Old doctor joke: Patient: “Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this.” Doc: “Quit doing that!” Same holds true of social pain. Trust yourself, stay true to yourself, avoid the pain sources, and ‘find the others’.

Going by ‘colour’, I’d guess that headline came from the UK. Writing them is a tricky, trippy task.


Electrics produce maximum torque at 0 rpm …


Yep, I noticed that, you’re right. And that’s near-miraculous efficiency. The maker’s website sez: “YASA also estimates that its all-important continuous power will be in the region of 350kW-400kW (469bhp-536bhp).” It also sez: "To achieve a 750kW short-term peak rating and a density of 59kW/kg … " Devi’ls in the details … The image on the ‘superblondie’ page shows A LOT of cooling built into whatever metal that is: https://supercarblondie.com/wp-content/uploads/YASA-tiny-electric-motor.webp


I think he was trying to admit he doesn’t know shit about electric motors.


Yep, Thatcher. Among her pals were Ronald Reagan and Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.


Oh those mathers. At least scientists are humble enough to recognize that theorums about the physical world can’t be proven.


Oh noes, how could that -possibly- scale?


It was a decent summary, I was replying when you pulled it. Analog has its strengths (the first computers were analog, but electronics was much cruder 70 years ago) and it is def. a better fit for neural nets. Bound to happen.


Nice thorough commentary. The LiveScience article did a better job of describing it for people with no background in this stuff.
The original computers were analog. They were fast, but electronics was -so crude- at the time, it had to evolve a lot … and has in the last half-century.


And the source of this information is …


I’d guess that PE’s aren’t motivated by people’s health, unlike health professionals. So where are the laws to keep them from being nabbed by rent-seekers


Colonialism is when capitalists do to other countries what they’ve practiced doing in their own.


" Word will now save new documents to OneDrive by default — and that changes everything"
Wouldn’t it be great if all your docs were stored out in the cloud? Just think, you wouldn’t need a hard drive! And someone else could guard them for you, like, say, Deputy Dan. http://descope.kwwhitaker.com/wallofscience.html


Nope, and this one is NOT going to change that … can’t take all that cutesy animation and the fast-flowing babble for 2 minutes, let alone 12


This video is very probably also AI slop


It really helps to try to think about the other side of any question. That’s what good debaters do, so they can figure out the best responses to what the others’ arguments might be.
When these LLMs keep agreeing with you, they’re actually weakening the likelihood that you’ll work out a fully-formed opinion.


Me too … LEMMY added that, out of my control. So I replaced it with my idea of what a typical LLM looks like.


You -do- realize you’re getting advice from a machine that constructs sentences using mathematical algorithms, and has no clue at all what it’s saying … right?
People everywhere falling for the same 10-thousand-year-old scams?
