And the original hull wasn't made of a single piece of steel in the first place, it is already a patchwork of steel plates welded together, isn't it? And I think it is assembled as vertical sections like the one being added.

Not sure how the cultural revolution has anything to do with the number of people exposed to be killed in case of failure. In any case that's the worst one but not the only one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o

The energy that killed the most directly is hydro electricity. When a dam fails, it kills thousands to hundreds of thousands.

But my point is that when you have a satellite tracking a slow moving ship every 3-4 hours, it's impossible to hide it.

Plus the ship can't appear suddenly in the middle of the ocean. And where do you hide the original ship?

What I don't get is that RAID5 is a simple xor. It should be a trivial operation, that would be equally trivial to hardware accelerate. What I am the most puzzled by is how parity (i.e. RAID5) is so bad in windows storage space. A mode

In the UK those products are only available to people with a BMI > 30. If you have 20 or 30 kg to lose it is simply not true that most of the weight loss is muscle mass. The fat is visible and the fat loss is also visible. You might lose

Ozempic doesn't make you lose weight unless you do a diet. All it does is to make it easy to do a diet by suppressing the craving for food. So it's not like people are losing weight with ozempic while stuffing themselves with burg

What kind of effort are you talking about? Weight loss has very little to do with exercise and mostly to do with how much you eat. Those drugs allow you to combat the carving when you restrict food. Is fighting the carving the "effort&

The one tools get the most wrong is that there is no escaping of the new line character.

Right, but even for the NASDAQ which took a real bath yesterday, it only went back to where it was a month ago. So it's not really a historical entry point opportunity. Maybe it's the start of a bear market. But if it's not,

On windows, you forget that it wasn't the case historically that windows could run on ARM, and it took years for MSFT to make it work (hence it was a real moat), and now that it works it is a real threat to Intel's grip on the PC

Training those models costs 10s of millions. Running them at scale some order(s) of magnitude that. At one point those AI initiatives will need to return a profit. You really think developers will not have to learn a new API? Users inertia

What moat? I see people reimplementing open source models in a matter of weeks. These are not huge code bases. And when you want to run those models at scale, every cost saving will make big differences given their enormous computing requir

The number of actual refugees in Europe is tiny (ukrainians excluded). What is large is the number of people who pretend to be refugees, like it is at the southern border of the US. And even actual refugees are really economic migrants afte
