any CompSci grad I’ve worked with couldn’t write code for shit
Damn, that sounds pretty bad.
We had tons of math and theoretical work too, but we also programmed a fair amount: We had to write a renderer in one class, a compiler in another, various Android apps in a third, and in one elective I took we wrote a micro kernel OS as well.
Density comes into it if we are measuring buoyancy. The weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the buoyant object, and the ratio of volume submerged vs above water should give a way to determine density, but I don’t have the precise method in my head right now.
However assuming all you want is the volume, you simply need to fully submerge the object (by applying enough downward force if its density is too low), and the displaced volume is equal to the objects volume. The displaced water will have to flow to the top of the container, so by measuring the rise in water level and multiplying with the base area of your container you can get it easily.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally also measure your hand if you’re pushing down the sphere.
Well yeah, who doesn’t know Robbie Williams? Isn’t he more or less one of the best known solo artists internationally?
Though he now isn’t as young as in that picture anymore.
For reference: I’m Swiss, and in my early 30s
Those two activities are unrelated to me. sock/sock after the shower, shoe/shoe before leaving the dwelling.
Alyssa Rosenzweig. Not Resenzweig. It means Twig of Roses. Here’s her website: https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/
Well… that would be hard. Maintaining, upgrading and extending a corner of the Internet is my day-job.
So I guess the minimum would be that some other international communications network takes over and Swiss tertiary education institutes would all like to be connected to that instead of the Internet.
Then all the multiplayer games I host for my international friend group would also have to support this new stack of protocols, same for my communications channels, most of all chat apps and email. Then I could also move my personal use cases off the Internet.
Then I could be done with it.
The real question is why would we ever do that, it sounds insanely costly, and not that much is wrong with IPv4 and IPv6.
I think the original challenge was that you must choose one guard to pose your one question to. Not one question to both guards.
I haven’t been following any crypto for years, but isn’t burning the pre-mined tokens the bare minimum to keep up appearances?
If you don’t do at least that, do people even go for your shitcoin?
Precisely. Smoother than the finest silks.
And completely smooth, right?
ISP Network Engineer might be something.
It is my current feeling that the blend of physical work to install devices, with the mental work of planning, configuring, documenting, is kind of protecting the field.
Although maybe we are a bit special in my workplace because we don’t have a separation between planners, NOC, and field team. It’s all just the twelve of us, doing bits of everything. Maybe in the big ISPs things are circling the LLM drain as well.
Kids wanted 5 guys, wife + 2 kids.
You know that comma, with no additional verbs, makes it sound like your kids wanted to start their own families, with loads of guys a wife, and two kids of their own.
It’s funny in the first place to argue from what “they allow”. The customer doesn’t have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.
I don’t think it makes any sense either:
The only positive is that the energy will be cheap, and that the computers are safe except from nation state actors and untracked space debris.
I lean towards this being a narrative for the markets. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. claimed a 370 billion USD total addressable market (TAM) in space enabled solutions, and a 26.5 trillion USD TAM for AI in their S-1 filing before going public. They state within that their goal over time is to launch 100 gigawatts of compute to space each year.
By making the claim that this would be worthwhile they present themselves as uniquely positioned to profit from this situation. Moreso than other AI compute companies or other rocket launch companies.
By the way, regarding integration, I just learned from a colleague last week that he uses emacs for editing remote files too. You can just open a file as:
/method:user@host:filename, with method being ssh or ftp for example
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Remote-Files.html
Well I haven’t changed the tools I use (DeepL and Google Translate), but I assume they built in LLMs in the back end.
The only use for machine learning I have is translation software, which was getting pretty good already before the LLM hype. Assuming I’d get that back at the pre-hype levels I’d have zero impact.
I only use it for checking how it would propose to formulate a sentence in French, but then I write my own anyway. Since it would be weird to pretend that was my level of skill towards the customer. Or sometimes I translate back my wobbly French to see if I went really wrong or ran into some false friends (terms that sound similar among the languages but have different meaning).
It’s like consulting the Chess Engine for the engine move to me.
If this software too vanished, then I’d just have to use the online dictionaries even more. And be even slower, but who cares this is only once every few weeks, anyway. Most French speaking Swiss are fine with English in text form too.
Yeah it seems to be a feature of the text editor, it already replaced the combination of input characters with the proper singular output character when I used the preview feature.
For context: The footer of my home instance says that it’s running Lemmy 0.19.20 at the moment, which is the latest stable version. Milan Ihl is good about keeping us up to date.
With that you made an en-dash, not an em-dash.
Let’s see if it does anything if you use three a — b vs two a – b ?
Edit: Yep looks like that’s it.
That island takes up so much mindeshare for many millions of people. Of course someone would spoof their GPS position to propose a PokéStop or Gym there, just for the fun of it.
