I don’t know enough about the subjects to go into details, but I know enough to say that that is reductive. ARM/alternatives are not inherently better, at least not universally. And, especially because of the inertia, I do not expect x86 to be fully replaced on the desktop any time soon. The motivations behind companies such as Apple using ARM likely have more to do with licensing than anything else

It’s probably more useful to think of x86 and ARM as slightly different tools that are slightly better suited to different tasks. Desktop, server (and possibly high-performance) computing are x86’s specialty, and I do not expect it to be replaced

All-in-all, from what I know, the practical differences between ARM and x86 are nowhere near large enough to be compared to something like the electric vs internal combustion engine. It’s probably closer to a difference of, say, a typical train and a subway

But, please read up on this yourself. I am not an expert in hardware, this is just what i casually picked up as a layperson

It’s very much not? It’s not even certain if an alternative architecture will ever fully replace it

I don’t think it would be worth it, as the thermal conduction would be far too low to be useful

However, it would be a useful ability in extreme environments, such as space or Antarctica or something like that. So your chances of becoming an astronaut would massively increase.

Uh, that’s not how orbital mechanics work

And also, let’s say we have to remove 10% of the moon’s mass to noticeably affect the tides (and it’s not enough to just mine it, you’d also need to remove it from the moon’s gravity well which is… A whole thing by itself, so let’s ignore that for funsies), which is about 7*10^21 kg. I can’t find statistics for total mining activity, but we mine about 2.6 * 10^12 kg iron each year. Let’s just take the 10x value of that to be safe, 2.6*10^13 “stuff” mined each year

In order to mine 10% of the moon’s mass, it’d take roughly 10^8 years, or written out, 100 000 000 years

And, as mentioned, this is while ignoring that you’d need to actually remove the moon’s mass from its gravitational well, which simply won’t be done at this scale

Worrying about this problem is so ridiculously out of scope that it’s laughable

Why a gas burner specifically? Induction stove tops are more controllable

You can’t exactly compare the studio to how it was a decade ago…

Sure, but space habitats are far far more useful than underwater ones

There is definitively no shortage of challenges in orbit

With VR an important aspect you’re not mentioning is the 3D movement you are now able to do, inhabiting the played character in a more true to form way

This was a horrific fact to read

Hell yea

🥺

Your thirst is mine, my water is yours

I also want to clarify, we can create asymmetrical encryption algorithms that are quantum resistant but not quantum themselves

Quantum encryption probably won’t be in mass use anytime soon, but for extra sensitive applications

I’ve seen a lot of articles that were like “scientists do this!!” And never link to the actual study (not including this article)

What happened to citing your sources?

Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?

Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence (the military and the police). Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day, and making you powerless against injustice.

i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.

Gotta have better sleepovers then. Ones where vibrators are welcomed, not shamed

Or the French revolution, for that matter

Sure, we are irrational and emotional, but the whole idea of modern society is that we surpass those base level instincts into rationality and consistency. Consistency is still important and something that should be focused on

I guess because the Gen Z comp sci students are the people who are truly fluent in computers. We were immersed in the internet and digital technology from a young age, but also had the curiosity to go beneath the surface of them, and get a real understanding of how things work. Most people just use the technology superficially, even if they have grown up with the internet and computers.
