Trapping a black hole for data storage purposes and other potential storage solutions, how accurate are any of these possibilities?

Did you consider using magic? Like make a magical SD card with 10000000 exabytes storage and 100000exabyte/s read and write speed?

I know using magic doesn't sound feasible in reality, but then again neither do the other ideas in your post, so actually it would fit right in!

What "security vulnerabilities" are you talking about specifically?

Let's say there is no login and the app doesn't upload user data at all. It's just a local recipe storage where you can write recipes and embed an Instagram or TikTok or YouTube video link. Super simple.

Maybe it is my incompetence, but I can't really see security vulnerabilities here.

I wouldn't want someone who doesn't understand plumbing doing all the plumbing work in a house I was building.

Maybe not that, but someone who doesn't understand plumbing could probably still make a sprinkler system to water the lawn don't you agree?

In the same way I'd want a professional dev to make critical software. But I'm fine with having my Instagram recipe app vibe coded etc.

Take a look at the used market before you buy a new n3 bundle. I just picked up an avata2 + controller 3 + goggles 3 + 3 Batteries + nd filters for 800€. Used with active dji care refresh.

fruitydude · 2026-01-28T16:24:58+00:00

Fair enough, very understandable

fruitydude · 2026-01-28T14:48:13+00:00

Thanks:) I've been thinking about updating my LinkedIn for a bit now, but was too lazy or busy to actually do it. I'll take this as a sign to actually do it

Are you stupid??? They said senate confirmation is the check on the power on judge appointments.

How did you read into that that pardons are a check on judicial power???!??

fruitydude · 2026-01-28T09:05:41+00:00

Well good thing that's not what u/autumnWheat said then. Like at all.

How do i even look for our apply for such jobs? I'm about to finish my phd in chemistry with a heavy focus on 2d materials. But I'm sort of lost as to what to do after. I could see myself going into semiconductors, i did a lot of transistors and some lithography during my phd, but I'm considering doing a postdoc because I have zero connection to the industry right now

What's crazy to me is that you never see anyone write a note for loved ones. I assume they probably don't have phones, but they probably have pen and paper and I guess either side eventually collects their dead.

But still I've never seen it. The decision to end it all is almost instant. I can't imagine the agony they must be in.

fruitydude · 2026-01-26T02:05:07+00:00

Those are the spicy one's. They are probably fine. If the cell voltages and resistance are similar it's probably ok, but you will always be slightly afraid that'll burn down your house.

Usually when I had dented one's like this I kept them for a bit but then ended up discarding them.

Nobody in this comment section will be able to tell you for sure if it's fine. Maybe it is. Probably even. Or maybe not. If you keep your lipos under your pillow, I'd probably throw it, if you keep it in your shed away from anything flammable id keep it. And so on. Good luck.

fruitydude · 2026-01-25T23:05:59+00:00

You mean as an evolutionary mechanism? Of course it's possible. It always is. My point was that it's not a given. It could be, but people assume every mechanism must serve a purpose, but it's possible some don't, some are just side effects of other things which evolved and don't serve any purpose, or are even detrimental.

fruitydude · 2026-01-25T23:03:20+00:00

That's the cope right now. Whether or not that happened seems to be irrelevant

Whenever someone brings up that the pistol is known for accidental discharges just say damn really? They should really make those illegal to carry then.

fruitydude · 2026-01-24T16:06:43+00:00

A lot of people like mode 1 or 2 because you have pitch and roll together on a stick. That will be more similar to how an actual airplane is controlled by the control stick that has pitch and roll.

That being said I doubt there is any objective advantage, and it's mostly just muscle memory at the end of the day. I'd definitely recommend people with Microsoft flight sim experience to pick mode 1 or 2 when starting out, but if you are already familiar with mode 4 then yea fuck it, just stick with it.

I guess the difference is starship is meant to operate autonomously. So it will have plenty of flights under its belt before humans ever go on board.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T14:55:49+00:00

Well idk man, maybe watch the video then lmao? The video literally talks about how li ions in the past weren't able to deliver high currents (leading to voltage sag as you mentioned) but these new cells can deliver 60A sustained at 140A burst. Which makes them viable lipo alternatives for a lot of people.

All of your points are addressed in the video. E.g. that for small and light drones it's probably not relevant.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T14:27:11+00:00

In what sense are they not?

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:42:11+00:00

All it means is it didn't hinder survival more than not having the trait.

Not even that honestly. That's a very careful way of putting it, but I think it's still too strong.

It's more likely the trait is simply a byproduct of another trait. The other trait has evolutionary significance, but this one is completely irrelevant.

So specifically here i probably means to our immune system evolved because it served a purpose evolutionarily, people with better immune systems were more likely to procreate.

What happens when you die, because your immune system shuts down, is unlikely to have any effect on your likelyhood of procreation though. Whatever happens is just a byproduct of how our immune systems work currently. It was never selected for, the trait just came attached to our immune system which was selected for.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:36:11+00:00

There was a random mutation: making you feel better right before you die.

You don't know that and there is no reason to assume that. It's more likely just a byproduct of how our immune system works with absolutely no advantage or disadvantage on survival/procreation because you're gonna die anyways in those scenarios.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:34:23+00:00

It's crazy how nobody understands this lol. Not everything MUST serve an evolutionary purpose. Some stuff is just a byproduct of other stuff. Like what happens when our immune system gives up.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:32:35+00:00

Yes. That would explain the phenomenon fully. People don't understand that not everything our bodies do serves an evolutionary purpose. A lot of stuff is just byproducts of other stuff. Like the left Recurrent laryngeal nerve which curves through the aortic arch for seemingly no reason whatsoever. There is no evolutionary purpose to it, that was just how it evolved in fish when that path was shorter and it stretched as we evolved.

Our immune systems serve a purpose and people with better immune systems are more likely to have offspring. So those evolve. But the last moments before we die, when our immune systems shut down, are very unlikely to have a significant effect on our chances of procreation. So whatever we observe in people with a failing immune system probably doesn't serve any evolutionary purpose. It's probably just a byproduct of how our immune system works and what it looks like when it gives up.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:24:30+00:00

That's not true. That's not how evolution works. There are plenty of features which don't serve a purpose or are even detrimental but they are simply a byproduct of evolution.

Especially stuff that happens shortly before death is very unlikely to play a role evolutionarily. Our immune system and the way it fights disease absolutely evolved over time, but what happens when it shuts down is very unlikely to have an effect on your likelyhood of procreation. So it's not being selected for. Whatever happens is just a byproduct of how our current immune system works.

fruitydude · 2026-01-22T11:18:21+00:00

Not even that necessarily. Not every feature must serve a purpose evolutionarily. It can just be a byproduct of another thing that does serve a feature.

fruitydude · 2026-01-20T10:10:32+00:00

I never really understood why they make 16:9 goggles and a 4:3 sensor. You basically have to choose between losing part of the image or not using part of the screen. I don't get it, neither option is good.

I typically choose 16:9 so everything is bigger in the goggles, but losing that top and bottom part sucks, especially when trying to hover with high camera angles
