I’m familiar with the BBC, but I don’t know about their Russian service. Is it the same coverage, or an independent branch? I’ve seen articles by the investigator I think, but same thing, is this their Russian branch? I’ve never heard of the first one.

So which ones are those two? I’m not familiar with them.

That’s really trippy! Great work

Meaning one’s that didn’t agree with Russia’s official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

Poor thing starved to death

I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven’t found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.

Okay, that’s resistive heating. So it’ll be the same efficiency as a oil heater or any space heater. So heating less space with it will save money.

Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it’s the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it’s hard to know.

Same, thought they were talking about preping a dnd encounter.

Yeah, space Force bought the launches? With star shield, the DOD bought space on starlink sats.

US buys launches at the same rate as everyone else. NASA chipped in a few million to get falcon 9 off the ground, but they haven’t been subsidizing for years.

Looks more like the mitchells vs the machines to me.

But a very small portion of human activity is developing chips or launching rockets. Most of it is manufacturing disposable junk or building roads/buildings.

Good vid from real engineering on the subject

SpaceX launches in 2023 were about 0.02 megatons of CO2 directly. I don’t know how fugitive emissions from fueling and defueling, especially on starship with methane.

200,000kg/launch, 100 launches.

96 as of September 29 https://spaceexplored.com/spacex-launches-2024/

And they’re on track for ~130 this year.

Like charges repel. Putting raw electrons in a container would make a really good bomb.

Plus, the electrons would make new elements as they run into other atoms. You’d need electromagnetic containment to keep it from coming into contact with anything. Come to think about it, that’s pretty much what a particle accelerator is.

It’s a bit long, maybe do one article per day?

if you must use prepackaged, !revancedapks@lemmy.ml I’ve found works.
