The delta is 300g, which is close(ish) to 254g. But yes, the laptops are heavier than the phones.

What exactly is wasteful about gender-affirming care?

Exactly, it's not like Elon has been shy about using his toys for this admin.

I suspect that's the _ceiling_ of the AI and it's often much dumber.

Spread spectrum, it's pretty magical.

That quiet tension you feel is a valid signal.

Exactly. I remember hearing "tax and spend Democrats" as a slur back in the 90s/00s, but seeing the GOP spend without taxing during those years showed what it was really all about...

If it had been a lab leak, how would that change the behaviors that everyday people would have had to take? The social distancing, masking, handwashing, quarantining would have all been identical.

Say what you mean and you might be better received.

That's where we got a whole lot of dams in the American West!

And how much did it make them over those 5 years?

Androgen insensitivity syndrome means that her cells do not react to testosterone. What male advantage is there if her cells don't react to testosterone?

Tell that to my spouse who, at age 14, was given his contact card by him directly.

And decent on Linux when that was very hard to come by!

The request is for an SVG, generally _not_ the format for photorealistic images. If you want to start your own benchmark, feel free to ask for a photorealistic JPEG or PNG of a pelican riding a bicycle. Could be interesting to compare and contrast, honestly.

Come on, it's the internet, we can't swear here!

The federal government doesn't manage any national credit agencies.

And Chrome!

I use FB via my web browser (Firefox on Android) and when I look at Shorts, it has this exact functionality. Web browsers on mobile can do this, clearly.

Yes and no. There's a group called "true bugs" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiptera as linked above). "Bug" in the common sense doesn't have a precise definition (small arthropod that may or may not be a pest to humans is about as precise as I feel I can get), but there _is_ a scientific definition of "true bug".

You cannot verify anything using a tool that cannot validate truth.

That's not true. Many technologies get more expensive over time, as labor gets more expensive or as certain skills fall by the wayside, not everything is mass market. Have you tried getting a grandfather clock repaired lately?

Unfortunately GV has been having a ~week outage of outgoing MMS group messages. Well, let's say a brownout – many messages make it through to some recipients.

That's one of the ways in which it is cheaper, yes. The touchscreen choice was made rationally, we just disagree on our priors ;-)

Regardless of whether this is a good idea or not (and I'm in the latter camp to be honest), the docs page is _way_ too low contrast to be readable. I'm all for dark mode but I shouldn't have to be in a completely darkened room to be able to read the fine manual!

At a previous role, we needed nanosecond precision for a simulcast radio communications system. This was to allow for wider transmission for public safety radio systems without having to configure trunking. We could even adjust the delay in nanoseconds to move the deadzones away from inhabited areas.

We solved this by having GPS clocks at each tower as well as having the app servers NTP with each other. The latter burned me once due to some very dumb ARP stuff, but that's a story for another day.

Many are! I live in NY and 511ny.org has a great view of all traffic cams in the state (and some beyond it, but I don't understand how they got on the list...)

I believe they mean that Crowdstrike learned that they could screw up on this level and keep their customers....

Exactly. Enron was a publicly traded company doing weird circular financing stuff. It was all in the open for anyone who cared to look. Just no one did until the music stopped...
