  • Isn't she the one with the big sewer improvement project to stop flooding the Seine with poop water whenever it storms? She must be basically an expert on sewers among politicians by now, so I'll trust that assessment.

  • Because wget doesn't use standard output for the downloaded file by default, instead it creates a file with the name in the url in the workingdir. If you want it to use standard output you need -O -

  • "in the lab" is always a dangerous one. If the Tokyo U people only just demonstrated that hard carbon electrode, then who knows if it can be produced at an industrial scale and if that can be done economically. Even if it can, maybe there is still enough time until production picks up that one more technological refresh on the LiFePO4 production is justified in the mean time.

    Besides, there is some inherent inertia, in research, in the markets, in politics. Even if a clear technological winner emerged suddenly some researchers would still have a year or two to finish their grant and publish their findings, some production lines would produce until their eventual superior replacements come online and the stocks would be sold off, and some subsidies would still be payed out until a new law could redirect the funds to only support the acceleration of the new best thing.

  • Pied Piper middle out compression for your RAM

    But seriously it's so ridiculous especially since he said it in an interview with a machine learning guy. Exactly the type of guy who needs a lot of RAM for his own processes working on his own data using his own programs. Where the OS has no control over precision, access patterns or the data streaming architecture.

  • I really wonder about the marketing departments of these things. Why repeat names, if the names already have numbers anyway???

    Need for Speed does the same shit. And even Doom (2016) is called the same as Doom (1993)

  • It's weird, this is presented as new, but I had adblock on Firefox on Android from the start.

    That and flash support were two of the major reasons for using Firefox on Android in the first place. This was back around 2010, when most porn sites still used flash players for video. Then flash died, that was fine. Then at some point Mozilla reduced the available extensions a lot, but at least some adblocker was still available.

  • I thought I made it really obvious, but I guess I'll spell it out explicitly: @DeadlineX@lemm.ee was making a joke, telling you to diversify into covering other things also called mint, like the finance app this comment section is concerned with.

  • I just don’t buy this twice as efficient bullshit.

    Do you understand how heat pumps work? The heat you're drawing on is the the heat of the outside compartment on the outside, therefore the heat moved to the inside can be more than just the heat equivalent of the electric energy you put in. That's how these achieve more than 100% efficiency, in general. In fact if the outside isn't so cold outside they can achieve 300%-500%.

    Now the trick to moving heat from a cold outside compartment to a warmer inside compartment lies in the compression. If you draw even a moderate amount of heat energy into your medium, then compress it, it will turn quite hot allowing you to dump heat into your warm inside compartment. Then as the medium flows out you let it expand and it turns really cold, cold enough that it can draw in heat from the cold outside. But the lower the difference in temperature of the outside air to your expanded medium gets the less heat you can transport per unit of time, that's why we're only looking at 200% here.
