I’m not sure what you mean by “proper” image stabilisation, but they certainly have at least so.me optical stabilisation. The lens slides around. If you turn it on and look at the camera while tilting it, you can see it move a bit inside the cover. It’s minor movement and was much more obvious when I had the outer lens off, but it’s a tiny camera. From experience with how it tracks objects when zoomed, I beleive it also slides around the active pixel region for digital stabilisation, if you will.

Zoom is better than what it used to be and not outright a lie. I still have a dual camera phone (pixel 7, standard camera and superwide), and the picture is reasonable at 2.5x. It’s a 50mp sensor that, by default, only takes ~16mp pictures by only using certain sensor cells. Zooming uses a tighter group of those cells while still making a 16mp picture. But yes, zoomed pictures absolutely lose quality as the cropping starts hitting the limits of a tiny piece of do-all glass. My phone goes to 8x. Meanwhile, the flagship phones with an additional mild-zoom cameras bump up the baseline further. Still, only equivalent to like 40-50mm on a DSLR full frame sensor. Not enough for me, not for the price, so I still lug my DSLR around occasionally, as my eye tends to prefer framing with my phone above 3x - or about 50-85mm on a crop sensor.

The people that’d pay a premium for vanity just don’t get solar panels. The only people I could see going for this are tech bros. There’s lots of huge houses in my area that have regular solar panels. There’s lots of homebuyers here that don’t want to see panels or don’t want panels at all. And then there’s desparate people signing predatory solar panel leases. These tiles don’t fit it anywhere near me. I guess an alternate category would be people who must use a visible roof panel to get decent solar production, but plan to sell in a relatively short term. But still, their best option is inaction, not expensive solar. Especially if your electric supplier caps your output.

Neat. The thumbnail seems to update, too. The card view was different than the thread header. Almost feels unreal to see the cloud flow because I haven’t seen such an image set before.

My android shows a history of notifications. Not sure what the retention period is. It does add conveniece by allowing me to check dismissed notifications. It allows some monitoring about the type, content, and frequency of notifications as well as control to block them.

It certainly now appears the convenience isn’t worth the loss of privacy, though.

I can’t believe this product, modeled after humans, would lie and cheat like humans

I’m thinking it’s about consistency. 10kts 10% of the time vs average 150kts 100% of the time (the math is a little off but we’re in hypothetical estimates already)

I feel like we’re the only ones that expect “all-knowing information sources” should be more writing seriously than these edgelord-level rizzy chatbots are, and yet, here they are, blatantly proving they are chatbots that should not be blindly trusted as authoritative sources of knowledge.

It’s fine to highlight it’s correlation, but your guess is a theory of causation. It’s likely either some genetic combo that drives the desire for coffee or some lifestyle arrangement that drives the need.

Even the idea that an inactive mind leads to deterioration isn’t definitively causation. Correlation goes both ways. Are they mentally healthy because they’re mentally active? Or are they mentally active because they’re mentally healthy? The degree of mental deterioration goes up as you age, which is also when you can retire, when you don’t have to support your family, when you’re physically incapacitated, and when you slow down overall. So yeah, I plan to stay active because I’ll take my chances that it helps, but at some point, something will simply break. Maybe I’ll inherit the dimentia. Maybe I’ll inherit the neuropathy. Maybe both. Maybe neither.

I’m tired, remember?

The thumbnail is a picture of me, after work, doom scrolling, to deenergized to do anything else. My go-to is coffee as a pick me up. Then, 15 minutes later, the thumbnail is a picture of me, doom scrolling, but now on the toilet. I hate it here

Agreed. It’s 1/100 with old panels at 1/300 with modern high performance panels, being up to 300w/m.

Edit: solar radiation is only 1.3kw/m2

They were, factually, Indian. It says something about the exploitation of poorer labor to impress some San Franciscans with fraudulent tech

Map the physical area to a scale. Map the scale to the rainbow. Make chords a 2D representation of sound space. Make palm mutes drain the color. Make squealies vibrate the array. GIVE ME THE MUSIC VISUALIZER IN MY HANDS (and a blunt)

Yes, yes, this art is nice, but you know what it needs? Lights

Not /s

Same, especially because I’m a frequent sky-looker but have to prepare any ride-along that all we’re going to see by eye is pale fuzzy blobs. All my camera is going to show you tonight is pale sprindly clouds. I think it’s neat as hell I can use some $150 binoculars to find interstellar objects, but many people are bored by the lack of Hubble-quality sights on tap. Like… Yes, and then sent a telescope to space in order to get those images.

That being said, I once had the opportunity to see the Orion nebula through a ~30" reflector at an Observatory, and damn. I got to eyeball about what my camera can do in a single frame with perfect tracking and settings.

unfortunately, the study included information about intensity of night time light but did not included information about the sources of light

So I guess it’s user-interpreted intensity

For heart attack, for example, compared with those in the darkest 50th percentile, those who experienced some nighttime light — in the 51st to 70th percentile — had a 20 percent increased risk of heart attack.

Those who experienced more light, in the 71st to 90th percentile, had a 27 percent increased risk.

And those who experienced the most nighttime light, in the 91st to 100th percentile, had a 47 percent higher risk.

At what mental cost?

Correct. But even here at our orbit, the sun is still hot, damn hot. The sunny side of the moon peaks at 250F since there’s no atmosphere to dampen the effect. Medium earth orbit is probably enough to get them roasted
