So, ChatGPT is indistinguishable from a human. A human with severe dementia and having a stroke while tripping on good drugs.

Han Solo shot first is a good example... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

What an excellent article... It reminded me of the story of the emperor's new clothes, in that everyone associated with marketing had a vested interest in ignoring reality. The difference is that in the story, eventually everyone realized that the emperor had no clothes.

D) Cowboy Neil did it in the pool with a pool noodle. Mystery solved!

And just where were the rocket engines supposed to come from for monthly launches? STS is such a waste of money...

I believe it will happen when the Department of Fish and Wildlife stops cock-blocking the approval process for the second integrated flight test of StarShip.

You'd be better served by a Chart of Nuclides, which shows details of the expected resultant daughter products for various nuclear interactions. Very useful chart.

Serve the people... with a nice Chianti and a side of fava beans...

Here you go... https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/uni... It runs a Debian derivative, powered from 802.3af POE or a Micro USB port, and includes a MicroSD slot for expandability. It's an awesome headless server for low power applications.

Currently I have a classic AOL free CD nestled under my coffee cup, protecting the table surface. For extra protection against liquids, I cover the center hole with scotch tape.

I wish I had mod points to give you. Excellent first post!

When people have questions about tax law, they ask an accountant. They don't ask the clerk at the checkout stand of the local supermarket. Yet when it comes to nuclear power, people will accept the opinions of folks who are totally unqualified to have any sort of opinion other than hearsay. I spent over 10 years as a qualified reactor operator, with thousands of hours of panel time. I've got more time at the controls of a nuclear power plant than most senior commercial pilots have flying. I've been an instructor at a prototype nuclear power plant, teaching trainee operators how to do the job.

So yes, on the topic of nuclear safety I have an opinion. But my opinion is based on operational experience and training rather than hearsay. Unfortunately Mdsolar and his ilk vehemently express their opinions to a wide audience (sort of like the vaccine haters).

Rosebud....

My preferred solution for TV watching doesn't involve a smart TV. I have a 115 inch screen mounted on the wall of the mancave. The projector is attached to the HDMI output of a receiver. Selectable inputs to the receiver include a blueray player, Windows PC, ChromeCast, and a Nintendo. There is an HDHomerun networked tuner and a large selection of media stored on a NAS which are accessible from any WiFi or networked device. If I want to add another source, I can easily plug it into the receiver (for local use in the ManCave) or the network (for use in the rest of the house).

The idea of having a dedicated TV seems archaic to me. Displays should be stupid, with the 'Smart' portion being separate so that it can be easily upgraded or swapped out. If my hard drive gets full but the computer works fine otherwise, I don't go buy a new computer... I just buy a bigger drive and add it into my existing computer. Why should media consumpution systems (AKA TV sets) be treated as an integrated box?

"There is no practical reason in any textbook I've found or any chip architecture designer or physicist I've talked to why we can't have processors running at least 500x faster than we currently run them at lower power usage." You need to read different textbooks, and talk with more knowledgeable chip architecture designers and physicists, preferably ones who actually work on CPU design. Not only is capacitance inherent in transistor design, it also impacts the interconnect layers and the substrate to which the chip is attached (you know... conductive structures with an dielectric insulating material separating them...)

Of course, it's a giant conspiracy to keep reducing the gate width, and making fin-fet transisters, and changing to EUV (and trying to design high power lasers to feed these machines) because that's sooo much easier than changing to a non-capacitive transister. Google must be in on the conspiracy, since a search for "non-capacitive transistor" doesn't return any meaningful results.

Sorry, your post is wrong in so many ways, that I don't know where to start... Maybe this will help: https://xkcd.com/386/
