That’s one way cables are often routed next to railroad tracks. A concrete trench with concrete covering slabs. I’m sure it’s more expensive than just digging, though it serves to make the cables serviceable.

The linked article states implies they are built: “These are the first two prototypes — which have already been developed and pre-tested for structural stability and high-voltage performance.” That’s very weaselly of them.

A terrorist attack on a space elevator happens to figure in the first episode of the TV series Foundation. https://foundation.fandom.com/wiki/Bombing_of_the_Star_Bridg... It’s about as devastating as you would expect.

Presumably GP means enabling by not seizing him or his assets earlier? Which I find to be a bit of a stretch.

Yes, but severing would end up in court versus a very belligerent party, who would do their utmost to cost you money. An organization that prioritizes safety over ethics will just suck up the extra cost, apparently. There are companies and

I’m pretty sure there are fees involved with running a cash register, aren’t there? At least in Sweden, the machine has to be certified, registers with the tax authority and then inspected for re-certification regularly. Regarding cash, doe

As soon as what you have in your machine doesn’t literally match the stated system requirements, you’re on your own. It’s up to the user to research and understand which CPU or GPU is ”better” or ”worse” than the required one. These things

I do appreciate that they lead with the examples. They convey 90% of the important information. TBH, having worked with yaml just enough to get by with k8s deployments, I could immediately spot how this would be an improvement.

Probably due to the extremely large amounts of React code in the training data set, not due to any inherent advantage of the framework. LLM coding will lead to stagnation in languages and frameworks as developers start considering how compe

I keep four to six flours in my pantry, but none of them contain additives like baking powder. It’s so trivial to add the appropriate amount when it’s called for, I have trouble understanding why self-rising flour would be a popular product

Author seems to have misread what the ”10-channel desktop scanner” is about. He seems to think it’s referring to an image scanner? I think it’s a device that monitors AM or FM radio for you. I’m sure it’s been made obsolete, but I’m not sur

I would expect the CPU to start throttling at high temperatures in order to avoid damage. Allegedly, it never did, and instead died. Do you think that’s acceptable in 2025?
