I'm surprised.

Consulting an exposure limit calculator (https://www.arrl.org/rf-exposure-calculator) suggests a safe distance (FCC controlled exposure limit) for continuous (30 min) exposure from a 100w FM transmitter antenna at 100 MHz with, say, 5 dB gain is around 5 ft. For a brief exposure it's much less.

Amateur radio operators need to know this, since 100w is quite a typical power level, and they have bands (50 MHz and 144 MHz) not far from commercial FM.

How far away from the antenna were you? The antenna is usually far away from the transmitter that you were replacing.


Maybe like 1-2 feet away i was manually adjusting something on the top of a 8 foot radio tower on vandenburg hall at USAFA.

Does that apply to this comment on this page?

Of course.


I don't allege bad intent, but I wish people would stop using "Karen" as an insult, because I know some perfectly nice people with the misfortune to have been given that name.


That experiment might simply divide artists into those who understand bullshit assignments and can adapt to that context, and those who don't and can't.

There are plenty of artists who can do well on SATs, and can fill out bureaucratic forms, and complete one-hour timed tests. They might well take a lot of time to think and explore when they are making their own art on their own schedule.

But I know artists who just can't function well under artificial constraints and can't adapt well to someone else telling them how to create art.


Is it really so obvious? It didn’t seem AI-written to me.

Every day I seem to encounter (and skip over in disgust) a dozen or so AI-generated articles at the top of web searches, but this wasn’t anything at all like those.


Even the title is likely AI-generated, as are all the subject headings. I worry we're all getting inured to these writing patterns.

Of course, it was!

It's not that arcane.


I've happily been a paid user on macOS for years, I would guess the number of paid users there was able to fund the Linux development.


I had to deal with that on the software side.

The ability to win arguments about technical choices is not always aligned with the ability to make good technical choices.
