A single atom of gold is far too small for any photon in the visible spectrum to interact with.

A single atom of gold is 0.2 nanometres (a nanometre is an incredibly small thing and a gold atom isn’t even half of 1% of that), meanwhile the wavelength of blue light (The smallest wavelength of visible light) is a hulking 380 nanometres. No matter how much you zoom in you would never see anything a single atom is just too small to interact with light.

Or you know you could just use your own brain which I’m assuming you have and come up with your own opinions.

What do they need an AI for?

Well sort of. But pretty much all of the current emoji are Western inventions. Seriously we added like a bajillion things to it.

The original Japanese ones were only about 25 or something.

I think it’s more that people don’t appreciate the wall of text that you copy and pasted from an AI.

Seriously, you are demonstrating everything that’s wrong with AI. People use it instead of thinking.

It must be stamped out wherever we find it.

I want sloppily made mass produced crap, damn it.

Yeah the problem has always been that solar panels only really like to operate within a very narrow temperature band. It’s why you can’t just plate the Sahara desert in solar panels. In theory that would generate loads of power but the heat of the desert is way outside of their operating range.

There’s been loads of ideas to heat/cool solar panels, the problem up until now has always been to do that without cutting into the panel’s efficiency so much that it isn’t worth doing.

But there’s been videos on YouTube of people cooling solar panels with plasma cooling and phase change materials for a few years now.

Oh good, I was starting to distrust my French.

Why? We don’t need the service to be popular. That’s the great thing about it being decentralised, it kind of doesn’t matter.

Also we don’t want a bunch of French people on here, speaking their strange heathen lingo.

Yeah which is why they’re currently so twitchy.

Of course if they weren’t so aggressive Norway and especially Finland wouldn’t have joined NATO. That’s what I mean about it being a stupid military doctrine, it sort of made sense back in the Soviet era but it has not been updated for the late 20th century, let alone the 21st.

Russia’s current military doctrine is to not allow any Western countries to border their territory (utterly stupid military doctrine but that is Soviet era thinking for you).

Kazakhstan isn’t a Western country so there’s no need to attack them. The problem Russia has is all the oligarchs stole the military funding so they now don’t really have anything except a lot of meat that they can throw into the grinder. That sort of works in Ukraine where NATO aren’t prepared to fully deploy, but that changes if Russia attacks them directly. Then the Western military industrial complex will swing into action and God knows what’ll come out the other side.

If some kind of plausally deniable local insurgency was being backed by Russia, NATO wouldn’t need to worry they would just let the local authorities handle it. If they started turning up with drones, rocket launchers, and military vehicles it would be suspicious so they would have to keep things small scale and if it’s small scale the local military will be able to cope.

I’m just imagining a bunch of right-wing nutcases running around with AKs, they would probably shoot their own feet off.

All that “next countries” are NATO countries. It would not end well for Russia.

Sometimes you’ll search for a ticket and it straight up just doesn’t find it. Then you search for it again and wow, now it’s suddenly appeared.

I would take literally anything above Service Now.

Not unless they’ve managed to fix the wireless charging problem. Namely that it barely functions.

Almost all of the energy goes into heat, it’s ridiculously inefficient.

Reason number 245 of why not to buy a Nintendo switch.

Why should Apple stop doing business in the EU that makes no sense. Why would they deliberately cut themselves off from a huge potential market.

I can already speak to my cat. It’s not really an enlightening conversation it’s basically him demanding food, or he wants to go outside, or he wants better food than the food provided.

That’s basically the extent of his conversation skills.

I mean he’s a cat, he’s not exactly going to talk about politics with me is it even if we could translate between our “languages”

Into volunteers it’s not standard practise to randomly put a chip in your head.
