With Rossman having announced a bounty on jailbreaking the Echelon equipment, I suspect that the equipment will be de-bricked in a matter of days. With the equipment unlocked, it could be transformed from a useless pile of scrap into a highly sought after piece of hardware, with better software than the original OEM software. Matt Brown will probably have a video showing how to extract and alter the firmware. These machines will soon be showing up at GoodWill store locations across the US.

So, ChatGPT is indistinguishable from a human. A human with severe dementia and having a stroke while tripping on good drugs.

What an excellent article... It reminded me of the story of the emperor's new clothes, in that everyone associated with marketing had a vested interest in ignoring reality. The difference is that in the story, eventually everyone realized that the emperor had no clothes.

D) Cowboy Neil did it in the pool with a pool noodle. Mystery solved!

And just where were the rocket engines supposed to come from for monthly launches? STS is such a waste of money...

I believe it will happen when the Department of Fish and Wildlife stops cock-blocking the approval process for the second integrated flight test of StarShip.

You'd be better served by a Chart of Nuclides, which shows details of the expected resultant daughter products for various nuclear interactions. Very useful chart.

Serve the people... with a nice Chianti and a side of fava beans...

Here you go... https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/uni... It runs a Debian derivative, powered from 802.3af POE or a Micro USB port, and includes a MicroSD slot for expandability. It's an awesome headless server for low power applications.

Currently I have a classic AOL free CD nestled under my coffee cup, protecting the table surface. For extra protection against liquids, I cover the center hole with scotch tape.

I wish I had mod points to give you. Excellent first post!

When people have questions about tax law, they ask an accountant. They don't ask the clerk at the checkout stand of the local supermarket. Yet when it comes to nuclear power, people will accept the opinions of folks who are totally unqualified to have any sort of opinion other than hearsay. I spent over 10 years as a qualified reactor operator, with thousands of hours of panel time. I've got more time at the controls of a nuclear power plant than most senior commercial pilots have flying. I've been an instructor at a prototype nuclear power plant, teaching trainee operators how to do the job.

So yes, on the topic of nuclear safety I have an opinion. But my opinion is based on operational experience and training rather than hearsay. Unfortunately Mdsolar and his ilk vehemently express their opinions to a wide audience (sort of like the vaccine haters).
