my mistake, I swapped the 38tb and 112tb from parent comment whatever the download size is, you're bottlenecked by the remote server's up speed
845.
by permo-w 3y ago
with a 1Gbps connection you're still looking at ~248 hours to download, and that's if the remote server can keep up, which it almost certainly can't this is assuming by 1Gbps you mean 1 Gigabit/s rather than 1 Gigabyte&#

news agencies may well be full of real normal people with interests roughly aligned with the common man, but they're owned by strange rich people with interests usually completely at odds with those of the common man. the issue isn&#x2

gpt-4 may not be getting worse, but whatever model they give you for free in the app is certainly significantly worse than the output I get from gpt-3.5-turbo via the API. ask it to answer anything complex and it will just give you a verbos

this is what life on earth does. it's not some kind of wacky googly eyes rube goldberg machine, it's what plants and animals have been doing for hundreds of millions of years. carbon capture's job is to refine and accelerate

if Earth sqm = 2^49: to address a single metre, we'd need 49 bits. log_10(2^49) = 14.75 so we'd need 15 spoken decimal digits for 1 sqm. for 8m do log_10(2^47)

if you solve carbon capture, you solve the problem. efficiency cannot be permanently solved. efficiency is still worth seeking, but if you solve carbon capture you don't have to bother with efficiency for CO2 to be captured, you need s

there are a lot of people arguing strongly for one xor the other. reduction in harm and reduction in use are both good things. neither need to be prioritised more than the other. however, one is easier to legislate for

it's influential due to the influential people on HN. your "average Joe" is irrelevant to that

I would be surprised if that were true. there are some very influential people on HN

Firefox's branding has always felt a little unusual to me. not as bad as some other popular free apps (SumatraPDF, VLC) but perhaps that subconsciously puts people off? Chrome has always looked and sounded quite clean and cool in compa

I'm sure it's different, but is it as different as say, Italy is to Germany? or Portugal to England? or Estonia to France? I have no trouble believing that American states have noticeably different cultures, but drastically?

poor implementation aside, the format has its advantages over numerical coordinates besides the greater public awareness of w3w amongst certain demographics compared to coordinates, they may be harder to hear, but it's much easier to
