Given the name of the lead author of the paper and the way heat pumps work, I really wish the atricle had worked "Gibb's Free Energy" into the write-up somewhere.

Sadly it's not that simple. For example: - Run a playbook which asserts the existence of a user - Playbook fails at a later stage - Executing an earlier version of the playbook which doesn't have the user assertion won't caus

Expanding and contracting Transformers' sizes is referred to as "morphing" and was much more commonly observed in the cartoon than the Michael Bay movies - but the cartoons are still better. What are you guys talking about?

The latest AMD instance launched by AWS, M7a, is unusual in that 1 vCPU = 1 physical core - the same as Graviton but not like the Sapphire Rapids M7i instances, which still use hyperthreading. I wonder if this is a signal that the whole ind

FWIW there are still people (dozens of us!) who don't feel the need to be artificially offended by a bit of hyperbole on an internet forum.

In order to avoid polarising your prospective audience and extending the time they take you seriously, I'd avoid referring to this particular activity as "engineering".

My Thinkcentre just died an early death - only had it 3 years from new. With that I think my time of having a bunch of devices at home to tinker with is coming to an end - just running a couple of VPS instances in Vultr or Hetzner is less h

The subtlety of different support levels for minor releases is something I hadn't come across before, thanks. I'm surprised RH haven't made more of that recently.

When a free alternative (CentOS, Rocky) exists, you can get those benefits without the cost. The only real differentiator RH has is support. Being an open source company means that RH has a non-standard business model and should expect non-

Sure, and that's enough motivation for people to be convinced to pay something - I just think the current price is too high.

It's kind of a shame this is based on Groovy, rather than Python which is much more familiar to people in the HCLS space. I've always been stuck on the fence between wanting to use NF (since it's the most popular) and Snakema

This falls under the heading of "technically correct" - in the sense that the limit is high enough for people to make the argument you are, and yet too low for most enterprise use-cases. Worse, the offer could be withdrawn at any

But is the collective noun for fully-grown factlets "facti" or "factodes"?

That's stretching the definition of "molecule" even worse than astrophysicists stretch the definition of "metal".

I'm going to use my new skills as a Prompt Engineer to get Stable Diffusion to produce some NFTs for me, and use the profits to invest in a SPAC targeting LK-99 start-ups. Now explain that sentence to a caveman - or even to someone in

Superconducting material discovered right around the time conversations about UFOs are kicking off again - coincidence?

Mostly, I am just glad that all the LK-99 posts are drowning out the "AI" news for a few days.

I don't buy the Blu-ray thing largely because of price, but also because Amazon is quite a conservative company and tape is the more obvious choice.

Weird labelling - when I first saw "kits" I was briefly hopeful about getting a Jetson-style version of a Habana Gaudi accelerator.

My impression is that the ambiguity gives them freedom to implement in different ways across different regions and over time. The original Glacier was very clearly tape, but given the instant retrieval capabilities the newer S3-Glacier tier

I'm sure it is - but that leaves the engineer with the calculation to do of "time this commercial tool will save me" versus "time/goodwill I will burn trying to get the purchase approved".

I never saw it marketed that way - but even so, anyone stupid enough to fall for it deserves every NAT gateway charge they've had since.

So the obvious question is: what's the catch? France is the best comparison of those you mentioned - their GDP and budget deficit are similar to the UK, so where is the extra money coming from to fund this world class healthcare, gener

It's quite relaxing, but I get the impression that's because your mind is filled with "Count to 4"/"Blarg my nose is stuffy"/"Jesus why is holding my breath for 4 seconds so hard"/&quot
