The gains compound a bit too, 20 percent less weight equals proportionally less battery capacity required to shift the now-lighter vehicle from point A to point B.

So then you can cut the size of the battery while maintaining the same range, and that's where you start to get significant overall weight and cost savings.

The only extra moon I'm willing to accommodate is a blue moon. All the rest are just social media wankery, especially "supermoons" that are merely a few percent larger than usual due to the minor eccentricity of the moon's orbit.

Personally, I'm holding out for the Electric Twizzler Platinum Edition Supermoon Series 9000, I hear it's going to be the best one yet.

It's really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how "right" any individual field is.

Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There's just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn't be a problem!

Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.

It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that's not there anymore, which is why there's nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that's causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

Personally I'd reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.

There's an underlying kernel under the kernels for each core that controls access to hardware. It has all the hardware drivers and maintains state.

TL;DR ; let me give you an alternative opinion.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so I don't have to be a hunter-gatherer. Cryptocurrency ends up either an being outright scam or rather difficult to exchange for goods and services in everyday use.

This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.

No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next ~~village~~ dataset.

I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.

Geoengineering is probably the only way to counteract things now.

But that involves fucking around with the bottom of our food chain in the oceans so there's obviously a good deal of reluctance to start down that path.

  • Algorithm shows a preview of a chaotic scene where the content isn't easily identified.
  • You open / interact / linger on it to figure out what is happening before identifying it as something you don't want to look at.
  • Algorithm detects increased interaction and happily serves up more.

I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick "not interested" on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear.

I generally have to press "not interested" about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts.

English readily absorbs both the best and worst of all the other languages. If some other language has a word that really hits the mood of even just a small amount of English speakers - bam! - it's English now, motherfucker!

Add to this, it's chock-full of complicated and often hidden rules that can - or absolutely cannot - be broken, depending on context. No wonder people learning it as a second language have that permanently confused look on their face.
