I will be in (northern) Italy next month, is there a name for this kind of tomato I can look for?

FYI I believe all of those ~1TB $10-20 USB drives on amazon are scams- basically set up to trick your computer into showing a terabyte of disk space available, but not actually hav…

Plants are a temporary solution at best, as they decompose and catch fire which puts their carbon back in the atmosphere. We need to be sequestering CO2 into more permanent forms

This seems like a sort of unwinnable arms race. Can't the people who work on generative text models use this classifier as a feedback mechanism so that their output doesn't flag it…

Given that humans evolved to live on Earth, isn't it quite unlikely that we'll find planets that are more hospitable (to us) than Earth?

If you'd held out until 2006, there was a DVD release containing the unaltered versions of the films- referred to as GOUT (George's Original Unaltered Trilogy). As far as I know th…

My understanding is that this is the central idea behind BECCS (mentioned briefly in the article) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_...

I haven't resorted to changing my launcher yet, but I will definitely avoid purchasing a new shield (when my old one no longer suffices) as long as this is the user experience

I don't think so. Either Musk will change Starlink to comply with the great firewall (giving starlink access to a market of over a billion people), or China will ban Starlink termi…
