Being a dishwasher “was the first time I went home proud of myself after a day's work.” I can relate, I spent a high-school summer dishwashing at a hotel, pretty much my first full-time job, and learned what hard work and long

yes, coulda. But why not just rent a boat with sonar, in good shape, with safe dive platform, etc. Only one culprit ticks all the boxes from a crimonology pov, and none of the others really make much sense. Why, really, would Ukraine destro

That second one seems to have a screen twice as high as the keyboard is deep, so when you fold it, the k/b only covers half the screen? That's just weird. I'd like to see a short-wide-screen form-factor, where the folded devi

Yes the OP article and this whole argument seems like whitewash to me - a ragtag team of Ukrainian divers on a vacation charter yatch that doesn't even have sonar... planting 4 large explosives precicesly, at 80m depths? nope Any crimi

I would be more interested to see how modern techniques could improve the then-state of the art. A lot of the modern stack is layers of abstraction, which probably wouldn't be appropriate for such limited machines, but maybe superoptim

ChatGPT is going to lend credibility and motivation to all manner of crackpot cosmic theories and theorists. Perhaps some of them might actually be inspiration for genuine breakthroughs. Perhaps.

Where does inflation come from? It is in fact the deliberate increase in the money supply in order to match the growth in economic activity. The purpose is to keep prices from spiraling out of control (same money, more things to spend it on
