  • Giraffes are mammals and only have 1 heart. It's freaking huge, though, at 11 kilos.

    octopus and cuddlefish and similar frequently have multiple "hearts" but they're not the same as mammalian hearts. Briachiosaurus probably had an even larger heart than a giraffe, but it was still a singular, 4 chambered hear.

  • My concern would be complexity.

    More points to fail, and I’m not sure that it reduces single-points of failure much.

  • Perfectly healthy? Probably the only real advantage is redundancy, but that comes at the cost of complexity, and on balance, I’d guess that it’s a net negative.

    Mostly because I can’t think of any organism that normally has 2 hearts. If there were real advantages, it seems, I dunno. Inevitable?

  • Except that LLMs are not corporations. they're owned by corporations.

  • I'd imagine you could find a language instructor that could go both ways.

    (you know what I mean. Teach the one family english and the other french.)

  • I’m a little concerned that democrats are giving him the out, though. Like.

    No.

    He did it because he’s a fucking Nazis.

  • They’re software.

    Copyright is for stuff produced by people, not tools. Passing a board through a planer doesn’t make it copyrighted, either.

  • Hawk Nearly Killed!

  • I mean, unlike a certain president. With “bone spurs”.

    That hawks face … pure shock and embarrassment.

  • definitely a nerd's nerd.

  • if putting it in your mouth is off the table, noses and ears are still available.

  • followed by SCROTUS' capitulation and groveling.

  • Minneapolis is the best of the two twin cities :)

    Sorry, St Paul. All you’ve got going is Casetta’s and Can Can Wonderland.

  • so by way of examples, going to some extremes...

    Kent County, Texas is one of the most rural counties in the US. with Jayton hosting its county court house. As of the 2020 census, the entire county has less than one thousand people. The terms small town/town are somewhat nebulous, But usually in really rural places it’s someplace with a few shops and maybe a neighborhood and school and stuff.

    This is a sat photo of Jayton, compliments of google maps:

    Jayton has about 500 people.

    Note, that the mile is about 1.25 miles/ 2 km's north to south and about the same in east west. (at least, as far the structures/housing goes.) to get an idea of what it looks like there, here's the streetview in front of the court house.

    zooming out to kent county, there's like 5 towns in that entire square, note the distance marker down at the bottom being about 8 km:

    now, compare that to new york city:

    Note, the distance marker at the bottom being about 3 km.

    zooming in to roughly the same scale as the photo on jayton.... randomly....

    and here's a few courthouses in brooklyn....

    and the king's county courthouse on streetview

  • This is why I named my strain "Golden Kubernetes"

    keep the server farm in front of the weed grow. they'll lose interest. (as they say, business in front, party in the back. Just not for hair.)

  • I think I’m gonna need at least a few more!

    (What? Poppy looks fun! Torties are the best.)

  • yes. And then it's literally just a... reboot.

    You don't sit there waiting for it to install. It's just restarting the kernel so the newly-installed version takes over. (and generally it only applies to the kernel updates.)

  • I do pickled red onions instead of sauerkraut on a Rueben. Also have some type of pepper (and whole cloves of garlic,) in with the onion.

  • Mike also believes it’s moral to watch porn with his son. So this is unsurprising.

  • They still haven’t figured out how to do updates without installing during a reboot.

    Something Linux has been doing since the 90’s
