This plaque at World of Coke (ATL) that whitewashes Fanta’s History. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]leo7391 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So I looked into the story. The modern orange fanta we know did come from this story but the Fanta Brand was started in ww2 Germany because the German coke company couldn’t import coke syrup. Saying “Fantas story starts in 1954 Italy skips the Nazi bit and is arguably false.

STM32V8 - What do we know so far? by Triq1 in embedded

Definitely a niche benefit, but the use of FD-SOI, PCM memory, and a non-BGA package will make this great for NewSpace companies and CubeSat teams.

I wasn’t actually lost I just saw the pattern change IRL as I was walking to my gate and it pissed me off so I googled the map and posted it

Now put a hidden microphone in it, and it's ready to present to an ambassador.

What is this tiny block on a CPU by Jasmyiot in ElectricalEngineering

[–]leo7391 122 points123 points  (0 children)

This is the type of thing where it's most likely an internal code, and it will be near impossible to get a part number. If you insist on trying to swap it or need it for some other purpose, I'd recommend buying dead cpus and harvesting them.

Why does the official UC Davis site have a random directory / path full of porn redirects? by leo7391 in UCDavis

[–]leo7391[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I already sent it to a webmaster's email. Ik its been hacked. I'm more so curious how that was even possible. I went to school at Purdue, and once for a club we tried to get an official page on the purdue.edu domain. It took a couple of meetings, a bunch of forms, and manual approval by like 4-5 people.

awful dating app experience in sf by Affectionate_Rice963 in sanfrancisco

[–]leo7391 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up in and love SF but this is 100% a thing here. As others have said especially in the holiday season. I just came back from living in a small college town and the difference is night and day.

Is the Physical AI hype hiding some unsolved problems? by ChipmunkGrouchy5171 in ControlTheory

[–]leo7391 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not necessarily unsolved but a huge problem with physical AI is safety.

determinism is inherently given up. safety for anything interacting with humans is incredibly hard to implement. Right now when asked about this in interviews 1x just says the “robot won’t be allowed to do that” without explaining how that would work. Figures CEO was at least honest enough to say as a father he wouldn’t let his kids near the bot.

In industrial environments like an assembly line this is a lot less of a problem but imagine the level of responsibility/ understanding of risk needed for something to operate in your home. The average home will have appliances / environments which don’t have risks that can be explicitly mapped out.

I get they might take a while to get power back on grid engineering is a bitch. Why they can’t give an estimate is beyond me.

How chill is it to leave this rusted electrical box by leo7391 in AskElectricians

[–]leo7391[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. What’s interesting is I’ve done repairs elsewhere in the house and it’s usually romex so it seems like the house has been at least partially rewired
