I'm cooking up some fine spaghetti over here on Gleba.

Everyone's an Italian chef the first time they go to Gleba.

Maybe he means per day.

It's even worse when you take a bunch of the small percentage of energy the heat engine successfully turns into motion and then use it to heat up the brake discs.

Being able to recapture kinetic energy into a battery and reuse it later helps overall efficiency a lot.

Okay, but that's still partially on Nvidia for refusing to participate. They could have argued for explicit sync early in Wayland's development but they weren't at the table at all, so they got stuck with the technology that was decided on without them and had to argue for changes much later.

And they started off arguing for EGLStreams, but it didn't work well either. Explicit sync came later.

Wayland has a bunch of features that are so new they aren't in the stable distros yet.

Nvidia went from declaring they were never going to support Wayland to trying to force their own EGLStreams stuff on everybody to reluctantly accepting the standard that was developed without them and trying to make it work for their driver. They're playing catchup and it's entirely their own fault for refusing to cooperate with anybody.

They're moving more towards open source drivers now, probably because the people buying billions of dollars worth of GPUs to use on Linux servers for AI training have had words with Nvidia on the subject.

Yeah, that's not happening. They're desperate to push revenue per user up, so they keep hiking low speed prices to push people towards 100+ megabit plans.

The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration's industrial furnace and casting machines.

don’t use masks, wait use masks

IIRC this one was about ensuring the supply of masks for medical staff early on before production ramped up.

That's not the sort of power from above churches are supposed to believe in.

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
