  • You're blocking 300-500 W of solar radiation on a heat exchanger that runs 20-100% of the day. So yeah you're definitely going to get some improvements. Most notably it will run less often because it isn't dealing with the excess heat.

    AC units SHOULD be designed for 100% duty cycle. But we all know that nothing is really capable of that - even industrial stuff. So if your shade reduces the duty cycle by a few percent, you might increase the longevity of the unit by an order of magnitude.

  • probably just a brain fart - they've both heat exchangers.

  • The immediate parent comment did

  • Epstein's client list was for blackmail - not prosecution by due process of law. All he had to do was threaten Mr Moneybags about that time he went to town with a girl and now Epstein suddenly has tens more millions of dollars.

  • Yeah that's if you were to try to bruteforce the entire keyspace one key at a time. Nah. You'd look for sidechannel attacks which could reduce the keyspace by many orders of magnitude before starting.

  • I wonder if they could be made better by doing that parboil-freeze-deepfry trick that makes mcdonalds fries so good

  • doctors hate this one trick...?

  • Oh, fuck yeah. Perfect timing. I bought the beelink (from beelink without paying the amazon tax because fuck bezos).

    edit: what the fuck this thing comes with windows 11 preinstalled? I was planning to put trunas or something on there but I'm not happy about giving microsoft money.

  • I guess the mummy's curse will be the patent trolls that keep greening the delivery mechanism to prevent generics from entering the pharmaceutical market.

  • I personally know people in red states who will suffer. They're in economically depressed areas and they are suffering life long injuries from performing skilled labor in a state that has no worker protections as a political choice.

    All three of those problems are caused by republican policies to their own people.

  • I swear the GOP in charge must have all been promised a cool $B each to follow along with this. They know what is at stake here - the entire US hegemony is rapidly collapsing around us and our institutions built over hundreds of years are crumbling. But they'll personally get money and be a fieflord so that's fine I guess.

  • ... and putting the cat in the dryer?! You're awful!

  • People love to whinge. Some of it is warranted but the internet has made it too easy to find readers so there's way more whinging than needed.

  • That makes it more energy efficient nut not necessarily faster. The on-die ram made enormous improvements in cache misses which had a huge impact on speed. Basically every application got a nitro booster.

  • Video games with apparently sentient NPCs.

    I reeealllly want this. Throw an LLM behind the NPCs ffs. Give each of them a list of goals and let us interact with them in a more free formed manner.

  • No - the last two decades have shown that just because you can't invent new stuff to solve, you can throw hardware at solving existing problems less efficiently. We'll continue to get more and more horsepower just so we can run js.node garbage instead of letting software devs actually make things well.

  • Yeah it's what made the M1 macs so blisteringly fast compared to everything else at the time

  • Yeah I fully expect a government mandated id system for all online platforms. First it'll be argued it is necessary to allow the platforms to remain free of liability for hosting whatever their posters submit - then it'll be mandatory to even access those platforms for viewing - then it'll be pushed onto the ISP level.

  • Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

  • ... what?
