The innovation isn’t the product, it is the manufacturing. The cells in pacemakers had the housing of the pacemaker to protect from puncture.

These devices are meant to go in portable electronics so puncture safety is far more critical.

Honestly radioactive copper as a low volt lifetime battery is an interesting idea. It won’t live power a phone but it could charge it while inactive.

Good for camping where solar isn’t viable.

The suffering should never be the point. It never gives meaningful satisfaction to the bereaved and affected and studies support this.

It is only human and normal to burn with anger and a desire to see monsters such as this torn apart and made to suffer.

This is part of our animal mind that views tribal justice and the dubious ‘wisdom of the crowds’ as absolute, and most of the fuckdamn reason we’ve spent so long learning how to live around millions of each other is in part giving up these outdated and unhelpful social traits.

In the long run, from the cultural perspective, no amount of his suffering will bring his victims back, and no amount of suffering will convince him that he was morally wrong.

So execute him, and quickly, and spend the money otherwise that would have covered his upkeep on free food for single parents.

What alternative do you have for people actively detrimental to societies such as serial killers and child rapists?

The only danger that creeps in here is ‘who gets to decide who is useless and dangerous?’ because I wear glasses and don’t feel like being on the receiving end of a Khmer Rouge style microcide.

The root of all of a state’s power is the right to employ violence. It is a barbaric practice but to be fair we are a barbaric species.

Some people should not be allowed to curse the earth with their existence.

It may be barbaric, and considering how many innocents have been railroaded into it via abuse or neglect of justice, ethically untenable on the face of it.

That said, I feel there are certain people who’s actions are so horrific and ideologies so dangerous that should not be allowed to harm society again, and that includes having to pay for their upkeep.

There are many worthy of execution that have been released to kill again.

In our imperfect world it is not right to levy a judgment that cannot be reversed.

If we magically had perfect knowledge of guilt and innocence, I would have zero issue with the death penalty being applied.

Since that world does not, and cannot exist, I will accept life imprisonment, grudgingly. Some people simply cannot or will not be rehabilitated.

COMING THIS SUMMER THE BLOCKBUSTER THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE!

Oppenheimer!

Tesla!

Big Daddy E!

Across the chasm of time itself these three masters of reality converge to combine their brilliant minds and hone their arts to battle fascism’s most powerful madman: Cyber UltraHitler Mark 5! Thrill at high-stakes airship combat as Tesla unleashes his Even Deather Ray on the nazi zeppelin fleets! Never before have these mighty Men of Science gathered to battle such a desperate foe! Come for the explosions but STAY for the Intense Chalkboard Action!

PCMCIA but we don’t need to use it much nowadays

Not to vegans, they’re clinically insane.

The pest control is true for the short term, though I find that over time even well kept facilities develop some kind of pest problem.

maybe if they kept chickens in the lobby…

The notable thing about highrises is a small solar footprint, and you need to have ownership/rights to install on the roof.

If you have that much space for solar panels, then maybe a traditional grow would be better than urban vert farming

There’s an organic produce company in Manhattan that uses vertical grow chambers and they get around the lighting problem by illuminating from the center of the cluster and rotating the plant pods occasionally.

They get around energy usage by charging a premium and taking advantage of state agricultural grants.

It’s expensive but you can get city grown butter lettuce year round.

Oh, you’re one of the kind I left reddit because of. Lets see if there are any blocking tools on lemmy.

OH and you ALSO have -5 reputation ALREADY.

What is wrong with you?

I know for a fact I’ve aged past plasticity and IPv6 will never be ‘natural’ but then as far as IT guys go, literally no one I work with is younger than me lol!

I’m retiring soon and fine without spending more of my life expanding a knowledge set I may only use for a few more years, that said I am ABSOLUTELY into crypto and was an early miner before GPUs got edged out.

As far as AI writing code: It simply is the future. I am not exaggerating.

At some point humans will not write line by line code and being a coder will mean ‘knowing how to best instruct AI to make code, then reviewing and verifying it’, and at some point the code AI will write will be incomprehensible to human reading, just like how antennas are designed today.

We are in the infancy of it but I GUARANTEE you there is at lease 2 groups right now training AI on codebases alone.

Guaran-fucking-tee

And the stuff they will make will FLOOD the market with cheap, quick apps and basically turn hand coding into an artisan work or for specific use instances.

That’s a pretty good idea actually but may not cleanly translate to existing infrsatructure.

I got some inspiration from the Dark Souls messages system, and how it can be cross language

This is undeniably true though as I am tasked as the security monitor for several tiny LANs, NOT letting every device have DMZ access has its advantages.

Maybe I’m just too greybeard to want to change. I love IPv6 for infrastructure and personal devices. For my home LAN and those I am responsible for, a tightly nailed down IPv4 environment is what I prefer.

I’ll leave the massive address space and IoT readiness to you young and upcoming packet jockys, and in my retirement will marvel at the wonders you create.

For now, you’ll get your DHCP and you’ll like it if you want to stay in my house young man!

IPv6 is all well and good until you need to read of an IP address for a call or write it down if you don’t have copy-paste UI access.

Then you will pine for the days of four octets.

I think a reputation system is important, though reddit’s current karma implementation is bad, there needs to be a method of identifying bad actors and forum shifters.

One refinement over karma could be that the score is kept only by community and should reflect that users contribution to the community.

Simple upvotes and downvotes also don’t allow for nuance, replace them with a Buzzfeed like tag system (yes I know we all hate the site for its content but its tag system if used properly could be pretty powerful.

So instead of ‘up’ and ‘down’, you have a clickable emoji-menu like list of tags like ‘interesting’, ‘boring’, ‘funny’, ‘WTF!?’, ‘Quality’, ‘Trash’, ‘Educational’, ‘CAT’, etc…

So the reputation score for the community isn’t just a flat number, rather it will tell you the kind of content a person posts over time, and doesn’t carry just flat positive or negative connotation.

I mean the king of Catposting may have massive reputation in meme subs with high ranks in tags for ‘Funny’, ‘Cute’, and ‘CAT’ though that might not be the case if they participate in say a chemistry QnA community.

As these scores are created over time based on each users contributions (post AND comment reputation is the same thing) to the sub as scored by other people’s tag selections for that users posts. The more it aligns with the community, the greater their contribution score.

Does this mean that toxic communities can form that exclude people based on reputation tags that the toxic community detests?

Unfortunately yes, that is one of the flaws of the system.

THOUGH

The fact it is contained by community means that a high rep person in an anti-trans community will not have any carryover reputation when joining a community they wish to brigade or degrade the quality of content, and their tag history will make it easy to determine their genuine engagement.
