   Your AI will end up twice as intelligent - eventually. Were it to improve by 0.5, then 0.333, then 0.25, then 0.2 and so on would be an entirely different matter!

    There is a section of the drum that opens and closes. You rotate the drum to align the opening of the outer shell on the top, also protected by a door.

    It should get noisy and rotate less freely then ultimately seize up. From there it depends on the drive type, in direct drives the motor burns, in belt drives the belt gets worn.

    The main bearing has an unfortunate position in that it has to hold up the weight of the drum + clothes on one side and so experiences uneven wear.

    What is the name of those "top loaders" that also have a horizontal drum with a locking escape hatch on the side? My mind went immediately to those when seeing the word.

    I found a DOS version of IDA Freeware from 1997 recently; it uses a Turbo Vision(-based? -like?) UI. A little bit cramped for my taste :)

    I'm fairly certain "www.canon" resolved to Canon's website at some point (where "some point" is the introduction of domain, 2015), and was not just a hypothetical address: - https://icannwiki.org&#x2

    I always wondered who is watching this stuff happen. The 2013 drop was "televised" according to the article (they pointed a webcam at it) - in all other cases, did they just shut the lights on the experiment only to find the drop

    I think you are talking about the Venturer simulators. It looks like it lives on as two-player cabins named Venturer S2 for the arcade; I can't find what the model number for the "bus sized" version (could hold 14 people) was

    That "mental handle" makes it way too easy to push or pull on the "mental door" behind which the concept lies. "That's an XY problem".

    Embedded tweets are on the same level of annoyance. The introduction blurb and connecting sentences could be reduced to an <hr> tag so entire articles become a series of tweets and videos back-to-back.

    Crypto is/could be still fine, it will still make it harder for others to see the contents of the conversation that is going on between the two machines. What you are losing is the modicum of confidence that a website is the real deal
