As I understand it, profit is price minus costs. Profit margin is the percentage of the cost that is profit. So I don't see how they're getting more profit out than the total price? Are they counting extra value from selling or training on the prompt data?

If it'd cost less than say 2x what it'd save, I'd say it's beneficial. Making it obvious that corruption isn't going to work has value, but no need to do really extensive audits just to get the last 0.1% of mistakes/fraud.

He referred to the whole legundarium as growing from a single small idea. I don't know if we know what it was, but it started that way.

Love the upright qualifier, since the last one fell over.

Yeah I think decontamination is standard. But why is this bad for public space exploration?

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And just backwards comparability. Web developers aren't going to fix their old site for your new browser, so you'd need to use the ancient convoluted code base to access them.

Unless you're okay with only using the big new websites. Is it most people only use 4 websites regularly?

[–] JohnDClay 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah that's the most common case. It's big construction, so there'll always be some hazard there.

Wind 0.04 deaths per twh vs nuclear with 0.03

Solar is a little lower than nuclear, presumably because you don't need to work with heights.

Do you have charge/discharge voltage curves for each? I'd imagine if they look practically identical it'd be fine. The issue I think is that the curves for LFP are a lot flatter than NMC.

It'd be more like Fukushima, right? Flooding damage rather than a design flaw explosion.

[–] JohnDClay 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It actually is though. Even counting Chernobyl it has fewer deaths per kwh than wind energy.

Shrinkage while drying may be tricky. You can get all sorts of nasty stresses and irregularities depending on how much it shrinks while drying. Some metal 3d printing has mild shrinkage and gets around it somewhat with massive computations so it shrinks into the right shape, but I don't know how accurate that is.

Which isn't as good as them giving it directly, since Ukraine was already receiving the interest from these assets.

Went on a hike, they loved the sticks, so many to chose from!

 

For the 100th anniversary in 1954, Sylvania set this picture up with thousands of flash bulbs.

Apparently the fireworks were added in post.

 

Extrapolated from current trends

 

What do you think? Can the low efficiency be overcome cost effectively?

 

So many Doritos to choose from.

Interesting plane spotted over Chengdu, looks like a side by side seated trijet.

Mechanical Hand Testing (www.youtube.com)
 

Ian Davis has been working since he lost his fingers to design and build a mechanical hand. He's now looking for other amputees to help him test the design. It's a really cool project, I love following his progress!

 

Is there a way to get villagers with separated arms on bedrock? Would I need to write my own addon? I don't see anything built for that currently.

My end goal would be to get villagers to look like dwarfs, like this resource pack.

Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.

Apparently reddits nuclear subs are anti nuclear now, as they won't let this video be posted.

Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.
