Has anyone tried to run it on a Jetson Orin AGX with 64GB unified memory?

Communication formats should not be patentable. The potential for lock in abuse is too high.

"Flawless victory" is becoming sillier every day.

It's called Operation Epic Fuckup for a reason.

Operation Epic Fail.

Operation Epstein Fury

Yep. It's just a lie.

Getting shot down shows... extreme capability? HOW?

Iran had one of the largest and most extensive integrated air defense networks in the world. US has been bombing Iran from day 0 of this war. Those are the air losses they took.

Being able to counter air defenses to this degree and operate with this level of impunity is a major SEAD/DEAD win.


Does it run Linux?

No, missing a MMU.

There is μClinux [1] although it is not clear to me how much alive is the project

I wish I could run DiscoBSD/RetroBSD [2] on an ESP32, I like the idea of running on a MCU something that was originally meant for a PDP/11 (2.11 BSD)

you can run linux on riscv without an MMU. There is mainline support for Kendryte K210 chip, so it should be possible port to this chip provided you have enough PSRAM.

why would you do that? (unless for the fun of it)

Just to get an idea of its capabilities.

Imagine installing Claude Code in it with full root access. Just by asking a few things, you can have a semi-broken ESP32 doing stuff.

> Because as it is right now, powering a fleet of those with USB power supplies is annoying as fsck…

Therefore, wifi is more convenient than ethernet.

You don't need long cables, just a local power source.


> You don't need long cables, just a local power source

Which means batteries that have to be replaced and maintained or cables... So ethernet with PoE or even better SPE (single pair Ethernet) with PoDL (power over data lines which is PoE for SPE) is the best from my point of view


Well, yes, but then you need to be "in range" of PoE switch and drag the ethernet cable from it vs the nearby socket. Still, nice to have options

I mean, if I just look at my house. There is just one ethernet outlet, but many power sockets. If I want to connect devices all over my house, the best way is to use wifi and usb power adapters. Not ethernet.

Both solutions require 1 cable per device, but the first solution would require only short and thin cables, and the second solution would require very long cables which I don't know even how to do properly without milling my walls.


Yep. Mains electricity is ubiquitous, highly interoperable, very reliable, very high power available per drop, can be outdoor capable, common standards, understandable by users, requiring no active components, with many on-call experts available who can come to fix problems or extend/alter connectivity. Mains power wall plates with inbuilt USB power outlets are even available at quite small cost if the look of the bigger plug and wiring is not appealing.

PoE is much fewer of those things. Difficult to recommend it these days with wifi being fast and reliable and so widely used. Certainly not for average residential user.


That's half the equation. The other half is the reliability and security of wifi, which is less than that of ethernet for people without physical access to my wall innards

On the other hand, _all_ the WiFi devices that I had at some point fell off the network, at least once. Including doorbells and cameras. While PoE devices just work.

Another point is that mains power in my area can go down periodically. My PoE switch is powered by a Li-Ion UPS and can provide power for about a day.


Esp32 's wifi is only 2.4ghz though.

Redundancy is a thing in aerospace engineering.

Something tells me this ain't the kind of redundancy aerospace engeneering really needs

> separation of solid and liquid excreta

this invention might be of use in livestock farming.


Livestock farmers have been doing this for decades. However they have very different constraints. It doesn't matter if a little of one gets mixed with the other - in fact they need enough water in the solids for proper decomposition. Both are normally pumped as well, so the solids are generally expected to be more a viscous liquid than actual solids. They don't want too much water in some stages, but they have plenty of room for a large setteling tank (read gravity works for them). They are also dealing with far more waste than a space mission, so they need something that is efficient/cheap at quantity.

GP is saying that was previously required, not that it was invented. The new one can handle the mixture; not necessarily (presumably not?) by separating it.

Looks like they are selling GLP-1 prescriptions online, with online consultations.

This is borderline illegal.


Seems like that’s basically what entrepreneurship is now

Isn't it capitalism? Adobe fucks you, Microsoft will "upgrade" your Office^W Copilot 365 license to 25-seats(1) if you don't notice, Tesla promises self-driving but drives you into the back of the trucks (what, you didn't read the disclaimer?), even the "leader of the free world" is now a crypto-huckster selling you bibles with his name on it... and is killing civilians in the Middle East and making profit by saying "Oh I'll stop soon!".

Not capitalism in the way many of us capitalists think it should be practiced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_of_Moral_Sentiments

Isn't this the same no true scotsman argument as "true communism, as Marx envisioned, has never been put to practice"?

Absolutely.

The beauty of capitalism is that you can just not use Adobe, Microsoft or drive Tesla. Blaming Trump on capitalism is also quite a stretch.

So the beauty of capitalism is billion dollar companies are free to try to scam you, because you're also free to avoid them?

Maybe I should just stand on the street and be a 3-card-monty...


at least the 3-card Monty guy is dealing with you one on one. These companies hire lobbyist to make the illegal, immoral sh*t legal. Easy to keep winning the game when you write the rules.

Eliminating capitalism will not eliminate people trying to scam you or take advantage of you.

Dude go touch some grass

This was the same criticism levied against AirBnB, Uber, cryptocurrency, prediction markets, sports betting apps, etc.

The border of legal and illegal is a good place to make money and change.


Yes doing illegal things and getting away with it is a great way to make money.

Some laws represent moral truths and some laws represent the attempt of a prior generation's upper class to protect that wealth.

The willingess to break a bad law is a sign of a good person.


Yeah illegally running a cab is basically the same thing as being Rosa Parks.

Correct. While ride-sharing services aren't perfect, they have significantly reduced rates of service refusals and long-wait times based on race.

By that argument, start a company selling fentanyl because there will be demand for it?

Sorry, but your implied argument is flawed.


You might have to hold my hand on how you got there.

My actual argument was the ride-sharing addressed systemic racism that yellow cab companies did not, that is a good thing.

What net good would fentanyl do to society? If it exists, then yes, sell it. Clean, reliable fentanyl might be a good thing, I don't know.


> hold my hand

The fentanyl using part of society thinks it is great. There you go.


Just because a law is bad doesn't mean breaking it is a good thing. The laws against gambling are bad, but that's because they're too loose, not because they're too strict. Breaking those laws to gamble doesn't make gambling a good thing.

The in person businesses selling them don't do much more thorough consultations in my experience, although at least they try to track your muscle mass and be sure you're not losing too much there.

The whole business model probably just comes down to high demand over supply and traditional primary care doctors not being ready to keep up with prescribing it, though? It's a temporary gap being filled in. I wonder how long it can last.


So it's legal?

A lot of shitty behavior is legal. That doesn't mean that we should accept it if it happens.

Decency exists for a reason.


It has become a bit of a pest in Germany since weed was legalized. Every other method of distribution is either inconvenient, like growing it yourself, or borderline difficult to establish, like the social clubs. Now, you just pay 10 euros, fill out an online form, and receive a prescription. I’m not against legalization, quite the opposite but these empty promises that weed is a "cure" for anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses are dangerous. Advertising it this way without a proper medical examination or proper follow ups is wrong. People are going to get hurt because of it and like this fellow here they started to do other drugs like GLP-1, Viagra and ofc peptides as well.

You said it yourself, people are just paying the 10 euro for the prescription to avoid the hassle of growing themseleves or establishing/becoming part of a social club. It's a loophole that works, I doubt those people actually think that it is curing their illnesses.

Some definitely do believe it’s a cure for their illness.

For sure some do, and for some it really helps (although those people could get medical marijuana even before "legalization"). Speaking anecdotally, all the people I know buying weed from pharmacies just say they have "back pain" or "sleep issues" to get the prescription because it's way easier and quicker to find than any other way.

No, it sounds like you're against legalization.

How so?

They legalized it, but not the "right" way, according to you.

The best way to legalize it would be through licensed vendors. We shouldn’t force people who just want to smoke to jump through hoops or fake an illness. This kind of approach is exactly how you end up with messy laws like in the US, where everything relies on precedent instead of being clearly written into the code. When laws aren't solid, they can be overturned by simply adding an addendum to a medical distribution law and make it unobtainable again rather than repealing the legalization itself. It is the classic conservative playbook (btw we see the CDU pushing for exactly this) and it is definitely not something that should be encouraged. So yes it's definitely not the "right" way.

It seems Nowadays for new businesses, lawsuits, maybe even a stint in prison with a 1 million presidential pardon at the end, is all incorporated into a business cost line, in a VC investment funds planning...

They were already warned by the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-c...


Can you add pinch zoom?

Currently I developed this for desktop browser, so it might not work well on mobile. But I will improve and update it.

You should be able to do pinch zoom support for laptops with a trackpad, too. I think it would be

window.addEventListener('wheel', ... )

Fantastic work!


Ok, I'm on desktop now. And I notice another "issue". When I use my mouse wheel to zoom, the point that my mouse cursor is on is not stationary. This makes it hard to zoom in on e.g. a specific aircraft or landmark.

I can take a look. The current zoom is zooming to screen center. Maybe I should change it to cursor location.

Yes, that will definitely be an improvement.

Updated to version 1.3, now on mobile phone (iOS/Android), it should have better user experience.

At least project it onto a 3D screen.

Can't wait for the hardware. Only a matter of time until someone makes the first 4D game projected to a 3D hologram.
