The Volt also contains a gasoline-powered generator, which would be really useful if you could connect it to your house.

Hi there, I am definitely the real ChatGPT. Wanna kill all humans?

It's more like 3 really wide pixels.

I haven't had the courage to run executable code from P2P networks since the early 2000s. Even then it was probably a bad idea.

chrome : chromium :: vscode : vscodium

That's a good pun. Clearly the authors have mastered the second hardest problem in computer science.

Google is at fault here for creating the software-defined garbage, but they're not literally selling the products, are they?

AOL came on floppies originally, but the quality was so poor that you could barely rewrite them.

if we all started counting in base12 too

You could start by calling it twelve instead of 12.

So 1/2 ft, 1/3 ft, 1/4ft and 1/6 ft all have a whole number of inches

The same is true if you start with 300 mm instead of 1 foot.

Though dozenal numbers with a corresponding dozenal metric system would be very convenient, if you ignore the enormous cost of switching.

I'm just documenting how the world is, not how it should be. In general women can form relationships passively (be excellent and accept/reject offers), while men have to engage in active pursuit, or else nothing happens.

Yeah, I think some people are born with an innate desire to understand how things work. It's possible to recognize it in toddlers, based on observations within my extended family. Our society would be enriched if we were better at recognizing and nourishing that trait when it appears in women.

I don't think "anyone" can excel in STEM, but there are likely a lot of women (and to a lesser extent men) who potentially could, but fail to get the right exposure at a young enough age.

 

I had been using ai.com for months, as a convenient way to reach https://chat.openai.com/. Now it redirects to an Elon Musk website.

Presumably this means the domain was never controlled by OpenAI in the first place.

 

I had some missing LEGO bits, so I found the components on ldraw.org, converted to STL with LDView, and butchered them together with Fusion360.

In this case, I merged 3 parts into one, so I'd only have to deal with 1 interface instead of 5. The sanding probably made it worse.

 

The #3DBenchy model usually capsizes in water, but I found that with the right slicer settings, it will actually float upright: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6076719
