I mean most pcgamers probably have more powerful hardware already

According to Valve, it should outperform or match 70% of current PCs owned by gamers. So while not crazy powerful, it might be an affordable (hopefully) upgrade for some more low spec gamers.

I think talking with his boss, your boss and HR (possibly all in one meeting) sounds like a reasonable first step. If it doesn’t work out or help, I’d try talking to him. You could get one or two coworkers as backup to come with you, just to make his personality issues less threatening. If this doesn’t work or maybe even make it worse, you could get some earplugs or ANC headphones to make it less of an issue for you. Good luck!

I think this is just worded poorly. What they meant is that you can trade in an iPhone 13 Pro or newer, and when you trade in an iPhone, you can get up to $1100. That doesn’t mean you’ll get $1100 for an iPhone 13 Pro, just that you can get $1100 for probably a 16 Pro, but 13 Pro owners still get something instead of nothing.

The math part of the state-wide high school final exam is always what causes most students to fail.

In the months leading up to the exam, once a week one very talented math teacher took a few hours of his own time to tutor everyone who wanted to attend. He went through previous final exams and explained how to approach them and did the calculations step by step. He did this every year for the multiple decades he worked there.

There is no doubt in my mind that he saved many students from failing those exams, and that brought him a lot of respect both among students but also colleagues.

I’m interested in how they’ve allegedly achieved this working without anyone but you having access to the unencrypted messages.

Don’t get me wrong, I want none of this shit in a messaging app, but I’m at least interested in how that is supposed to work.

I’m a bit torn on this. On one hand: obviously LLMs do this, since they’re essentially just huge pattern recognition and prediction machines, and basically any person probing them with new complex problems has made that exact observation already. On the other hand: a lot of everyday things us humans do are not that dissimilar from recognizing patterns and remembering a solution, and it feels like doing this step well is a reasonable intermediate step towards AGI, and not as hugely far off as this article makes it out to be.

Cats are a bit like very good friends: doing their best to annoy you when they can, but also doing their best to help you when you need it the most.

Everyone: Hey, I’ve seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you’ve seen it? It’s brand new!

I had an electric toothbrush that my cat loved to rub against. Every evening when I got ready for bed, he got up and went to the bathroom with me, only to meow at me loudly until I sit down with him and let him rub his head against the handle of the toothbrush while I was brushing my teeth.

He disliked the toothpaste smell, but the face massage was always worth it haha.

Except that is not the strategy at all. They actually used a formula that has nothing to do with the countries tariffs, only with how much they import/export from/to the USA. Why else would they put a tariff on an uninhabited island? The penguins surely had a 0% tariff policy with the USA, which according to your logic would mean, that they would get a 0% tariff as per trumps policy. Instead, all tariffs are at least 10%, because if you actually applied the formula to all countries, some would end up with negative tariffs! I strongly recommend this video by Stand-up Maths to understand how the numbers are actually calculated.

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people

It’s not only the risk factor, people routinely oppose wind turbines just because they dislike how they look. and huge cooling towers are not exactly subtle.

but the ‘risk factor’ is a total non-issue in regards to making this decision. nuclear power could be 100% safe and it would still simply be far too expensive to be worth it.

It’s really sad to see that evidently more than half of the german population have an opinion on something which they have little to no understanding of. It’s frustrating what misinformation can achieve.

Nuclear power might work for some nations, but there is just no way it makes sense in germany. All previous plants are in dire need of renovation and will be hugely expensive to bring back up and running, and a new one is just as overly optimistic, as major construction projects routinely go far over budget here, and nuclear energy is already not price competitive with renewables. Nobody wants waste storage, let alone a power plant near them, and it would take years until a plant is even producing energy. By that time, it might already be redundant, because renewables and energy storage will be cheaper and more ubiquitous. there is just no way nuclear power makes sense for germany.
