Why does the federal government even need to approve a new power plant, solar or otherwise ? As long as it is done to code, legalize building! I see that they provided 800ha of federal land, that may be why.

These are pretty imaginative. I like the macOS update screen that fails to a kernel panic if you click it. That would get me pretty good.

"Why? I'd rather corporations spend money on RND than the Gov on programs." R&D would get us fastest nice things like space colonization, longevity, megastructures, the next step on the Kardashev scale.

Hopefully the matmul implementation can check matrix size and pick the algorithm to use from that. I think some may already do this.

I think the way it'll go is: it'll be implemented in Fotran, BLAS and so on until it percolates to numpy / CUDA so mortals like us can use it.

When living in an expensive area, one doesn't have to wonder if it's a desirable area. It's obvious it is, look how expensive it is. We copy what others want, a lot, unconsciously.

The high obesity rate is both caused and causing the lower testosterone. Endocrine disruptors (estrogen-like chemicals everywhere, not just in foods, originating from plastic manufacture, among others) are the biggest suspect IMO. They&#x27

This study does not address hormonal changes, but I'd like to see the secular testosterone decline studied. Testosterone directly mediates sexual desire, so that should play a role.

One can observe that the first is a special case of the second, through the transformation of negation ("choose which two of your arm, your leg or your other arm to keep"). We can unify both under this system.

The ignition can only take place after the mound has been ripped apart and a lot of gas has escaped and mixed with oxygen. There's no oxygen in the underground gas pocket.

Yes, this is commonly done in areas where land is cheap, I'm thinking of rural train station parking lots, regional and small airport parking lots.

Engineers, with contracts or not, have about 2200-2500 hours to spend per year. Those hours can presumably be allocated to this task (that doesn't add any new capability) or to a task that adds capabilities (which will bring in new rev
