To my understanding that's only if you're trying to quantize the graviton as an emergent particle. I'm personally of the belief that spacetime itself is an emergent phenomena https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

It's insane how common they are in Seattle. They look super sleek but their specs aren't actually all that good. I ended up going with juiced instead for less than half the price because it's pretty much all easily maintaina

Yes, but more by Russia than the US. We enacted a ton of disarmament treaties. Who the hell wants to invade Russia? Who the heck is threatened by them? No one's coming for them, they don't need the nukes.

Iirc there were 8 chiplets on the cell die, one was disabled for yield rate and one was dedicated to the os itself, leaving 6 of them for gaming. Then they had the super riced out rsx (Nvidia GeForce 7000 series) for the GPU, but there wasn

I'm definitely into the "it's an emergent phenomena" camp. I think it's inherently relational, as that's a more efficient way to encode geometry rather than space itself being a quantized "thing". Af

What non-transparent GIL specific behavior are developers relying on exactly? When I say GIL specific behavior, I mean "python code that specifically requires a GLOBAL interpreter lock to function properly" Not something that simp

> Python is a single-threaded language. That’s part of its DNA. Boooo. Maybe if all you do is ops scripts, but for those of us in data science this couldn't be further from the truth imo. I'm not saying the syntax is easy for

I'm simultaneously scared and enlightened seeing all these comments acting as if the GIL is some magic "makes your code thread/concurrency safe" pancea. I always saw it as a shim/hack to make cpython specifically e

I think part of it is how isolated the us is. We don't really have walkable neighborhoods in most of the country, which means less spur of the moment decisions to gather at a social place and more isolation since so many people are co

Nope. Starlink shuts down over china on the satellite side. Tesla has a huge presence there and they also threatened to shoot the satellites down (which they've done before) if starlink provided internet access there

Iirc most of the devs are building the features that users actively hate like like chats and live streams etc. The tiktokification. Also, ads, of course. Still though yeah I'd imagine a minority of that number are devs.

"transactions" do give that feature, but related to the nix/emacs discussion above, my gripe is that every rdbms seems to do it differently. That said I forgot how overloaded the term "transactions" is and most kind
