  • So there’s some data its concatenating from some lists and running some checks on. If one if the checks succeeds it runs a function called clearInfo, I don’t know js so idk if that’s a built-in or if they defined it elsewhere in the script. If that check fails it runs clearInterval. This is all wrapped in a function called setInterval, and it looks like if all the checks succeed and the interpreter isn’t moved to a different section of code by those functions called earlier then it will set whatever this interval is to 10000, presumably milliseconds. That’s the big block in the middle.

    The top block calls some code referencing a document, which appears to be stored as a list, index 12 is referenced and another obfuscated argument is applied to it.

    The bottom block appears to be defining a function that will interact with the document referenced above. Calling the function showInfo and presumably concatenating and formatting some data into a pretty output for a user to get info regarding the document being referenced.

    Someone who actually knows js could probably tell you more, I know python and c++ and this looks kinda like python but the syntax is a bit different so I could be way off




  • We don’t have flying cars because people are fucking dumb, and because the viable options are loud as hell.

    We absolutely have the technology, and if there were a drive to make it affordable there would be more significant research into doing so.

    To do a flying car, you need to simulate friction in the air, with significant enough force to prevent colision, while also maintaining low enough noise pollution to be acceptable to the average citizens. This second part is why we don’t have Personal helicopters, despite aircraft being relatively affordable (in my cursory search I found two Helicopters less than 200K, one barely more than 100k, if there were significant drive to make them mainstream for the public they’d presumably be much cheaper, benefitting from economies of scale.)

    Additionally, how do we as a society handle ATC for flying cars? Emergency stops? Impromptu repairs? Birds in the props‽

    I’m not trying to naysay the retrofuturistic image we all want for the world. I am saying it probably shouldn’t include flying cars. Especially if they’re just Personal quadcopters.



  • I’ve actually got a speeduino conversion on the agenda, but the car needs a full plumb in place rewire first. Its been through like 6 owners before me, one of which let it get infested with rats so a ton of the wiring had been replaced (notice I didn’t say repaired, or fixed)

    The thing is a mess under the hood, I’m planning to run conduits with access loops every few feet to keep the wiring nice and clean. The end goal is California Ready but tbh I don’t expect it to ever meet emissions requirements that strict with a carb instead of EFI. I guess since I’ll be doing a speeduino conversion it wouldn’t be that much more work yo convert to EFI, or at least mod a turbo blowby hat to accept a diesel atomizer with which to jury rig a carb into a carbuer-efi hybrid.

    Idk, I’m spitballing at this point.









  • Hey look the markov chain showed its biggest weakness (the markov chain)!

    In the training data, it could be assumed by output that Connecticut usually follows Colorado in lists of two or more states containing Colorado. There is no other reason for this to occur as far as I know.

    Markov Chain based LLMs (I think thats all of them?) are dice-roll systems constrained to probability maps.

    Edit: just to add because I don’t want anyone crawling up my butt about the oversimplification. Yes. I know. That’s not how they work. But when simplified to words so simple a child could understand them, its pretty close.


  • How old is this hardware you’re installing on? I’ve had similar issues on my last install using a totally cursed lvm setup involving 3 HDDs, 2 SSDs, and an SD card that was apparently not up to the task.

    Once the SD card went bad any time I’d try to access it my filesystem would fail and I’d have to fsck after a reboot. Couldn’t take the SD card out of the array though, it was full too the brim so I didn’t have the knowledge needed to remove it correctly. Ended up just nuking the system and restoring from backup without the SD card involved.

    Anyway the download issue might be worth following up on.
