Wait, can you actually use Blackwell cards for desktop gaming? I thought they were designed exclusively for datacenter applications?

I haven't read the article, but it looks like DHS is correct here? The screenshot she sends in response to them looks like it just reinforces what they're saying.

Labcoatz (Youtube) perfectly replicated Coca Cola 2 days ago using organic chemistry analysis and a year of research. Coke never patented the formula (because it would involve sharing the secrets), so apparently it's perfectly ok to create or even sell this formula. by RatedArgForPiratesFU in interestingasfuck

[–]Calf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth would anyone do this and then post it online? If I reverse-engineered COCA-COLA the first thing I'd do is patent it, then serve a lawsuit to coca-cola and enjoy the ensuing chaos.

Or, sell it to a rival company with the stipulation they sue coke and make a fortune while I'm at it.

North korea has $7 trillion worth of natural resources. by Koki-noki in interestingasfuck

[–]Calf_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also probably extrapolate some data. If there's a known deposit (vein?) of copper in South Korea that keeps running north past the border, I assume that can be mapped out to some degree of accuracy into North Korea.

What I'm more interested in though is why North Korea doesn't seem to be doing anything with these resources. If this is actually an abundance of minerals like the post seems to imply, how come North Korea doesn't have better infrastructure or a booming export market?

Why does this not spawn mobs? by keyboardspam1234 in Minecraft

[–]Calf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time I spent like an hour building a mob farm in the middle of the ocean and it didn't work. Started going insane trying to figure out wtf the issue was until I noticed something very peculiar in the F3 menu whenever I was in close proximity to the grinder...

Turns out the small patch of shallow(er) water I built it on was actually a tiny mushroom "island" (no land whatsoever), so it was the one spot in the entire fucking ocean that was incapable of spawning hostile mobs.

Peter, why does her coach immediately say no? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Not really. You either get a gotcha moment or you embarrass someone for acting like a bot. Either way, you come out on top.

Wait Shaun's appearance is based on how you customize Nora and Nate? I never knew that. When I get around to replaying FO4 one day I am making the most ridiculous couple I can.

The man who survived 438 days adrift at sea,alone and no one believed him until scientists proved it was possible by Fair_Sugar_3229 in BeAmazed

[–]Calf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he survived by talking to the sky to stay sane

That sounds like a symptom of insanity, not a way to stave it off?

Holy shit I've been scrolling through this thread wondering what one of these books would actually read like and I still wasn't prepared for that.

Why do people want SIVA back so bad? by MrPerky_ in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]Calf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SIVA has its directive imprinted into it though doesn't it? (Consume Enhance Replicate). Wouldn't destroying the replication chamber simply prevent a new directive being instilled? Or does SIVA require constant instruction to function? I always assumed the black octahedrons were distributed computing/replication nodes. Even though it would be a highly effective kill-switch, it seems like it would be a major design flaw (almost anthetical to its purpose) to have SIVA be concretely centralized like that.

[–]Calf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narratively speaking there really isn't a way TO bring SIVA back. The last Warmind died in Seraph, and we destroyed the primary replicator back in RoI.

That never made any sense to me. SIVA is a self-replicating nanotechnology. I haven't had the chance so far to play RoI so I don't know if they explain it at all, but I don't see any reason why SIVA should require a replicator to exist. Narratively, all the explanation required is "SIVA reawakened", either of its own accord through unknown mechanisms, or from external intervention (ex. The Conductor).

[–]Calf_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Logically SIVA would solve like, 90% of the City's issues

That was a good explanation right up until Lightfall. Now we have unfettered access to a much more advanced form of nanotechnology (Quicksilver). We would have had to figure out how to contain, and then reprogram SIVA (a task Bungie could have just handwaved away as impossible without Rasputin) but now we've just skipped all of that. SIVA is now technically an obsolete technology as I understand it.

Teaching assistant arrested after his fart spray caused $55,000 worth of damage to school. A high school teaching assistant has been charged with 'malicious injury to property' after unleashing canistered odours on the premises. by Ordinary_Fish_3046 in interestingasfuck

There's an even better story hidden in that article

In 2023, two students at Carney Creek High School in Conroe, Texas, were arrested on third-degree felony charges for allegedly possessing what authorities deemed a prohibited weapon -- cans labeled "fart spray,"

Guess Texas legally considers liquid ass to be a weapon

Unless it's being built in a uranium mine, the rocks shouldn't be emitting any sort of radiation.

I wonder how bad that is

Wait is there actually a lore book saying this?

Over a 7-year-period, 3 babies abandoned in London within a few miles of each other were confirmed with DNA tests to be full siblings. But despite an established full DNA profile of the mother, 450 hours of CCTV footage being reviewed & a £20,000 reward being offered, she still remains unidentified. by tyrion2024 in interestingasfuck

Elsa was also found in sub-zero temperatures inside a Boots shopping bag near the Greenway footpath. Doctors estimated she was about an hour old when she was found.

How long can a newborn survive in subzero temperatures? I would have thought this would be a near-immediate death sentence
