  • New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer

  • This is a very dangerous way of thinking. You cannot tell at the time of discovery if specific research will be useful or not down the line. You need to advance the research in all directions, even if some of them seem silly or useless, or else you will handicap your progress in other fields which you didn't see the connection with at first.

  • It’s important to take breaks and observe local flora occasionally.

  • Jade plants were very popular as house plant in the soviet union, everyone had one at home. This could be a reason why AI got confused there

  • Never store gerbils up your ass, we went over this!

  • Hydrogen Sulfide can damage concrete, not sure about the chair tho

  • OK, which one of you is it

  • It's the other way around, you will get all of the tickets which are missing plate info. Some guy did it and regrets it, there is a documentary about it.

  • I remember when Falkon 9 was doing its first landings, the whole YouTube comments section was filled with flat earthers claiming it's a CGI. Now you can take a car and go watch landings in person, I wonder where all those people went.

  • The same law which makes gun recoil happen. If you fire a pistol in vacuum you would still get the same recoil or even stronger. The rocket engine fires a lot of gas molecules instead of bullets at much higher velocity than a bullet, which gives it the constant push/recoil

  • There are cases when electricians working on the street to restore power get shocked by some house generator feeding power back to the grid.

  • Centrifuge spins really fast so you need to balance where you put the samples, or else it will vibrate. The trick is to put them on the opposite side or equally spaced apart from each other.

  • I can't quite understand what is your point? Are you arguing that both JVM and WASM are bad? With this I agree, they both have terrible performance and in an ideal world we wouldn't use any of them.

    Are you arguing that JVM bytecode is better than WASM? That's objectively not true. One example is a function pointer in C. To compile it to JVM bytecode you would need to convert it to the virtual call using some very roundabout way. But in WASM you have native support for function pointers, which gives much better flexibility when compiling other languages.

  • Have you seen what it outputs? The same way we can compile C to brainfuck, it doesn't mean it's good or is useful.

  • You can't compile C to java bytecode, they are fundamentally incompatible. But you can compile C to wasm, which is what you want for a good universal bytecode. Java is shit.

  • Current apple systems are objectively superior. The display image quality is better than competition, the touchpad hardware is better, CPU is top 1 in the world in single thread performance and the battery life is unrivaled.

    If you talk about the repairability it only matters in case it breaks and it only happens to a small % of the owners. Most people won't need to repair it. However you do use your device every day, so why would you give up the better user experience? Because of a small chance you would need to pay for repairs later, or even at all? It doesn't make sense.

    The same argument applies to upgrades as well. If you think you'll need an upgrade just buy a bigger version from the start. It may be more expensive but once again you get a better experience overall.
