The water moves the heat from the DC to some near-infinite sink (ocean, river, atmosphere if evaporative, whatever.) In space it's quite (very) hard to move the heat anywhere. So w…

> The heat problem has demonstrable solutions that people who are physics challenged can't seem to get themselves to accept. Go on then, what are they? Demonstrable, you said. Show…

My fantasy is that liability for model misbehavior is extended to the ultimate beneficial owners of the models, meaning shareholders. All these externalities would stop PDQ.

I am the last person to defend FIFA - I love the UEFA's stance here - but only Balogun's suspension can be pinned on FIFA. Those other things are down to USA politics. Bad, for sur…

The failure here wasn't overcurrent, which is what fuses (or breakers) mitigate. Here it was poor connection, no fuse or breaker would help. And in fact didn't since the author men…

Just to play with this a bit, this proposal instantly and completely ends Republican power. Low-taxed rural poor and retiree votes are gone, entirely. Higher earning coastal white …

It is at takeoff and landing, applies equally to ETOPS or otherwise.

Is this because of something analogous to an expected value calculation? Like the increased probability of failure of a single engine when carrying 4, combined with the lower exces…

Good lord. “This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.”

This is a normal thing to do in brittle materials; it’s a technique I’ve employed a few times to stop cracks propagating in fiberglass on boats. Super cool to see it being done in …

This water usage argument against data centers is so specious I almost think it's spread as a deliberate talking point by DC proponents. Power consumption and effect on electricity…

I thought at first it was just a skinned Wolfenstein 3D. Which is grossly unfair. A lot of work here.

That'd be a terrifying setup for me as a live player! I'm curious where you found low latency wireless headphones though. Have a look at Loopback - very mature app now. I use this …

It's a bigger issue than one of legality. The high seat in a standard truck cab offsets two of the biggest challenges with driving a truck: it takes ages to get up to speed, and a …

Since 2020 Fender has been owned by Servco Pacific, a Hawaiian car dealer that has some musical instrument holdings as well (Roland). It has a private equity arm attached from whic…

OK fair enough.

Very nice work of art. (I don't really like the bullets though, they don't seem very metal-y to me. Scythes maybe, or flensing knives.) It might be fun to have a sort of gazetteer …

I don't know anything about them but it's a cool effect. At least on this strawberry, you're not zooming in but rather traveling closer. I don't see the increasing (made up) detail…

There was WindowMaker for a while too, just a window manager.

Alright, it's worth a try. I'll do it at night in a balaclava though, because I live in the USA and no matter whether it's local, state, or federal government they'd rather spend $…

It isn't beautiful at all, nauseating uncanny valley stuff in my opinion, but AI images do have a style (or rather one of a number of idiosyncratic styles.) The sort of glossiness …

Very interesting premise in the title. Something like the seven basic plots of Western storytelling, but built from an Indian perspective? Anyway the site is too clever for its own…

Wordle-ish, but each row is a new word one letter longer than the prior which is a clue for the next.

From the exploding pixels and then you're fine. You needed an H as well anyway.
