I would rather have a nice popup on first attempt "this application is monitoring your clipboard, allow?", ideally with that process completely suspended while that prompt is up. This should be behind a toggle driven by intent, ra

They're either dishonest, or they're too stupid to know how to use the internet. You pick. Seriously, what's the alternative here? The only exception would be an honest person too afraid to speak up, to correct the dishones

If an author let AI do 90 to 95% of the work, cleaned up the remaining 5 to 10% themselves, would you say AI or the author wrote it? Because this is roughly the split between an author and an editor, with human writing, now.

"Contact killing" is real [1]. A copper ring will definitely kill some bacteria/virus on the skin immediately near where they touch. Related, most copper solutions are considered hazardous waste. [1] https://pmc.nc

That article has a very silly conclusion with the whole obesity example, and doesn't understand the actual conclusion that the sensitivity analysis that these numbers are derived from, means (especially with their plant example).

The fact that the equation 440 * 2^((n-49)/12) is nowhere to be found makes me strongly disagree.

I suspect she was pushed along by adults, with particular motives, more than anything. Regardless, nobody involved is honest, and I suspect the honest ones were told the be quiet.

It's a standard subwoofer speaker/driver put in a ported enclosure, running at 30Hz, creating a particularly "fast punch" sub. The design of this would have all the same goals of a normal subwoofer: moving a bunch of air

Do those problems exist as much if the excess was forced into them investing into a certain type of power generation? It seems less "heavy handed", since it's a proper investment for them. I enjoy a particularly nasty utili

Does that change the math above if they're tied into the grid? If they're tied directly to the renewables (Meta is doing this in some places), then true, not a technical increase. But you could still maybe claim they're inste

Sure, but it seems very reasonable to expect some co-hosting of latency sensitive tasks, especially with some low hanging thin client fruit, like cloud gaming and the like. I've been very happy not burning a thousand watts of $0.45&#

There's also a power generation water cost though! Something like 500g/MWh for gas/coal/nuclear (~70% of power in AZ), so a huge xAI datacenter (Colossus 2, ~1 GW/h) would use ~700 MW of this type, or ~350k gallons
