@freemo It was such an unexpected development. The CFCs were amazing in terms of stability, safety and utility. Finally something that isn't going to go boom, not cause severe reactions and be an excellent solvent among other things.

Turns out that UV Radiation made it eat away at the layer in a remarkable way. That's the story I remember. I don't know how much UV radiation that altitude would typically see but the conversion of Oxygen to Ozone requires a fair amount of energy.

@igelsQTs @e Does he workout all the time?

@thor A mixed feeling of pride and shame. The US wanted to stay out of wars and over a century later we struggle to stay out of wars. The values we held were replaced with fear mongering.

We made a lot of technological advancements, innovations and systems that can be used for more than war.

We made two different fighter jets in the latest generation before other countries could make one.

The new version of the Abrams Tank is confusing as it's allegedly going to use a Wankel design engine like an RX-7 or RX-8.

It feels like it always has.

Norwegian commandos made sure Germany wouldn't develop a nuclear weapon. So don't underestimate what your country can do.

@thendrix Locally it is about who one knows and the one good thing about the DNC is that they don't have the all or nothing system like the GOP.

Both parties aren't capable of being productive. The only consistent thing they accomplish is squashing other parties. The illusion of choice must be upheld.

Watching American Politics is like that.

@thor LiFePO4 is one of those technologies that should have been used a decade ago. Not the same density but a much longer life span and they can output a lot of power without a chemical fire.

@thor That's very odd. It seems like it might be caused by a similar effect as row hammer. It only takes the right charge to cause a flip.

@thor Medical Grade IT is apparently universal. That's not broken, not yet.

@thor Electric cars are good in theory. I've seen some good conversions that were done back in the 80s to regular vehicles. They managed to get around 60 miles per charge with lead acid batteries and rather primitive technology.

I used to like the idea of EVs but I don't like them now. Something about polluting the environment with heavy metals and using all that energy to make batteries that don't have a long life span or thermal stability. It's disturbing how bad they are and no one cares.

@thor Leaks and poor memory management. Something isn't being handled correctly.

The best remedy is to just reboot. It sounds easy enough to fix but I keep being surprised by how bad code can be.

@thendrix These are Nuwaubian Nation I'm fairly certain. They have the same conspiracy theories as the white devils around them. It's fascinating.

@thendrix There's a larger group below where I live but they are quite different. A Black Supremacist group with some odd beliefs. They are friendly but secretive. It's a compound but they don't cause any trouble. I think they get along well with the Klan too. The south is weird but it's all I know.

So the Architectures of the last 4 supercomputers might be surprising.

x86-64 with Radeon
Arm and something else.
Power9 (2 Processors paired with 4 Tesla GPUs)
Sunway

PowerPC is not dead and Sunway is believed to be most closely related to DEC but that's a stretch.

PowerPC, OpenSPARC and other open RISC designs aren't going away anytime soon.

@igelsQTs I think MIT Mathematicians refused to use anything else. They had 3 chalk boards that were on like an ellipse shaped track so they could have 2 stacked at once. There were like 4 of these systems in a classroom.

Mathematicians hate the white boards and I feel the pain. White boards lose the ability to erase overtime. Chalkboards just needed to be cleaned.

I've seen like 3 generations of the markers. The solvents used in the early generations were somewhat close to drug precursors lol. It's all rather impressive but it begs the question of why. Chalk can go back into the environment, the weird film pigment is probably not that good.

@PawelK I remember it because I refused to buy a Raspberry Pi. I eventually got a Beaglebone Black after a Banana Pi. I've seen the OMAP processors pop up in so many different places. It was a good little processor.

Parrot the quadcopter maker used the OMAP SoCs on the quadcopters. With the comparatively massive amount of DSPs on the OMAP, it was built for more than others.

It would have been easier to develop on a microkernel if I didn't pick four of them. My relationship problems in the past too.

@igelsQTs I miss chalkboards.

@ThatCrazyDude That just sounds like a Ukrainian. Survive your tank being destroyed and make early designs of a new type of rifle while recovering in a field hospital. Its daughters are better shots than Russian soldiers.

Russia shouldn't have invaded STALKER territory.
