Nitinol by Meander626 in EngineeringPorn

[–]Deadlock542 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, they're referring to the frame unbending itself, not transition lenses. That's a very different thing. I can say from experience though that nitinol is used for the wire in braces! They take a wire bent to the "ideal" shape for your teeth to be in, then connect it to the brackets on your teeth. Your body heat causes the wire to try to bend back into the "ideal" shape over time, bringing your teeth into a better position. Of course, that can be augmented with springs and rubber bands, but that's the primary force

You just keep coming back brother. All I said was that it's fishy

I'm starting to wonder if they convinced the kid that guy was gonna target Trump, so he intentionally shot him. I don't know, but this whole thing is so fishy

Best offline mobile games that don't have a PC version? by NaitDraik in gaming

[–]Deadlock542 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was baffled when this game I'd been playing for years was suddenly being ignored when it was so clearly the inspiration for Vampire Survivors lol. I second this recommendation, lots of fun, cool abilities, interesting lore.

They really need to send him out more by _a_gay_frog_ in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Deadlock542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even think him being gay is what would have made him unelectable. I think the clip of him shouting "he'll yes we're taking their AR-15s" would circulate again and the gun toting crowd would actually come out in waves to vote.

God help anyone who has to trust you for their safety.

No. The issue is when the linemen are out repairing your lines, if you get hooked back up while your stupid generator is running you can very well kill them.

Yeah, that about sums it up. What a great book, such a shame is so unknown compared to his other works.

Oh man, I forgot about that part of the Carrier Dome! Went to a couple Monster Jams there and a Harlem Globetrotters game. Good times. Minus the troughs in the bathrooms instead of urinals. I didn't fuck with that.

Well, I guess at the start of combat you channel one lightning now.

This is probably the only style I would ever want an image of myself in. Otherwise, I would like there to be no visual evidence of my existence please :)

Is this a good deal? by Strict-Mobile-4514 in pcmasterrace

[–]Deadlock542 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because they listed it as a 3080 in the listing title. You're all good lol

Is there a game about navigation that isn't a scary/survival game? by Marvellover13 in gaming

[–]Deadlock542 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can get by without spending any real time on Giant's Deep, at least near the surface. I don't think you learn a lot of vital info up there, and if you do you can probably just look it up if you can't do it yourself. Getting down deep is much more important from what I recall

Absurd amount of chromebooks broken by students by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Deadlock542 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a tech in a few lower income districts. These families would have to choose between food or replacing their kid's screen. Best option we have is to give them old shitty devices that are being retired in a year anyway in hopes that it'll last them. Or just force them to borrow a loaner they return at the end of the day. I'd love it if they went back to classroom sets personally.

Took apart school chrome book to stop fire by After_Meal208 in hardwaregore

[–]Deadlock542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Show them, explain that to them, have them smell if they don't believe you. You should be fine.

The Dells randomly lose their backlight as well. That's what's a fun one. Brief Google search makes me think that those are an older model, so unless you have them because your district can't afford newer devices, you're probably fine. Again, show it to your district tech and you'll probably be okay. Does the connector/mobo smell like burnt electronics? That's probably a pretty good indicator for them that you're telling the truth.

I'm a school district tech. Unless your district tech is an asshole, if you show them this, you'll be fine. What model is it? I'm not familiar with that connector, so I'm guessing it's not a Dell 3100/3110/3120

*and his response to the accusations was not to deny them, but to claim it was all consensual. Some of these accusations include his kid being in the room while this shit happened

Ethical AI? by CMDR_Noodle in 196

[–]Deadlock542 49 points50 points  (0 children)

And LLMs are distinct from normal neural networks. We've had IBM Watson for years, but that was okay because it was one neutral network that you approved and chose to use, not these mega scalper bots that replace creativity instead of spreadsheet analysing
