    The Communication Cube

    Yes, everybody says so, so it seems true, apparently both by popular votes and binding electoral votes. I don't fully understand how it works (but I don't deny the result, just feeling like showing my ignorance, some years I've read up on it, but then I forget again...): - it's weird to me...

    Absurdism corner

    Ah, you're right. I must have seen it wrong. In the image it looked like a micro, but in the video, I see it's just a holder. (in other frames when there's the red tie behind it, one sees that it isn't white or metallic, it's just a hole where a micro would be. It's even weirder now if that's...

    Well, yes, whoever. I try to avoid guessing into people's fantasies as a general rule, but with people like him I try extra harder to avoid it. Btw. In that picture above his head... are they shaking hands or playing rock paper scissors ? And is that the way sanctions and trade agreements are...

    Ok. I tried to highlight the micro for you (in orange). Whether it's a lucky micro or not might depend on consent, and I can't start to imagine how to define that for a micro.

    Absurdism corner

    Boring. After the apostrophe-chasing Garbage Gate, wishing a fusilade for Cheney, promising to protect women against themselves, alleged Haitian pet gastronomy, Musk-precise levels of punctuality, and some ex-aide bowing for repealing the 19th amendment (no more voting rights for women?, no...

    "Do not trim the bushes" "No bush trimming" What's so hard to read there ?

    When you think the USA election campaign can't go worse, Steve Bannon gets out of jail... Who's writing the script ?

    Sigh. New standard of practice: hallucinamnese. :eek:

    Absurdism corner

    Drivers passing by the enchanted house kept complaining that the ghosts coming from the wall crossed across their vehicles, so the town decided to mark a crossing so the cars could stop and the ghosts could properly cross the street outside other people's cars. The spokesoul for the ghosts...

    Well, I'm not sure. Ask a Russian. According to some western news most of Russians have limited access to the internet and the routers they use prevent them from accessing some services and contents from the west. Other Russians, considered cybercriminals by western authorities. seem to have...

    The linux project seems to be removing Russian mantainers or something. I feared something similar would come to pass, but I don't know hot to feel about it. Might be related to sanctions, but then contributions are gratis, of course often with commercial interests... I'm not sure if future...

    Ok. So here my stress is free, I don't have to pay for my stress, so I can feel free to stress. I think I got it, but I always need to reread signs to understand them, it's stressing... Wait! Don't shoot, I just...

    That's some of the most backwards news I've heard. Methane (including LNG) is a strong greenhouse gas. Nuclear power generates dangerous waste (and needs finite fuel). Yet the Russians pretend to build nuclear powered LNG merchant submarines to sail under the arctic ice (while there's still any)...

    The Rise of Pyra - A story about the past 6 months

    But it's a SOC. Sound and video subsystems are in the same chip, not different cards or even different chips. I'm not aware that problems with graphics or sound have to do with the external circuitry? (there was some issues because of needed screen rotation, and the sound wheel is a bit...

    The Rise of Pyra - A story about the past 6 months

    I don't know. I think the main thing is selling all the Pyras that can reasonably be built with the available stocked components. Then depending on how many orders remain, and how difficult it is to source components for the same design, decide whether to build more Pyras with the current...

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    Non-LTE implies non-GPS (or whatever satellite positioning system there is) if I recall correctly. I don't care too much for LTE, but I'd like GPS, so I'm not changing anything.

    Should I have received my final order eMail already?

    No, you're not ? Askarus may tell you better, but I think when he speaks of US or EU or non-LTE he refers to the Pyra,not to the customer (though there's expected correlation). a US - preorder would be a preordre for a Pyra with a modem suited for commercially available frequencies in the US a...

    I must have written it poorly. I meant: do you believe in free will or do you just don't believe in it ? Because if you don't think free will exists, and you were talking about creativity as if you believe creativity exists, then I assume you'll believe free will is not necessary for creativity...

    ACK I fear it will create a world with fewer choices, because training AI requires lots of data, lots of energy and lots of hardware. And labeling inputs or refining outputs requires lots of labour. There're those Amazon shops without stuff that resulted in lots of offshored remote attendants...

    I think I got you right. You're saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm just saying caring for beauty is pointless. I'm not contradicting you. I pity you. I had a philosophy teacher in high-school who happened to be Jesuit (I believe, or everyone else said so). He was supposed...
