Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

I just passed the post you meant to reply to and it clicked for me. Weird!

I am so confused by your comment. Did you comment on the right post? What would you make smell bad in this context

Not all gas, coal and oil are consumed to generate electricity. Lots is converted directly to energy in engines, furnaces, or other direct uses for the materials. They are saying that the title refers to 40% of the total electricity production is generated by renewables.

Not classical but a piece of music everyone knows nut few can name is Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs: https://youtu.be/_bpS-cOBK6Q?feature=shared

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I’m with you on the bahn mi, every time I have it I’m like “Why do I not eat this more often!?”

The original image has something along the lines of “I hate this system” and the smug guy in the well is saying “Ah, and yet you participate in said system!” as a gotcha. I think the purpose in this one is just carrying over the smugness with which people post the XKCD when any new possible technological standard is proposed (whether or not it has any merits)

You can drag the line in the middle back and forth to show the whole place before or after.

Works on my machine

Yes, but it may be worth looking up the conversion rate from AUD to USD before making that comparison directly.

I recently moved closer to work, so now my commute is a 10-15 minute ebike ride. I really enjoy the ride, and (along with a small dose of caffeine) it really serves to wake me up in the morning. Basically my only complaint is that when it gets cold and rainy it can be hard to bring up the motivation to get on and ride. Honestly though, it’s nothing that can’t be overcome by some good rain gear. Honestly, I highly recommend going out and taking a nice ebike for a ride if anyone is on the fence about it. I was convinced pretty quickly.

I often wonder how many of my “Aha!” moments are related to background data I didn’t notice consciously at first

That’s actually what the tab heading says if you open it in browser. “Google Graveyard - Killed by Google”

I didn’t mean to argue against the usefulness of LLMs entirely, they absolutely have their place. I was moreso referring to how everyone and their dog are making AI assistants for tasks that need accurate data without addressing how easy it is for them to present you bad data with total confidence.

Thank you for putting it far more eloquently than I could have

This demonstrates in a really layman-understandable way some of the shortcomings of LLMs as a whole, I think.

At first I read it too fast and read he was getting top surgery. Would have been more newsworthy.

Assuming we ever find a way to get the plastic out of everything
