Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I need to do a lot more with my LoRA gear! last time I played with it, it was still frustratingly too impenetrable for my friends to pick up, but I had a lot of fun building a setup that’d work over a couple miles of obstructed terrain

I do want to find myself a UV-KR after what I saw recently… (yes, not a -5R, a KR)

huh, what’s cool about the KR specifically? a quick search didn’t turn anything up for me, but I’m always on the lookout for an inexpensive radio to play with. I love that I can basically hand off a Baofeng or an RTL-SDR off to a friend and they can get rolling on whatever we’re doing that needs radio

ah sorry typo (well, misremembered), "UV-K5": https://spectrum.ieee.org/quansheng-uv-k5-hacking

oh dear, you might have just replaced my baofeng
