I was curious about that as well. He probably doesn't tell because there would be instant arguing. To be fair though, hardware development feels like it has slowed down while the parts are becoming more expensive. I have a thing where

Expanding on the "breadcrumbs": pheromone trails or "trampled grass" are awesome, not only because they are a great data source for steering heuristics, but they also lead to organic-seeming navigation behavior that is p

Not necessarily. If reader mode skips their ads, they'd probably be in the clear.

I suspect you're using some plugin that's blocking cookies (whether they correctly detect that as EasyList or not). Due to that, it's possible that CNN can't store your response to their privacy popup and so they have de

In the context of the larger discussion about how to save the leaderboard in the face of rampant and cheap cheating options, my point was simply that maybe it didn't need to be saved in the first place. Heck, I can't imagine it&#x

I'd actually welcome it if the leaderboard was abolished. I never really played for placement, but something about the fact that the board was full of people who routinely solve every problem in about the same time it takes me to even

This is huge and potentially encouraging news for (biological) extraterrestrial life. Because P is so rare, the chemical options for complex organisms are very limited in vast stretches of space. Now that we observed it in the outer reaches

Ebay or Aliexpress are good options with buyer's protection. I bought quite a few OrangePis in my time, although that was at a time when the Orange Pi Zero was 9 EUR a piece. At current prices, I don't see the point. The OPis them

This is a good argument for transhumanism. People seem to have a problem with the speed of light since without FTL, unmodified humans cannot meaningfully travel interstellar distances - and pop culture entertainment has surreptitiously sold

> We cannot ignore photosynthesis outside of a lab as it is a factor that exists. I apologize if this wasn't clear. It's an expression about energy potentials, and as such it's not just useful in a lab, it's an es

The application of this is not in energy production or - realistically - CO2 capture on a global scale. This takes huge amounts of energy to do and requires a sophisticated chemical synthesis in the background in order to replenish the cata

"Bottom of the energy hill" is a chemist's short hand way of saying that we can't practically extract energy from CO2 reacting with anything useful, meaning chemically this is at the bottom end of reactions that happen w

I'm in Germany as well. You're fine. You didn't download anything, and more importantly, didn't UPLOAD anything. Accessing this index site is not fundamentally different from using any other search engine.

Sebastian Lague made an excellent video "Ant and Slime Simulations" which explores how path-finding algorithms can use trails and gradient-based signaling to solve spatial problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

I like this, tried it out and it performed pretty well. I signed up. It says in the pricing section that 2Mpx images are free, although my test image was larger than that. My account at Cedar Lake Ventures does not link back to Pixian, and

Argofox has a huge catalogue on YT, depending on your tastes. Aim To Head also releases some of their electronic mixes as royalty-free.

The map doesn't seem to work for me. What's the identifiable data like? Are there names? From the article it seemed it's just publicly-available city-to-city connection data.

I got the impression that they gimped 3.5 severely over time. Since 4 is still restricted to 25 messages / 3 hours (for paying customers!), I sometimes fall back on 3.5. Of course it's impossible to prove, but it feels like it&#x2

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT as a design and play aid for DMing. It depends hugely on the task. ChatGPT is pretty good at generating semi-random NPCs, it's decent at keeping track of situations and items, it's lacking

One more leap like this and we'll be able to resolve individual dendrites and obtain a complete connectome. Combined with microscopic slices (with suitable immunohistological staining), we'd be getting close to obtaining the data
