This whole take is embarrassingly ignorant and no one with the credentials has the time to check you. We need people to do real thinking and they need to ignore you.
This person is a clown, probably with a paid agenda, and they should be disallowed from saying such dumb things where smart people with useful skills might read it.
Maybe. I suspect it has more to do with baseline activity level and type of workout, but I could be wrong. I only have 1 body. IME, If I do nothing all day, I'll feel sluggish all day. If I take a 30 minute walk or do some squats, pullups or overhead presses, it will get my heart rate up and I'll feel more awake afterwards. I generally don't push myself to the point of exhaustion with exercise.
I worry that a lot of this conversation around web tech has become shibboleths to gatekeep a dwindling industry. You don't actually need to be an expert in angular or react or whatever unless you are churning out similar things in an assembly line style. The markers of a valuable hire are more basic: problem solving ability, ability to learn and adapt, communication skills, agreeableness...
I see this tactic over and over. Overstate the problem your industry faces while you divert money away from solving it. Because propagandizing, buying political support, and so on, is cheaper than being a good actor in your business.
I'm skeptical. I don't think they are really battling scams at Meta. There have been scams all over their platforms for a decade or more. This story is about trying to create the sense that they are working hard on the problem while they deliberately under invest and fail to solve it.
What happens inside a black hole is basically unknowable. We can only ponder the math which leads to ideas like space and time swapping roles once you cross the event horizon.[0] The only thing that comes out is hawking radiation, which is sort of like... half of nothing.
IMO, we should stop abusing personal data for profit. What does this bring to the table that doesn't advance the surveillance state? Does it help individuals without hurting them?
Yeah, it's something best planned with construction, and a bit pricey, but worth keeping in mind for anyone who intends to build a bunker. :)
Also not bad for high efficiency net zero type homes to supplement natural light without too many windows compromising the thermal envelope. I personally like the variability of natural light for how it keeps you connected to the outdoors. You know when a cloud is overhead or the sun is rising or setting. I've simulated sunset and sunrise with LEDs through color temp and timing but I've always wanted to experience the solar fiber type.
Everyone seems to go for LEDs to simulate outdoor lighting for this kind of purpose, when there is another way that seems much more elegant to me: fiber-optic solar lighting.
I don't think that's right except at a radius of a typical planet. At the event horizon of even a planetary mass black hole, gravity is so strong that light cant escape, and the time dilation effect should be the same as for any event horizon.
Primordial black holes can theoretically be much smaller than those formed in the usual way from collapsed stars or neutron star mergers, etc, because the early universe was dense with matter already and perturbations could have caused gravitational collapses for arbitrary volumes. I don't think we've observed any directly, which would be hard as small low-emission masses. They're still a potential piece of the dark matter missing-mass puzzle.
I think both comparisons together paint a good picture: 15 times further than Pluto, which itself has an orbit ranging from 30 to 49 AU (the distance between Earth and the sun.)
No one is really validating me for learning new things. I think the value of learning has more to do with whether you can leverage your learning in a socially positive way. It's hard to know whether learning about a particular topic will create opportunities to help anyone. I'm pretty sure no one but me will get anything from my recent interest in astrophysics beyond a little entertainment value. I consider it hedonic learning, but less so than stuff like pop culture trivia.
I have mixed feelings about all of my supposed clever ideas being executed on by other people way ahead of me, but this is cool and you have my respect.
This is easily understood in the context of ancient nights with no light pollution, and fewer distractions. Regrettably, I think some people will frame it in a way to try to support theories of ancient lost technology, alien influence, or similar scientifically and epistemologically unsound narratives.
How about a wifi feature that is useful on a LAN and doesn't need 'the cloud'? The annoying part of wifi appliances is that network connectivity almost always means phoning home to some server on WAN. Home routers or a separate box on LAN ought to have functionality to be the bridge between appliances and client devices instead. That's a standard I'd rather see.
Yeah I've been using an HP laptop with AMD chip and integrated graphics loaded with Pop!OS for an internet machine + some really minimal steam gaming (older 2D titles) and it's been effortless. The only shortcoming I've run into is DRM-equipped sites like prime video refusing to play nice.
Ars has been one of the best publications across my whole experience with the internet, going on 20+ years. Without them I wouldn't have been clued into how broken the internet is.
Regenerative braking is nice but as sibling pointed out it doesn't nearly recapture everything. Another factor is that the additional load whether accelerating up a hill or braking down one puts more current through the system. In fact nearly every part of the drivetrain will experience accelerated wear under those conditions, mechanical or electrical. Cooling systems, too. Properly spec'd, it's of course very doable, but it's true hilly terrain is more difficult.
This hostility towards ownership goes way beyond computers. There has been a decades long effort to exclude people from 'productive' society if they don't consent to being controllable and surveilled.
This is a reminder why trying to be hip to sell a message is actually very often counterproductive. (See D.A.R.E.)
That Quentin Question video made me cringe from the beginning to the eventual end when I closed it for being insufferable.
Patronizing kids does not hold sway in the long term. They don't stay young. I think it's better to treat them more mature than they are, to speak to the people they become.
