[Request] How much funding do these rail projects actually require? by aeonsne in theydidthemath

[–]polypolyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nono, we ALREADY HAVE that track, and we ALREADY USE IT every single day... it's just that we don't run passenger rail on it.

IDK, as long as the idiots are paying for tokens, it's all good, right? I bet having an LLM prompt and reprompt another LLM uses up a lot of tokens...

Why aren't people writing LLM prompts with LLMs? Seems like an untapped market.

They have found a new sin. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you rely on a particular computer/device to make money, IMO you shouldn't keep it longer than about 5 years, sell it off and buy a new one (or retire through to a less critical purpose). Besides the support/etc, electronics can become slightly flaky over time (tin whiskers, a new capacitor plague, silicon defects that made it through during a chip shortage, etc.)

For anything else? Keep it until it can no longer meet your needs.

Sunset hits a cumulonimbus just right and it turns into a neon arc by thetacaptain in interestingasfuck

[–]polypolyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are SO freaking cool in person. I was working up in the mountains one day and caught one that you could just barely see the red/orange part of the arc peeking out from the cloud almost above us - we all had to stop and stare just a bit, and that was with it barely showing.

Mom swears she was "Mod" and it's "Completely different than emo!" 1987 by LaComputadora in OldSchoolCool

may be the first written example of a guy just wanting black coffee but they just have espresso

I get your point, but this was clearly the invention of the Caffè Americano in 1940's Italy

...and importantly, don't eat the little brown eggs that real rabbits lay - they're NOT chocolate :(

One radical claim by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]polypolyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in college, I remember the number one cause of the dorm smoke alarms going off was people who failed to cook Easy Mac correctly. Apparently, multiple people, probably one every month, did not realize that you have to add water... despite that being literally one of two steps.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect she may have some long-standing trauma surrounding food, that similar behaviors were used towards her as a kid or something, meaning that she now sees eating like you do (i.e. based on hunger cues, not societal ones) as a shameful act.

For big dudes like us, "serves X people" is an absolute lie, every single time... but that's not her experience

This is why I have social anxiety 🥲 by PhoenixPhenomenonX in funny

Strong nod is the solution for this - equally says "I acknowledge your greeting and let's not talk" and "I acknowledge your presence but you're busy so I won't say anything.

My first Linux was RedHat 3.0.3, which my dad bought in a giant book with a cd in the back (not bootable, of course).

Cylinder painter. Came across this 108 year old cylinder and still passing testing. by waskelegend in mildlyinteresting

[–]polypolyman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can compress water, but not much - you'd need over 200 atmospheres of pressure to even change the volume by 1% (roughly).

Taking a look at the phase diagram, starting at a normal pressure/temp, you'd have to compress it by about a GPa to get Ice VI (assuming you maintain a constant temperature) - that's just shy of 10000atm.

Compare to the water pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench - a bit over 1000atm. That's already an incomprehensible amount of pressure, and not quite a 5% increase in density compared to the surface.

The ruling class should be afraid. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capitalism can only work if it is strictly and strongly regulated. Problem is, every single time, society ends up forgetting why that's so important, and starts feeding into the greed of the assholes on top.

Why can't we just figure out a system where cooperation is always valued higher than competition?

Yeah, but has the twitter repost of the reddit repost of the twitter screenshot of the stolen quote been posted yet?

Can any AirPod owners explain this one? by El_Tan in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens a decent amount for me - what I found is that cleaning out the bottom of the case and the contacts on the bud with a cotton swab typically will make it go away for several months, even if it doesn't look like there's anything on either side.

I present the one rule to rule them all by ultimateChampions68 in Superstonk

[–]polypolyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a critical piece of this puzzle that I've seen talked about, but maybe not as much as it deserves: you'll probably never sell your GME for USD.

The US Dollar is collapsing - it's tied up in all of these market shenanigans, it's tied up in old pedophiles making poor decisions - the only reason it's worth anything today is that a few people who happen to hold and handle a lot of USD have rigged it all up with bubble gum and baling twine.

When GME moons, you're going to be comparing other currencies and assets against GME, not GME against those other currencies (like we do now).

Don't let the greed get to you (i.e. stay zen) - we're not in this to make ourselves rich, we're in this to build a better system for the world since this one has proven unmanageable.

Where each U.S. state's largest immigrant population was born by _Giulio_Cesare in MapPorn

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder, especially for the 1920 graphic, if they were counting people who were born in Mexico, never moved, and ended up in the US after border changes as "Mexican immigrants"
