Maybe I should get a few and make a water heater around them and rent out the compute power for a double whammy.

If the goal is heating, you'd be better off with a heat pump, to get 300% or more of the input energy back as heat. Doesn't do computation as a side effect though.

The societal change to do this 'properly' in your terms, how can this be achieved? I've come up with the more or less same solution, but I don't see it happening.

That won't make the sentiment go away. Over the last years, we've had various right-wing parties getting a lot of votes as the next savior of right-wing voter: FvD, then BBB and now again PVV. FvD became conspiracy loonies, BBB v

The cookie warnings are a result of companies not taking a pretty obvious hint: don't do tracking.

Recently came across https://www.warp.dev/ on HN, which includes a AI part for your terminal. That's a paid feature running nonlocal, but it's a start I suppose.

Are those not afraid of GPS spoofing either? Spoof GPS near a big CNC machine shop that a big competitor relies on, disable their machines...

> Keeping things documented is part of the work, and if it isn't done, then the work is not completed. Absolutely. Part of reviewing is checking that the eg. README is up to date and works as expected.

I did not expect to read about the LHC in such an 'old' document. I couldn't find (in the time I was willing to spend during work) when the LHC project started to this already be relevant in 1990 (20 years before it started,

From top of my head: my grandma used to have one. There was always a little flame running for safety in case of leaks, but when she used hoy water, I think the geyser just heated it on the go, instead of preheating a reservoir. Could be wro

Was watching Bron/The Bridge some time ago. Danish sounds like gibberish indeed, but then again "We hebben een serieus probleem" was a meme a little while back.

That is a perfect translation! A a Dutch guy, I have the same with Norwegian, Swedish and maybe Danish: I can skim the headlines in newspapers and figure out what it's about.

Only when there is so much critical mass behind all of it's competitors that they can't ignore it any longer. Improbably, for the time being. I was going to say that Microsoft has no social network, so that this might open them up

One station would always have to be closer to the sun, which means it should go faster than the other stations. So it gets out of formation.

So, it still landed, upright no less, with a piece of the rotor blade missing? I'd guess that when a piece of rotor comes off during flight, the imbalance would make landing impossible. Very curious to what happened, but probably we&#x

The rotors will be unbalanced (even if the other side also broke off, chances of the same amount breaking of are as remote as the thing itself), so it will vibrate and probably tip over if it spins too hard

There is an idea for a reverse reservoir: https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Lievense Make a dike ring in eg. the north sea, pump water out of the ring into the rest of the North Sea to store power, and vice versa to

Are there any 'smart' appliances that can respond to what is happening in the pot? If the recipe says 'bring to boil, then simmer', then I want the smart stove to do that ~10 kW at first and automagically lower the power

I wonder how Ultimaker fits into this picture. They were an early pioneer in 3D printing, had all of their stuff open source and most of it still IIRC, but pivoted from the consumer market to more business users, with a bunch of services on
