   The opening scene in their Steam page is Hamas fighters dropping down into Israel (flags visible) with paragliders. I don't have a side here but that is in really bad taste, and not comparable to any other mainstream shooter.

   Does this mean LLMs might do better if trained on large amounts of student notes, exams, book reviews and such? That would be incredibly interesting.

   A single 20km round trip can probably offset a hundred deliveries made by a van that is on a semi-fixed route.

   You could, and the tasks would run concurrently. Node is single threaded so unless you used one of the I/O calls backed by a thread pool, they would all execute sequentially .

   This comparison is absolute crap, there is no concurrent work being done. The NodeJS example is not even doing anything besides storing an array of promises which will get resolved all in one tick later.

    I bought this in their pre-release sale and sold it immediately after the first day. It’s incredibly large and heavy, cheap keycaps, action doesn’t really feel nice for typing, latency was high, wired only, and I could not find a good use

    They are right, though, aren’t they? We came up with these regulations and international agreements for a reason. If they ignore war crimes, their authority loses meaning, but if they pass judgment that we know is going to be completely ign

    I was surprised to learn that, besides the environmental impact of the leftover fuel - though methane is the least toxic of them, and decomposing electronics, the metal rocket body itself can be a boost for marine life and corals by serving

    You seem quite eager to recreate gulags. This is not what most people consider an acceptable 'solution'. In fact, if you're going this far, it would be considered more humane to wipe them out with a nuke.

    That report says averages are $1381/month (120k RMB/year) for "non-private" employees, $800 for private (?), $3000/month in IT, $1500/month in mining. You happened to pick the lowest number. There seem to be wi

    May I suggest replacing the URL with the actual article at https://www.motor1.com/news/740524/suzuki-dzire-five-stars-c... The current link is an ad-infested repost.

    Which is about the same a factory worker in Mexico, building the Ford Mach-E, makes. I imagine the purchasing power in China will be a lot higher. China currently has multiple times higher costs than countries like Vietnam. Cheap labour is

    The current average monthly salary in China is $3000-$4000 US dollars. This is not about cheap labour anymore but simple economies of scale. The whole talk about subsidies is pure smoke screen. US automakers have received a lot more subsidi

    This thread started as question on how MacOS is more efficient, not the usefulness of more RAM. In any case, you might still benefit from the substantial increase in bandwidth and lower system / built-in apps memory usage, plus memory

    In cases like this won't Chaos Monkey actually hide the problem, since it's basically doing exactly the same as their mitigation strategy - randomly restarting services?

    System design and stability. On MacOS a lot is shared between applications compared to the average Linux app. Dynamic linking has fallen out of favor in Linux recently [1], and the fragmentation in the ecosystem means apps have to deal with

    Repeating what I just commented elsewhere, but Mac uses several advanced memory management features: apps can share read-only memory for common frameworks, it will compress memory instead of paging out, better memory allocation, less fragme

    Memory usage is not comparable across Linux and Mac. MacOS is much better at avoiding swap, uses memory compression, shared frameworks etc. At the same time it tries to use all the memory available which makes direct system-wide comparisons

    It does work like that in practice though. There’s is absolutely no reason to fully shut down instead of standby.

    What was your intended use for the split screen? It sounds like you wanted a tablet with an e-ink screen, which the Remarkable is ostensibly not. I bought my R2 originally with the same mindset, of jailbreaking it to run custom apps, but en

    The article says > which means they share a quantum connection enabling instant correlations, no matter the distance But per your response this is not true, i.e. information transmission is still limited by the speed of light?

    It’s all about latency. Even simple dynamically rendered websites can be much faster when you avoid multiple roundtrips to a far away DC.

    I have the impression there isn’t anything you can mix with water that would raise the boiling point more than a few degrees. You need pressure to go beyond, which a potato most definitely does not provide. Since the evaporating water becom
