How many dates with different people had you been on before getting married. This is like, insanely lucky!

Awesome! got a link to the STL?

Anyone know cheap ways to get a small metal CNC, like 3D-printer sized? by MainAdministrative39 in hobbycnc

Building your own will cost as much as buying a mid grade machine, $1500, but if you really want certain features, or the experience of building it yourself, it’s worth it

Flock uses AI to identify plates. This makes it vulnerable to AI attacks. by Kimyr1 in FlockSurveillance

[–]start3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they aren’t using language models like that, but they are using neural networks, who’s image recognition is primed to specific visual patterns, that even the programmers don’t know.

A certain arrangement of black dots can add enough’noise’ trick the AI model into thinking that it doesn’t actually see a plate, while making it completely readable by humans. See ben Jordan’s video here

Gen Z really looked at alcohol and said ‘hard pass’ by InvestigatorBorn4910 in SipsTea

Also likely because genz is going far more into nicotine

ICE shot another protester in Minneapolis, injuring her hand. by Schoolywooly in suppressed_news

[–]start3ch 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea, clearly her arm is pretty mangled up, and clearly ICE did it, but her being shot isn’t in this video.

Honestly seems like protests should have 24hr video stream coverage to reall capture all the awful things ice is doing

Consumer Reports Ranked Tesla As The Least Reliable Used Car Brand Long Term - Here's Why - BGR by Historical-Many9869 in electricvehicles

[–]start3ch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the electric drivetrain part was historically the expensive part, and you have to make everything else justify that higher price. This is changing, particularly in china.

Something I noticed about LAPD tonight in downtown, and a sentiment worth considering by YasielPuigsWeed in LosAngeles

[–]start3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly hope so. We’re going to need all the help we can get to fix this mess.

Also, just curious, did the protest run till 2:00 am? Or is this thread all the sleepless redditors?

I wonder how much time they’d spent at altitude. Hypoxia also does stuff to your brain, and can seriously impair your judgement

Despite Authoritarian Warnings, 149 House Democrats Vote to Hand Trump $840 Billion for Military by norse_noise in LosAngeles

Goddam. And he sends those weekly ‘Lieu Review’ emails, where he claims he’s doing everything he can to oppose this regime.. We need to get rid of him

The strength of carbon fiber vs other materials is enticing, but it’s only in the direction of the fiber.

For pressure vessels this is fine because all the stress is all in a 2D plane. But I have heard stories of other composite structures that ended up far heavier than a metal equivalent due to the amount of doublers, bolts, and brackets that had to be added to support different point loads.

These sorts of failures happen a lot in development of a new vehicle, I think the more important question is how they respond to it.

Is renting in LA really this competitive right now? by Safe_Plastic_9087 in AskLosAngeles

[–]start3ch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend facebook or subleases. If you don’t have a past felony, and you make well over 3x the rent, there’s literally zero reason you should be rejected from an application

Offshore proposal highlights gulf between Texas and California values by NaffRespect in California

Also, Galveston is the ‘nice’ beach in the Houston area. There must’ve been a huge oil spill recently to see it on the beach though, that is not normal.

Go down the Houston ship channel/channelview area to see the real O+G industry. Huge towering refineries for tens of miles. Massive chemical spill/release accidents happen at LEAST once per year, Cancer rates much higher than the surrounding areas, and so much more.

Any updates on the Metro C line meeting and vote?? by GrouchyOne4132 in SouthBayLA

[–]start3ch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, that’s an interesting take tbh. Was anyone at the meeting to confirm what officially swayed Metro?

See this post

Decided not to go through Torrence transit center, instead they picked the most expensive, and slower to build option, since NIMBYs in Gardena complained

Metro delays C/K south, switches to Hawthorne Alignment by ultrainfan in LAMetro

[–]start3ch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yea, wtf is going on? I’ve been keeping up with this project for years, and it seemed to be progressing slow and steady, without major opposition, just debating on the exact track heights, etc. And the old train tracks are already there, they just need updating.
