What they fail to mention is that the total cost was more than if 0% had come from renewables.
It's not about costs. It's about saving the frigging planet. A concept that may be too hard to grasp for many of your kind.
We haven't even eliminated magstrips. We still have them around for backup. An attacker can disable a chip reader by making a special card that applies epoxy to the contacts when it's inserted, which you can do with e.g. a dremel, forcing subsequent users to fall back to the strip.
Theoretical scenario, no? Going that route, the attacker can fill the whole damn card slot with epoxy, and no card, be it magnetic stripe or chip, can be inserted at all.
What do you do for entertainment then? Hoop on a stick?
For entertainment? Maybe a live gig, occasionally a Netflix movie (no series). For pastime, running, orienteering, swimming, forestry (lumberjack thing), hiking, whatever. Outdoors mostly.
It's hard to imagine someone going through life without having reoccurring interests in a content creator
We are worlds apart.
Do you consume other media the same way? If you want to watch a TV show about doctors you just search Netflix for "doctor show"? If you want a jazz song you search itunes for "jazz song"?
Seems like an inefficient way, but I guess your "life" is very busy!
You confuse information search with entertainment. Like I said, I have a life outside digital world, wouldn't waste it on some "entertainment content" from Youtube. So yes, it is much more efficient to search for "how to fix a bootloader" video than to subscribe to a Windows tips and tricks channel and wait, if such a video pops up.
How do you find content? External sites? Whatever Youtube is recommending everyone?
I know what I want to watch, so I go and search for it!
Youtube is quite handy in providing all kinds of guidance, e.g. lately how to replace a capacitor in my receiver, how to fell a tree, or how to get grub back, when windows took over the boot process. That doesn't mean I would have any desire to subscribe to an electronics, lumberjack or windows tips channel.
I have a life, I do not need random "content" to fill it with.
The only Windows application I use heavily on Windows 7 but cannot get for Linux is "Everything". It's an amazing app, but tied to the implementation of NTFS.
What are you using on Linux for file search? Have you tried FSearch, how does it compare to Everything? https://cboxdoerfer.github.io/...
For the love of $DEITY, why not just use a heat pump? It takes a fraction of the energy cost to move the heat, compared to generating it. If it is too cold, then by all means, use another heat source, but save the electrical heat for the actual cold weather.
Exactly. And it is seldom too cold for a heat pump, if you buy a modern one. I have Toshiba Premium+ 25 bought a couple of years ago. It gives COP 2 in -30C (-22F). Costs around $2000, installed, here in Finland.
Should be fairly simple Russia did offer a workaround, after all: Use two sim cards, don't permit the Russian one to contact towers outside of Russia. Fly it from outside using the other SIM.
Even easier is to use the other workaround given by russia, Use a warehouse near the border to manually connect sim cards to the russian network for a while, then move them to be used in the next batch of drones to be launched (if launched further away, activate the mobile connection only after the drone has reached russian network).
I think so. Or mindless cult-like fanbois that are mentally incapable of seeing or accepting any problems with their fetish.
This explains a lot, as we all know, that you have a fetish for denouncing any AI/LLM use case, no matter how successful those would be.
This is really well established. False positives make any detection system unusable.
I'll just give a counterexample, which invalidates your point. We have Fire detectors in our house, every room has one in the ceiling. Once in a while, a detector goes off to some random reason, typically cooking (with lots of steam generated). So no fire. False positive. Does it make the detection system unusable? Do you feel that I should rip out those detectors?
According to European Price Indication Directive, stating that the discount amount must be counted from the lowest price the item has had during the past 30 days.
Must be that Euroean socialism, protecting consumers' rights.
The bigger and more interesting question is why AMD is willing to do this. Apparently exercising the warrant should result in the creation of 160 million new shares, which would increase the total number of shares by 10%. That's like a negative stock buyback and would be a huge minus for AMD. Yet, they are desperate enough to strike this deal.
Well isn't it obvious? AMD thinks that being on OpenAI bandwagon would raise their share prices (due to PR, due to increased business, due to AI hype, whatever) - and if the share price really reaches $600, then it will have tripled from what it has lately been. So diluting the shares by that 10% is a price that the stock owner will happily pay after that tripling...
Which algorithm are you talking about? Because it's certainly not the algorithm discussed in the story (SPQR encryption)
The Fine Article describes traditional encryption method (not quantum), which is RESISTANT to ATTACKS that run on (sometime in the future) upcoming quantum computers. Quantum encryption itself is a completely different beast, not discussed in this story.
but you can't really put a price on silver-plated cryogenically treated 101% pure copper wires that have been braided by the hands of virgins under a blue moon whist facing directly East into a 5 knot wind at 37.5 percent humidity precisely located over a suitable warp in the magnetic field of the earth.
No match for the Toslink cable I bought, which has gold-plated connectors!
