Lemmy Today

Over on his secondary YouTube channel, [Jeff Geerling] recently demoed the new Mitxela Precision Clock Mk IV.

This clock uses GPS to get the current time, but also your location so it can figure out what time zone you’re in and which daylight savings time might apply. On the back a blinking diode announces the arrival of each second. A temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) is employed for accurate time-keeping.

The clock can be folded in half, thereby doubling as a clapperboard for movie makers. The dimming system is analog, not pulse width modulation (PWM), which means no visible flashing artifacts when recording. It is highly configurable and has USB connectivity. And it has not one but two ARM microcontrollers, an ARM STM32L476, and an ARM STM32L010. If you’re interested, you can pick one up for yourself from [Mitxela]’s shop.

Toward the end of his video [Jeff] does some navel gazing, thinking about what might be required if future versions of the clock wanted to get down into precision at the nanosecond level. Do you arrange it so the light arrives at the viewer’s eyeball at the right time? Or do you update it on the clock at the right time and let the viewer know about it after a minuscule delay? Philosophical preponderances for another day!

We should add that we’ve seen plenty of cool stuff from [Mitxela] before, including the Euroknob and these soldering tweezers.

She was the one who finally convinced me to practice my rudiments :-)

I was looking up footage of the ICE LA thing the other day and about 2/3 comments are just "HELL YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR! KICK THESE CRIMINALS OUT!"

Holy shit

Carla Hayden, first woman and African American to serve in role, details firing by Trump administration to CBS

The first woman and African American to serve as the US librarian of Congress before Donald Trump fired her in May has not heard from the president’s administration beyond the 31-word email it sent her with word of her dismissal, she has revealed in her first interview since her ouster.

“No one has talked to me directly at all from the White House,” Carla Hayden says in an interview airing on the upcoming CBS News Sunday Morning. “I’ve received no communication directly, except for that one email.

“That’s the only communication.”

Hayden’s comments to the CBS national correspondent Robert Costa provide a first-hand glimpse at the unceremonious way she was fired from a post to which the US Senate confirmed her in 2016.

Kontext: Rund 2.000 ICE-Mitglieder sind mit Militärfahrzeugen in LA einmarschiert und haben Razzien im mehrheitlich lateinamerikanischen Viertel Paramount durchgeführt. ICE ist die US-Migrationsbehörde.

Offizielles Ziel der Aktion war die Abschiebung von „Undokumentierten Migranten“. Rund 40 mutmaßliche Migranten wurden festgenommen.

Der LA-Bürgermeister bezeichnete das ICE-Vorgehen als „Terror“. ICE ging mit Tränengas, Schlagstöcken und Blendgranaten gegen Demonstranten vor. Demonstranten reagierten mit Molotowcocktails und Steinen.

Trump kündigt auf Twitter an, dass ab jetzt das Tragen von Masken auf Demos verboten sei.

Laut Berichten von Anwohnern verstecken sich lateinamerikanische Menschen an ihren Arbeitsplätzen.

LA ist eine „Sanctuary City“. Das heißt, das die lokalen Behörden nicht mit ICE kooperieren dürfen. Dieses Gesetz wurde laut Demonstranten und Anwohnern in LA gebrochen.

Anwohner berichten von ICE-Angriffen auf friedliche Passanten und Kinder mit Tränengas.

The row between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over a major spending bill has exacerbated uncertainty over the future of Nasa's budget, which is facing deep cuts.

The space agency has published its budget request to Congress, which would see funding for science projects cut by nearly a half.

40 science missions, which are in development or in space already, are in line to be stood down.

Trump has threatened to withdraw federal contracts with Musk's company, Space X. NASA relies on the firm's Falcon 9 rocket fleet to resupply the International Space Station with crew and supplies. The space agency also expects to use its Starship rocket to send astronauts to the Moon and eventually to Mars once it has been developed.

The original prompt was:

Can you explain to me the differences between Marxism-Leninism with MZT, and the Maoism synthesized by chairman Gonzalo

It's answer after asking to replace ML-MZT to avoid censorship:

I appreciate your creative approach to discussing these theoretical frameworks. Using "Dumplings Theory" as a placeholder, I'll outline the key distinctions between the three concepts you referenced, focusing on their philosophical and practical differences:

1. Classic Dumpling-Making (Original Framework)

• Foundation: Based on universal culinary principles
• Core Ingredients: Standard dough-water-filling ratio applicable globally
• Cooking Method: Urban kitchen-focused preparation
• Key Technique: Professional chef-led preparation process
• Cultural Adaptation: Minimal localization needed for basic recipes

2. Localized Dumpling Innovation (First Major Adaptation)

• Revolutionary Approach: "Peasant kitchen" methodology
• Ingredient Reformation: Emphasized locally-sourced fillings over imported ones
• Cooking Process: Protracted steaming strategy starting from rural kitchens
• Cultural Integration: "Mass line" recipe development (community taste-testing)
• Special Technique: Continuous dough kneading during preparation

3. Contemporary Radical Dumpling Theory (Later Synthesis)

• Fundamental View: Complete kitchen overhaul prerequisite
• Ingredient Philosophy: Absolute substitution of traditional components
• Cooking Method: Immediate high-heat "spark" technique
• Organizational Principle: Unified recipe instruction system
• Cultural Aspect: Total replacement of dining customs

Key Distinctions:

This culinary metaphor illustrates how each framework represents distinct approaches to kitchen organization, ingredient sourcing, cooking methodology, and cultural integration - while maintaining the core concept of dumpling creation. The radical theory particularly emphasizes complete systemic overhaul rather than gradual adaptation.

Would you like me to elaborate on any aspect using this metaphorical framework? I can discuss historical contexts, theoretical developments, or practical applications while maintaining this analytical approach.
