This isn't a serious problem in LEO. Absolute worst case scenario from starlink is we decide there's too much space crap and we wait 5 years for LEO to clear out.

My i9-12900k hovers right around 250W TDP with no overclocking or anything. If you keep it under 100C it's happy to do so.

Correct, that is an accurate characterization of my belief. Compare to your original comment: > I think what you mean is that people are calling for internet platforms to kick out certain groups. This is in no way a call against freedom

No. Europeans are pretty poor compared to Americans, so it's not worth going out of your way to scrounge for a few relatively low-return clicks, especially given the legal risk.

Top 99% of US water quality is better than many European countries. Only a few extremely shitty cities have serious water problems like this.

The point is that your model of "freedom of speech" being usefully definable as a narrow legal constraint is about 50 years out of date with respect to the current censorship meta. "Government can't throw you in jail for

What is your understanding of the "Don't Say Gay" (so named by its opponents) law? Are you under the impression it prevents people from saying "Gay", for example?

"Freedom of speech" does not mean "the cathedral is allowed to do anything short of putting you in jail to censor and punish your speech". "Freedom of speech" does not just refer to a specific narrowly-defined

In theory, we're still well below the diffraction limit even at f/4. Aberration, depends on the lens. Plus, superior lowpass filtering in software.

That claim doesn't make sense. Their sensors are just sony sensors with a different bayer pattern. The only way that puts them behind is somewhat inferior support for their bayer pattern in RAW editing software. In any case, you'r

Fuji has some nice lenses that can use it, and there are some secondary benefits like software low-pass filtering (which has superior falloff compared to extant optical low-pass filtering tech).

The 48mp sensor on the iPhone seems like a gimmick - even with purely diffraction-limited optics, I doubt you could seriously increase optical bandwidth at that sensor size beyond, say, 10-20Mp, to say nothing of aberration limiting and sho

The initial analogy in this video is totally useless. In general, though, the water analogy is actually quite good. The electron gas in conductors behaves a lot like a normal fluid. It easily covers linear components like resistors, inducto

It's not clear to me that VMs actually do offer better isolation than well-designed containers (i.e. not docker). It's basically a question of: do you trust the safety of kernel-mode drivers (for e.g. PV network devices or emulate
