And I think this is where politics around the world has gone wrong.
A decade or two ago I would genuinely have been happy for the leader of a country, or mayor or whatever elected leader to date my sister or to watch my kids or something like that.
These days it feels like the most narcissistic a-holes get voted in. I wouldn't trust these people with my dog, and basically every country is suffering for it.
(Jacinda Ardern being the massive exception. I'm sure there are more exceptions too)
Yesterday I watched an episode of a tv-show here in Norway ("A-laget") where people with severe autism, downs and similar interviews famous people. This episode was them interviewing our prime minister. And he was honestly so sweet, even when they asked questions with no filters. He also visited a ski-podcast I listen to, and there as well he came across as a very likeable guy.
I don't vote for him, but I honestly think he's a good person. I hope we avoid getting the same kind of rhetoric and harshness when we have our election next year, that we've seen in recent years in other countries.
Dr. Casey: “It means, Mrs. Carter, your husband, President Carter, has become [camera zooms in on Dr. Casey] the amazing colossal president.”
Mrs. Carter: “Well, how big is he?”
Dr. Casey: “Well, Mrs. Carter, it’s difficult to comprehend just how big he is but to give you some idea, we’ve asked comedian Rodney Dangerfield to come along today to help explain it to you. Rodney?”
[Rodney Dangerfield enters]
Rodney: “How do you do, how are you?”
Denton: “Rodney, can you please tell us, how big is the president?”
Rodney: “Oh, he’s a big guy, I’ll tell you that, he’s a big guy. I tell you, he’s so big, I saw him sitting in the George Washington Bridge dangling his feet in the water! He’s a big guy!”
Mrs. Carter: “Oh my God! Jimmy! Oh God!”
Rodney: “Oh, he’s big, I’ll tell you that, boy. He’s so big that when two girls make love to him at the same time, they never meet each other! He’s a big guy, I’ll tell you!”
Mrs. Carter: “Oh no! Oh Jimmy! My Jimmy!”
Rodney: “I don’t want to upset you, lady, he’s big, you know what I mean? Why, he could have an affair with the Lincoln Tunnel! I mean, he’s really high! He’s big, I’ll tell you! He’s a big guy!”
Mrs. Carter: “No! No! No!”
Denton: “Rodney, thank you very much. You can go.”
Rodney: “It’s my pleasure. He’s way up there, lady! You know what I mean?”

>Lillian Carter: Jimmy.. Jimmy.. I’ve come to talk to you about your brother.
>President Jimmy Carter: Oh, Mama. Let’s not talk about Billy now.
>Lillian Carter: Ohhh.. Jimmy, you’ve gotta remember that it hasn’t been easy for Billy. You were the oldest and the favorite – you got the wagon, he got the cardboard box; you got the bicycle, he got the cardboard box; you got the brains, he got the cardboard box.
If this was a legit study I'd expect an arXiv link or similar instead. Looking at their methodology, it's vague enough to be interpreted as 'ok' but really I'd expect ALOT more information on their sample distributions, weighting done to that sample for comparison, etc. It skimps on all the actual details. Seems like clickbaity junk to me, but I'm open to the idea that there is meaningful studies to be had here on this subject, or that this was done in a proper way but was communicated poorly.
Reviews.org surveyed 1,000 Americans 18 years and older with a +/- 4% margin of error and a confidence level of 95%. The survey results were weighted to reflect characteristics of the United States population using available data from the US census. Respondents were asked to refer to their phone’s screen time report to determine the average number of times per day they check their phones, in addition to how much time in total they spend on their phones per day.
I've found it to be helpful in getting quicker information out of some 'review' style videos, where I can ask a few pointed questions and get answers faster than the narrator can get to that info. I hadn't found it to be wrong in my few attempts with it, but ymmv
I've seen this come up here and elsewhere before, always very cool! I always wonder who's actually using it for production workloads, in what context, etc.
It feels like so much of the world focuses on docker images that alternatives are pretty hard to get going.
I’m sure there are others, but as mentioned elsewhere in this thread ESP32 or NRF70 could take care of this for a lot less (off of bare metal or RTOS if you just need WiFi and Camera.)
Watching the stream now, they indicate that there's no active payloads on the side facing the moon, but there are some obstructed antennas. It's not quite clear how much that impacts communication but they also indicated that they have good comm and things seem stable.
I think one of my favorite stories about him is that he helped resolve a nuclear reactor meltdown
