Early access games getting faster after release is probably more a result of removing debugging from the build more than outright optimization.

From the summary:

IOW, they're sticking with their marketing pitch.

That's no longer the American Way (if it ever was).

Wind is part of the cause, but the GS itself is an ocean current.

The reported drop ins SpaceX is understandable given the recent IPO.

As for most of the others, is a 2% drop significant?

In a free country, "too big to fail" is to big to be allowed.

I'm not from the future. It's just that time is cyclical.

There are various hypotheses to explain it, such that the universe is cyclical or that we're stuck in a time loop. But the most broadly accepted hypothesis is that a prior civilization collapsed at the end of year 32,767, and it has taken us almost 35,000 years to get back to where we are now.

Of course, our calendar doesn't allow for a year 0, so we may have an off-by-one error. But then again people celebrated the millennium at the end of 1999, so maybe there's a tacit assumption that there was in fact a year 0.
 

So the cooling loop is a hermetically sealed ethylene glycol filled system. NOBODY but nobody cares about that; that is what people call a red herring at best and a diversion at worst. Every large building uses this type of system in some capacity.
What provides the cooling to the main loop? Is it provided by refrigeration, via water chillers? Then it uses gobs of power, which is a concern to other customers of the power supply. Is it provided by evaporative cooling towers? Then it uses gobs of water and a somewhat less power--which is a major concern in many of the areas they plan on installing these data centers. Is it a dry cooler--just a heat exchanger? The process temperature will be too high and it probably cannot operate in the desert where they plan on installing many of these colossal data centers.

So what is it? Or are they cooled by unicorn flatulence and billionaire's hearts?

Actually, I like watching the stunt men and special effects.

Nah, they're just jealous that other people's fuckups have been dominating the news, and they want some of that old-fashioned media love too.

I haven't been to the cinema since 2917, because everything was already too boring and predictable to watch. Let alone pay for.

Have you ever considered that pointing out that "x is bad" does not in any way imply "y is good".

If "3x more" means proportional, then TT must be about 150% slop.

Probably a pretty good estimate...

Or "donate" to an appropriate "charity".

When I registered for college, during the orientation they said that pre-meds are the group most frequently caught cheating.

Money is a big motivator. And not always for the good.
