The church has been using logic in the study of religion for thousands of years. This is no different. One way or another asking questions and thinking about problems is OK.

Keep in mind C is just basically assembly but encapsulated in a pretty package. If you create small executables and dump out the generated unoptimized assembly you'll be surprised …

For portability by far the vast majority will say C. In my experience the C compiler optimizer will do a lot with -O2 or -03 but it can't always infer correct SIMD optimization for…

This is an apt observation. Anything negative. Even if true. Even if it doesn't reflect on you. They want someone socially aware enough that they can say negative things without sa…

The fact they chose Arizona to build this thing is mind boggling.

Correct. This is all based on my previous knowledge of my local monopoly agreements that someone told me about years ago. They refused for months to install internet until I asked …

In a bunch of areas the companies rely on legal monopolies that were given to them by the local governments. The agreement was they get a monopoly if they agree to install phone li…

No guarantees bc it entirely relies on your local ordinances, but it did work for me when the company was giving me the runaround about internet. I just asked for a landline phone …

Just got done watching all of the seasons again (for the third time). I keep forgetting how incredibly sad the last few episodes are. It's a gut punch every time especially knowing…

Ah I remember the days of Ron Paul

How does this apply to our water filters inside our refrigerators?

Why is it lit on one side? Wouldn't radar return a signal regardless of whether or not the part of the asteroid is lit by sunlight?

PVP probably yes. PvE? Not really. The algorithms for a competent engine are fairly CPU heavy.

The EV push is marketing. It's someone trying to sell something. If countries were interested in solving anything they'd just install more electric trains. Even less of a commitmen…

Someone was working on an AI that could detect if text was generated by ChatGPT. I'm sure through some smart queries it could be figured out.

Yea poster above you clearly hasn't driven by a chicken farm. God the smell goes for MILES. It's pretty bad. I'd rather do just about anything else.

I had it give me book recommendations on a particular topic. It straight up made up a fake book with a fake author and attributed it to a publisher. It did this with confidence. I …

They did an experiment like this called the Quantum Eraser Experiment. The outcome is quite strange and I still don't know if I fully understand the result. It suggests potential r…

Well I'm never drinking another Miller again...
