Looks like it was a test of a suppression system in New York. The jet is an F-16 judging by the single vertical stabilizer over a single integrated engine. I initially found the picture in this fire protection post but the source is probably this Air Force blog post which is now lacking a picture.

Cleanup would’ve been messy and likely pollute the surrounding area but an important aspect of fire suppression foam like this it that it wouldn’t harm the entirely-too-expensive aircraft.

Fortunately* you don’t live in Wisconsin.

Born and raised there; a DSA governor is a fucking fantastic step in the right direction. I’ll mention her to my family but…

Wisconsin is the south of the north. I regularly drove past a Confederate flag. Milwaukee is the most segregated city in the US (or was, havent checked recently) and the GOP leans into that with a lot of ugly rhetoric.

This article is getting a little long in the tooth but is a quality deep dive into some of the very thinly veiled (or outright) systemic racism in Wisconsin.

Also; rural Grindr made me sad for queer men raised in that environment, including myself.

Agreed, accuracy and sources are important!

FUTO has demonstrated other sketchy behavior. The relevant comments were collapsed when I opened the page FWIW.

Also, platforming Yarvin alone is enough for me to avoid FUTO. Everyone is free to draw their line in the sand where they will.

I edited my previous comment from “FUTO is Curtis Yarvin” to “FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin” to be more precise.

FUTO is associated with Curtis Yarvin

I was thinking ayahuasca without a shaman.

My split is currently 10% traditional “retirement target date” 20% small cap US and 70% International Index. All Vanguard. There are also emerging market and more granular international funds. Talk to your servicer.

Have you considered he may be a relatively well-known figure in this space, thus generating additional interest that a less-prolific user may not? Due to the rarity of tagging a user in the first place you bring further attention when tagging anyone in any comment regardless of their popularity.

When that tag involves accusations of pedophile apologia or Zionist-washing without providing evidence it will receive negative attention regardless of the user’s popularity.

Your suspicions regarding paid engagement ignores the rational explanation that he is simply a recognizable name. Those suspicions are further undercut by tagging him and accusing him of reprehensible behavior. You personally have increased engagement with your actions.

Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren’t hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.

I’m staunchly anti-genAI but consider other applications of traditional machine-learning less problematic. A purely local model for photo categorization seems, in theory, less objectionable to me. I’m sure models exist already but I’m purposefully out of the loop. Any suggestions for models I could look into? And just how much compute would something like that require?

I very nearly shared Artificial Brain! Dissonant/atmospheric DM hits different for sure.

They definitely aren’t in the same corner of DM as Ulcerate or Artificial Brain but if you dig avant-garde/proggy death I highly recommend Pleroma by Orgone.

What’s the context with Pug?

Ive worked with Ansys Fluent in university but really fucking love CFD and could probably use the practice regardless.

Ah…right…old laptop and AI-driven component shortages… Someday I’ll have a shitload of compute, just you all wait!

Good, more for me!

I’m not so sure it is. If the leading surface was completely bluff, the length of roof were shorter than the protruding boat and it was moving very fast then yeah, maybe.

In reality, the nose of the RV plus the length of roof surface along with non-Mach speeds will virtually guarantee the bulk of the airflow will remain coupled to that roof until a radical change in geometry such as the boat.

You’re going to make me learn OpenFOAM aren’t you

Okay but there’s no way the flow separates from that roof enough to clear the boat

Allegedly.

Would you not?
