Faxes are secure after sending. The only way for a third party to get a fax is to physically tap the line at the time of transmission, or to break into the building and steal the paper.
Email sits online, where everyone can get at it unless you prevent it. Faxes sit in a drawer, behind the locks you already have.
1d4? Testicular torsion is basically always lethal…
What is that? I mean, other than “cuuuuuute”
Yeah, but the bugs at least aren’t opportunistic.
Ostrich tastes basically like super lean beef. Ostriches are absolutely not herbivores though, they eat bugs and small rodents too.
Well that, and a multi-decade headstart in solar panels
I spend a fair bit of time on construction sites, and cameras have one huge issue compared to mirrors: They’re one-way.
With a mirror, I can see the driver in the mirror. I can make eyecontact and confirm that they’ve seen me. With a camera, I have no idea if they’ve seen me. Maybe they can see more, but if they happen not to be looking, I have no way to tell.
And our stupid road regulations don’t allow for both.
Battery parks are definitely the new hot thing, but it takes a long time to get enough capacity that you can take the entire solar peak on a sunny day
The Netherlands has a huge grid capacity issue, but there are two much more relevant problems stopping the growth of renewable power: space and the fact that the earth is round.
The Netherlands is the most densely populated large country in Europe. Wind turbines take up quite a bit of space, and we’ve got a very large part of the country covered with stuff already. There isn’t much room for new wind parks. There is also a steady expansion there already, and we don’t have unlimited will turbine builders either.
The problem with solar is that we already have a lot of solar. Solar panels all produce the most power at the same time, which often causes an excess of electricity turning the price negative, meaning producers will turn their plants off. So a solar park will stop producing exactly when it would have been most profitable otherwise. This means the return on investment is significantly lower, below other safe investments, so people will just invest elsewhere…
And private solar panels suffer from the same issue,along energy companies charge extra to compensate for fixed-rate contracts, making them much less financially appealing for people.
And being a stranger in Egypt is still pretty fucking terrible if you’re not strongly presenting male.
The big problem with training LLMs is that you need good data, but there’s so much data you can’t really manually separate all “good” from all “bad” data. You have to use the set of all data, and a much much smaller set of tagged and marked “good” data.
Thanks for the ChatGPT video, I guess…
A surprising number of people don’t find out till they get a health checkup for work somewhere in their 20’s or 30’s. Some chemical exposure can slowly cause colourblindness, especially solvents and heavy metals, so people get checked for it, and plenty find out they’ve apparently always been colorblind.
Playing D&D nonstop seems like a logistic challenge to say the least.
What I strongly dislike about super-lethal games is that the less leeway you give characters, the less room there is for tactically-suboptimal-but-roleplay-superior actions.
My Dwarf hates goblins, so what does he do when he’s down to 2hp, the cleric has healing magic and the rogue has four arrows aimed at the goblin leader? Well, he’s going to charge, of course, and if the the rogue shoots first, they’re going to have An Issue later. But if your game is super lethal, I’m either not going to get invested in a character, or i’m going to play this RPG like a tactical tabletop game.
11.000 indian people renamed to Claude
Yes, and now we want to change those laws. It should be easy to follow those too.
Ah I recall my “science” teacher when I was 13 explaining to us that all materials expand when heated and shrink when cooled.
So I ask how ice floats, or how ice cubes swell above the tray.
Tech giants will ruin AI with monetization.
AI is completely unaffordable right now. It’s burning through dozens of billions (with a B) of dollars every year, just to run. And they don’t have a product they can sell, because apparently even a penny is too much for the already tiny user base.
Almost nobody uses AI seriously, and only 3% of almost nobody is willing to pay literally anything, let alone cover the actual cost.
Oh yeah, I meant when untreated.
