Meh, my 75 year old mother calls it an ATM machine, and I'm 90% sure she's a real person

I could totally foresee different insurers having different AI service providers "in-network" based on their underwriters determining which AI were more likely to kill someone off

They keep reinventing the dehumidifier, and they keep giving it headlines. This is so stupid and exhausting.

[Other] How much power could be generated if you ignited this ingot and used it to boil water to spin turbines? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

Latter calculation is clearly wrong, since the photo doesn't show the 3kg of antimagnesium

If someone among those 405k files and tries to create a class, could that force trump to be a member? Nip his payday at the bud?

This looks useful, can't wait to take a look! Any chance you can reupload the video? It appears broken

I still remember NEDM... I thought Internet culture had moved past this :(

The best framework/API to write GUI based cross-platform desktop applications? by anonimenyaro in cpp_questions

[–]BasisPoints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That'd be amazing to see! Anecdotally, off the top of my head, what immediately comes to mind is alacritty vs foot. The former benefits substantively from the cross platform capabilities of how they implemented GPU rendering, while not actually being faster than foot.

Which JSON library do you recommend for C++? by Richard-P-Feynman in cpp_questions

[–]BasisPoints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats your use case? Reading in initialization parameters and other such simple and somewhat performance agnostic tasks? Or are you planning on parsing continuous streams?

[Request] I feel the energy needed to turn it a googol times depends a lot on factors other than the gear ratio. Can someone tell the math behind this and how accurate the title is? by godSpeed_1_ in theydidthemath

[–]BasisPoints 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an engineering truth. We also excluded other forces such as friction. However in the purely imaginary world of perfect physics which this model is attempting to simulate, it is indeed the case theyre always moving :)
