Some back of the envelope: An ideal black-body at 100 C will radiate something like a kW pr m2, give or take. So one h100 at 700W(?) would probably need a reflector of around one m2. Very rough but it’s probably within an order of magnitude so it’s not impossible, but just adds to the engineering and logistics challenges.

And also, that’s a pretty big if!

Ding ding ding!

Bingo. Yet another example of an age effect being attributed to a generational difference. I’m so tired of these horoscope-like characterizations of people

An LED is, anyway

“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”

It does not say that. It literally said that a new version is available and asks if you want to download it

So it’s just pronounced “nat-han” then?

But are they really 17% interest rate?

Is this an actual thing in the us? We don’t have 50 year mortgages in Denmark but I can get a 30 year fixed interest at 3.5%

You know what would end poverty? A trillion dollars

Hard to say, really. Yes, MS can absorb loss if the value of their stake in OpenAI goes to $0 overnight, but how much of their stock value is based on expectations that they can sell cloud compute for billions of dollars? And how many private and institutional investors have a stake in that?

Where I’m at now we have those phone booth-style boxes for (video-)calls. They are pretty horrible but a big improvement over having people making calls in the shared space.

I’ve had a couple of months in a cubicle ones and I found it kinda eerie. I think it’s because it’s very clear that we were 20 people in the same office each of us pretending to be alone. I’d much rather have a shared office space with, like, 10 people…

It’s just that I kinda like being conscious…

Depends. Like OP I stopped pirating when they made Netflix available in Denmark, and like OP I’m also feeling the deteriorating device. But finding danish content in the public trackers seems a lot harder than it was in ye old days

This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump “daddy”. It’s completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I don’t even know who should be most embarrassed, the bootlickers or Trump for being transparently narcissistic that everyone realizes bootlicking works

Two words: Compound interest 🚀

Darwin approved this statement

In Danish you might say “that’s not something to yell hurrah over” or “that’s not exactly something you would write home about”
