Haha, no idea if there was ever an association between the two, possible but not likely lol.

It’s a fascinating book. I look at it with heavy skepticism but at the end I think there are some accusations that could be plausible and likely do occur, not so much for others. We now have seen evidence of certain fungal networks aiding root systems and establishing a level of very primitive communication, which also has its own critics as well Mycorrhizal network. So back to the book, i think some of the testing done in the 60s and 70s was more abstract art than evidence based science, but ultimately it does lead you to question whether the statements and findings could be true. Either way I found it a fascinating read, especially for someone that enjoys getting their hands dirty in the earth.

So many, but this one has always fascinated me.

The Secret Life of Plants (1973)

It is, i also use the gemma4b model on it for description generation for my immich photos and its super fast.

I think some people just don’t like talking or boasting about their setups for security reasons 🤷‍♂️

if its on zfs, you can do zfs snapshots using send and receive, which can handle encrypted incremental snapshots which cuts down on bandwidth and without having the remote drive mounted, which I found useful for an offsite system in case someone picks it up and walks away with it. There are also automated tools to handle it too if you don’t want to write your own backup scripts, see sanoid/syncoid

Yah doing similar on 5060ti.

Yah but none of those have the showboating sales man named elon musk behind them lol #sarcasm

We can only be so lucky. Wild stuff is it not. There is this weird dichotomy where you have to see it for what it is as publicity stunt, but then also realize there are enough stupid people in the world to look at it and go yah I wanna ride in that…just crazy.

Kind of reminds of those matchbox car ramps and loop de loops with a lot of cool smoke to go with it 😂

Yep! Some grant or merger news is likely to drop soon.

Thank you, this is what i was thinking too. Rumor is Tesla gets folded into Spacex at some point.

Yah agreed. Headline is over the top ridiculous. Florida is already working on vtol taxis, yes i know not the same, but discussions with the faa on how to regulate vtol and then have it apply to cars “could” happen. Who knows honestly, this administration is all about moving fast and breaking things.

Skip the traffic with eVTOL flights connecting Palm Beach International Airport(PBI) to West Palm Beach city center. Experience the future of airport transfers with air taxi service.

Well technically that is what a hover craft does in reverse, so that isn’t new.

Yah I’d like to see the engineering side to it and if the thrust is gimbaled or fixed…hard to tell.

Yep, a distraction from the list of other shit that still sucks in the world.

Yah agreed, but he achieved his goal of getting himself and Tesla back in the news cycle…lots of people talking about this today.

😊 Yah never got into the whole microblogging self imposed character restrictions, spent a lot of time on reddit back in the early 2010’s but left before the 2020’s. Now ive found the fedi, lots of cool and unique people here. Feels like home lol. Cheers!

Good question lol, rumor, and its a tall rumor is tesla is to merge with spacex or xai or whatever the space conglomerate company is called.

Yah well good on you for recognizing and adapting to new information. Nazi’s deserve no sympathy.

Agreed, thank you. Same sentiment here.
