They are incredibly communicative animals. Their problem seems to be that I am a very stupid creature that often does the wrong thing, like not feeding them every time they’re hungry, sitting at a desk instead of playing with them, carrying

Roblox accounts for about 50% of total video game play time, it’s insane how big Roblox is. But not just Roblox. People are spending their time and money elsewhere too. Polymarket and sports betting for one.

Do we actually know that this is the case? Have they released any figures? How much money are they actually losing on the store?

There’s no significant recycling of solar panels because they’re still in operation and don’t need to be recycled. Turns out solar panels last decades with only minor degradation so they haven’t needed to be recycled at scale. They’re almos

The first Clarke I read as a kid and still one of my favourites. It hasn’t aged well, not least because it was written before we landed on the moon and now know its surface isn’t like that.

I think the problem with SAT solvers is that they’re complicated, in terms of computation and also how easy it is to understand by someone who didn’t study formal methods. WFC is brute-force-simple, but because it’s simple it’s quite comput

Their credibility and experience makes it more likely that they will have followed scientific procedures correctly, that their measuring techniques will not have obvious flaws and their findings reflect the evidence. This is not an appeal t

It’s bad at it. At least, it can’t be guaranteed to get nuance or context correct in a way that doesn’t feel artificial to a fluent speaker. My favourite example I saw was where Google translated an information page of the Italian branch of

I was annoyed the other day when Reddit asked for age verification (via a Palantir-run service, no less) for my 18-year-old Reddit account. Obviously no way I’m doing that. In any case I doubt there’s a proof of age stronger than looking at

Photons are generated in the star’s core but the core is dense. The photons move around the core, bouncing off other particles, a random walk. It takes a vast amount of time for that photon to escape the sun and reach the Earth, as per mont

Worth mentioning that 16-year-olds will be able to vote in the next general election. Hopefully they will use that vote.

I’ve used that app for some time but unfortunately it relies on user reporting, and the prices can be days or weeks out of date.

The typical use case is probably much more like deciding which station within half a mile of home is cheapest, and that could easily be a variance of 5p or more.

It’s easy to see that the surface of the earth is a ball - or at least a curved surface - simply by going to the seaside and watching ships dip below the horizon before they fully disappear. The ancient Greeks proved it was a ball and mea
