You're right, there's no way they would not tout the "15% grade" of the actual ore, if by some miracle there was 3.14% grade the entirety of their staked land. Ore is by definition the "economically feasible/in

This story was posted on HN a couple months ago, there is a push right now for use of a somewhat novel technique to drill extremely deep holes, producing geothermal power anywhere on the planet, with several commercial ventures in their ear

If the author is here, please look into getting a first rib resection for your TOS. I had my right side done in January and the other will follow in October. My symptoms (and risk of a pulmonary embolism) have disappeared. Check if yours is

How many warnings did you get regarding rule violations? Anything involving violence risks triggering the flag, and it sounds like your battle scenes would have been a bit iffy. In my own experience I find DALLE2 pretty heavy-handed with it

This was a fascinating read, thank you for sharing. Were there really no lasting effects? I'm curious why the introduced bacteria didn't flourish and permanently change your microbiome. Can anybody weigh in?

Obviously it's not been exposed, yet. That said, I think it's pretty safe to assume in the post-lavabit world that these companies are fronts for Western intelligence. We clearly don't live in a world that respects privacy an

I'm looking at getting a new portable device at the end of the year as my nearly 11 year old Y580 IdeaPad continues to fall apart. I feel like it's between Framework and an iPad pro. It's a little dumb but the amount of conte

While figuring things out you might consider ordering a couple weeks supply of Soylent or a competitor. They're palatable enough, very convenient, and importantly for you (and past me) is that while you're figuring out what you wa

Good initiative, but there are hundreds of used languages, I hope they put a bit more effort into it than just testing the English dates cases. I caught one bad example, for any French speakers, in the article itself: and MARS tweaked to MA

There are so many excellent, thought-provoking comments in this thread, but yours caught me especially. Something that came to mind immediately upon reading the release was the potential for this technology to transform literature, adding A

Not that it's impossible to hide the provenance of an image, but it is explicitly forbidden in the TOS of DALL-E to sell the images as NFTs or otherwise.

I think this is really neat, but definitely not on the same tier as DALL-E 2, at least from the cherry-picked images I saw.

For now, at least. I imagine they'll have caught up before too many generations. Samsung clearly has the resources to keep up.

True, but the release did say they are recovering all precious metals, not just gold.

I've been on CalyxOS with MicroG for a couple months now and unfortunately have had several apps which did not get along with MicroG. It's too bad but it's a decent compromise so far.

For sure, but have you tried an even partially de-googled phone? It's not as simple as not using gmail and google maps. Lots of apps don't like MicroG, and MicroG free Android results in a small percentage of apps working. Google

What I find shockingly absent in this article is any commentary on budget and cost overruns. I'm definitely not anti-nuclear but it stands to reason that a comparison vs other forms of energy would've been wise to consider.
