It's only deterministic in the sense of the mathematical constructs that models the system, like differential equations that drive the simulations at each finite time step. But the information or the state which the simulation is appli

>it's all deterministic and there is no opposing player making choices It's not deterministic, it's chaotic. That is the nature of the N-body problem. We can only approximate trajectories in such a system using numerical m

But what made it airtight? Even a small leak could eventually cause the liquid to degas over the period of 2000 years?

How on earth did the wine not evaporate out of the vessel over such a long period of time?

If nobody cared, art would not exists. Nobody would do science. Civilisations would not be built. Health care would not exists. And nobody enjoys living in a shit hole. People collectively do make decisions which are selfless, so long they

>and retain the magnetic field tolerance, current-carrying capacity Even if it doesn't meet those requirements, room temperature superconductors will have immense value in low-power applications, micro electronics, sensing, etc.

Honestly even if they are size of a jellybean, it would be a massive boon for space exploration. Just imagine sending them for reconnaissance work around the solar system to check out potential bodies to explore for bigger probes later down

If these devices (one day) can run on the same power as a solar powered calculator, it might be possible to place them in ambient light conditions.

That sounds like a fun project. Was it part of a research grant?

Good article.

Why? Because it's indicative of shit engineering. "Let's build something that we KNOW will catastrophically fail, because we deliberately ignore to take account limited resource availability of that system." For a critic

>Is there vision tests similar to audio tests where they figure out one's individual responses to different wavelengths of light? Super neat. Unlike consumer audio equipment where you can easily do a frequency sweep to test hearing,

>But a lot of businesses assume they need to ask permission for placing any cookies, which is simply not correct. Partly because of laziness, partly because of pessimistic legal compliance.

I don't think that's a big deal though. You deliberately choose to use a rational system, because you understand the problem domain, which could greatly benefit from such a representation. If you throw a rational system at every m

This highlights the reason why side-loading should be a right for users on the device they bought. Users get to control what gets installed on the device.

I reckon they used a good old fashioned honeypot. Seed a torrent of some random popular content that also contains malware payload, and let users download it.

The factories that build them is like something out of a sci-fi film. Quite mind blowing.

The point I was making is that there is no profit to be made by extending the life of drives. And sample size of one (i.e. you) is not representative of the market. There is always a demand for storage and people will keep buying worse prod

I do believe laziness is a big part of it. Because laziness IS about economics - in this case, personal economics. Why expend effort when you can get away with less and get rewarded the same?
