The degree to which you can extract energy from heat depends on the temperature difference compared to ambient. Efficient power stations all need super heated steam (like 600C). This would be like 100C max which is not very useful for gener

Definitely LLM. No humans write that many comments.

Presumably they are excluding non-native Germans using difficult German language requirements? Tbh I wish my current employer had higher (or any) English language requirements. It makes meetings (especially video calls which is all of them)

Yes, you can lose your job at any time. Just not for any reason.

Yeah fine, take notes. Why post them here?

The amount of work is not a fixed number, it's more of a supply/demand curve. Do we need 100 programs? Yes definitely! 10k? Yes. 1m? Probably. 100m? Uhm... 1bn? Probably not. So there will always be a point where people aren'

It also makes zero sense. You don't have to admit that you have a small penis to take legal action against someone that writes an insulting version of you with a small penis. People are not identified by their penis size.

Read this guy's ramblings and give me one cool application that he has found. Lots of "maybe it could do this!" and "it can do <completely useless thing>!"

Do trains have real time position sensing and reporting now? Feels to me like that should be something that could (and should) have been done 20 years ago at least. You don't even need GPS - even wheel-based odometry should work very w

This is pretty much just rambling about how amazing aluminium foil is because it's so thin and that might enable all sorts of wonderful imaginary applications. Very HN. It's aluminium foil.

Is this actually based on GPS (or similar) on the trains, or is it just interpolating signal times (which are waaaay coarser)?

This definitely isn't another Theranos. Theranos claimed to have a blood test that didn't actually exist. This is "just" standard ultrasound but with a much wider aperture than normal. There's no new science, it&#x2

Not being able to image inside the lungs is probably only a minor limitation really. There's also inside the head, and inside the rib cage is going to be awkward too due to bones. Also ultrasound just isn't that good of an imaging

RST is pretty much the worst option out there. Your mainstream options are: * Markdown. Great for simple stuff. It's going to be awkward if you're writing a book or technical docs or whatever. * RestructuredText. Better for more c

How do you know though? People thought ANNs and perceptrons were basically useless until pretty much around the time of AlexNet and while there were some architectural improvements (CNNs, transformers), the biggest thing that changed was th

No his point is that this is surprising because people have the wrong idea of what the Aztec empire is. It's like saying "the population of the City of London is only 8500 people!" - it's only surprising because it'

> compiler optimizations are just extremely prone to mistakes This is definitely true - there has been quite a lot of formal work done to prove that optimisation passes don't change semantics. I guess it hasn't made it into Rus

Terrible name. It's going to fail on those grounds alone. Not that it would really succeed otherwise. You need Android app compatibility to stand a remote chance.

Wasn't my question, but no I don't think that's the reason. It's that ordinary people do not actually care about it that much. Plenty of people are still climate change deniers (yes even in the middle of an unprecedent

There are literally hundreds of actions that could be (or in some cases have been) taken. I think the vast majority need to be taken by the government. Individuals mainly need to to support and demand these actions from the government, and

And yet there are still climate change deniers here. Look at any BBC article about this where they enable comments and about a quarter of the upvotes are for denier comments. Absolutely insane.

I think fundamentally it's just really annoying to read the same cringey LinkedIn style voice everywhere. If you manage to write an AI assisted article that doesn't tediously follow the "what this means for you", "i

There aren't that many points. It looks fine to me. (But I agree that is a common mistake.)

You still need a section of skull removed though. Also having done a PhD on ultrasonic imaging I'm a bit skeptical of their claims. Ultrasound is a pretty shoddy imaging technology really.

Stupid idea. Doctors are incentivised to just give out a sick note to anyone that asks. There's no downside for them if they do that, and if they don't, they get complaints from the public. It seems likely to me that we will end u

I dunno this seems like a quite far fetched attack with minimal impact in the very unlikely case that it succeeds.

I don't think it's as simple as that. Killing a program can have unintended consequences too, e.g. corrupting files they were in the middle of writing.
