It’s gotta be the Emperor’s children, right? Nobody else is as ostentatious.

I loved the book and thought the movie was a perfectly cromulent adaptation. It’s not a perfect film, and doesn’t replace the book, but I enjoyed it a lot. I can see why they made the changes they made, though I feel act 1 dragged on a little bit.

Pirate it instead. JoBlo is a cunt.

This is southern hemisphere erasure and I won’t stand for it.

Down here it’s too damn hot to do anything anyway.

Yep, exactly. If it’s palpably in the dish then it wasn’t chopped finely enough or cooked long enough.

The other shoe drops.

Doesn’t look like Valetudo supports Neato robots. That’s a shame.

Fantastic piece of software. I mostly use it for following links without using the mouse.

A fantastic project. I run valetudo on my roborock S7. Works great! Full functionality, no cloud.

I really like this book. A sensible and entertaining assessment of the legal, moral and technical challenges facing a potential mars colony.

While I agree with you, I think it’s a bit unkind to reply in this way. Sometimes bash is all you have, and it’s interesting to learn about tools even if you’re unlikely to use them.

I put valetudo on my Roborock s8 and blocked its access to the internet at my router. Works perfectly and integrates well with home assistant.

Were you on the NS forums? I went by “Scythe” back in those days.

I would say unless you have a specific problem that is fixed by the new firmware I would keep your system the way it is.

I liked the thorough explanation of the decision process, but I think universal approval is a paralysing requirement. This risks stagnation.

Fortunately there are no ethical problems with obtaining oil for petrol-powered cars.

Most timber that includes the heart, or core, of the tree will eventually split/check like that.

I think it still looks awesome though. Please post the final result when you’re done!

Australians are very sorry about Murdoch but please don’t send him back, we don’t want him either. Cheers.

I think the biggest improvement in output compared to baseline humans would stem from synthesis between fields. At best a human can become a turbo-expert in a single field of study, maybe two if they’re truly exceptional.

Being an expert in everything would let The Being see links between fields invisible to normal folk.

Imagine a master sculptor who’s also an incredible portrait artist. Bam! Photorealistic sculptures!

It’s not hard to imagine a field of maths linking closely with biology to produce statistical models for cell propagation. Multidisciplinary teams can achieve great things, but imagine that team is inside a single skull.

Love to see it. More first-party support for HASS.
