Global fossil fuel usage fell last year. We are on a trajectory to massively cut out fossil fuels and replace them with renewables. This was before global petroleum movement was blocked through the Strait. Check out the juicy details in t

No, I get that. The pondering was before I knew it was a recording of actions. Once you know that, it is a fully self-contained box with external nudges from the players which get inserted into the simulation.

I suppose that makes sense for a deterministic engine. That way you have an ordered steam of actions with only one way to execute them. I was wondering how you could possibly sync up something like a Carrier that has multiple fighters.

You burn a barrel of oil once. A solar panel lasts for 20+ years. After you have installed it, if China announces they will no longer sell new ones - you have two decades of lead time to start building your own domestically.

Or that Germany shares electricity with the EU, so that everyone is getting subjected to those pains with fuel sources being cut.

One thing that I really want to know - the better models from today vs a year ago - what has changed. They have already pre-trained on all available public data. Scooping up the last percentage of archaic texts which were never digitized is

Do replay files require consistency or can you spawn new units from the ether as required? I think you could get a system that would get the broad strokes unit placement correct, but having a shot-for-shot perfect replication seems impossib

Who is offering the refusal vectors or instructions on how to generate them?

Formal agreements matter unless the counter-party is the US who will gleefully alter the deal the second it becomes inconvenient.

Would that hold up in court if the person were willing to challenge it? That seems a clear cut violation of that person's speech, but I guess anything for "national security".

Indeed this is not the article I originally read either, but very similar breakdown of the problem.

The article did mention suction sails for the Maersk Tankers, but it does seem like the bulk of the article was about the rotating tubes.

by 3eb7988a1663 9d ago
If anyone else was confused why those pictures were of giant tubes and not canvas sails, you are not alone. Apparently those are some version of "Suction Sails". The vendor's website has a graphic that explains it, though it

Significantly larger, yes.

At the conclusion, he said he spent two years on this! That's a thesis.

I am failing to find the article, but some early online poker systems used the server time as the seed coupled with a weak PRNG. With the information of the hole cards + community cards, after a few hands, could quickly determine exactly wh

I can think of at least two people in my career who were, ahem, load bearing for the company. They did all of the BS, non-sexy work required to keep the place running. Never wasted time on vanity projects, just showed up day after day doing

Skyrim came out in 2011 and is at this moment, the 55th highest player count on Steam. Just playing top tier single player games over the past twenty years could keep you incredibly busy.

That's exactly how it was revealed that a high quality image intentionally leaked by Trump came from a satellite and not an overhead plane. Press article: https://www.livescience.com/secret-classified-satellite-trum...

From a purely efficiency standpoint, yes, but practically, electricity->heat is a lot cheaper to install. Plumbing is messy, and bolting on a water circulation system to a roof is harder than delivering more joules over the wires.

Yeah, but the important question is where would Putin be after that?

Right after you get that DOGE check.

The systems must be separate if they were able to disable some of the network connectivity but maintain GPS. I thought GP was talking about if they had to reconnect the systems for some reason, would archived telemetry suddenly be uploaded.

Things are really about to hit the fan. The world has been surviving off of strategic petroleum reserves, but those are quickly hitting the bottom. The US last reported at 285M barrels[0]. There is a legal floor of ~250M, after which it is

I did say lose the GPS.

by 3eb7988a1663 13d ago
If you are willing to lose GPS, maybe you could set the car's internal clock to the year 2000. This might fool a cursory data dump that is looking for "last three months of driving habits". Would obviously not stand up to any

The Python cryptography library switched out C for Rust which invalidated some platforms[0]. 2021 story, so not sure if anything has changed. ...Since the Gentoo Portage package manager indirectly depends on cryptography, ""w

The isolation was so good, many of the workers had no idea what they were doing. Interviews after the war with the rank and file contained quite varied speculation on what the plants were trying to accomplish. I remember one nurse who thoug

IT tech was probably the one who suggested the approach.
