What do you mean? I can’t remember hearing anything about effects besides sound. Are you thinking of those microwave emitters?

This isn’t an LRAD brand LRAD Pleb Oppressor TM, but I trust this guy not to overlook some important secondary effect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXKTBQBugIA

Lot of technical specs, not much info on what the point is. What are you going to do, leap off your bike onto the sidewalk if it detects a car approaching? If I’m switching lanes I could see the point but $200, more weight, and more things to charge is a lot to invest in something that’s slightly better than turning my head

Can charge, but it’ll still get tossed, no?

VO2 max is an important stat in training, which a lot of us care about when we cycle

Are you not just talking about a fitted sheet and top sheet? I.e. the standard bedsheet setup?

Yeah, GPU acceleration is currently broken. Something something mlt issue. I’m looking forward to the fix but not holding my breath. I can survive on CPU til then, though

No, I’m cool. I do a good bit of nerdy/antisocial stuff but I’m actually a certified chiller

What exposure meters are they talking about? UV?

Most likely they packed one queen per tube, and then some of the queens had had workers spawn by the time these guys got busted

Lift to Experience, and meWithoutYou. I don’t think either is really evangelizing but they’re heavy on the biblical imagery and allusions. And they’re both certified hood classics

Why eliminate standardized testing?

We’ve already done bosonic sampling that’s classically intractable. Google published it a few years ago. So yes, quantum supremacy has already been proven. It’s a useless toy problem, but one a classical computer just can’t do.

Yes, error correction will get harder the more we scale, but we’re pretty sure we’ve reached the point where we win by throwing more qubits at it. Again, now it’s engineering the scaling. No mean feat, it’ll take a long time, but it’s not like this is all speculation or fraud. The theory is sound

Re: quantum computing, we know quantum advantage is real both for certain classes of problems, e.g. theoretically using Grover’s, and experimentally for toy problems like bosonic sampling. It’s looking like we’re past the threshold where we can do error correction, so now it’s a question of scaling. I’ve never heard anyone discuss a limit on computation per volume as applying to QC. We’re down to engineering problems, not physics, same as your brain vs computer case.

I run jellyfin on my desktop rather than a dedicated HTPC. I’m sure it doesn’t matter, but I don’t want my computer to be doing jellyfin scheduled tasks when I’m doing something important. While if I’m watching something, my computer’s not going to be doing anything other than serving me the content, which seems like an ideal time to do housekeeping

Hostels check your ID when you check in. If the receptionist wants to check that your ID matches your face before you get a room key, you don’t have a choice. I suspect the “flirting” is NYPD bullshit

Do something about it

I did some tire maintenance about six months ago. Generally not bad, but if you don’t have a tank air compressor you’re going to have a hard time seating the thing

Are there any socialist candidates that are pro- gun rights and Ukraine?

And we invented the transistor!

Sounds like you’re thinking of 538’s election needle, not polling data. If a candidate has 60% of the votes in a poll, assuming the poll is accurate, they win 100% of the time. The standard deviation on a population this big is practically 0
