no. i don’t pretend to even begin to understand how the prototype at wardenclyffe was supposed to work. i do remember that it supposedly used the atmosphere as a transmission line, but whether that meant bouncing the signal off of it (meaning it was radio based) or somehow charging it (meaning it was static based) i couldn’t tell you.

tesla’s idea was global wireless power. no idea what his efficiency numbers were though.

it does say on the site for the device that it draws 100W, but in the video he says that there is a 10W minimum draw, so i’m assuming it goes up from there

- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 10 hours ago:
is this where i do my monthly bringing up of the absolute mayhem cars 2 did to that franchise?
cars is about cars because it’s a potent metaphor about the urban/rural class divide in america. cars 2 is about cars because… the first one was.
which beans they didn’t think their messaging through.
which is how you get an entire movie about lemons being shunned for being badly built, but it’s fine because it turs out they’re all evil.
let’s rephrase that: there is an entire class of people that is genetically inferior and predisposed to evil. that’s not subtext, that’s in the film.

huh, the interpretation of the ur-nordic listed on the swedish wiki is basically “if you ruin my rock you are a beta male”

where is this? doesn’t look like any runestone i’ve ever seen. there should be remnants of a border visible at the bottom.

a colleague from another country recently thought i was being hyperbolic when i said vikernes was a nazi, and so went to look at his website.
he’s selling shirts with runes and swastikas on them.

i think it’s more a case of the explanation being too long stupid to understand. like, when you have to issue hours of reading material (like the half-hour hbomb video essay on the CAD webcomic and the KYM page on Me Gusta and the entirety of Hyperbole and a Half) and the payoff is that the comic is now even more stupid than before, i think we both can agree that it’s just not worth it.

now, i’m not the guy that had the original customer service experience you were mad at but that’s my experience with them. whenever they’re split up i rate the “agent performance” at 100% and everything else at whatever i felt they deserved, because if there’s one job that does not deserve more hate its customer service phone jockeys.
but yeah, usually the questions are entirely unfit. our office review thing offered stuff like “i can contribute to my team to further the company’s goals”. it was a consultancy working on-site with customers. we didn’t have teams.
- Comment on glupi jebeni bot 5 days ago:
no i mean i don’t know what a “batting average” is or why it’s apples to oranges to compare it to test scores.
i’m assuming you mean that comparing a pure gaussian distribution to a weighted system is unproductive?
- Comment on glupi jebeni bot 5 days ago:
but as a customer i can’t be expected to know that a less-than-stellar review of my customer service experience (which i only contact if i already have issues and therefore am predisposed to be irritated at) will reflect badly an the person who fielded my call unless they explicitly tell me that beforehand. i may have rated the experience a 9 because the phone tree to get to a human was confusing, or because the hold music was shit, or because the agent had to look things up in the company’s slow-ass system so i had to wait. there are a million ways to have a bad time when calling customer service, and if you ask me to rate the experience with one number i would never in a million years give it a 10 unless everything is solved the instant i call.

i have no idea what that means or why it’s relevant.

i see this all the time with software designed by americans. on an old job we used a tool called “officevibe” where you’d enter your current impression of your role and workplace once a month. you got some random questions to answer on a 10-degree scale.
when we were presented with the result the stats were terrible because the scale was weighted so that everything below 7 was counted as negative. we were all just answering 5 for “it’s okay”, 3-4 for “could use improvement”, and 6-7 for “better than expected”. there had never been a 10 in the stats, and the software took that as “this place sucks”.

i think the only one that matches in grading (e.g. is not hyper-stylized) is the jeep one and that one looks like ass.
i’ve obviously missed a bit of development since last year though.

there’s no source for this being ai. it doesn’t look like any ai video i’ve seen. the clip is way too long, for one.

it’s a grid, like the fence in front of it. camera sensors are also grids. if they line up just the right way you can get a moiré pattern that hides details.
people are pushing on the fence, breaking it.
