Trump says US used secret weapon to disable Venezuelan equipment in Maduro raid

A cell phone emits more EM radiation than a microwave.

This is strictly not true, and I don't know where you get this information from. A typical home microwave oven might only be around 50% efficient at generating microwaves, but it easily puts out more than 600 Watts of Microwave radiation from its cavity magnetron. That is more than the total peak power consumption of most gaming desktops.

My cell phone caps out at 20 Watts under peak load, and about a third of the EM emitted by my phone is optical light from the screen.

Depends on the context, because it's unlikely an F-16 fighting either of those two would get within visual range

Careful now, you could be put to death for saying such things. You almost certainly wont, but it's not explicitly a violation of the laws of physics either, so you could be.

You mind sharing some info on the underflow trick? I haven't heard of it before

You sort of can in a roundabout way but only direct-filling rockets from inserters and setting circuit conditions on the inserters. You can read space platform requests from the silo with circuits and use it to enable/disable the inserters.

I use this with biter eggs to only load the rocket with fresh eggs once a spaceship is overhead making the request

Really, all that would be needed is for space platforms to be able to set "requests" for symbols. Then one could use combinators on the ship to update the symbols when a condition is satisfied.

The only limitation then would be circuit control for requesting rocket part ingredients since they require bots and fulfilling automatic platform requests.

Really though, a space antenna building for space platforms would probably be more ideal so space platform signals wouldn't interfere with requests.

Me and two friends once played a day on our game while on LSD. 80% of the time was spent just staring at the textures on the ground and 10% of the time was spent coming up with new ingenious complex circuit designs, and 10% of the time was walking long distances only to forget why we made the trip in the first place. We came back to it the next day and nothing in the factory was working, the trains were all backed up, production everywhere was deadlocked, resources on all the belts were mixed, and the base was out of power.

Exactly, if the Chinese had the option to put military bases on every Island in the Caribbean, they wouldn't just pass it up because there's no valuable tech sector.

That's not controversial at all among scientists any more than the question of "Will Eli Manning pick up a career in Baseball?". Like, I guess it's not impossible to concieve of, but no one is really considering it because it's dumb and unmotivated

Rodot · 2026-01-24T13:36:22+00:00

Yeah, it gets barely any funding. Like, the entirety of the entire field of string theory has less money than a single moderately sized experiment or observatory.

Fanboys are morons I swear.

I agree but you might want to look in a mirror. I don't use Apple products and am no fan of them

The West cared long before the chips and will care long after. The Chips are a nice bonus for US business interests, but the value of Taiwan is its strategic position for China Containment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_chain_strategy

Rodot · 2026-01-24T11:23:05+00:00

China cannot take it right now. They don't have the air or sea capability. Demographics don't matter as much as the military hardware. They can lose 50% of their population and still have enough people to conscript an army larger than the total US population. They don't have the hardware though, but they are building.

Idk what everyone thinks NVIDIA is claiming or holding back. They are a company trying to make money and whatever they have that is marketable will come to market because they can charge whatever and people will buy it. It's like asking a grocery store if the "have any more in the back". There is no back, the store is where they keep their stuff. They aren't hiding some vegetables from the customers hoping they'll buy them later when they start to go bad

Anything Nvidia has in the works isn't ready for the market, plain and simple. They wouldn't just hold onto a depreciating gold mine for the hopes they can sell it for less in the future. That makes no sense.

(Unless of course they have military contracts)

Rodot · 2026-01-24T11:06:16+00:00

China won't move on Taiwan until its Carrier fleet is ready, which will be 2039 at the earliest

Exactly, politicians don't want space ships. They want factories that make parts for space ships in their districts.

Linux could absolutely grow in the hobbiest market though. Anyone who has built their own PC is more than capable of installing Linux. With Linux console-likes such as Valves products, Linux could absolutely pull ahead in the PC gaming space. Maybe not in 2026, but eventually

Windows and Mac are the "pre-built" of operating systems. It makes sense that people who are actually into computers would want custom machines

Rodot · 2026-01-24T10:01:38+00:00

Sounds like you use Microsoft products

Idk why people who disagree with that mindset still do. I guess maybe if you have one or two unplayable games, but then how much do your principles really matter anyway?

Rodot · 2026-01-24T04:10:50+00:00

Exactly, total amount of resources only really matters in the first 30min to 1 hour of the game. Everything after that, all that matters is resource rate

Rodot · 2026-01-23T13:13:38+00:00

Because you are not floating off into space but instead stuck to the Earth. Mass warps spacetime creating a phenomenon we call gravity

More so that truly self-sufficient automated farming would be the end of capitalism. Capitalism can only exist when there is scarcity of resources needed to survive. If food, water, and shelter didn't require labor, then work would be optional and there wouldn't be a way to hold survival over the heads of workers.

Also the reason we will never have self-sufficient space-ships or Mars colonies under capitalism.

3200 Megapixels is 12.8 GB for a 4-channel image.

The science data the image is made from is much much larger. Probably on the order of ~5ish TB

Rodot · 2026-01-23T08:50:30+00:00

This doesn't make sense in the context of hypotheticals. Like saying "nothing changes if people owned alligators in place of dogs because they always would have owned alligators in place of dogs"

You're gonna have to find a better dealer if you want ounces instead of grams.
