NeoNachtwaechter,

A youtube link and no text.

So what?

NeoNachtwaechter,

Even if you deny all ghosts, demons and other spiritual entities except humans (and maybe animals), then life itself remains.

Life itself is a kind of mystery, an interesting one and an important one. Without life you stop existing and then it gets really boring ;-)

Without ghosts etc, IMHO you are bound to “fall back” to the question about the meaning of life.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Scientific explanation:

Science has done it, time and time again. Problem is, normal people did not accept the scientific method.

Legal explanation:

There is plenty of evidence, but all evidence needs evaluation/approval by the judge in order to become valid proof. Problem is, everybody wants to be judge.

NeoNachtwaechter,

But yes western society is currently in a hellscape of refusing to do even basic regulation

Only the Usamerican country.

We Europeans are scratching our heads already for very long: why are they letting these guys do just everything they want?

NeoNachtwaechter,

Should a self-driving car face more rigorous tests than actual human drivers? Honest question

First: none of these automated cars would pass a German driver’s license test. By far.

Second: of course you cannot compare tests for humans with tests for machines.

NeoNachtwaechter,

computer vision is definitely a software problem.

No, it isn’t.

If it were only software, don’t you think Tesla should be the best of them all, being the pure software shop they are?

But it is a real world problem. Recognizing real objects in real world conditions like weather, natural and artificial lights, temperatures (want some ice on your camera?), winds & storms, all kinds of unforeseen circumstances, other bad drivers, police and firemen…

And that’s why that pure software shop is so bad at it, while all the real carmakers shrug… they are used to it since forever.

NeoNachtwaechter,

You can be the best in the world and still not be good enough

So you haven’t recognized that other car brands’ assistance/autonomous systems make less dramatic mistakes?

NeoNachtwaechter,

Many. But the most obvious currently: they are going too slow.

And maybe the most funny: they are unable to turn their heads (in order to prove to the inspector that they are looking where it is required to look).

NeoNachtwaechter,

How will the bot car handle itself out in the country? Dirt roads?

They don’t go there. They have their limits. Simple as that.

But when the police has ordered them there (for example, the good road must be emptied because of an emergency) then the trouble starts… now imagine not just one or two, but hundreds of them.

NeoNachtwaechter,

For an autonomous vehicle without radars or LiDAR they do still drive pretty darn well.

That’s a bit like saying “For an old hound dog with only two legs left he is running pretty darn fast”… :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

Going too slow where, in the city?

Everywhere.

exceptions for people with disabilities?

Well, not that kind of exception where “the requirements are forgotten and we can make everything easier just for you”.

I don’t know this specific thing, but in general, a disabled person must have some kind of aid that fully compensates the disability.

Think of eye glasses: your eyes are bad, so you are required to wear glasses (or contacts). Note that it is on you. You get an extra order written into your license saying that you always have to wear them when driving, and they must fully compensate your vision - otherwise you are not allowed to drive.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Ok in your case, let’s say you have 80K in savings.

Half a million would be about the point where it would change my ways.

With only 5 million I would stop working for money.

EXCLUSIVE: Naomi Wu and the Silence That Speaks Volumes (www.hackingbutlegal.com)

When China’s prodigious tech influencer, Naomi Wu, found herself silenced, it wasn’t just the machinery of a surveillance state at play. Instead, it was a confluence of state repression and the sometimes capricious attention of a Western audience that, as she asserts, often views Chinese activists more as ideological tokens...

NeoNachtwaechter,

Why are they going after people

Seems you haven’t read the second half of the title, as well as the second half of the article.

NeoNachtwaechter,

What has happened in between?

NeoNachtwaechter,

You better don’t conflict with Mayday…

NeoNachtwaechter,

some poisons affect the nerves

Many poisons (for example, alcohol) affect the nerves directly, i.e. the transport of the electric there. The first impact is that the brain (and the spinal cord of course) does not receive the sensoric info properly anymore. And then the body does not follow the brain’s commands anymore.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Sort of. I would even say, the perception of broken (toned down or very delayed) signals is the dizzyness.

NeoNachtwaechter,

I can be even more insufferable to my drinking friends

My feelings are with them ;-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

In my region it was a common prank among youths to lock people there by driving your car very closely up to the door :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

If I were a dog, or the creator of a dog, I would say:

This beast is such an insult!

Totally stiff in the spine, stamping worse than a cow on dope, and that stiff body must stay horizontally at all times.

What a gross misconstruction.

NeoNachtwaechter, (edited )

The theory of relativity (special and general).

It is more that 100 years now, and it is perfectly true according to all current physicists, but still hardly anybody (outside of physicists) knows it. What a shame.

For example, GPS wouldn’t work without it - your position would be wrong by a few miles all the time.

How to share services with non-techincal friends and family

I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don’t love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won’t go...

NeoNachtwaechter,

My home server is reachable via dynamic DNS. Nextcloud ist running from a VM that has no other ports open and I have done all the security things that the automatic checks have recommended.

Nobody has dared so far to call me malicious.

X wants permission to start collecting your biometric data and employment history (www.theverge.com)

“Based on your consent, we may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security, and identification purposes,” the privacy policy reads. It doesn’t include any details on what kind of biometric information this includes — or how X plans to collect it — but it typically involves fingerprints, iris...

NeoNachtwaechter,

without having the government on his side.

Why do you think they haven’t?

NeoNachtwaechter,

It is the most reliable way (currently) to identify people.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Is “moving money” = “doing a thing”? :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

It got like 800+ upvotes

Muuhahahaha…

NeoNachtwaechter,

It is far from a stereotype, and most times it isn’t personal preference either.

It is just about using the best tool for the job.

Many tasks can be done either this or that way, but one of the ways is usually much faster, or repeatable/scriptable, or easier to make mistakes etc.

NeoNachtwaechter,

A book.

Sounds go into the ears, smells go into noses, thoughts go into books.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Google has recently started telling me that they don’t know if I am >18. But I have been using Google for way more than 20 years.

So, Google is incapable of counting to 18? :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

Think again: it would be worse if the roof wasn’t on the house ;-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

the problem is with these two sheriffs acting illegally.

When bribery happens, both sides are corrupt, both are guilty.

permanent "not read" number if reply delete

I got an answer to a post I made and the person who made it deleted the post. Now there I a permanent “1” on the messages button as if I still have a reply that I have not ticked as “seen”. But I can’t do it because the button does not exist, assuming this is due to the post being deleted....

NeoNachtwaechter,

It is a known bug - wait for future versions or try the workaround:

github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/683

NeoNachtwaechter,

Great.

It didn’t work for me. But that may be related to the fact that I didn’t try it.

NeoNachtwaechter,

This :-) and

whenever I ordered something with tuna, it was always ‘tonno’

NeoNachtwaechter,

Learn ZFS. I guess it isn’t included in typical tutorials, but if you spend a few days with practising on it, and also read some of the ‘deeper’ stuff about it, then afterwards you feel like you can do magic :-)

[Help] Recover Raid Array With New Server?

Greetings, I have a Debian server at home running a file server, jellyfin server, among some other things. I also had 4 external drives hooked up to it in a Raid 10 (or is it 1+0?) configuration. The SSD I had the actual server installed on failed overnight and looks to be beyond recovery. So my question is, when I install...

NeoNachtwaechter,

A ZFS does it all by itself, and no problem at all.

For a ‘real’ RAID it depends on the controller.

NeoNachtwaechter,

No, i am using vi.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Vi? Not Vim or Neovim

I have probably had them all and then some more. Honestly, I don’t care about these fine distinctions.

NeoNachtwaechter,

In Germany, it works like this:

Everybody has to observe the laws, therefore it must be possible for everybody to go to court etc. It cannot be that you need to be rich first, before you can sue anybody.

So our first ‘level’ of courts do not require that you have a lawyer in civil cases. You do not need to write things in ‘legalese’ language (of course it makes things easier if you do), instead you can simply walk to court and say I need to sue that person for this and that. They would write it down and start proceedings.

Only court of appeals etc. require a lawyer. In criminal cases the court would provide a lawyer if required.

Lawyers cannot decide their rates freely, but need to adhere to a kind of tariff system. So, getting rich just because you are a lawyer is somewhat difficult :-)

NeoNachtwaechter,

A lot of the time my asshole is bloody

Then it is too late for the good advice from that comment above. You are at a later stage. You need a doctor ASAP.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Doctors do the same

Doctors do remote internet diagnosis without looking at any symptoms??

NeoNachtwaechter,

Man, back in the day, Google would search for what you typed and nothing else

You are mixing it up with Altavista. Precision was their way.

Google has always been ‘and something else, too’

NeoNachtwaechter,

Be less stoned, Eccle

NeoNachtwaechter,

It is a non-existing problem, because they were talking in other languages then.

NeoNachtwaechter,

Whataboutery is a much better term

Never heard it, though…

mischaracterisation as a personality trait rather than a fallacious style of argument.

Probably both. At least the people I’ve seen using it have done it regularly.
