That would make the news. I can’t find that news.

The servers are so loud they won’t hear the telephone

Pretty much any conception of heaven implies lots of supernatural things. At that point, levitation, invisible dimensions, teleportation of body or soul, scrying etc. all come into consideration, so talking about a physical place is meaningless.

Two years ago, I got halfway through sorting a similar kind of bargain bin. Not with food items in a supermarket but phone cases in a convenience store (already unwrapped so not labeled with phone models, so my main guide was camera count and position). I surrounded myself with piles on the floor, camera count on one axis, camera size on another, before I made enough clear space at the bottom of the bin to start piling them up - the most common ones as foundation to prop up a bookshelf-like variety display of about 3-5 each, neatly stacked on top. I then used insertion sort to add to the sorted stack from the assortment. Then I struggled to find floor space for the rare leftover ones so that I could put the rest of the overrepresented ones at the bottom and finish the browsable display. I did all this with my unprotected phone in the other hand pretending to compare it to whatever I was holding but I guess it became too obvious with the uniquely-shaped ones. The cashier walked over and made me throw the rest back as quickly as possible.

Speaking of ADHD, I specifically asked my psychiatrist to get tested and it came out negative somehow. I think I could really use the meds but the doctor won’t let me. :(

It’s actually pretty hard to start with so little free space, and you can’t buid stacks too tall either because the base isn’t even. It takes time for the space gains by efficient stacking to have an effect. And if you use the floor for temporary storage, employees will yell at you. Ask me how I know.

Look up “homemade Dubai lamps” or as Big Clive likes to call them, “Dooby lamps”. Basically decrease the power by 30% or more by replacing or removing one of current-sense resistors to get a many times longer lifespan. Very easy with lamps that have a linear regulator on the LED board; ones that have a switching regulator inside need to be disassembled further than just popping off the plastic globe (preferrably by milling into the housing from the SMD side of the board because that doesn’t disrupt the thermal design of the LED board). With the latter approach, I can also fix another common issue: the input inductor going open circuit, usually indicated by flashing and a burned-out bypass resistor (most often 4k7 or “472”) − I just short it, I don’t care about the little extra interference if it mskes the bulb work again.

Lesson on video compression too

I think it’s even stupider: the robot’s head tried to follow the removed headset tilting backwards. Thus, the whole machine lost balance.

Reminder that RoboThespian has been able to mirror a human for some 20 years.

AoC stands for Age of Consent

That’s insane… Can’t a website owner require bots (at least those who are identifying themselves as such) to prove at least they’re affiliated with a certain domain?

I don’t know what “12,181+181” means (edit: thanks @[email protected], see Edit 1) but absolutely not 1.2181 × 10¹⁸⁵. That many requests can’t be made within the 39 × 10⁹ bytes of bandwidth − in fact, they exceed the number of atoms on Earth times its age in microseconds (that’s close to 10⁷⁰). Also, “0+57” in another row would be dubious exponential notation, the exponent should be 0 (or omitted) if the mantissa (and thus the value represented) is 0.

99.999999999999% chance the lava lamp inside your computer is broken.

(The difference from 100% might be my CPU’s floating point rounding error)

That would indeed be way (quadratically) more likely but we don’t count the number of attempts but measure run time, and since comparisons (even with optimizations like insertion sort) take time, the speed difference between the two methods will be “just” a few orders of magnitude.

Witkoff is a real estate agent, not a diplomat, and it shows. The deal is largely irrelevant or bullshit.

Earth: layer below electricity, melting and disintegrating

Elon Musk: boring through Earth and strapping hopelessly tiny, exploding rockets to the “Electricity” block to get everything to Mars

Sun: lowermost layer but extending a fist labeled “2027 solar flare” at internet infrastructure

Come on, just include the text in the post body if you wrote it. Links are not what this community is for.

I think GNU is worth more than 0.5 Gemini

Not really world clocks, they just try to use JavaScript to display the device’s time.

Almost ¾ of each 8-bit part! That’s about 230x of the current space!
