Is there a drug I can take to gain weight?

ducksinhats · 23 days ago

I don't want you to consider it among the flippant replies here but definitely alcohol will work up to a point, it's somewhat of a contradiction though because severe alcoholics are usually quite malnourished and thin.

Seen this a few times and am surprised it's actually a viable solution. Used to be heavily into fpv a long time ago and remember MIT(?) had autonomous CV software that could easily navigate through thick forests that was open sourced, I think the only real use of onboard GPS there was "go from point A to B"

This was perhaps a decade ago mind you, people rocking DIY setups had fairly limited computing compared to what you can buy today. The PID needed for quads/hex/octos to stay aloft has trivial compute requirements.

Claude Code makes me feel like I'm dispatching a legit engineer to go get something done. But they come back in a minute instead of a week. Most of the time the solution gets the job done. Sometimes it introduces too much complexity, sometimes it's totally wrong, but it gets the job done. Cursor meanwhile just feels like shortening the (copy editor/paste chat/copy chat/paste editor) loop.

For $200/month you can get equivalent value to a team of engineers. Plan accordingly! The stack is no longer safe for employment. You need to move up to manager or move down to metal.

Why couldn't Claude do a managers job?

Strangely no mention of knative in this thread, there's a lot of tradeoffs in going full serverless and the promised reduction in infra costs/wages doesn't always pan out.

It's a fairly mature CNCF project at this point and makes running your own serverless setup quite simple.

I doubt the fight between microservices and batch processing will end any decade soon but it's easy enough to run both on the same infra, that most importantly you control.

Wouldn't call it the best of both worlds, but it's reasonable enough to offer you the option of both worlds.

I was also around when bitcoin just started out. Many people wanted it to be a global revolution in finance.

But instead it turned into a game of "hodl" to get rich.

Scams were openly perpetrated in the forums.

I became completely disillusioned. What exactly does bitcoin offer the world today?

>What exactly does bitcoin offer the world today?

I can tell you down to the day how many bitcoin there will be decades from now.

Can you do the same for any fiat currency for next week?

It offers stability and a mathematical escape from very fallible humans controlling monetary systems.

It's worth noting that deb packages are signed by the distro and any modification would be detected. That makes HTTPS unnecessary in this case.

Also worth noting that there have been apt RCE's capable of being exploited by a MITM.

I really don't see how anyone can still defend not using TLS for debian packages.

The best counter to those drones would be other drones. Either quads or fixed wing. Its <$1K to put together fast drone with 10 minute battery time. You could probably disable iranian drone with something as simple as ribbon forced into the propeller.

If they are the off the shelf type that seems to be implied here then simple radio and GPS jamming works fine. If it is really unsophisticated then with a powerful enough signal you could hijack it and fly it somewhere safe.
