If power use is an issue during heat waves, it means the construction of solar capacity was messed up somewhere in the process. In Poland/EU during summer we have electricity surplus, not deficit.

It seems, according to the article, that the local energy operator is a bigger problem than just growing demand from AI - they don’t seem to manage the energy transformation competently, and the issues began pre-chatbots. “In 2022, PJM stop

I had internet access since 13yo, although it was the internet of 1996, so it was way more basic. And for me it was a place to explore my passions way better than any library in a small city in Poland would allow. And sure - also a ton of t

Did they specialise in adhd? The ones that don’t often give recomendations that are counter productive. Also, a good idea is to explain what you’re experiencing to the paychiatrist - he may recommend different meds or increasing the dosage.

Did you discuss this with psychiatrist/therapist? At least for me this is the pattern I had before I had a good enough dose of meds.

Using computation/algorithmic methods we can simulate nonalgorithmic systems. So the world within a computer program can behave in a nonalgorithmic way. Also, one might argue that universe/laws of physics are computational.

They gave three groups a task if writing an essay - of course the group that uses a tool to write the essay for them will not work out their brain as much. It’s like saying “someone on a bike will not develop their muscles as well as someon

I don't know about Australia, but in Poland, on Easter and Christmass, I can easily believe there would be no single bakery open in the whole country. Also, it was before google maps, so they couldn't just google nearest open bake

Usually, aside from water retention, it’s the appetite, I would assume. Lower metabolic rate by itself would lower the appetite because the person would feel less hungry.

Otoh, if our emissions would be only 1 ton per person per capita, it would bring us close to paris agreement goals. Also, scrubbing 1 ton co2 is around $600 with current tech if I’m not mistaken.

as for the uk train stations, the temperatures are in part due to their age - London Underground was built in 1870s, and since that time rocks accumulated so much heat that it is extremely difficult to maintain human-friendly temperatures.

Not when it comes to math/programming/reasoning. You can generate infinite new problem and solution examples that are based on existing knowledge of course, but build on top of it, not distill it. A simple example would be chess a

Cobol by itself is quite simple, it’s the whole code and architecture that is convoluted. I agree with the others - do whatever you think is fun and inferesting at this age. Too many things will change before you get to the job market. Havi

That is why we have GDPR in Europe, and it severely restricts how personal data is shared across companies. The punishments can be severe, and we have swift institutions that really monitor this. I’m yet to meet a company that doesn’t stres

Hm, what country? In Poland during the last elections the only party that said anything about men’s issues was a far right party (konfederacja). From mid-right I wouldn’t expect a thing, and the main mid-left (KO) had first three sections

Hear hear. (warning - politics below) Although if left tried to frame men’s issues as female issues, I personally would be offended. A better way would be to start with non-controversial male issues (mental help to prevent suicides? homeles

It is how it works. Go to any website with saas. If you mark eu as your country, you will be charged extra for vat. Or, going the other way - if you’re an EU company but your software users are outside EU, you don’t need to charge them VAT.

I had a similar discussion, half-jokingly, about a legal ban on coffee in workplaces. Drinking it is optional, but non drinkers get disadvantaged and really need to join to keep up.

It’s “,” in Poland, and a dot(or apostrophe) as thousands separator. That’s why in region settings on your computer you will find not only date/tome formatting, but also the number format.
