  One usual use case is for IPMI-style server management, being able to remotely monitor and interact with the machine before even the BIOS is ready, so particularly more relevant to server deployments

  Apparently Jupiter’s gravity well can work both ways, either stopping asteroids from reaching us or giving them just enough energy to reach us. It’s quite impartial at that. This video from Braintruffle covers the gravitational dynamics: youtu.be/1zu41rrc_Ng

  My favourite tidbit about them is how there were dedicated devices to bring them back from the brink of unconsciousness: museumcrush.org/this-device-was-used-to-resuscita…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mainly Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike GO/2, cuz both of them have cosmetics with rarities obtained via what effectively amounts to lootboxes. In one sense they also have an out-of-game economy around these things where these items are traded for actual money

  Hi-fi Rush is really good if you’re into rhythm action, Call of Juarez is one I’m trying now and it feels nice to play

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon uncovers something big⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the 6502 one you’re talking about though, what about the previous one (granted it still used a bunch of ICs, but not a microcontroller per se)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone got Gab's AI chatbot to show its instructions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  'tis how LLM chatbots work. LLMs by design are autocomplete on steroids, so they can predict what the next word should be in a sequence. If you give it something like:

  " Here is a conversation between the user and a chatbot. <insert description of chatbot>

  <insert chat history here> User: <insert user message here> Chatbot: "

  Then it’ll fill in a sentence to best fit that prompt, much like a creative writing exercise

  Missed opportunity for her to delta outta there instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon notices what they've taken from us⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  I do miss removable batteries, they had the added benefit of having a heavy mass (the battery) get thrown out when the phone falls. That helped save the display from getting damaged because a lot of the momentum was transferred to the battery popping out
