If it can interfere with large aperture ground telescopes.. it would be a shame if those ground telescopes grew transmitters and started interfering back.

Til. I thought switches would decrement ttl but that makes perfect sense.

ttl=255

I think the confusing part is that the rule is presented without the problem it solves.

The problem is when you take two vectors in 3d and want to find the vector orthogonal (perpendicular) to both, you have 2 valid choices.

The right hand rule is a way to pick the same one every time if you always label the two vectors you start with consistently i.e. make your thumb vector 1, pointer vector 2, then your middle finger points the direction of a perpendicular vector that matches the handedness of the hand you used.

This matters anywhere a vector cross product is used in physics, like calculating what direction an electron feels force when moving through a magnetic field. The physics doesn't change, but you'll have negatives in different places when comparing results calculated with a right handed convention (coordinate system) with a left handed convention.

When checking the handedness of your coordinate system, you point your thumb and pointer finger in the positive direction of any two dimensions then check if your middle finger points in the positive direction of the third dimension.

We're not watching the movie, we're listening to the download 🌚🌝

Oof glad I don't have to do that anymore. My car on the other hand... 😐 It's probably due

Imho no amount of paywall or legislation protects us from a dangerous model. It's software that will eventually become widely available.

I thought the problem was that fracking produces oil, which is processed and burnt for energy ultimately releasing excess carbon? Idk it's been a while since I've caught up with climate science :/

Ya we need the spicy deets

None of the doom and gloom really matters, every human in history has lived in a time of crisis. How we handle the challenges at hand determine the challenges for those that follow, but panicking about it is a waste of energy.

I enjoy red hat's paid support articles that end by saying this is untested and may not work but it was added to the knowledge base 10 years ago

As much as the hacker in me would love to do this, I sincerely hope ideas (posts... not ideas really) like this don't become fodder for the paranoia propaganda machine driving MAGA.
