The electricity would be better spent on heat pumps. Computers convert 100% of their electricity into heat. Heat pumps convert 200-400% of their electricity into heat.

(I’m being lose with my wording for brevity’s sake)

This is like saying the library search engine and Bob the drunkard who looked at the shelf labels and swears up and down he knows where everything is are the same thing.

Look, ChatGPT is an averaging machine. Yes it has ingested a significant chunk of the text on the internet, but it does not reproduce text exactly as it found it, it produces an average of all the text it has seen, weighted towards what seems like it make sense for the situation. For really common information this is fine. For niche information, it is bullshitting without any indication.

Octopi is also correct. If anything, more correct than octopodes by virtue of popularity. Mismatching the language to the suffix does not a fake word make!

You just trade out legal distributors for illegal distributors while ruining the lives of smokers by cycling them in and out of prison, feeding their need to smoke even more. Bad idea.

What if you watch it on a laptop?

Further, what if you hook up that laptop to the TV?

Speed bumps exist to slow down vehicles, in this case for pedestrian crossing.

Do you think it is more useful to slow down a 1-2 tonne (or more) chunk of metal from 50 to 20 km/h or a combined 150 kg vehicle from 30-20 km/h? Which would be worse to get hit by? Which has the greater stopping distance? Which can turn to avoid obstacles faster?

If you use it differently you are in conflict with the entire anglosphere. You can make that complaint if you’re not speaking English, but in English, the primary meaning of “America” is the United States.

Well that’s pretty easy, just fire it anywhere except a vacuum.

You can find the value of ln(-1)¹⁰ by examining the definition of ln(x): the result z satisfies eᶻ=x. For x=-1, that means the z that satisfies eᶻ=-1. Then we know z from euler’s identity. Raise to the 10, and there’s our answer. And like you pointed out, it’s not a particularly helpful answer.

Wow it’s so cool that chuds think trans women will “never be real women” but cis men turn into women the second they vote for Kamala Harris.

Therefore i¹⁰ = ln(-1)¹⁰/pi¹⁰ = -1

This is true but does not follow from the preceding steps, specifically finding it to be equal to -1. You can obviously find it from i²=-1 but they didn’t show that. I think they tried to equivocate this expression with the answer for e^iπ which you can’t do, it doesn’t follow because e^iπ and i¹⁰ = ln(-1)¹⁰/pi¹⁰ are different expressions and without external proof, could have different values.

Whoosh

I don’t work out, but running to classes in an N95 is fucking miserable wtf are you talking about.

I am a lot more convinced by the environmental arguments to veganism.

I mean, they already had safe meltdown reactors when they made the molten salt reactor. You just put a meltable plug at the bottom of the reactor and if it gets to hot it melts the plug and drains into a container. Thorium requires a specific setup to fission, so this stops all reaction.

God I remember that fucking bullshit about the Chinese photographer/artist who made a piece dramatizing the crimes of Australia in Afghanistan.

The Australian flag draped over the Afghan flag shaped as a puzzle piece on the floor.

And the narrative the Australian media went with was “this is fake news, the image is fake.” Uh, yeah? That’s how art works, it’s not supposed to fool. Quit fucking distracting from the discussion about the crimes of Australia

What would actually happen is Marie reports the robbery to ADT, and ADT denies the claim because it doesn’t fit their definition of robbery on some technicality decided by a council who doesn’t know any of the details of the robbery because it’s more profitable than costly arbitration.

How did west Germany denazify so quickly after WWII?

They didn’t.

Basically the second one is standard practice, a phased rollout. The only reason you wouldn’t do one is if there’s some really bad exploit that is currently being exploited and you need to fix it now now now. So either somebody fucked up and deployed a regular fucked update as a critical patch, or a critical patch was shoddily made and ended up soft bricking everyone.

But idk i don’t work in tech.

But it tastes so good!!!1!! /s
