Not much substance to this article. But it is noteworthy that the trees also increased precipitation for their own benefit. The bluish haze you see as trees fade away toward the horizon is from compounds they release that act as nuclei for rain drops - yes forests do their own cloud seeding. You know who else has really messed up their water cycle? California, or probably most of the western states. Anyway.

Probably 2 or 3 at most

I host video streaming for personal use and gigabit doesn’t even flinch.

The only use for such speeds in the home is offloading all your data and computing to cloud services. Yay? Symmetrical gigabit is already about 5 times faster than I would ever need. Most people are too lazy to even run a LAN cable to get better than 150-300 mbps.

Nobody would notice. They could write software in the drivers that says if A18 then max gpu cores = 5. They probably are already.

They probably had internet in Atlantis, or something like it, so that would be a shutdown of like 20,000 years or so before it was invented again.

Disconnect your TV from the internet and don’t let it update (downgrade) your software.

I think I was remembering the CIA Wikileaks one which was a compromised DLL.

If I recall correctly this is the second time this has happened to N++. Fool me once… can’t get fooled again.

It’s only 2 grams lighter than the 16e. I also would like a new mini model, but mostly to fit in my hand nicer and de-emphasize the screen in my life.

Rivian’s financial statements provide insight into its per-unit losses, though calculating an exact figure requires analyzing multiple variables. The company’s cost of goods sold (COGS), which includes direct production expenses, regularly exceeds revenue, leading to negative gross margins. According to its latest SEC filings, Rivian reported a gross loss per vehicle of approximately $39,000 in 2023, though this figure fluctuates based on production volume and operational efficiencies.

Not exactly a number they put in a press release, but as a publicly traded company it is published quarterly.

Rivian is losing about $30k per vehicle, but with much lower production numbers.

Airdrop is two people at a time. Say we had a group of 8 people I don’t want to do 7 air drop exchanges to get all the photos.

I wanted something like this for weddings or group camping type events for sharing photos to multiple others at once.

The numbers suggest it’s not an act of desperation. Deer eat small birds. Pika eat meat. Apparently squirrels too.

There are numerous videos on YouTube of deer eating songbirds.

But the first example does the same thing for an empty list. I guess the lesson is that if you’re measuring the speed of arbitrary stylistic syntax choices, maybe Python isn’t the best language for you.

Could also compare against:

if not len(mylist)

That way this version isn’t evaluating two functions. The bool evaluation of an integer is false when zero, otherwise true.
