- Comment on Not sure where to ask this but why do some wall powered usb-c hubs refuse the charge anything until they are plugged into a computer? 11 minutes ago:
The hub doesn’t have a negotiation chip to set the voltage correctly. It is likely presenting as a bus hub. Like if you do
$ lsusbon Linux, you’ll see the hub and whatever is connected. That hub may be integrated into other chips or it may be stand alone as a peripheral somewhere on the board. It is basically like a digital capable splitter for the bus. It is only concerned with the data. The power is likely just passed through. For USB-C PD, it would need some complex additional circuitry to negotiate, convert voltages and do current limiting. The way the pins can be inverted by flipping the connector makes it logically complicated. - Comment on 24 minutes ago:

Really?! I love how he brought robots back into the Foundation universe and explored the ineptitude of human psychology due to dogma and the stupidity of religious systems of belief.

Go read Prelude to Foundation asap.

You really are worth less, as you are older than you were yesterday, and young organs sell for more.

My first phone was one of the Nokia bricks around the time of the 3310. When I was in middle school my old man carried a pager. He eventually had a phone around #5. My first was somewhere between 7-10.
With my first body shop, I ordered a used Sony Ericsson T800 from eBay that came from Europe. It was one of the first smartphones, pre android and with a resistive touch screen. I knew the utility was far more valuable. A bunch of family and friends swore up and down about their dumb flip phones and razors, and how I was crazy.

We should setup a watch party thing around some kind of FOSS friendly deal. At a minimum we could watch and discuss for a day+ of open conversation. It might be fun?
- Comment on The feeling of losing connections with online friends 1 week ago:
I bet everyone here has a ton of these. I have a large abandoned footprint in several spaces, especially when engaged in projects. Like on YT, search is garbage, but I posted the only reference available for several tasks and projects.
Heck, I have never been able to find it again, but back in the first year of YouTube I posted a few times about clay prototyping and fiberglass composites for custom auto body parts. That was long long before people were doing tutorial like content. It took forever to upload that potato quality junk too.

Title is a Mormon line.
“With all the news about war and people suffering would you mind if I share a quick scripture about hope and better things to come”…
That is the classic, I didn’t read the publication more than skimming, and am using a cliche presentation at your door – Jehovah’s Witness thing… I was formidable then, but so much so that none dare talk to me about what appears as indifference to them now. Jehovah’s Witnesses are classic dogma tribalism with cult like behavior sans the glorious cult leader trope.
Arguing is absolutely pointless. Dogma is blind to all information sources from outside of the tribal authority. The only ways to change a person are either to infiltrate and gain the trust of the tribe, or stimulate general curiosity within the individual. Self growth will eventually lead to naturally questioning dogma.

Haters gonna hate, but buying hardware capable of running my own offline AI has been my best money per hour investment ever. However, I got into it after reading all of Asimov’s robots stuff, after an avid interest in compute hardware, and after having followed a few AI safety/general researchers. I got into it for customised learning, but that quickly expanded into many other explorations. Particularly I have advanced techniques for exploring AI thinking structures that are a lot of fun to play with. I play with images, video, 3d modeling, writing, agents, chat, roleplaying, and training.

Can we just normalize ‘come lay down somewhere and relax?’ That would be great. Thanks.
No chairs. No standing. Nothing weird. Just lay there and chill together. That is a social life I can participate in.

I was into cars, like seriously. Super charged camaro with an old roots blower level serious. I had a heart thing one night in a Target and asked myself after, what good is it all if I can’t hotrod me. Four years later I was racing bicycles and 160 pounds lighter.
After the 7th car to hit me broke my neck and back, I shifted into Arduino and compute stuff. I can do KiCAD, analog and digital hardware design and etch my own boards.
I can’t really go anywhere any more, so I mess around with rooftop astronomy from time to time. Like I make eye pieces and have a little azimuth telescope hacked with a ESP32.
I’m usually into the basal stuff. So like If I take a pottery class, I might play along for awhile but I am looking to learn and do other things. I am not interested in just the typical art. I’m looking at how to build the kiln, metal casting, and the supporting ceramics I can feasibly make versus buy. I would absolutely love to be Ben on Applied Science and have a lab like his. Controlling heat is a big part of that. The easiest entry point to said heat is pottery. The most expensive technique for getting into a new technology like kilns is to blindly start buying junk. You’ll save a ton of money and time just taking that pottery class and getting practically familiar with the tools and limitations in a space where you can ask experienced people questions.
Here is the thing: if you were in solitary or you had ALS, you likely would not give up. While you likely believe your interests and capabilities define you, they will not help you in a situation like this. When you are faced with a situation where you are forced to redefine yourself, survival largely pivots on your realization and redefinition for curiosity. Curiosity is the most fundamental force and survival mechanism. Your specialization is fine and admirable but in the worst of situations, it will not save you. In fact it may cause you even more difficulty to overcome. You are human, and likely a survivor. Therefore you are likely far more adaptable than you are aware. Personally, I am not so concerned with someone that shares all of my many interests. I am only concerned with someone that can match my curiosity. We are all only a product of our environment. Someone with a curiosity that rivals my own will always be interesting to me. Our environment will intertwine with time.
I learned the hard way with muses. It is easy for someone to yield to my interests and curiosities, losing themselves to a whirlwind. I change a lot with time, and someone like that never evolves with me. Those were the people that I thought shared my interests and existed in the same space. Those lasted a few years each, but nope, not for me. I want a rival of curiosity, because that is someone I can respect long term.

Does a good job and tries to be nice.
AYCE McRubber: “shi into me?”I think people are so lost because the primary filter for relationships is having your own place. You know, like having your shit sorted to that minimum is kinda the threshold for most activities in general. It is certainly not some requirement, but it makes a major difference for anything serious, especially when you’re over 25.
Like if you really want to meet someone, just shift your interests around. Pottery, art, kinesiology; any of those will change your exposure to cis relations. Get a job at Michael’s. You won’t last 3 months single.
