Same, I distro-hopped a bunch when I built this PC last year and landed on Fedora (funny enough, the one I tried right before was Nobara), and it's been more than good enough so far that I don't feel the need to switch. At this point, most of the time I kinda forget that I'm using Linux because things just work that smoothly. Definitely a huge leap from even ~5 years ago.

By the end of the year he'll declare the war "over", regardless of what's actually going on.

As others have said in other posts, the cat's out of the bag. No matter if/when/how bad the AI crash is, if computing is still viable after then there will be AI.

I think eventually it will emerge that the highest quality AI code will be produced by already experienced developers, who can identify when it's produced slop and fix it, and that will be the case no matter how good the models get.

I of think of it somewhat like managing a team of interns. You give them instructions and they give you code. You still have to know enough to identify if that code meets the requirements and is of good quality.

The Alberta/BC border runs about midway through the Rocky Mountain range, both Banff and Jasper parks are in Alberta.

Escape - The pina colada song

I see someone didn't read the rules...

I got literally that procedure at a date and time of my choice at a hospital in Canada, for free. I literally walked home from the hospital, and was back to normal within a week.

I hate the fact that I recognized that immediately

Plastic plumbing is only useful a) up to a certain size since it's not strong enough to support the weight and pressure beyond, and b) terrible at moving heat across, so it can't be used in radiators and definitely not in on-die cooling blocks.

Metal pipes can be coated on the inside to prevent corrosion, but that coating also reduces the amount of heat that transfers out - basically a layer of insulation. This is a big issue that had to be overcome for liquid sodium cooling in reactors, but those don't need to have a super thin copper plenum on a processor chip, it's larger pipes moving a larger volume of liquid through a significantly higher temperature difference.

However, salt water in a secondary, or even tertiary, loop could be used. It would be a similar concept to reactors, where the primary loop is 100% closed and uses a coolant designed for the task, and that then transfers heat through a reverse-flow chiller that's fed on the other side with salt water. The coolant pipes can be bare copper/aluminum/alloy for better heat transfer and the salt water side can be coated, and the surface area or flow volume just increased to compensate.

The downside though that can't be avoided is that your data center now has to be very close to an ocean, and the salt in the air could also cause problems.

Statement holds true today as well

Going out on a limb that most of the Filipinos in that crowd didn't vote for Trump, being that it happened in Canada

Spent nearly 10 years working call center jobs, every single one of them had QA people listening to random calls and grading them. If you didn't stick to the script or try to sell the thing or whatever it was, you'd get a failing grade on the call. Enough of those and you're gone.

You're also graded on how long each call takes based on a metric called "Average Handle Time" or AHT which was set by the client based on whatever fucking fantasy they had about how long each call should take.

Fun fact, some contracts I worked on had an AHT requirement that was lower than the amount of time it would take to go through all of their required scripted sales pitches without even addressing the reason for the call. It was literally impossible to get full marks because you either had to skip most of their required scripts, not help the customer, or have the call run long.

I'm a guy, but I don't think I need to explain to anyone the potential complications from going around topless as a woman... Whether trans or not.

It's normal and fairly mundane for men to go topless in virtually all societies, however, there are a good number of cultures where it is also normal for women to be topless. If it is normal and mundane for women to be topless, then it becomes a non-issue eventually. It's only racy because we're trained in our culture to find it racy.

Homebrewer here, they generally don't die, they just go dormant. It's quite normal to harvest yeast at the end of fermentation, to the point where many breweries do so to save money. You can even use the harvested yeast to make bread with (which is how bread used to be made)

When I was a kid (80s-90s), we just wore a coloured pinny.

so.. cousin? second cousin?

Also, for a long time one of the only ways a non-rich person could get an education was by joining the clergy

During prohibition era, there was a brick of dried grapes being sold as a nutrition supplement or something like that, but it had a "warning" sticker attached saying specifically not to dissolve it in a specific quantity of water, and if that were to happen, do not let a specific quantity of yeast to fall in it, and especially not to let it sit for 6 weeks, or else you might end up with wine, which is forbidden!

I can see a cheeky sort of company selling a phone with a little warning label attached to it.....

It's the level of hoops an ADHD person needs to jump through to get any treatment, let alone adequate treatment. Forms, calling for appointments, more forms, tracking stuff, nagging your doctor to full prescriptions, and so on. Every step of which is another wall to climb for an ADHD person.

Everything about the process to get both diagnosed and treated involves tasks that are not compatible with the ADHD brain.
