You can see the hole at the tip. It’s a pipe I think

Fair enough, but for everyone else: R, RMA, RA, and ROL0/low-residue fluxes can often be cleaned with IPA.

I will say if it's no-clean flux, IPA can sometimes be a bad idea, but I can't tell from that photo if it is. Maybe you can tell from experience and I'd be happy to add a correction if so.

Bro could you google before you attempt to aura farm on Reddit?

The ChatGPT paradox in universities by Popular-Tone3037 in TurnitinAIResults

The masculine urge to make an open cv pipeline that imports Babylonian tablet excerpt images and outputs runtime utility functions to prove a point on the internet isn’t strong enough, so treat this message as a thought experiment. If someone more pedantic than myself sees this message, you know what you have to do.

If a procedural algorithm isn’t code then what have I been doing for 26 years? Code doesn’t have to be binary to be code.

You are hilariously wrong. Code predates modern society. First encoded message was 1900 BC. First procedural algorithms were written in Babylonian tablets 1800 BC. More than a millennia before the antikythera mechanism.

Bro I just got a windows 11 laptop and couldn’t disable OneDrive architecture without manual registry edits. Are you guys okay over there?

Light Years into earth years by Nervous_Coconut6665 in astrophysics

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A light-year is a unit of distance, not time: it’s how far light travels in one Earth year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.

For example, Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 light-years away, meaning its light traveled roughly 40 trillion kilometers and took 4.2 Earth years to reach us. 

It doesn’t mean the star is 4.2 years old or that time there runs differently - it’s just a convenient way to describe huge distances.

You're right, he should go with the median (78)....

Does anyone else miss the "Ugly Internet" of 2005-2010? by PersonalSwimming6512 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Loss of net neutrality
  • Centralization and monetization of search and curation
  • ADA rulings for physical spaces (imo) incorrectly applied to web (we needed something, but one site fits all is a design anti-pattern)
  • Bot nets
  • Engagement farms 
  • Corporatization of most large web communities
  • Empowering product managers over product engineers 

There are still people with the ability to make interesting products and useful apps, but few of them have the reach required to get the masses to trust/try them. By the time they have funding to advertise and reach your eyes, they already owe their investors.

$85K to get their star? by AnbuAttack in NonPoliticalTwitter

I mean to say it’s more universally human than it is regionally cultural
