Amazon needs to stop with inventory comingling. They know it and refuse to stop, so they are culpable. I'm sure it would hurt their logistics to stop, but it also hurts cigarette c…

I can't help you with the why some SD cards are short lived, but if you want a longer lasting SD card, try the "endurance" versions. Most of the big brands have a version. They are…

1. Your previous comment only mentioned PlaidML. 2. The parent comment was about translating existing code written in CUDA to be used on an AMD GPU, not about developing new softwa…

“with only a primitive GPS to indicate the right direction” ... so these kids are more at risk of being kidnapped than they are of getting lost. I’ll admit that I think it’s a bit …

PlaidML is not what most people want. PlaidML is pretty much only for neural network based machine learning, plus it's primarily a backend for models written in Keras. But it is an…

In this case Iran denies that it lost a drone so it couldn't be an act of war. You have to admit to getting shot before retaliating. Also, we have seen multiple manned aircraft sho…

Yes, mostly just analytics and standard fare from all websites. For the most part, it's just the regular "Share on Facebook/Twitter/Etc." buttons that you see all over the internet…

Yes. For those not familiar, KyoAni is not a "huge" studio, in that it usually only produces one show per season, and often none at all. They are highly respected due to the shows …

It might be misleading, but it's not uncommon. Apple MacBook Pros have thermal throttled at high loads for the past several years. It has throttled for so long that reviewers were …

It's not false. You can't send an action potential down a motor neuron connected to a muscle without a reaction from the muscle. Do not confuse the neurons in your brain (which gen…

You missed the point. You don't need to live a long life to be happy. That's you trying to impose your worldview on other people. A lot of people confuse things that are correlated…

See my reply to dagenix in this thread. You have discovered the point.

I could have easily included myself in my above list of anecdotes. But more importantly, look at all the "harmful" things I listed. My mom interacts with her friends. An old lady s…

A lot of these things are assuming a traditional model of well-being (that being fit and smart and long lived makes you happier). This is stuff that doctors say I need , but I don'…

It only hurts kids as much as it hurts everyone else. My 60 y/o mom is on social media for hours per day. That's harmful. My 80 y/o grandma plays Pokemon Go four hours per day, whi…

Full speed USB-C allows for high-bandwidth and easy to plug in. It's a pretty good connector if you don't need severe weather resistance. Using off the shelf hardware saves time fo…

In the asteriods demo ( https://youtu.be/5Z5aZK2C3ew?t=711 ) the only reason his fingers aren't moving a bunch is because the hand is flat on the table and the table is pushing bac…

The CTRL-kit, which is the "real" product they have, uses electromyography, which needs muscle activation to work, so something must twitch at a minimum to send a signal. A good in…

A key aspect for me will be whether Neuralink can enable brain control interfaces that don't require sending signals to muscles. A key example that falls short is CRTL-labs' armban…

I haven't tried it, but I would make a somewhat educated guess to say, no. Not that it can't be done, but that it probably isn't as easy to get the reaction going as regular thermi…

Not GP, but his education in Switzerland clarifies the fact that the leadership does not believe the propaganda they give to their populace. Kim is very aware that the promise of b…

The way you say it kind of understates the difficulty. It is straightforward to image a large enough satellite if you know where it is going to be. I have even snapped a picture of…

What I find most amazing about this isn't the image (although it's pretty cool), it's the fact that a bunch of amateur astronomers[1] can locate a satellite in space with no help- …

80C is warm, but not life-threatening to the chip. I'm not sure, but it may start to throttle at this temperature, as previous versions did throttle at 80C. So cooling is helpful, …

Both the USA and UK provide legal aid for poor people even if the procedures are different. If you cannot afford a solicitor, the government will help you pay for one, but they pro…
