A couple of guys doing cool stuff in a lab is how progress is made. If we stopped people like Tesla, Newton, and Faraday because “candles are readily available and whale oil is a natural resource” we wouldn’t have any of the tech we take for granted today.
This discovery is super cool, like imagine its applications in walkable cities where the entire pedestrian pathway is also storing energy from wind and solar
“non-empire”
Crimea and Ukraine might contest that
I am apparently unhirable as an IT manager because I only have 8 years of experience and Sec+, and not 15 years and scrum and agile certs
Lycoris Recoil is doing something similar. Seems like a smart way to keep people engaged and show the studio that the numbers are strong enough to keep the show alive, but I am a little concerned that the studios might start pivoting to shorter form productions to cut costs
In my experience the bot and scam scripts have become refined enough to seem exactly like a pretty disengaged or disenchanted user, or someone not confident in what they’re doing. It’s led to some awkward moments when I suddenly send “BOT CHECK”
I found math in physics to have this really fun duality of “these are rigorous rules that must be followed” and “if we make a set of edge case assumptions, we can fit the square peg in the round hole”
Also I will always treat the derivative operator as a fraction
The dissent doesn’t “reveal concerns.” Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor have been very vocal about these issues for months, since last summer at least. I wish the news would stop with this limpdick rhetoric. We are in a fucking crisis, act like it
Oooohhhhh right, I forgot about that bit of Lemmy lore. Better to leave well enough alone then, eh
Solid crosspost material for !shera@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Looks like the swedish meatballs I had in Stockholm. They told me it was a national specialty, but I think they just wanted to sell them and I, an ignorant American, bought it
I do not understand how people can have so much fucking money and not want to actually help people with it. But maybe that’s why I’m poor
Unironically, for sure
Knew this big 6foot+ guy who loaded 9mm extra spicy. Fired two of his reloads and then switched ammo. Pretty sure he blew up 2 or 3 guns
Just want to let you know that I enjoyed watching your edits update in real time
Also there’s something to be said for taste. Some people just want action and flashing lights, an exciting distraction from life. Other people (I include myself) want interesting and well-written stories that make you feel and think. Part of the problem is that major production studios don’t want to take a risk on a new kind of story or writing style and keep pushing out whatever formula they’ve recently seen get sales. Marvel is a prime example. Almost every movie feels exactly the same, except a few characters and personalities change.
I never spent enough time on YouTube for it to develop its algorithm for me. I watch like 2 videos a week maybe, usually searching for something specific, and most of the recs for me have always been obscure clickbait I’m not interested in seeing
I see no problem with this, what with all the recommended slop
Yeah I was passed the return date and a state away when I caught the issue
They found a way to create a high surface area capacitor made largely from abundant resources. Even a proof of concept is a discovery. We may not see it in practice in our lifetimes because science and industry take time, but that doesn’t diminish the value at all.
Why is this a false equivalence? I’m not saying this is the next Faraday. I’m comparing contemporaries. You can’t know what technologies will make what kind of difference in the future, but there’s no harm in being excited about our interested in them and their possibilities. I think my comparisons are fair, especially if you consider the technology of each contemporary era. What about Turing? He created a mechanical computational machine and extrapolated the future possibility of machines that could mimic human communication. That is absolutely an edge case assumption given the technology of the time and yet here we are with LLMs running rampant.
