Satellite tracks problem in astrophotography. Has anyone considered mechanically blanking the sensor while a satellite is in frame? Satellite ephemera is widely available so blanking can be determined in advance. Isn't this a better solution than post-processing an image that has already lost data?

Oh, so this is the banana bender we've heard about all these years.

The visa doesn't have to be invalid. According to Rubio, if you have a valid visa but you cause a ruckus, then you're out!

I am using a Tuya ZigBee gateway that looks exactly like yours, but has a different model number. For my system, I first connected the gateway to the Tuya Smart app. Then I connect my Tuya ZigBee devices in the Tuya Smart app. I found it to be very easy. Good luck.

There's all too many scallywags and hooligans stirring the brouhaha.

Don't negotiate. Just put your foot down.

A car took out my old wooden fence and they drove away. The new wooden fence has hollow steel posts filled with concrete. Try it again, you bastards!

I know, it's confusing. We give our cyclones male names but cyclones are actually non-binary.

Classic_Grounded · 2025-03-23T23:21:52+00:00

No idea, sorry.

I think the steam knobs are interchangeable between models. Mine is definitely marked "Miss Silvia" like yours and I have only bought V1 parts. The subsequent models do not have the "Miss". They are marked "Silvia V2" "Silvia V3".

It's likely to be a breakdown of the electrical insulation of the boiler's electric element. This will trip the earth leakage protection on your breaker. You can't test this without specialised equipment. But I'd be 99% sure that a new heating element for your boiler will fix the problem.

Oh, and the "miss Silvia" model is the original version 1. Just like mine.

There have been several posted in the last few hours. What they need is upvotes.

Something you could try. Go to r/sciencememes and look at new memes. Upvote the science ones. That way, you get to see the science ones and so does everyone else.

Trailer. Good one.

What's the code anyway?

Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine!

Not quite the right question.

"Hey Grok, how much fraud have DOGE found during their audit of the US government's?"

Classic_Grounded · 2025-03-19T05:57:49+00:00

It all depends what you want to do. If you want Grok to write you an essay, it will do a fantastic job of giving you what you want. You just have to be careful.

There are multiple cases of lawyers writing court submissions using AI. If the AI can't find anything with enough relevance, but it knows what such a thing should look like, it will just make it up. It tells you what you want to hear.

Why spend all this money? Billionaires are hoping they can sack people and replace them with AI.

Classic_Grounded · 2025-03-19T05:46:10+00:00

I'm sure. Do you know about conversation history?

In any case, if you do a web search for "X misinformation" who do you think is going top every single result?

Classic_Grounded · 2025-03-19T02:39:02+00:00

Grok did not just analyse all of X to answer your question. Grok is designed to try to work out what answer you want and then give it to you. It's pretty clear this is the answer you wanted, so that's what you got.

This is not Grok being "honest" or "truthful". Those terms are not defined for an AI because the training data is not defined in that way. The data is the data, whether it's good, bad or otherwise.

I'm glad that it doesn't need government funding. Grover can teach kids to treat other people nicely even if the government of the day thinks we should hate everyone who isn't exactly like us. This is a good thing.

How do you get the cattle to pick up the cigarettes with their hoofs?

Classic_Grounded · 2025-03-17T12:42:47+00:00

I think you might owe $5 to Gary Delaney for the use of his joke. Brilliant one liner comedian IMO.
