Why were we taught to fear witches, but not the men who burned them at the stake?1978 Porsche 928
Bro,
There is this listing: https://www.facebook.com/share/1EHnYRCPvc/
It's a 1978 porsche 928 "in decent shape" with no engine and with torn seats, selling at $750, with clean title. Isn't this a good opportunity?
Hyundai takes full control of Boston Dynamics as SoftBank exits for $325 million
Hyundai Motor Group is acquiring SoftBank's remaining 9.65% stake in Boston Dynamics for $325 million, completing its full ownership of the robotics company.

AI Is Technology, Not a Product
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being treated as a standalone product category, but industry analysts argue that framing misses the bigger picture. AI, they say, is not a product in itself but a foundational technology — similar to electricity, the internet, or cloud computing.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.
Key Features of the Power System
The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.
Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.
The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.
Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.
Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
