I’m not sure that Sublinks will happen. It was breathlessly announced as if it was coming soon with the promise of regular updates. But here we are eleven months later with no updates at all.

To me it’s just seems like Lemmy and the Threadiverse are slowly evaporating.

We do actually know quite a bit about the Internal Monologue and other forms of intrapersonal communication.

There isn’t one single use for it or benefit of it (in the same way water has many uses)

Its strength was in running the same operation on large sets of data rather than general purpose computing. So specialist hardware would need to be developed for real time input and a graphical display (which would need to be able to draw the screen from the data the Cray produced. )

I think a better comparison would be a modern GPU.

A Cray 1 could do approx 160,000,000 floating point operations per second. A modern GPU can do 1,600,000,000,000 per second.

Interesting links to Three Body Problem there.

Not really

That makes no sense. It’s been repeatedly tried and failed for very obvious reasons.

Technically it’s very very hard unless you spend so much it’s uneconomic and takes too long to develop.

Secondly, its investors who were scammed. Yes they could have done better due diligence but they were still scammed.

As far as I know, only HDPE is suitable for vinegar. Other types of plastic react with even a weak acid causing swelling/softening.

Why does bleach come in plastic containers ? Acids on the other hand (like vinegar) come in glass containers .

Why would bleach damage it?

I’ve also noticed that Bard has become “unfriendly”, if I didn’t know any better it’s got fed up with stupid humans.

This is so true, when you go there now it’s full of “reply guys”, gatekeepers and trolls. There’s little to no sense of community and the money grabbing is even more upfront and obvious.

Photons are massless and along with other massless particles are known as Luxons because they always travel at the speed of light. But notice that the speed of light varies depending on the medium that light is crossing. (Eg 300,000 m/s in a vacuum . 200,000 m/s in glass)

So you could certainly transmit data faster than light through glass by simply transmitting it in a vacuum. But there’s little practical use except perhaps gravity wave detectors.

There are a class of particles that always travel slower than light (unless you accelerate them with infinite energy) and also a theoretical and controversial class of particles that travel at infinite speed and would require infinite energy to slow them to light speed. (If they did exist no means has ever been postulated to detect them)

It depends what country you are in. In the UK a retailer must accept electronic items for recycling (or provide you with the details of a free recycling service) The local council will have a recycling service (in most areas small appliances can be left out with your recycling bin). For items which might have a value there are companies that will buy them from you for a small amount and then recycle.

Please do not take them to a charity shop without checking beforehand as many cannot afford the testing needed before they can resell.

That makes no sense at all.

Why would it have infinite digits? It is just as like to be 0.

UK: anywhere that sells batteries has to have a disposal facility.

As well as the medical effects, there’s also the realisation (age varies when this happens) that going out in order to get drunk is not a good time.

Very true, I remember a few years ago someone converting old cartoons to a consistent 60 frames a second.

If they’d asked an animator they’d have found out that animation purposely uses different rates of change to give a different feel to scenes. So the improvement actually ruined what they were trying to improve.

This is true. When I checked on this about five years ago (in the UK), the cost per message was about £0.00001

With the reduction in the number of SMS sent, it now costs more to bill them. In the UK, even the cheapest monthly contract has unlimited calls and texts. There a pre-pay tariffs as low as £3 a month with calls, texts and some data.

As well as the charges issue there are three other points.

They are delivery reports not read reports.

Because of the way they are implemented they are low priority on the network and will be dropped at busy times. (This means the lack of a delivery report doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t delivered)

They don’t work reliably across different message centres. If you and the recipient are on different message centres, You’ll get a delivery report when it reaches the next message centre. (This means that a delivery report doesn’t necessarily mean the message was delivered)
