Not everything is A therefore B in our body's homeostasis. Well perhaps completely overindulging it gets to that point. But I think the idea is the effect can be there even if overused slightly.

The Seebeck effect will definitely have less than 8% efficiency with 80C water. Perhaps GP means that the hot water will already be available to use for hygiene and laundry, which for those with an electric water heater, is a large portion

I think what is missing (and I'm stretching my understanding here) is the right doping mixture and crystal structure to get a high enough efficiency of emissions from the junctions.

As an addendum - a fair portion here should be in one way or another familiar with Ilya Repin's Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks (aka Zaporozhian Cossacks are Writing a Letter to the Turkish Sultan) https://en.m.wikipedia.o

Fun fact - this was painted about 8 to 10 years after the abolition of serfdom in the Russian Empire. Coincidentally, it happened two years prior to the US Emancipation Proclamation. I've wondered from time to time how linked the two e

I do, because there is an entire generation steeped in understanding of climate change already taking up policital roles. Minds may be changing (but not fast enough) so intead the politicians changing will be what saves us.

If policies don't drastically change. Just imagine norwegian electric car subsidies but happening everywhere decades straight - for solar, wind, tidal, battery, pumped water stations, sand batteries. Perhaps a Sahara -> Europe sol

I'll be honest I haven't seeked out how Watson X is being projected externally, and don't know much about the details internally - it's being driven by a different division of the company. So even if I were in the positi

I think it's not accurate to call their architecture a cluster of machines. Either way I'm not referring to Linux as an OS - it is really the only choice for enterprise scale computing. Regardless of what architectures supercomput

Full disclosure, IBM Systems employee here. I honestly think the server and mainframe development will remain regardless of what else happens. There's a niche between linux x86 box and supercomputer that won't likely disappear.

You know, it occurs to me that part of their reluctance to jump in and help is that they know they have painted targets on their backs and that some people won't pass up an opportunity at a swing in the close confines of a crowd. They

I believe walking is as important as meditation for self-regulation of organ systems (including brain and heart).

Wow. Such a better illustration to compare 4 days to 3170 years than comparing 2.73 nanoseconds to a femtosecond. It makes me realize how linear my in-the-moment imagination of nano to femto is.

I think there is a key difference in magnitudes of ion concentration vs time. At this scale, a faster detector seems to be comparatively less trivial than a more sensitive one.

I think you might have miscompared to a day instead of a second? Unless I missed something. But you're right that if we were to be observing the administratium reaction over one millisecond in the slowed scenario, it would take 2.73 na

Luckily, those urban green spaces have a similar positive effect on our systems as a full forest would. Separately, I would like to point to a place like Prospect Park in NYC, where one can find themselves in the equivalent of a new growth

For me the use case is asking a local LLM questions about an invention I'm working on, as with ChatGPT I can't be confident the ideas don't make their way into the model. I'm able to run some 13B 5Q models, in my opinion

Would that be good feedback then? To implement those features into the library because ChatGPT expecting to be able to use them may be akin to it expecting a human to likely use them. Or not really?

Tangentially, I have geneology gaps due to WW2. My great-grandfathers perished defending unknown cities with the Soviet Army. Afaik one was sent to take out tanks with improvized AT weapons at best, the other I know nothing of. During the B

So they will peacefully fall into sleep due to hypoxia instead of a slowly rising sense of impending doom as would result from rising C02 levels.
