Literally Sha'Carri Richardson was banned from competing in the Tokyo Olympics by the US Anti-Doping Agency because she smoked weed to help cope with the death of her mother. You're making a big deal arguing that something that really does actually happen doesn't for some reason.

Ok, so he goes home at night, smokes a joint before bed, and is back in the gym the next day. Working year-round doesn't mean you have zero free time.

That's exactly how you guesstimate CPU performance. It obviously won't be accurate to real life use cases, but you don't necessarily need benchmarks to get a ballpark comparison of raw performance. The standard comparison is FLOPS, floating point operations per second. Yes different architectures have different instruction sets, but they're all relatively similar especially for basic arithmetic. It breaks down with more complex computations, but there's only so many ways to add two numbers together.

24 threads at 2.00 GHz vs. 8 threads at 0.66 GHz with a 40% difference in TDP. The AMD chip may draw more power, but has much higher performance. Simplifying things, it can perform 9x the operations as the Apple silicon for only 1.4x the power draw.

I'd imagine it also makes repairs easier. Say a car hits a fire hydrant. It's really only going to damage the part above ground. Having that part bolted on means you don't have to dig out and replace the entire thing.

Google has shown time and time again they couldn't care less how malicious an ad is, they're still getting paid

KOSA is the one thing that the "both sides bad" group have going for them. The Democrats true colors really shine with their support of it. I'm well and truly shocked it's the Republicans who killed it, though I suspect that's because it wasn't "rules for thee, not for me" enough for them.

Using AI to detect AI is completely useless. It's been a big issue in academics, where a professor will plug your essay into an AI detector and then you get dinged for plagiarism because your entirely handwritten essay gets marked as AI. It's just glorified pattern matching, it has no concept of real or fake.

I've been assuming all climate goals are a joke. It's a way of saying "look we care!" without actually having to do anything

While that may "solve" the issue, it's still due to a faulty physical component. A software update is just a bandaid over the real problem.

To be fair, it's not an issue with just Tesla, but basically all modern software. The end user has become the beta tester.

I don't think OP is telling us, specifically, to stop using Twitter. It's more of a "Why are people still using Twitter?"

As much as I hate them, ads. The same newspapers have always made money. Along with the Wikipedia route of asking for donations

Gifting someone a news article feels so dystopian

To a certain extent, it actually is magic. We still don't fully understand the "why" of magnetism, just the "how"

Lemmy is the only social media I actively interact with because of the unwavering support from Ada and Kaity to make this a safe space for all trans and queer people. I really feel at home here.

"Well they're both on the same piece of paper, so they're clearly a single subject."

I really want to stop eating Chipotle, but I'm autistic and it's one of my few safe foods that I just can't give up.

Alternative title: Psychopaths have more psychopathic traits than non-psychopaths

I have a family member who works for AT&T. Run far far away and consider yourself lucky you couldn't get an interview.
