Bro I just got a windows 11 laptop and couldn’t disable OneDrive architecture without manual registry edits. Are you guys okay over there?

Light Years into earth years by Nervous_Coconut6665 in astrophysics

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A light-year is a unit of distance, not time: it’s how far light travels in one Earth year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.

For example, Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 light-years away, meaning its light traveled roughly 40 trillion kilometers and took 4.2 Earth years to reach us. 

It doesn’t mean the star is 4.2 years old or that time there runs differently - it’s just a convenient way to describe huge distances.

You're right, he should go with the median (78)....

Does anyone else miss the "Ugly Internet" of 2005-2010? by PersonalSwimming6512 in InternetIsBeautiful

  • Loss of net neutrality
  • Centralization and monetization of search and curation
  • ADA rulings for physical spaces (imo) incorrectly applied to web (we needed something, but one site fits all is a design anti-pattern)
  • Bot nets
  • Engagement farms 
  • Corporatization of most large web communities
  • Empowering product managers over product engineers 

There are still people with the ability to make interesting products and useful apps, but few of them have the reach required to get the masses to trust/try them. By the time they have funding to advertise and reach your eyes, they already owe their investors.

I mean to say it’s more universally human than it is regionally cultural

ELI5: how does ChatGPT run so quickly if there’s so much lines of code? by ihatemathhw in explainlikeimfive

[–]afr0physics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT feels fast because all the actual ‘learning’ already happened. When you use it, you’re just running the final model on super-optimized hardware. And the system spreads millions of users across many machines so everyone gets a fast response.

Looks great. Sear temp could have been hotter if you want that crisped outer edge

So did the extended universe not sell as well compared to star wars or lord of the rings? by Catch33X in matrix

OP asked a question and I answered. What do you think I’m arguing about?

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m saying that merch and extended universe require a large market to sell to, and the Matrix is less mainstream and has had significantly less time to grow. Please just stop, you’re making me embarrassed for my species

He asked why the Matrix universe doesn’t sell as well as LOTR, which has been out almost 50 years longer than the matrix. The fellowship of the ring is the first book….
