It's either a very dedicated imposter or the real deal which would mean Margot Robbie is a giant nerd. I choose the latter option but would not be surprised by the former.

Funny enough, it's not the engineers that are doing it. Left to their own devices without ridiculous constraints like "someone else is doing it this way so we need you to do something that sets us apart" or "you can't look at what everyone else is doing", engineers will do it the laziest way they can..... By copying what others are doing and essentially making it standard.
The dead man switch at one of my last places was the companies incompetence and lack of forethought.
When I left, I told them that the files for their system that I designed, built, and maintained was on the laptop I was returning to them.
They wiped it.
They also had zero clue how to use the programs I had nor any other aspect of that system so they really shot themselves in the foot then shot their other one to test of the first one hurt
I was under the impression the folding technique of Japanese blades was due to the low carbon content and the process of folding included adding carbon to the iron as well as incorporating it throughout the metal.
European iron ore already had larger amounts of carbon which meant the folding and adding carbon process wasn't required to create a serviceable edge.
That's what's so sneaky about it. It's genius, honestly
I'm not one to actively encourage increases in military spending but if it's to outfit the orcas, I'm all for it
Might as well add some picos to scratch that itch. And the rabbit hole that micro controllers bring.... next thing you know, your work desk is also a solder station, a hot air station, PCB design, circuit design, and you've got two extra diy printers in various state of being built/rebuilt
I don't have a problem, you have a problem
Nope. Older than the universe. Can't weasel your way out of this one science boy
Oh for sure on all points.
I was just saying that the intensive folding process wasn't nearly as necessary for the euro smiths. Especially, as you said, they had more than enough carbon sources to make up for any deficits in their iron sources.
Once the smith turns the raw material into steel, there was very little difference beyond what the final product needed in hardness/flexibility.
I don't use the drive through because I'm lazy. I use it so I can have the most minimal amount of human contact possible
This is exactly why they're attacking. Humans fucking up their environment.
*Except the food industry. No restaurant or bar is dumb enough to drug test. They wouldn't have any workers
I love the tree shadow ones. So trippy.
Except for almost every device I want to put custom firmware on, apparently.
Honestly not sure which is worse. Peafowl or guinea fowl
Corporate culture of prioritizing quarterly growth and profits above all other factors
Excessive reliance on meat based meals
Honestly, get the flux and a hot air station instead, imo. Then again, I prefer being able to have control over where the heat is going instead of reflowing everything at once
Consumerism is the third leading cause of why we're boiling ourselves out of a planet
It's actually the latest Jeff Geerling video and it was partly tongue in cheek
Letting a language model do the work of thinking is like building a house and using a circular saw to put nails in. It will do it but you should not trust the results.
It is not Google. It can, will, and has made up facts as long as it fits the format expected
Not at the very least proof reading and fact checking the output is beyond lazy and a terrible use of a tool. Using it to create the end product instead of as a tool to use in creation of an end product are two very different things.
I think it'll take a new component/circuit design for quantum to be viable for home computing similar to the transformation that happened to computers after the addition of the transistor
Hi. I grew up in a city with named streets. One street can have four names depending on where you're at on it. You've never had to deal with directing someone down a city full of that, apparently.
On the other hand, we have an area with lettered streets. L comes before M, N, O, P, etc. If you're on F and need to get to C Street, you know you need to go up 3 blocks. Meanwhile, if you're on Johnson and need to get to North York, you have to know that it's the same street and changes names in 7 blocks.
In many parts of the US, lunch and breaks are not guaranteed. Companies can also fire someone for any or no reason as long as it's not a very narrow and specific set of reasons without any legal repercussions. They can fire a person for those reasons as well and, if the person fired can't find a lawyer or afford a lengthy case, get away with it.
The US is very much pro-employer.
I'd expect nothing less, honestly
Depends on how we approach viability, imo
Can we currently see a reason for it with its current abilities/functions? No
But
We can look right at the history of conventional computing to predict a possible timeline for it. Single purpose computational machines that took a lot of power, a lot of room, and were fairly rare. Used for military or research purposes. Multi purpose machines that could run user created calculations and were slightly smaller and efficient. Begins to be used in more academic settings Multipurpose machines capable of being used to aid general office staff, continue to become more compact and efficient Portability becomes possible for select few with a need And so on until we arrive to now where nearly everything and everyone has a computer
Honestly the laws of physics are constantly in flux and there's no telling what we could create to circumvent the limits we're currently pushing.
As I mentioned in my example: before the innovations with transistors, there was no way to make a portable computer. It was physically impossible
While true, it doesn't mean we should stop. At worst, we find techniques that improve other areas of technology
I'm more expecting innovations to reduce the need for the super cooling but same
So uhhhh no one else read Stephen King's work or the Child Called It series as a kid huh?
This tells me that you know very little about how in control of designs engineering teams are. 99/100 times it's not up to the engineers on what the specifications or limitations are for any given design.
Typically, sales says they'll have something that fits whatever crazy need no matter if a perfectly suitable design already exists if they consulted the engineers or shop, typically to get the sale. Engineering is then forced to adjust the design because nothing existing will fit.
It's a tool to aid in creating a product, not a tool that magics out a finished product. That's my point. Too many people use it as the latter instead of the former.
I'm glad you understand my point. Chatgpt is not Google. It's a language model that will give you something that looks like the thing you asked for it to provide. It can and will pull facts out of its recycle bin if it fits the cadence of what it expects the answer to look like.
Damn. I hope that place paid enough to deal with that nonsense. My place doesn't care if I'm completely naked as long as I take calls, respond to tickets, and get the work done. Then again we're also permanent wfh minus the odd onsite here and there
And digital computers needed tube relays and entire buildings to work. With innovation and time, it'll become more easily handled
I don't mind the tool itself if you use it as such. I do mind when people use its output as the final product. See: the lawyer who used chatgpt for a legal brief
