your answer seems very specific on joules. Could you explain your calculations, since I cannot comprehend the mapping of how you would get a liter of gasoline to 16.8m tokens? e.g. does that assume 100% conversion to energy, not taking in

I'm a member of the ACM, so I would report this article. However, I think the author may just have made some mistakes and mixed up/-1'd their references, since the 2023 report is actually #2 2. Di Battista, A., Grayling, S.,

shooting a rifle is "easy" to learn. That's why long guns are used. Hold+brace, point, aim reticle/scope, squeeze. handguns are harder, since you can't brace the stock against your shoulder, but need to learn how

Someone write a novel please. Not sure who will be more appropriate: Stross (more fun?), Stephenson (more of a slog through the first 600 pages, then an abrupt 180 and frenetic action in the last 100 with newly introduced, yet game-changin

I've been toying with getting one of these with 128GB of RAM. What's your opinion (especially since you have compared it to thinkpad/xps)?

I'm not sure about running specifically (nor this mapping of 5 hours to 30 miles, since depending on your capability as a runner, 5 hours could mean 50+ miles), but cyclists, x-country skiers, triathletes[0] etc rack up more than 5 hou

so this is the danger. If you are an expert in the content, you'll realize the AI slop. If you are not an expert, you'll think the AI is amazing, without realizing the slop. I'll rather do without the AI slop, thanks.

go for it (upgrade to linux). My T480s is still my goto laptop when I'm travelling (if I lose it, no biggie - encrypted home dir, meanwhile it can last for 5-7 hours playing videos, running webapps etc), versus my work laptop on windo

not sure how many conferences you have been to, but (1) abstracts are filtered, since conferences probably get 100s of abstracts for every slot they have available, some of which end up being converted to workshops or breakout panel discuss

warning: all tow floats do leak in the storage compartment, especially if you do swim with it (as opposed to sitting on the beach), so if you really intend to put a laptop in, make sure to put it into a proper water tight sleeve/ziploc

still kicking myself for not buying a stainless steel daytona when I had the chance. otoh it's now only x3 the price I would have bought it for, and I probably would have worn it to death, so maybe it was money well not-spent.
