    Lawyers are allowed into Giuliani's NYC apartment after he misses a deadline for turning over assets
  • This case is a pretty good example of how even though you might win a lawsuit against somebody for a lot of money, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get any money.

    Getting a judgment is the first part. Collecting is like doing the whole thing over again.

    America's youngest voters become major election liars
  • I really wonder how they get a representative sample these days. I haven't answered my phone for years and I'm surely not the only one.

    Do they only call, or do they send DMs on TikTok or what?

    YouTube reportedly testing new homepage that removes dates and view counts
  • If the video is about an ongoing event, say the Titan submarine disaster, I'd rather watch videos posted last week them videos posted a year ago, because the new info makes the old content irrelevant.

    If a search for videos about how to perform carbon fiber layups shows one with 1.2m views in the last year and another with 5k views from the past 6 years, I will probably watch the better performing video first.

    But if I want to see a video about some esoteric subject like how the bathyscaphe triste worked, that isn't really changing much, I don't care about post date or view count.

    Stuck in the middle with you
  • Well in regards to editing short videos that loop, they have definitely eclipsed my skill (and willingness to learn)

    Feds Say You Don’t Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books
  • I could lend out my old computer with old games installed to somebody else to use, right?

    What if instead i lend my hard drive, is it still the same thing? Or what if I lend out my remote access screen sharing password to my old PC. Still the same?

    Maybe the legal workaround is to game the system here a bit - forget downloading executables which feels a lot like pirating and just lend access to a system that is legally running the original license.

    53 users would rather disagree
  • I think this kind of voting system intentionally places the content people want to see (i.e. agree with), at the top which increases active users.

    But it doesn't stimulate healthy debate and definitely doesn't encourage going against the mainstream.

    Slashdot had a more interesting system that let only a select number of people rank quality and set a post category (like funny, informative, etc).

    Chinese EB-5 visa investor says a NYC hotel developer and Adams donor bilked her out of $530,000.
  • Non-US citizens can get permanent residency and a green card if they invest at least certain amount of money in the USA. I think it's about $1,050,000 and set up a company that employs 10 other people.

    Do we want another mobile matrix client based on telegram?
  • The problem with telegram is the recent revelations that there is little to no backend privacy. So I'm not totally sure who your userbase might be?

    Open source afficionados who also don't mind random cops trolling through their contacts and messages? Seems like a rather small overlap.

    Or maybe I've misunderstood the recent media attention that telegram has gotten or your proposal.

    ‘You are not my king,’ Indigenous Australian senator yells at visiting King Charles
  • A long time ago his clan beat out some other clans so that makes him king.

    I'm pretty sure anyone is welcome to challenge his assertion of authority at any time by the same means.

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has presented a car to his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un, North Korean state media said Tuesday, in another sign of warming ties between the two countries that have raised concerns in the United States.

    Pretty sure I'm having heat creep up the Bowden tube, as it's getting jammed a few cm back from the hot end and then can't push the filament any more. When I get it out there's a little molten bulb at the filament.

    In this fail, I think it jammed as usual and the extruder found a way to keep going.

    I tried turning down the hot end from 215 to 200 and it's still failing. My cooling fan is running at 100%.

    This is the third time I've had this print fail at about this layer, around 1 hour into what will be a 26 hour print.

    Any ideas?

    I'm in the process of hiring for a position and I have two candidates. It's a tough call because both are very proficient but each has some unique attributes. I thought I might ask ChatGPT's assistance with thinking it through.

    I recorded myself talking through my thoughts on each one as I read through their resume and the Q&As that I've done with each. Then uploaded the audio file to the whisper-1 api for transcription (for this I'm using the OpenAI API).

    Then I pasted the transcribed text into GPT4 and then prompted it with: "Above is my transcribed notes comparing two candidates for a position together. Help me think through this decision by asking me questions, one at a time."

    ChatGPT proceeded to ask me really good questions, one after the other. After a while I felt like it had got me to think about many new factors and ideas. After about 22 questions I'd had enough, so I asked it to wrap up and summarize our next steps, to which it spit out a bullet-point list of what we'd concluded and, what steps we should take next.

    I don't know if everyone is using ChatGPT this way, but this is a really useful feedback system.

    imgur.com Power supply whine

    My project is a "breathing" white 12v LED strip controlled by an esp32 on a dev board, and switched with an IFLZ44N mosfet.

    In my video you can see it working but also hear the power supply complaining.

    I'm using the LEDC Arduino library which allows me to select the frequency and resolution for PWM.

    If I set the frequency too low the whine is extreme, but at this setting it's the best I've been able to achieve, which is about 9000Hz. Unfortunately you can still hear the sound from across the room!

    It is a cheapo solid state power supply that claims it can output 12v up to 25A. I tried my desktop supply and it emits some whine too, so I don't think replacing the power will totally fix this.

    Is there a technique for tuning the frequency or even just masking it somehow?

    Why do you or why don't you use an ebike for your commute?

    I live in a city where public transportation is overcrowded, there's constant vehicle traffic, and you can't depend on any commute time for a given day or hour. The average temperature is very high, so walking is a sweaty affair.

    The only way I've found to make this city more usable is with an ebike and scooter. It's like the perfect vehicle for these conditions.

    However, many people reject the technology and either choose their car or other forms of getting around.

    Is it because it's not well understood, or seems too expensive?

    I'm curious what sold you on the technology or what is the reason you're not making the leap.
