Wrong community for AI slop.

I looked into that and the only question I really have is how geographically distributed the samples were. Other than that, It was an oversampled study, so <50% of the people were the control, of sorts. I don’t fully understand how the sampling worked, but there is a substantial chart at the bottom of the study that shows the full distribution of responses. Even with under 1000 people, it seems legit.

There is a place for that. It’s called 4chan.

In this study, we conducted a survey (n = 742) including a representative U.S. sample and an oversample of gender minorities, racial minorities, and disabled individuals to examine how demographic factors shape AI attitudes.

tankiejerk is also acceptable.

I have been using 6ghz for about a year or so now and I found it to be quite fast. MLO can be super weird sometimes and seems to get confused, but it works. (It’s probably just a driver I haven’t updated.)

Yes. I was able to fake being Irish for a bit to a group of English folk. (It was just an alcohol induced joke at the time, s’all. They were either a few pints in or I did really well. Dunno.)

People are just people and there is probably a word or phrase for “gullible” in most languages.

The Internet would be great if it wasn’t for all the other computers attached to it.

Effort vs Reward vs Ability vs Inital investment

In most cases, think of this kind of thing like a legitimate business. Same concepts. I’ll grade a few scenarios based on what I have seen over the last 20 or so years. (The ratings are arbitrary and just trying to explain my point.)

Do you have the means to rent a botnet and phish a few million people for lots of credit card numbers? Can you manage that kind of data, test all those numbers and maybe end up just selling that data? Low Risk/Moderate Reward (“Selling shovels” analogy is probably a better scheme than actually renting the botnet, IMHO)

Could you setup a “call center” in India and run a scam ring like an 8-5 business? Are there enough people you can hire to do this work? That requires training, infrastructure and time. You also may need to “work with” law enforcement to ensure your scam isn’t busted by legitimate cops. Moderate Risk/Moderate Reward.

Are you part of a small group with an insane amount of skill that has the time to pull off an extortion scheme against a Fortune 500 company for a few million bucks? High risk/High reward

Those are all normal scenarios above and it’s based on profitability and initial investment. Risk/Reward is always a balance.

(Sorry. I pulled a “wHellll aKshUallY” when you said it’s not worth the time for the small targets.)

There seems to hundreds of studies on that and there seems to be a fairly uniform “Yes” and “More than you would guess”, etc.

Here is one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/ADR-220062

It’s all about presentation, my friend. If we are going to make our millions off of this product before it starts to roll off of people’s TikTok feeds, we need to move quick.

If we repackage PVA into a sales point for preschool nostalgia, we got it made.

Polyvinyl acetate would probably give a better texture and has been kid approved for decades.

Still, I am super curious to see if actual gelatin would work, so thanks for computing the ratios for a (theoretically) stable product.

If a solution for the bean-to-glue ratio can be found, I am also fine with that.

This seems to be from the TikToks, so no. Not real.

One of these things is not like the other…

It’s the guy pointing at something completely random.

B is for Buy n Large (and billionaire) your very best friend.

Budget time for sleep. Period. It might take a bit of strength to commit to that based on whatever situation you are in, but it just takes practice.

I have been in situations where I was absolutely forced to be awake for about 5’ish days but nothing else in my life after that ever forced that requirement. All-nighters were always a decision I made willingly and they never really worked out well for productivity.

Still, I am a shitty sleeper and at this very moment, I only have time to finish this comment and get about 4 hours sleep in a strange hotel before I need to wake up for work. However, I am older now and less sleep seems to be the norm for my body.

Managing being exhausted is a personal thing. Aside from drinking more water or coffee, I don’t think there are going to be many suggestions that will really help more than that.

Maybe? I keep getting “Rule 1” and “Rule 2” errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Thanks for the pic! That helps visualize the situation for me. Unfortunately, I can’t be much more of a help.

Getting a sense of how hot to get everything with air is a dark art. I can only say that it’s needs to be below the solder melting point and too hot to touch any part of the component.

On top of the shield sinking heat, the board is likely using silver-based solder, which also requires high heat. (Flux would have a dual role in cleaning the area and also flowing some heat around the solder joint a hair more efficiently.)

If it were my equipment, I would YOLO the iron temps and experiment with contact timing to get the factory solder melted enough to flow in some lead/tin solder. My tolerance for damaging my own stuff is super high though. (Brute-forcing as much heat on a small area before it gets the chance to dissipate is the logic here.)

Practice makes perfect. If you have an old wifi/Bluetooth device you can risk destroying, it might have shields you can practice removing or soldering around. (Noise sensitive audio components are something else that might use shields as well.)
