Pete Carroll: Raiders “Really Need” Brock Bowers Active Throughout Games https://raiderramble.com/2025/09/17/pete-carroll-raiders-really-need-brock-bowers-active-throughout-games/

I need to spend some time with a USB PD analyzer and some of my hardware.
Earlier today I observed the following cursed USB-C behavior at a friend's place:
1) Laptop -> phone: charges phone
2) Power bank -> phone: charges phone
3) Wall brick -> phone: red LED on phone turns on, but OS doesn't show any indication of charging and battery level doesn't go up
4) Wall brick -> power bank: charges bank
5) Laptop -> power bank: LED flashes …

Progress on the #tricycle project is mainly in thinking about and working on the subframe. One thing that I'm sure is the right decision is to give the subframe a flat mounting flange, which will bolt down onto a matching pedestal within the hull. This will make the subframe easier to fabricate, and easier to mount/dismount - which I think will be needed for any work on the wheel or tyre.

ChatGPT will now remind you to take breaks, following mental health concerns
OpenAI is updating ChatGPT to remind users to take breaks if they chat with AI for a long period of time.

The Los Angeles field office director for the Department of Homeland Security
testified on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
desperately needed the help of military personnel in carrying out arrests.
The question is whether Donald Trump‘s deployment of armed forces goes against U.S. law that generally prohibits the president from using the military to police domestic affairs.
Ernesto Santacruz Jr. testified at the start of a three-day trial in S…

Trial to start over National Guard deployment to Los Angeles
A federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments on whether military troops deployed this summer by the Trump administration to Los Angeles violated a federal law that bars troops from conducting law enforcement duties within the country. Judge Charles Breyer will decide whether the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law that prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force, was violated by the 4,700 California National Guard members and Marines sent following protests. T…

Comparative Evaluation of Neural Network Architectures for Generalizable Human Spatial Preference Prediction in Unseen Built Environments
The capacity to predict human spatial preferences within built environments is instrumental for developing Cyber-Physical-Social Infrastructure Systems (CPSIS). A significant challenge in this domain is the generalizability of preference models, particularly their efficacy in predicting preferences within environmental configurations not encountered during training. While deep learning models have shown promise in learning complex spatial and contextual dependencies, it remains unclear which ne…

Yet another sensor failure. They send 6 at a time for a 3 month supply. I am on the last from this batch. They are lasting from 4 to 6 days then failing with "Replace sensor" and error code 365. Only good thing about it is I added almost 3 sensors to my stash and maybe more if this one also dies.
But the annoyance and it failing while out sucks. As well as pulling off a really stuck on sensor since the adhesive has not started to break down yet. So yet another arm hickie…

The United Nations General Assembly will convene its September session in Geneva instead of New York,
following the United States’ refusal to grant entry visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and dozens of senior Palestinian officials
President Abbas is expected to address the Assembly in Geneva,
where he will call for international protection, recognition of Palestinian sovereignty,
and accountability for war crimes.
The Geneva session is expected to amp…

CAD model of the #tricycle subframe. The chain ring is very nearly as big as the front wheel (80 teeth!). It drives an epicyclic gearbox mounted in the nose of the vehicle, which also has a disc brake. The epicyclic will drive a secondary chain via a sprocket mounted to the left hand spoke flange, but this is not yet shown. There will be no ratchet on the secondary chain, so the disk brake on the…
