You still need to fire an engine on the far side of your orbit though which makes it more difficult as it still needs to be able to propel itself (while surviving the acceleration)
- Comment on A new study found adaptive traffic signals powered by big data reduced peak-hour travel times by 11% in China’s 100 most congested cities – saving 31.73 million tonnes of CO₂ annually. 1 day ago:
Look for a square or an X (or a square with an X in it) right Infront of the stop line for the lights. If it’s there, that detects a car waiting.
There may be more of them further up the road to detect more cars waiting/arriving.
They tend not to detect cyclists, so I often have to move to the side and wave cars forward so lights on side streets will change.

I consider temperature and fan controls to be safety critical for demisting windows etc for example.

Looks to be about 50/50 between the dictionaries I looked at. Wikipedia includes friends in it’s definition.

My understanding is that is included in nepotism nowadays (used to be family only, now more general)
- Comment on AI Killed The Tech Interview. Now What? 1 week ago:
My favourite tech interview technique was the code review style. Give them some code with a range of deliberate issues and ask them to code review it live on the call.
Tests their code comprehension and as you can ask them questions live, it’s reasonably AI proof (I think). You can ask them to refactor things on the call, which tends to be something AI is weak at. It also requires no take home work for the applicant.
My company has just said that AI use in the interview is fine, but we will be asking questions as they work through it to check they actually understand things.

That’s a lot of useful info, thanks!

What do you want to run in a VM that can’t run in Docker?
a VM with torrent client and a killswitched VPN was the easiest way to get a secure setup. also meant if it ever got virused I could just roll it back. I need to look more into what docker can actually do by the looks of it.
You are the second person to suggest unraid - is it ok to sit on the perpetual license (for a few years at a time), or are the updates really required? It supports GPU passthrough right, so I can have a ‘normal’ linux desktop for gaming while running the other stuff in the background?
TY for the response!
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
I only know of it from LTT videos I think, not exactly the best endorsement!
That’s a lot of data (relatively)! Are you paying for the unraid license yearly, or just sitting on an old version?
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
Here ya go: selfh.st/apps/
oooh, TY! Now to guess which ones will still be maintained in 5 years 😆
I guess I must as well have a play with some stuff like jellyfin to see if its useful. The ‘server’ in this case would have a 6 year old GPU in it, so should hopefully have enough grunt.
Thanks for the info!
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
ah sorry, my new ISP gave me a router, but it doesn’t have any VPN functionality on it. My old one probably can’t support the speed, and for some reason doesn’t let me change its MAC address, so I can’t use it as the ISP facing device.
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
I’m paying for a static IP (and to get of cg-nat)
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
what benefit does a new router give over just putting the VPN software on the RP for example?
- Comment on New to self-hosting 1 week ago:
That’s some nice documentation - way overkill for what I need though.
Out of interest - Why is the VPS required, and why the mention of a non residential IP address? Could that not all be hosted locally if your ISP has given you a static IP address?

- Comment on Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports 2 weeks ago:
The cross licensing deal between AMD & Intel collapses if one gets bought out. Here is an old article that’s probably still accurate that describes it. (Has some great quotes that have not aged well…
If that’s still true, a buyout might end up killing x86/x64 in favour of arm etc.
I also don’t think trump would agree without relocating TSMCs HQ to the US or something. Competition is good anyway, we really don’t want to be in a situation where there is only one fab company with anywhere near too tech.

- Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G. 3 weeks ago:
Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents? My commute has quite a few areas with good (full or almost full) ‘signal’ but with the no internet exclamation mark.
That’s why I have assumed it’s a bandwidth to the mast problem.
Ultimately, phone networks are not built to cope with commuter trains ☹️
- Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G. 3 weeks ago:
I think they were trying to make the point that we HAD faster speeds, but it was discovered that most people didn’t really need it and were happy paying less to go slower. They are comparing this to 6G, sure, some will use it, but for most it will be a needless expense.
On the actual supersonic air travel point - eh, is it really needed considering the massive extra energy required?

Seems unethical if your not telling them your plan.

- Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G. 3 weeks ago:
I have more issues with the fact that I have no usable signal on 1/3 of my commute (closer to 2/3 unusable tuesday-wednesday!) than issues with peak speed.
The R&D money would be better spent laying fibre to phone masts.
