I didn't either but turns out: https://lemmy.ml/comment/12172653

Been a while since my Kerbal days when I read a bit about all this orbital mechanics crap and I remember that there was something counterintuitive about the delta-v required to hit the sun vs escape the solar system; I think compared to escaping, if you start from Earth you need almost 3x the delta-v to hit the sun, but I can't remember why. Something to do with the huge gravity well, because it got worse the closer you are to the sun

edit: lol I totally misread you, but also I found a video and duh yeah the reason was obvious: it's because we're moving around the sun at ~30km/s and to hit the sun you need to use that much delta-v to slow down to make your orbit tight enough to actually hit the sun instead of getting slingshotted / staying in orbit: https://youtu.be/LHvR1fRTW8g?si=1eIyeeqWR61wRu08. Escape velocity for the solar system is ~10km/s

Shooting him into the sun would be a waste of delta-v. Shoot him out of the solar system.

Family tree's a straight line

Orgone jokes, in my Lemmy?

Uh, ok. I do get what you mean, but that sounds so far-fetched that it's a bit funny.

In any case, the Elon-related scams are pretty much always about crypto, far as I can tell. There's absolutely a profit motive there, they're not just doing it to piss people off

Oh I'm barely a Julia programmer 😅 I learned it a couple of years ago just to check it out, started writing a personal project with it but got a bit irritated with how interfaces are defined informally and you have to dig through documentation to find out the methods you need to implement, and then just sort of drifted away. Will definitely use it in the future for eg. some signal analysis thingamajigs and so on though, it was a fun language to use with notebooks.

I usually prefer type systems that make me beg for mercy, heh.

Could you roll back to the previous kernel version that worked? I know you said you overwrote the config, but figuring out what it was seems like it'd be easier than having to replace the Wifi card

They're just trying to do malicious compliance, but I have a vague memory that they're already getting flak from the EU for it – how Apple handled the 3rd party store stuff was so blatantly clearly not in the spirit of the Digital Markets Act

You just have consistently terrible takes, don't you?

Oh yeah definitely; a lot of the AI crap out there hasn't gotten rolled out to the EU yet – some of it because of the GDPR, thank fuck for that.

I'd practically guarantee there's a nonzero amount of suits out there who think it'd be a fantastic idea, and have at the very least tried to make it happen, and that it's only a matter of time before one of them talks somebody into it if they haven't already

Naturally I had to try this, and I'm a bit disappointed it didn't work for me.

I can't make that "Looking for specific info?" input do anything unexpected, the output I get looks like this:

Oh yeah, everything about it is stupid, no question about that, but 🤷

It's not like the web was around back then either ya doofus, what year do you think we're talking about here?

Back in those times the would have been at best using something like Veronica, or just trawling Usenet asking if people know him

Yeah I definitely don't get the "what" factor in that.

Funerals aren't free and they might not have the money for it, so not having to pay for it would take some burden off them. Yes, they did something incredibly stupid but they've already paid an incalculable price for it.

Ah right yes, I get what you mean, definitely agree with that

Making an LLM that doesn't hallucinate is probably literally impossible, and I'd be very surprised if Apple's AI bullshit isn't built on one.

Well this seems like a decision that couldn't possibly have any unforeseen effects
