I disagree. Fifteen years ago, you absolutely could have written a web crawler that aggregated torrent links, and occasionally picked one and downloaded it. You could even build in an attempt to screen filenames to only download legal conte

Unfortunately, you misheard. It was the Epstein-Trump Motorboating School For Children, and what was taught was...not what you said.

Right but I heard that the recipient of the donation was the Epstein-Trump Boarding School For Children.

The first person hedged their statement with "I heard once" so it's likely true regardless of whether the rest is accurate. In a similar vein it has been said (by me, just now) that DeBeers is actually already out of diamonds

There's absolutely, obviously a place for data centers in our world and country, just like there already has been this entire century so far. The issue right now is the boom of data center building has them being built wherever approva

I didn't find it particularly inaccessible, and I do agree with most of the points made. Maybe try giving it a second pass?

Do you think the dismissive nerd thing is, like, a goal people set out to do? You seem to have spent your time around sufficiently many unpleasant people that you see their behavior everywhere, even when explicitly corrected. I'm sorry

That wasn't my intention. I by no means was suggesting that the trivial solution I, a non-mathematician, thought up in 20 seconds was somehow out of reach to a math professor who spent years on the problem. I knew I was wrong. I didn&#

I certainly would have, had I suggested the problem trivial! I'll keep that in mind for if I suggest things are trivial rather than suggesting I lack understanding. > You also can't generally "and so on" constrained c

Ah. Now that I go through it it makes sense. You're right.

I think I'm having trouble understanding why this is so complicated/requires so many sides. If I imagine a 3-sided die, for simplicity, you should be able to have this result if the sets are [1,5,9],[2,6,7],[3,4,8]. And so on for

If you do even a moment of reading about salmon, you will find that they are extremely sensitive to warm temperatures. Even a couple degrees F above their "normal" will allow disease to run rampant.

That's not what the article says. It says Trump needs the appearance of winning elections, so cancelling is an empty threat. Manufacturing the appearance of winning is the not-empty threat, rather is what TFA is chronicling.

You're replying to someone's personal interpretation and opinion asking about a source? That is the source. Do you not understand how discussions work?

On the contrary I think that's an apt comparison. Look up the history of e.g. the Luddites. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened in human history.

Having stood next to many cars starting after an idle stop, the start is barely louder than the idle. The area under the curve is far smaller for idle start/stop than it is for leaving the vehicle running.

> easily offsets whatever gains are achieved with this nanny tech That's a matter of opinion, which may not be shared by anyone living near places that have seen decreases in noise and air pollution due to idle stop.

Exactly. It's like saying "why would you bother driving your Honda Accord over there, when I could drive my Corvette there in half the time?" It still gets this person to somewhere they weren't.

A solar panel would obviously not cover the usagebof a consumer car while it is being driven. Consumer cars spend most of their time not being driven. If someone commutes 10 miles to work each day, they would nearly never need to charge the

One possible way to do this: rather than simply burning hashes for nothing, Anubis can burn hashes to mine crypto. This way, the bots pay for the infrastructure they consume, at least in part. Combine with heuristics like in the article, so

At this point, "age-old" means "64-bit processors were not the default".

Absolutely. If anything the AI-ness of this article is particularly bad compared to others we've seen recently.

It's also usually not that hard to open the case and remove the physical antennas.

No, that's not correct. The length of time between the spray you mention, and the impact of the water wall, is single digit seconds. It doesn't make a difference.

Only if you round down, because you're right, most internet traffic these days are bots anyway. The bots definitely don't care if you AI generate your writing. Many humans do care if you AI generate your writing, and won't re
