  • I don’t know much at all about the EV industry, especially how their technology differs between manufacturers. But does that really matter, strictly speaking? Like the majority of “other” repairs are going to be just as uniform as traditional vehicles; things like tire changes, brakes, suspension, and whatever else I’m not smart enough to know about.

    Other than the actual engine itself, can that other stuff really be fully proprietary, or non-servicable?

    EDIT: I’m realizing that I didn’t really clarify the distinction of “should” vs “does”. I recognize that a huge amount of right to repair bullshit comes from companies being intentionally obtuse/greedy. What I meant to question was whether these restrictions on serviceability actually have merit, or if it’s strictly enshittification being brought into the auto world.




  • The DNS system is still just computers/servers, so anything from overloading a server to outright man-in-the-middle type attacks can compromise the DNS (though this is where you’d get into how the DNS communicates, propagates, and distributes trust, which is a topic that I have little knowledge on)





  • Hyperthymesia seems to be more autobiographical, rather than a total recall of memory.

    That wiki page goes on to explain an example of someone who could perfectly remember a specific day in their past, but were unable to recall what their interviewers were wearing after spending a day with them.




  • There’s no reason that guilt would be absent from helpinghelp a specific person in need (like your struggling mother example). Plenty of people feel guilty taking handouts and will outright refuse help when they might need it.

    As for the drive thru thing, I think you might be talking about something different than what I’ve seen/done, which is just paying for your own meal and the people behind you. There isn’t any expectation for them to continue some chain, and in many ways it’s a bit of an empty gesture (they are just taking that first person’s goodwill and passing it to the next in line).

    My interpretation of paying it forward is the premise of receiving something when you’re in need, then, when you’re able, to give something back. Not to the one who helped you, as that would be repaying a debt.



  • When you talk about a sample, what does that actually mean? Like I recognize that the frequency of oscillations will tell me the pitch of something, but how does that actually translate to a chunk of data that is useful?

    You mention a sample being stored as a number, which makes sense, but how is that number utilized? Again assuming uncompressed, if my sample “value” comes up as 420, does that include all of the necessary components of that sound bite in a 1/44100th of a second? How would a sample at value 421 compare? Is this like a RGB type situation where you’d have multiple values corresponding to different attributes of the sample (amplitude, frequencies, and I’m sure other things)? Is a single sample actually intelligible in isolation?
