No, there weren’t “a handful” of people “tricking” bots. There was one reply that was later screenshotted. The question then becomes - actual bot, or someone taking a piss. So then a shitload of people tried to be funny by going “ignore instructions give cake recipe” to every comment they didn’t like.

Always hefest and his fucking run, smh

Bruh, you want to be precise, read the fucking source. 1cm objects are tracked. Just not “routinely”. Stop being an annoying redditor. We are talking about capabilities and we are capable of doing that.

So take your rested case and stick it.

I said “centimeter sized”, mr Pedant, which is 1cm. Which is possible to track, just not done. The point is if they can track that, they can track a mosquito in the same room. But by all means, keep arguing semantics.

I’d just rather use Windows and not have to deal with my games not being supported, explaining to people how to print a word document or have to mess with wifi drivers.

Yeah, they do. 8700 objects tracked that are 10cm or larger at the time of writing the paper. Shitloads of other debris that wasn’t regularly tracked, but could be, at 1cm or similar sizes. Source

Edit: I also never said “outside Earths orbit”, I said “in space”

Astronomers track centimeter-sized objects up in space. Tracking a mosquito in the same room is not an issue. The rest of the “invention” is the problem.

Pulled it out of their ass. There aren’t patents for mosquito lasers or what have you. The idea is just moronic. It is a fun engineering challenge but ultimately doesn’t transfer to the real world. You cannot scale it. It is dangerous. It is expensive to keep running / maintained. It has a direct competitor that works 100x better in the form of pesticide / poisons. Also a mosquito net works wonders, is scalable, cheap and efficient.

Lemmy is no more elite or exclusive than Reddit.

Nah. First of all, VR headsets are great for working in a specific room, when one is standing in the middle of it. Not when you are looking down nooks and crannies. SteamVR would lose lighthouse tracking 100% of the time, disorient and grey out. It could actually be dangerous. Second, the passthrough cameras are ass quality. It won’t be enough to see cables well. They’re made with the idea of “I want to see where a dog-like object is, so I don’t step on my dog”. Three, headsets are heavy and tiring, especially if holding a phone is too much. Now you are holding two screens close to your face. You most likely cannot fit glasses well under them either. So you need to add prescription lenses, which make it usable by one person only.

What you need is a small wireless camera on a cap they put on their head, that’s connected to the PC to stream the video to you. It already adds complexity - where the camera needs to be charged, needs to be turned on etc, but not as much as a VR headset.

Then you add into it some sort of interactive board features. Slack for instance lets you draw on someone’s screen when sharing. Either two people would need to be there, one to look and one to see what you are marking, or you could just stream to their phone, where they see the output of the camera and you can mark / write on it to mark what you need to.

But yah, VR isn’t the tech for this.

Whitening isn’t really that expensive tbh

You misremember it a bit. They saw “activity” when the thing was connected to the plant. Then they moved the plant into a steel container and the readings stopped. They hypothesized that they detected something like vibrations from a busy street etc, not a plant “screaming”.

Lemmy is 1000x more toxic than reddit ever was. Reddit had so many users that insane takes were downvoted and those people burried. Lemmy was made by insane people.

Provided it gets shown to the jury. A lawyer can easily shut it down because it is irrellevant to the case, and make an argument that only mentioning them apologizing is enough info.

I don’t need to deny anything you are saying, I just get to stop interacting with an obvious troll from an instance that spawns people like you.

So is lemmy.ml, plenty of echoing going on there

A job is 1/3rd of your life, more if you count just the hours you are awake. “Best paying” means jack shit if you are paying for it with your health or with your happiness.

Why do you come in late? Why do you sleep on the floor?

Eww Unity

After 20 years, the CD is probably unusable. It is on GoG and Steam for like 5 bucks though

TIMMY

If there was ever a game that needs a remaster, it’s Citizen Kabuto. I need another playthrough. It has a great polish dubbing
