  • They came in as bumbling idiots and still managed to wreck a few things, thankfully we still had some institutions left to push back on him the first time.

    They have a detailed takeover plan and a sympathetic supreme court now. Things are a little bit different.

  • Does nobody care about the facts anymore?

    We created giant server farms to come up with hallucinations and lies on demand, using the equivalent power draw of entire countries.

  • That's basically how IGBTs in power electronics work, in stuff like trains and electric cars. It's a sensitive, easily activated voltage-driven MOSFET driving a larger BJT transistor in a chain.

    Also how Darlington pairs work. So, yeah, maybe they could do all the computation at that level and then cascade the output through larger transistors to talk to the outside world.

  • The article mentions this, and says these new transistors actually take advantage of quantum tunnelling at those small scales to switch the transistors on and off. Usually that's accomplished by charging up a conductive channel in a traditional MOSFET like a capacitor.

    The disadvantage seems to be that these transistors can only control very tiny currents. They currently lack enough ass to control much else.

  • Doesn't their own book actually warn against someone like this? But I guess it's not like they ever read the whole thing...

  • Gingrich, who has cheated on 66% of his wives, rails against Harris ad telling woman to ‘lie’ to husband

    Jump

  • No. That's fucked up, of course. But I wouldn't usually represent that number with a percent. I would just say, "2 out of his 3 wives" or something like that. That's all.

    I know this is a tense political season, but there's no reason to jump down my throat. I'm with y'all.

  • That's two wives. Lol, what a weird way to represent that ratio. Just saying.

  • A lifetime of conservatives calling me the F-word when they find out, yeah, that'll definitely do it.

  • My dude....video games have existed for half a century now... he was probably playing plenty of Atari in his youth. OMG do you actually think kids and teens are the only ones playing them in 2024? Have you been living under a rock since the 90s?

  • Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year

  • I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i'm done with windows.

    That's one strategy. Mine is to just say "fuck it" until the devs and studios make their games more playable on Linux. I can deal with not playing some games to make that happen. That's not for everyone though.

    Switching to a better non-mainstream alternative to anything always brings some compatibility pains until enough are doing it to where the tide shifts. I accept this.

  • The dead end of chips: Manufacturing semiconductors consumes as much energy as entire countries

  • Okay. What are we supposed to do, not use chips? They're kind of a main character of the 21st century.

    This would be a great application of those nuke plants fuckin' Google and Amazon want to build.

  • Doesn't this all depend on the height of your car and the condition of your shocks? Doesn't seem like a hard and fast rule. Also, you're assuming rear wheel drive. FWD does not "raise the hood" like you're playing Cruising USA.
