As the infamous mushroom trial comes to a close at the same time as the coroner’s findings in the inquest into the killing of Kumanjayi Walker found that former constable Rolfe, who killed the Indigenous teen, is racist and so is police force’s systems; the media outlets who set up teams to cover the trial will now obviously shift those recourses to covering the police’s structural racism.
“We’ve shown that when we want to, we can have entire teams dedicated to covering people being killed,” said one newsroom editor, “it would be a failure of our duty as news outlets if we don’t give the same attention to the people being killed in police custody.”
“Plus, the there is way more to cover here considering the amount of police brutality we are seeing not just in the Northern Territory, but nationwide. So many more deaths, and while sure none of them involve beef wellington, it would be ridiculous if that mattered in our coverage.”

This has been a very intense week. Monday brought a meeting with some fairly impactful news. Nothing I can't handle, but it will certainly influence the next 12 months. Tuesday was a demanding day, and on Wednesday, I tried to take it easier, but there was no way. Thursday involved delivering some items to a client, and the nice satisfaction of coming home with their baked goods. Yesterday was another tough day, getting home at midnight. All of this, of course, was on top of my normal work. Additionally, there were two situations that disappointed me: one I expected, the other absolutely not. All of this meant that the nice plans I had in mind for today evaporated because my energy was extremely low. But, as often happens, I managed to put two ideas together. One was already in motion, but I'm adapting it for new uses. The other is a consequence of the events that happened these past few days, plus something else that's been in the pipeline for a while. Stay tuned 😉
sure. Everything's always relative. Maybe I didn't express my feelings in the proper way - I was complaining about the week while being grateful for the outcome - me doing stuff I like, to relax, after a long and full week.
@Stefano Marinelli I'm dealing with a toe wound that won't heal, two of three broken cars, when my eldest son first moved out of our house, he got a dog but then ended up moving where they weren't allowed, so we took care of here for a decade, then he bought a house while he could have her, now she's dying of cancer. We're going up to visit before she gets so bad she needs to be euthanized. But we're still here, and save for his dog (which was for all intents and purposes our dog for a decade), life goes on.
@Stefano Marinelli My mood is ok, it's all context, as I said, save for the dog life goes on. And it's a gorgeous sunny day here (which is rare in the Seattle area).
great! It's been rainy here today, but it's ok. We've had some hot weeks and new hot days will come later this week. So enjoy the sun and have a great day!

I'm gonna sound like a weeb again, but I had sake for the first time and I think it's the only good alcohol. Sweet enough to not be throat burning, but not too sweet to glue down your throat. It's like a mellow wine with a hint of nuts.
Congratulations! It is one of my favorites too. Beer is bitter, wine is too sour or sharp, liquors are too strong. Ever hear the saying that sake tastes sweet when you're happy, but bitter when you're sad?
you do have a point, i was trying to do some trash talk however sweet alcohol tends to make you drink more without knowing, and you may wake up at break of dawn on your chair with a sore neck.
@Jens_Rasmussen I'm not a drinker so my view is definitely limited, but from what I've tried, some ciders are ok, but a pure apple cider tends to be very sour, sweet rums are both way too sweet and throat burning, flavored beer that's popular now is worse than regular beer, mulled wine is pretty good. I haven't tried mead yet though.

Dealing with Amazon support chat for the last half an hour regarding their 8th(!) late delivery this year. *So* very tired of hearing "I understand your concern" and "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" and other meaningless replies from three people in turn, none of whom will actually answer my questions... Now onto the 4th person.
LOL, I actually managed to do this with a broken spacebar. Half the bar was missing, so I took a completely different model scrap keyboard that was water damaged, carefully cut it in half, secured that with the original half with a couple paper clips and epoxy, and somehow even managed to make the stabilizer bar underneath line up and work.
Hey, if it looks stupid but works, it's not stupid. 👍

I am so fucking sick and tired of people claiming that Cory Doctorow invented the term "enshittification". Sure, he popularized it because he's famous and shit, but my colleagues and I had been using "enshittification" since 2010 starting with Oracle buying Sun Microsystems. LONG before Cory Doctorow even knew what that word meant.
And you know what? I'm not claiming that we invented the word either!
Because we heard it from a vendor.
Who probably heard it from one of their customers.
So stop claiming that Cory Doctorow invented the word. HE DIDN'T.
Pytorch is a really neat DSL for machine learning stuff, but also wow it's very a research platform. Impossible things are medium-hard, but also things that should be easy like "fine-tune a pretrained image classifier on a corpus, using mainstream tuning techniques and configuration" are also medium-hard.
Anyway, so far I have successfully gotten this binary classifier to say that one random image I have is -1.438 of whatever it is the classifier is evaluating. Which is nothing, because I had to replace the neural net's classifier head and so while most of the network has some pre-training, the final output layer is "take all the knowledge distilled from the image, and return a random guess".
Next step, let's see if I can figure out how to implement a training loop...
These focking city deer. Can't have any nice flowers out. We moved our coleus back to the front steps LAST NIGHT, after they had recovered sufficiently. Already chewed on. I can't believe we are the only ones pissed about these rats with hooves. Somebody needs to cull this population. They do periodically in Ann Arbor.
For anyone following along at home, I figured I'd provide daytime photos of the bed tent.
As you can see, it's not total blackout and some light does come in, but it's definitely not bad.
Additional photo with the sides rolled up so you can see the amount of light in the room.
Bonus photo for @mentallyalex showing that you can fit a Chicago Style Manual and a small sci-fi book in the pockets (will not be trying Style Manual again because my baby tent was straining). That being said, there are pockets on both sides, so four pockets total.
I'm sorry, but I need to know what this is right now. My wife would love this. Is it just called "Sleep Tent"? I'm having trouble getting results for this where I live.
I'm thinking of getting something like that so I don't freeze to death in my drafty bedroom.
Does yours have a "floor"? My mattress is super heavy, I can't possibly lift it up on my own, so I'm looking for a floorless one that wraps around the mattress, if that makes sense.
this makes me strangely happy, I thought the other day I need something like this, although my flat is already in a basement, and my bedroom has no windows, i think im just a fan of micro nests haha….

NES mapper programming sounds like shitposts or elaborate pranks. For example, MMC1. Super common chip, used on Metroid, Legend of Zelda, Bionic Commando.
To program it, you simply write five bytes to the upper half of the memory space. The LSB of each byte is added to a shift register and then for the 5th byte the 13th and 14th bit of the address are used to determine which register to program.
this is the kind of thing you'd expect to happen as part of some kind of tricky DRM system but no, the NES's DRM is implemented completely differently (and outside of the view of the CPU).
Electrical assistance please. I have this sub panel and I want to add a 50 dc breaker to run a 180v 40amp motor for my knife grinder. Is it possible? All the breakers in the panel are 15 amp, I believe this panel just covers my garage and maybe the water heater.
Will I do damage if I just give it a try. Any assistance is sincerely appreciated.
First off, a 180v motor isn't really a thing, are you sure it's not a 480v motor?
If it's 480v, then it's going to be 3 phase (it'll have 3 hot wires and a ground) and there's no way you're going to run it without an inverter motor controller. The good news is those are not exorbitantly expensive.
So give me a picture of the motor data-plate and I'll tell you what you can do...
Okay, so you're not going to be connecting the motor to mains power, you'll be connecting it to the outputs on that controller, and then you'll be connecting the inputs on that controller to a normal 240v or 120v breaker, depending on what it wants. Do you have a picture of the terminals and diagram of the controller ?
@cjd I found a PDF with the controllers details. I think these pages are what's is relevant. It appears that the controller will work both with 110 & 220.
Okay, so you should find a 120/240 selector switch, do yourself a favor and put it to 120, get a stretch of power cord and a cord cap from the store, and hook up the hot/neutral/ground and then make sure the field and armature wires are hooked to the motor appropriately. The amp load is like 3 amps, so you can plug it in anywhere, no concerns.
Side note: What you read as 40 amps on the motor was actually maximum ambient temperature, 40C (104F). The motor's max amperage is 7.5, but it'll never see that.
It's more likely to look something like this and it will be found somewhere inside or on the edge of the motor controller.
Alternatively, it's possible that it's based on connecting 2 of the wires that come out of the controller together, in which case you just need to dig into the documentation for the controller to find out which ones.
DO NOT SKIP THIS PART, you need to make sure it's on the right voltage. 120 when it should be 240, or 240 when it should be 120 can both fry the controller.
@cjd I know I coming in on this late but something is not adding up for me. The spec sheet on the control says 1/20 to 1/8th horsepower (HP) motor and the motor name plate says 1.5HP. Give the questions Centerfinger is asking, my recommendation is he find/hire someone with experience in these things. Electricity can kill and it will hurt the whole time.
My understanding is that controller came with the machine, so it's been used that way before. In any case, a correctly wired but under-sized controller is going to trip an overload, or at worst, burn out.
> Electricity can kill
This is true, but what kills is having an ungrounded chassis which somehow becomes hot. If you're wiring anything and you're at all worried about your grounding, take a 5$ multimeter and do a continuity check between the chassis and the ground pin on your plug. If those are not connected, fix your grounds.
With good grounds, the worst* that can happen is you plug it in and you get a spark and a tripped breaker.
*I'm well aware of fundamentally dangerous electrical devices like magnetrons, capacitors, high voltage circuits, etc. But this isn't that.
@cjd CJD, not trying to get into an argument with you. What kills you is current flowing thru your body. A live chassis is just one way. The questions @Centerfinger is asking and the information he is providing indicate he is in over his head. Not my house not me life. He is free to do what he wants.
You're right in general, but there are so many cases where the safest advice is "seek a qualified professional", and I generally assume that if someone is asking online then this is already not a realistic option for them.
So yeah, if he took your advice to heart and hired a professional, that would be better. But if he said "damn internet people are so unhelpful, I think I'll just wire it up and see what happens", then my advice is better than that.
A friend of mine does flowers for weddings and he was going to pick up flowers but couldn’t get through because a massive assault on people working in the flower growers in #Carpenteria. This is a video he took from there. They rolled up in unmarked vehicles as well as military assault vehicles armed with assault rifles and just grab anyone and everyone who looks like a Mexican, US citizen or not. They cuff them and haul them away. They never show identification or arrest warrants, they just swarm someone, throw them down, hogtie them and haul em off #ice
