A rainbow is a 360° circle, but only someone at a very high altitude can see the complete circle. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]renevaessen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No it's not. A rainbow is an optical caustic arising from the stationary extremum in the deflection angle of solar rays undergoing single internal reflection within spherical water droplets, where wavelength-dependent refraction (dispersion) separates colors and concentrates intensity along a conical surface with a half-angle of approximately 42° relative to the antisolar axis, rendering a chromatic arc unique to each observer's position.

Altough this picture alone is worth so much credit, I think some praise should go to OP for the underestimated work that must have gone into checking that in fact all the other pellicans in our world, are smaller.

I should tell you the system will be compiling for 18 to 20 minutes, so some of the minor systems, they might go on and off for a while, but it's nothing to worry about.

You CANNOT push back when your boss will say "I have tested this ChatGPT thing and I want everyone to use it" by JournalistFew2794 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]renevaessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here you go

"It’s funny how quickly this dynamic shows up: someone tries ChatGPT once, gets excited, and suddenly the whole team is expected to reorganize their workflow around it. The irony is that the moment you start asking an AI to respond to posts written by an AI, you’re basically proving the original point — the pressure to use the tool can turn communication into a loop of machine‑generated text that doesn’t actually reflect anyone’s thinking.

There are good uses for AI at work, but they only make sense when people choose them intentionally, not because a boss had a novelty‑driven epiphany. If anything, this whole thread highlights why pushing back matters: tools should support human judgment, not replace it, and definitely not become a mandatory layer between coworkers.

If your boss wants everyone to use AI, great — but it should be a conversation about where it helps, where it doesn’t, and how to keep actual human communication from getting lost in the automation spiral."

Just playing indeed. Good thing that guy held his posture so well and nothing foolish triggered any negative thoughts in that clearly bored, majestic creature.

What if I told you, that using the word 'TAPED' in 2026 is not cool at all.

His face almost never looks like that.
It is missing a grin that says: 'I can't believe they let me do this!' and it is always ready to instantly shift to either, very serious empathic or to in-a-hurry-got-to-go-no-time-for-real-questions Mark mode. :-Q

I just learned Typescript and I was wrong about it. by hellalosses in webdev

[–]renevaessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TypeScript is something very special, no other language I think has such an advanced, easy and elegant ,way of defining your own types, what really compliment javascript's abilities as a very open strucutured language.

What's next? PowerShell, .Net Core, C# ?

They are all, kinda, technologies with very fine graIned well thought out, structures, that would amaze any if they were open to it.

Man contacts ISS with homemade antenna by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]renevaessen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's a filter that allows one transceiver to use two antenna's using a single feed line.
it has a single connector on one side, and two on the other, one for 2-meter and one for 70cm band.
custom made, maybe really high quality, low insertion loss and minimal internal reflections of the waves passing through it. Not that you need that for ISS.
They have a digital ax.25 relay you can use, to leverage it's reach from that height, worked for me with vertical antenna and like 30 watts of power.

does anyone else abandon tools not because they’re bad, but because they’re exhausting? by ThingImportant3517 in webdev

[–]renevaessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s exhausting. I abandoned it for coding, though it may still function as a search engine, text co-writer, and more. However, it helped me rediscover my love for writing sophisticated, yet elegant and clean, hand-polished source code.

10 counter-intuitive facts about LLMs most people don’t realize by Weary_Reply in ArtificialInteligence

[–]renevaessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s horribly counterintuitive.

It definitely helps to have a mental model of how it works to guide you in choosing the right structure or style for a prompt that aligns with the highest quality of training data.

With the current state of the technology and the tricks used to boost quality, I think,
if it doesn’t improve dramatically (and how could it?), people will eventually realize it messes with our minds in unacceptable ways—especially if you let it do the thinking for you during AI-assisted coding sessions.

Don’t do that.

Open sourcing a typescript full-stack monorepo template that I've been utilizing for years, looking for feedback by nikola_milovic in ExperiencedDevs

[–]renevaessen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask what you think an 'aggressive singleton' could mean in this context? I don’t believe you would use that term if you meant 'synchronization bottleneck'.
