You could also list some long term average power draw instead of the peak.

It gets even better when you read about annual or even daily energy production of a specific power plant.

For example, the annual production of Aswan dam in Egypt is about 10 042 GWh, which translates to an average power output of about 1.1 GW. Now that you have this number, you can compare that with the maximum theoretical power output which is 2.1 GW. Therefore, they should have plenty of capacity left, but you can’t tell that just by looking at the published numbers. They just have to use convoluted units, because that’s the tradition in a bunch of industries.

That gives me an idea for a sci-fi weapon. It squeezes a few grams of stuff into an unstable black hole, which then releases all of the energy in a massive explosion.

If there was a compression ray, it could cause a few pico grams of matter to form a black hole on the surface of the target. If you pulse it very quickly, you get the appearance of a continuous cutting beam. Obviously, those explosions would be very loud and they would emit lots of radiation, so maybe it could be a tank mounted weapon.

Keep folding until you hit Fe or Ni.

According to Microsoft, you can safely send your work related stuff to Copilot. Besides, most companies already use a lot of their software and cloud services, so LLM queries don’t really add very much. If you happen to be working for one of those companies, MS probably already knows what you do for a living, hosts your meeting notes, knows your calendar etc.

If you’re working for Purism, RedHat or some other company like that, you might want to host your own LLM instead.

A covert blimp airfield? I have so many questions…

Oh, I’ve read lots of those comments. Truly fascinating stuff, and I think there is a reason. Here are some guesses.

1. That user is suffering from some sort of mental issues. This seems like the obvious option, but I don’t think it’s the most likely one.
2. It’s a social experiment. Someone is using it to gather information on how people respond to hostility online. I would love to carry out an experiment like that, but can’t justify the negativity that would be inherently involved in it. I’m really curious to find out how different instances, communities or even other social medias respond. Are some places more hostile or mature than others? What does it take to get your messages deleted or account banned? Who knows.
3. It’s a piece of online art. That account is used for making a statement about online debates, hostility and the ways people react.
4. It’s a personal goal. Who has the most downvoted account on Lemmy? That’s an achievement of sorts, I guess. This is the kind of stuff people do when they’ve already completed the main quest and most of the side quests.
5. Plain old trolling. Sort of like point 4, but for entertainment purposes instead of questionable bragging rights.

This level of toxicity is really impressive. Can I get sone sarin sauce on that plutonium burger, please?

You are appreciated the way you are. Here, have some flowers to cheer you up 💐🌸🌻

Yeah, that’s an entirely valid option. However, 15 €/month is a bit difficult to justify, given the quality I would get in return. The family plan might make more sense though.

Oooh, free insults. Yes please.

Are you able to block YT ads on Safari + AdGuard? That’s the combo I have, and it did work for a while, but nowadays, all YT videos stop at the 1 min mark. Seems like YT is beginning to block people who use ad blockers.

Then maybe there could be a different kind of zero that works normally with normal numbers, but when multiplied by some bizarre number gives a non-zero answer. Maybe after a few centuries we’ll be using bizarre numbers for computing weird stuff we can’t even imagine yet.

At the moment, that’s a solution looking for a problem, but give is time.

If preserving it is a high priority, keep it in an inert atmosphere and protected from light. Basically, like in a museum.

Where’s that area on this phase diagram?

If you run into that problem, you need more tea leaves. Also, puerh can produce an amazing amount of tea.

Rookie numbers! Try 20-50 tiny cups.

So, where do I put my gaiwan on the spectrum?

Sounds great. I hope at least one of these communities becomes the main community for capybaras. Defederation tends to cause fragmentation like this, so I guess there’s always some demand for new communities that aren’t on unpopular instances.
