There you go. Not to doubt what you say, but we definitely had the love seat yet we also had a tank of vaguely flourescing green liquid. Maybe we had some intermediate state, the cray-1 cpu form but the cray-2 upgraded coolant. It wouldn&#x

to deploy a 2nd hand Cray-1 at UQ, we had to raise the ex-IBM 3033 floor, it turned out the bend radius for flourinert was NOT the same as a water cooled machine. We also installed a voltage re-generator which is basically a huge spinning m

Without wishing to doxx you, if we don't know the approximate period in years we cannot tell if this is good or bad profit. If you started when you were 13 in 2004, this means they made significantly less than $1k/year from you, a

All DCs should be assessed for their impact on power supply and related utilities, and regulated to reduce impact on the community. All of them. There's some potential to use aspects of temperature control to manage power if you can e.

Douglas Mawson ("home of the blizzard") had a rich life after Antartica as a field geologist, exploring the flinders ranges. He found a radium mine and was shipping ore to Europe for a while. He led students on field trips, one of

Facilitated communication takes many forms. Evidence of intentionality in the painting would demand a well structured experiment.

I did marine biology field work almost 5 decades ago as a lowly junior lab tech. Work always has downsides, for me it was not really the Scots winter, cold feed, chapped hands, the land-rover having to reverse up steep icy roads to get back

The article said (if I read it right) direct application of the algae demanded high pressure pumps and so power, and water and came with downside costs. They seem to be packaging the algae into balls/pellets with a lot of other organic

Some weighting would help. If you manage two, and don't invoke the fourth, are you above or below the risk line? And, presumably there is a strong genetic element.

I think this is a good move for Apple. It avoids tying them directly to internalised beliefs in their own AI model, it avoids all the capex around building out an AI engine and associated DC, it reduces risk, and it keeps google in a relati

If you have compliance for contractual reasons (e/g you are the supply chain for an entity which has been declared to be a national-strategic service delivery) then this would probably help get you over the line to meet minimum proofs

I don't expect FSD any time soon. I think its bunkum. But assistive devices are well embedded. reversing tones. rear vision cameras. So, adding something which can do side knock, pavement risk, sideswipe, blind spot, or 'pace to c

Felt to me like there's more than just criminality caught up in this one. The offendor had some pretty serious issues backing up and trying again, and again, and again.

Yes. thats broadly what I think people will be doing. My concern was, under 30% to 80% packetloss, how well this works. I think the answer is, if you want to get media out, it works well enough, given enough time. I would be surprised if GP

Their decision to code CSAM "pink detecting" logic and deploy, hurt them. It hurt in terms of reputation, it hurt in terms of lost sales, and development costs which couldn't be recovered. I wasn't discussing hurt to use

Live cell imaging is fascinating. I grew up on b&w films of mitosis, and now people can visualise events at the single protein level. Cells are also fascinating. It pays not to think of them as wet bags of fluid: wet and dry don't

Under packetloss my assumption is text is king, but I wonder if forward error correcting audio and video is actually better in some ways? Media is information rich. Maybe we're beyond a samzdat moment and the value in comms is contextu

The NIH/RECOVER programme and equivalents worldwide provide a path to treatment for ME/CFS. Prior to covid, substantive funding for ME research was too small to explore disease pathways and diagnostics. Many ME sufferers were told

All kinds of things could be said about the second order effects of them booting an app, and most of them do ultimately involve the threat aspect of state actors or other rich VC class people and what they do. I think we tend to forget, tha

Part of the concern is the structural opposition to clarity in a response. I don't know if this runs along party lines, or interpersonal relationships, or a state/national funding issue in public health, but something about how th

Fair. I suspect it's impossible for a Pahlavi to be a unifying figure, but stranger things have happened.

Many people believe running fibre between buildings, even in ducts, is safer than running copper because you get opto-isolation from lightning. The second thing is that domestic buildings usually do not come with a consistent ground plane.

Given pandoc, as well as Emacs export tools if you stick to a minimum, you generally can move between a lot of formats freely. If I live in org mode for work tracking, I can also be in README.md trivially.

It seems to me there's lots of evidence they fear this and little evidence it's justified. I think modern systems are viewed as constrained platforms and the fear at a structural level is people doing interesting unconstrained thi

I would personally continue to own and buy Mac hardware, if they opened up the platform. I don't see any specific value as a mac, being closed hardware. I do see how an integrated vertical market suits the predominantly ipad and iPhone

I don't particularly like the source, but it's important to not let the source affect the story when the source isn't distorting the story, and although this is a tory rag, it isn't distorting this story. I think this is
