datameta··on Fiber optic drone control beats any RF jammer
Fiber is problematic as far as LOS and obstacles are concerned. Most launch points are concealed, usually at the edge of a treeline. As far as I understand, fiber creates unnecessary risk for operators.

datameta··on The upstream cause of the youth mental health crisis is the loss of community
I would argue it should be handled exactly like drug addiction ought to be. That is, as a widespread medical issue. But it is more complex than drug abuse due to interaction with people expressly being part of the equation. One's phone is ever available and there are very very few places indoors or outdoors that it isn't considered socially acceptable to use their smartphone for social media. The same is not true for alcohol or cannabis. Most people won't simply walk down the street or hang in a park smoking or drinking. Phone addiction is far more visible.

I'm a software and embedded systems engineer with interdisciplinary expertise in firmware, hardware, IoT, and machine learning. Seeking innovative roles in low-power remote applications, HPC, robotics, and the like. Recent experience is in architecting edge AI solutions, VLSI design for test, and memory controller firmware development.

I'm passionate about modular analog synthesis, 3D-printing, tinkering with all sorts of hardware, and demoscene code golfing. Aiming for a learning-forward open-minded environment where I can collaborate to advance the integration of embedded systems and AI.

I thing the wording already implied perception as opposed to reality.

One thing that puzzles me is those people who shudder at comparing Stalin's murderous spree with what Hitler's effects were. Is it the cognitive dissonance of not wanting to believe that we not only allied with a genocidal dictatorship but heavily supplied them with industrial output during the war? My family lived in the USSR and I can say for a fact - knowing it was the NKVD rather than Gestapo that might knock on the door in the middle of the night to disappear your father or uncle was of little consolation.

Likewise joints that are repairing need to be utilized just enough so that blood and lymph circulation can bring nutrients and repair materials while carrying away by-products of repair thereby not letting it concentrate through sedentariness.
datameta··on Signs of two gases in clouds of Venus could indicate life, scientists say
“Our findings suggest that when the atmosphere is bathed in sunlight the phosphine is destroyed,” Clements said. “All that we can say is that phosphine is there. We don’t know what’s producing it. It may be chemistry that we don’t understand. Or possibly life.”

Either way, the discovery of the source or mechanism should prove highly illuminating to the study of exobiology. Pretty exciting, imo.

Arguably, all you need to do is look at GDP. Even looking at Germany, the east/west split is evident - and that was 45 years of soviet regime.

Furthermore are you saying that behavior in Thailand is acceptable? What is the point of mentioning it otherwise? Before I found out these allegations I unfortunately watched videos of him in South America as well as India. He walks around like a Belgian in 19th century colonial Congo.

Language which implies colonial status through historical insinuation when referencing a sovereign nation.

Precisely, and doubly so for the glide bombs.
datameta··on How Sticky Is It Outside?
Valid points. From my perspective the human body understands a high dry-bulb environment being dangerous. I think people in high wet-bulb temperature zones are at highest risk because it is tough to estimate exposure - especially with excessive heat waves happening more.

datameta··on Wing-slapping: A defensive behavior by honey bees against ants
You responded to a late 2000s meme, I believe.
datameta··on How Sticky Is It Outside?
"For instance, a day with a high dry-bulb temperature and low humidity levels could have the same wet-bulb temperature reading as a day with a lower dry-bulb temperature and higher humidity levels. But physiological studies have shown the former presents a greater risk of heat stroke because under such conditions, the human body can’t sweat enough to maintain a thermal equilibrium."

Should it not state latter instead of former? Also this is a bit nitpicky on my part but the problem is with released sweat not evaporating, not insufficient production of it.

The Shahed style drones are cheap, but the ballistic and cruise missiles hitting Kyiv and Odesa certainly are not.

Using "the" affirms it as "this one particular borderland (of Russia)" instead of the name of a specific country. I misused the word "translation". Not sure if transliteration is more apt.

He takes advantage of lower socioeconomic status women in poor countries with uneven gender dynamics and makes a jokey travel vlog in between. He has also given the classic "it's basically their fault" argument.

The Ukraine is a translation of Imperial Russia's name for the country. Whereas Ukraine is the self-selected name for the Sovereign Nation.

Fyi: Including "the" changes the meaning - it alludes to imperial language aking to calling the nation The Periphery.

"I’ve heard various estimates from the Ukrainians themselves that any given drone typically has a life span of about four weeks."

Maybe if referring to the Mavic scouts or bombers... Because the FPVs and Cessna-based drones have a lifetime based on mission duration. They have an outsized impact, however. I also must say that expensive gear from Anduuril is a drop in the bucket compared to homegrown sea and air drone assets. It has become a diy drone war through and through. Nothing like 2022.

datameta··on Mice live longer when inflammation-boosting protein is blocked
I forgot to add, some have higher genetic predisposition for an autoimmune disorder, and diet/environment/lifestyle can switch those gene sections on.
datameta··on Mice live longer when inflammation-boosting protein is blocked
My hunch feels validated. I think it highly depends on area affected because vasoconstriction decreases limphatic throughbout as well as bloodflow. Still highly case-by-case but I think lowering inflammation in load bearing or complex joints like knees or ankles is conducive to nominal operation and therefore healing. (100% rest not recommended, as repair byproducts accumulate and don't clear away, and decreases bloodflow rsults in lower delivery of nutrients, building blocks of tissue, etc.
