Take numbers with a grain of salt, e.g., this link says a 7200RPM 160GB SATA drive from 2004 is $107, or about $0.67/GB, instead of the $5 claimed in post.

Not at all in this case though! Or rather, it depends on your perspective.

“Why doesn’t electricity leak out the outlet?” is a good question, if you know nothing about electricity.

“Why doesn’t electricity leak out the outlet?” is a little stupid, if you know a little about electricity.

“Why doesn’t electricity leak out the outlet?” is a great question if you know a bit more about electricity (because it does leak out, it’s just that 50/60Hz doesn’t couple to freespace well unless you have a colossal antenna).

As to this question, light in moving media: https://preprints.opticaopen.org/articles/preprint/Fizeau_Experiment_Investigating_the_Speed_of_Light_in_Moving_Media/25441108?file=45147313

It’s a matter of perspective and use — high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.

I’d much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.

50kW class laser.

Another source claims 1um wavelength with individual 1.5kW lasers in a hex pattern — unclear if it’s a phased array (would be awesome) or just trained on the same target (source mentions they are “combined using a mirror” so probably the latter).

Sounds like maybe high power YAG?

I just want a button that rewinds 10-15s, turns on subtitles, and then turns them off when it catches up again. It’s a pattern I do manually with some regularity.

I suppose with Jellyfin/OSS, this is something I could implement myself if I was so inclined…

Hmmm, I’m not sure I understand…

A large explosion every second has units of power, not energy. So to me this is suggesting that the train is putting out power equal to its kinetic energy per second. That’s certainly not the case — it implies that the train is powerful enough to accelerate to the speed in 1s, which is definitely not true.

But that’s just my interpretation.

I don’t think your units make sense — kinetic energy has units of energy, but “kg TNT per second” is power (about 4MW). (I think just remove the “every second” and it’s correct?)

Edit: parent edited comment.

see my other comment where I define vegetables

See this is why you’re arguing with everyone and coming across as (at best) a troll — you’ve defined your position to be correct, which of course means in your world you cannot possibly be wrong.

Strong Principal Skinner meme vibes.

"Am I wrong about potatos?

…no, it’s Wikipedia, Britannica, Merriam-Webster, and basically everyone on reddit that’s wrong!"

Sorry what are we talking about? Can you say it again, very slowly, and enunciate carefully?

It’s maybe not that bad for a “normal” person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out — abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck — was pretty disheartening.

You can!

Getting it published is another matter though…

We kinda do the opposite already, via subsidies https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7690710/

Immich looks particularly good to me.

It is! Been running it for a few years now and I love it.

The local ML and face detection are awesome, and not too resource intensive — i think it took less than a day to go through maybe 20k+ photos and 1k+ videos, and that was on an N100 NUC (16GB).

Works seamlessly across my iPhone, my android, and desktop.

(Not sure if other stuff too.)

Elmo = Donny?

A faint, “Zero! Ah ha ha!” can be heard in the distance, as The Count tallies up the score.

Maybe they mean four year uptime…

Also note that many graduate programs are free* — if you don’t count lost wages or the cost of the prerequisite undergrad degree.

But it all depends on what you want, with a fair amount of luck thrown in IMHO. You can have a lousy job with or without a degree, and you can have a great career with or without one.

From ed.gov:

Overall, the median lifetime earnings for all workers are $1.7 million, which is just under $42,000 per year ($20 per hour). Over a 40-year career, those who didn’t earn a high school diploma or GED are expected to bring in less than $1 million, which translates into slightly more than $24,000 a year ($11.70 per hour).

*Or rather, funded by your research/TA/etc.

It’s a fun way to mix it up!

Previously I just had my favorite starting word, but I thought it got a little boring. This can be a fun challenge. That said, I skip days now and then so I’m not worried about keeping a streak going :)
