Even if it's all computation, it might be worth it to distinguish sentient and not sentient computations. I think trying to arrive to it by examining particles is a detour at best.

What about looking on these tasks through the lens of negentropy? As in how much effort is needed to go from disorder to order. One can reasonably say the negentropy of collecting little pieces scattered on the ground into a bag is low, eve

Physical processes are very often long tailed on the wrong end and thus adversarial though.

If it isn't offline first, sorry, not want it. But maybe I'm not anybody's target audience.

For most people, especially the target audience of the article, it makes sense to at least try. Most people don't match Pantone colors or deal with $1k/month macro packages.

With persistent refusal of C programmers to adopt a concept of buffer - pointer + length with bounds checks enforced at runtime and as a standard preferred over naked pointers, it is more like hidden lead that poisoned everything. Complete

But "just store more fuel" means adding more containers with larger quantities of flammable material, how can it be done without increasing the cost of equipment? That's the issue here. Maaybe if they directly used the iron o

You are betting against batteries? That's becoming risky, Na-ion has the potential to be literally as cheap as dirt. And they are not flammable.

That means it has only 1 chance per year to recoup the investment. And that requires exorbitant energy spot selling price, which too rarely happens to rely on. The economics just isn't there.

If it has 33% net efficiency that sets it back 3 times compared to batteries right from the outset. With stainless steel pressure vessels needed here and hydrogen precautions, not holding my breath.

It is, water electrolysis is surprisingly fickle process.

You imply just buying a property and building a datacenter in it automatically includes government approvals to release anything you want to air and groundwater? You can't be serious.

Yes, if there were no IP anyone could cheaply make a single-digit-nanometer-node custom ASIC to provide the alternative 4K-capable video hardware implementation. /s

No math. Only noticed 210-Pb has half life 22 years and thus can cumulate.

by rini17 2y ago
Radon decays into other longer lived radioactive elements, mostly isotopes of lead, which then condense down as dust and cause more problems than radon itself. So it might happen that these cumulate in the attic if circulation is just right

I looked into it (as part of optimizing LLM memory throughput) and hugepage file-backed maps aren't supported under linux. Only anonymous mappings.

If I had not learned about PDA(Pathological Demand Avoidance) and that I appear to be suffering from milder version of it, I would have no idea how strong the drive for autonomy can be. And in moderation, it's very healthy part of huma

Depends whether the landscape is prone to inversions. They happen most often in wide and enclosed valleys.

Idk, they have pushed hydrogen for long time and recently want to go into anhydrous ammonia or something even more brillianter.

And it means extracting the kinetic energy in this scenario is not worth it, you won't recoup the cost of turbine. Only advantage of placing electrolyte above the cell might be that you don't need to pump it when discharging, only

Uphill water storage has little energy density, you need huge reservoir to get useful amounts of energy.

You imply they have put in place any contingencies/enforcement against non-cooperating companies? I don't expect that wil be shown in the case. The advertisers just got together to define voluntary guidelines where to advertise an

But "just to have an option" isn't how it's usually presented. Besides, no one appears to realize gas supply will vanish first in case of crisis, it did once happen already in Europe. Electricity usually gets cut later,

This is a nonproblem inflated by petrolheads routinely doing 1000 kilometers in one go, which are overrepresented among journalists. Most people don't do that and are doing longer stops at least twice, vacations make that even more lik

Are you saying competitors serving same market segment must not come to the same conclusions so as to where to advertise and where not? Because that would be political?

Fish and seafood can be refrigerated. Tomatoes can't, they completely lose their aroma.

Strictly siloing maintenance away from sales and development is boneheaded clearly, not allegedly.
