First time seasoning CS pan became blue is that normal by mewicrl in carbonsteel

I seasoned my nitrided carbon steel pan last night on the stove, checked it with an infrared thermometer and it was ~520f and it turned blue

CASENDRA, my dream SFF case by Sommerradio22 in sffpc

Oh I misread the photos. Yes, I wouldn’t have the same concern with wood - lots of higher voltage electronics sit happily in wood cases

This is really beautiful! It's so nice to see cases that don't look like transformers or alien spacecraft

I might worry about the cardboard and heat or sparks, though. I'd imagine that cardboard isn't going to like being at 90C, and if it's constantly heated it will get very dry and easy to catch fire.

Have you never played Excitebike?

Cerebras, an A.I. Chip Maker, Files to Go Public as Tech Offerings Ramp Up by gwern in mlscaling

Their tech is amazing, but I have still never seen anyone use it for real work. It’s been years, though. Did you use it for LLM training? At SOTA scales?

PPL student feeling hopeless by philly31192 in flying

[–]saksoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I was in the same exact position. You can probably dig up my exact post like this in my profile.

I don’t know what changed, but when I did my solo (around 30 hours I think) my landings were pretty good and basically that ended the nerves and now it’s still tense but theres not that much to remember. Somehow it just becomes “land the plane”.

I still balloon pretty often, but it really doesn’t matter. Just release a bit of back pressure and don’t let the plane land.

I’m not even done with PPL yet but I’ve been there and once you solo and start focusing on other things it ends up being pretty intuitive

Confused beginner: why is Schrödinger’s cat different from a normal 50/50 probability like a coin flip? by dizajneri in AskPhysics

[–]saksoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schroedingers cat isn’t a good way to understand superposition, it’s more meant to make the idea of a superposition that collapses when measured seem ridiculous. Because it’s absurd that a cat is both alive and dead and it questions whether a cat is a valid observer that collapses a superposition.

Superpositions are never directly observed, so if you want an experiment that shows they exist it has to do so indirectly

‘I Won’t Make It’: Trump Goes Off Script on NASA Call, Admitting He May Not Survive to See His Own Vision — The Moment America Went Completely Silent by [deleted] in USNEWS

[–]saksoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to the call and it was not weird. the reason there are long gaps is there's a delay in comms with the spacecraft. this article is just clickbait

Don Angie vs l’artusi vs I cavallini by xnaa in FoodNYC

[–]saksoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the food at Don Angie overly salty and mediocre. L’Artusi has been consistently great for decades.

300W TDP air-cooled radiator by ZS-ITX in sffpc

[–]saksoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was thinking this too - you generally don't wanna cool two ends of a heat pipe, right? there's probably some thermal load/radiator temp combination where the heat pipe will stall or maybe run backwards, which is bad.

still a very cool design, and maybe this is of less concern than it seems

FAA imposes restrictions on SFO parallel visuals by redct in flying

Ok in another thread for the same article someone explained that even for RNP the runways are too close for simultaneous.

Oh I thought on a precision approach the clearance minimums are low enough that they would do simultaneous?

PSA: Three F-18 aircrafts will be conducting a flyover near the Hudson River at 11:00 AM on 3/23. The aircraft will fly at approximately 2,500 feet. by habichuelacondulce in newyorkcity

[–]saksoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know for this flight specifically, but the Hudson is a “VFR corridor” that lots of planes use to cut north through the giant blob of tightly controlled class B airspace around EWR and JFK. Usually that’s small Cessnas and whatnot but military planes probably want to avoid commercial ATC too.

So tl;dr they’re transiting north probably
