“My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”

For a bit more context, this is the fan project “Bloodborn Kart” with its IP serial numbers filed off.

It’s still surreal to see OpenAI’s need for training data be so vast that they casually developed and open sourced a generational leap in transcription technology just so that they could scrape online videos better.

Shout out to Steven Universe giving their main character a shield.

The Hard Fork podcast had a pretty good episode recently where they interviewed one of the engineers on the project. They’d troubleshooted the spacecraft enough in the past that they weren’t starting from square one, but it still sounded pretty difficult.

Modern satellites are protected by various means of encryption, but there’s an enthusiast community that tracks down and communicates with very old unencrypted zombie satellites. There’s even been an NGO which managed to fire rockets on an abandoned NASA/ESA probe (with their approval.)

The Voyagers benefits primarily from the lack of groups with an adequate deep space network to communicate with it. Their communication standards are otherwise completely open and well documented.

I still cannot believe NASA managed to re-establish a connection with Voyager 1.

That scene from The Martian where JPL had a hardware copy of Pathfinder on Earth? That’s not apocryphal. NASA keeps a lot of engineering models around for a variety of purposes including this sort of hardware troubleshooting.

It’s a practice they started after Voyager. They shot that patch off into space based off of old documentation, blueprints, and internal memos.

It’s a soup made with chicken broth, shredded chicken, tomatoes, onion, garlic, herbs, spices, and semi-submerged crispy corn products. They’re some authentic Mexican versions, and some incredibly TexMex versions. The black beans and corn put this firmly in the yeehaw territory, but it’s at least got some freshly toasted pasilla chiles and fried corn tortillas.

Thanks for the nudge, meant to post this earlier!

What are you talking about? Macs are wildly popular dev machines.

The two hardest problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

It’s not literally about the color of the bubbles. Pictures sent over SMS are compressed down to postage stamp sizes, and group chats with mixed iPhone and Android users have some really wonky behavior. Green bubble bullying isn’t an in-group out-group social status thing. Folks are upset with the one Android user in their 8 person group text for making all of their experiences worse.

How much green bubbles chaff against you is going to vary wildly based on your personal messaging style. If your family texting group is all on the same platform and your friends all communicate on a messaging app or Discord, you’re basically never going to encounter green bubble issues. If your family, friends, work, and other social groups all live on text messaging, it can start to feel like more of an issue.

It’s 2024 on Lemmy. Even Android fans have been kind of lukewarm on Google. Did you read anything coming out of their recent antitrust case with Epic, or the recent YouTube Music firings?

My favorite compile error happened while I was taking a Haskell class.

ghc: panic! (the ‘impossible’ happened)

The issue is plainly stated, and it provides clear next steps to the developer.

Keep Calm and Disregard the 1202 Alarm.

Chicken tortilla soup with a healthy dose of lime! My local taco place does a soup special when it gets cold, and I’ve had this one enough that I wanted to try and recreate it. I usually skew more towards stews in chilly weather, but this soup’s on my short list next time I’m in the mood for something brothy.

It sounds like there might not be much in your stew to thicken it. The beef fat helps a bit, but you can toss the beef chunks in flour to give the stew a bit more body. This recipe I used just straight up has you add some unflavored powdered gelatin to it to give you that coating-the-back-of-a-spoon texture.

I’ve used red wine and beef in dishes together in the past. Usually you just need something a little salty to balance the sweetness out. The UK condiment marmite usually does the trick for me, although soy sauce can work in a pinch.

Nah, it just has a few stout pints in it.

…okay, but for real though. It’d be nice if the Texas power grid kept hangin’ in there.
