    Just wait … I fear the day when appliance makers get rid of most buttons and just let “artificial intelligence” make all the decisions for you.

  • Audio from a Black Hole?

    I thought that in space no one can hear you scream?

    "The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel," the NASA team said. "A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we’ve picked up actual sound. Here it’s amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!"

    TODAY hosts Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Tom Llamas reacted on Tuesday to the video, which comes from a black hole 250 million light years away from Earth.

    Hoda's jaw dropped while listening to the clip, while Al explained how scientists were able to create the audio.

    "Well, it picked up the sound because of the amount of gas that a galaxy cluster has," Al said while laughing.

    "Don't, Al, I'm begging you," Hoda responded, trying to hold in her giggles.

    "So, so, so ... there's that," Al continued with a smile.

    The issue with the note is it is about 57 octaves below middle C, meaning humans can't hear it, NASA says. But researchers produced a new sonification, or a translation of astronomical data into sound, for Black Hole Week earlier this year.

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Aqua, thought about joining the Navy?:

    … I have kind of an issue with "esports" generally.

    Kindly elaborate, what issue(s) do you have with “esports” (other than it having the word “sports” in its name)?

    The whole podcast is here. It’s a very wide-ranging conversation, not just about 2019-20.

    @George-K said in Ford raises prices (again):

    electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning

    https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-towing-test/

    With the largest available battery pack, a fully charged 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck has less energy onboard than a regular F-150 with four gallons of gas in its tank.

    We performed our testing with the top-shelf $92,669 Platinum trim (full test at this link), which includes the larger battery and has a standard towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The Max Trailer Tow upgrade, which wasn't equipped on our test truck, raises that to 8,500 pounds.

    With only a driver aboard and no trailer in tow, the Platinum achieved a MotorTrend Road-Trip Range of 255 miles.

    We had been warned to expect the range to be cut in half when towing, but the effect of towing these travel trailers proved even more significant. With the smallest and lightest trailer, we measured a range of just 115 miles. That figure fell to 100 miles with the middleweight camper and sank to a mere 90 miles with the 7,218-pound Grand Design trailer.

    90 miles range at full towing capacity, 90 miles!

    For $92,669 you get 90 miles

    hahahahahahahahahahahahah

    @Horace said in Interesting long view of inflation by category:

    I wonder if college textbooks are the perfect microcosm of the non-market-forces involved in higher education costs.

    Textbooks are their own thing. Obligatory purchase with a side of principal/agent problem.

    Higher Ed has other forces involved
