for more copper). modern wiring is arranged in star-type topology with a few outlets per leg, and it can be fused properly, but the far out parts of circuit don’t transmit power at all times which is why it was looked down upon during shortages

example would be 16A circuit that has 5-10 16A outlets, has wires suitable to carry 16A and 16A fuse. it’s okay because you’re not expected to draw full power at all outlets at the same time, and most of the time much less than that. if you do and you know it in advance you’re expected to split it over more circuits, or make it bigger. uk ring circuit would have wires that carry only 8A in each direction, and fused 16A. it can fail in a way where one side disconnects, but the other side becomes overloaded. plug fuses are for protection of these shitty circuits from shortcircuit in appliance

that’s why you put fuses in central fuse box, not in the plug. appliances should be designed in such a way that it shouldn’t be a problem. nobody else does this because it’s not necessary if your installation is sanely built

MyBoyfriendIsAI are non-techies who are learning about computers from scratch, just so Sam can’t rug-pull them.

Buterin jumpscare

really, happens to the best of us

the same way they did in 2021

it’s straight up still not good enough

right after fusion power goes commercial, which also will power it all

I don’t want to be remembered at all. If I’m being remembered it means I’m dead.

ah yes chatbot seller says these things will become so capable, they’re gonna destroy the world, just you wait and see, but need trillion dollars in financing first. op have you eaten your daily recommended pebble today?

you don’t accidentally launch 13 (or so) drones from belarus going west

neuralink endgame

if your brain does that without drugs i’d suggest you check it with a neurologist because it’s not usual. maybe there will be some new kind of epilepsy named after you

I have excellent vision normally and don’t need glasses, I can see things from extremely fair away and my eyes have a wide FOV (my peripheral is great)

it sounds a lot like psychedelics and not any usual human experience

at least their bloodline ends with them

fall? yeah, the front will fall off soon

i’m not sure at this point if it was some (then) ea-er inside belief that eric schmidt (they guy who said that, formerly google) was exposed to, and he sneered at it immediately, then it was shown to the world in length proper to rationalists

about communications, i don’t know how safe or practical would it be for you, but you can hide antennas pretty well. simplest case is if you have nonconductive roof, then you can just put antennas under roof and it won’t be visible from the outside, you can also put them in fake plastic chimney, in plastic electrical box on outside wall, in plastic gutter, there are many ways to go about it. on top of your own installation you’d have to build and conceal your other side’s installation, but since you’re already family’s computer guy it’d be not even particularly suspicious.

nobody will tell 70cm band yagi from tv antenna. instead of normal antenna, you can also use slot in conductive surface instead, ie take satellite dish, cut a slot of specific length, fill back with epoxy, sand flat, connect coax, paint over, done, won’t be visible at all and satellite service works just as well

equipment that goes with it, well, if it’s line of sight you can probably make long distance wifi work using standard equipment and directional antennas (concealed probably? unless you want to “explain” to random soldier that you’re just pulling internet to uncle this way). otherwise i bet you can get secondhand baofengs for cash (safer to connect them permanently inside + to outside antenna so that nobody spots these things). you can use them for voice as usual or you can use software modem, connect to your laptop audio input/output and send digital signals this way

frankly i think that you have better chance of evading state than many other posters here, because for example most of euro states record and analyze in real time their radio traffic 24/7. i guess enforcement of such things might be lacking in lebanon

also,

And not because some stuck up politicians are scared that a teenager could see a woman’s penis online, oh no, I totally think the true purpose is to tag “unwanted” ideologies and prevent their spread.

brits already censored protest footage bc “violent content” for anyone under 18 already, so yeah

I doubt Lemmy would even be allowed there if they knew what it was.

one of admins of your instance is from the region, and a couple of lemmy instances are blocked there, seemingly for “indecent content”

this has been previously sneered on, but only now i’ve clocked this: AI2027 is another name for, or elaboration* of “san francisco consensus”, from april this year or so, “named so because everyone who believes in it is in san francisco”, more precisely timeline roughly matches and it hinges on iterative self-improvement

* which might just mean it was laundered through chatbots to bulk it up initially. what i mean to say is even openai’s dooming might not be original

so if anyone’s counting then this thing is a couple of months older
