Corals are warm water animals, so it's pretty obvious that they'll grow out more when the water gets warmer.

Most parts of the planet have never been survivable to humans. That's why we have invented fire, clothes, houses, air conditioning, water pipes, etc. And that continues to be the case whatever happens to the planet.

How about context length? Isn't it still just a few thousand tokens on local models?

Rocket version also has an additional 400 liter COPV which takes up the passenger seat. Thrust version has a 200 liter COPV behind the seats.

No, they're cold gas thrusters. The car has an air compressor, a composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV) and 10 nozzles.

The answer is Black Spruce with 11 billion tons of biomass.

The infographics is worth looking at. All animals are just 0.4% of total biomass, and most of that is arthropods, fish, annelids, molluscs and cnidarians. Humans, live stock, birds and wild mammals combined are just about 0.02% of the total biomass.

What kind of dataset is used to train DLSS 5? Do they need to generate synthetic image pairs first?

We've now learned that this isn't true for all migrant groups, and it has been an extremely costly mistake to make. Demographic replacement can't work positively if the productivity of migrants is below of the original demographic, and actually makes the situation worse. Europe might have learned this too late, but at least now EU and most European countries are changing course.

You're wrong. The best-selling vehicle is the Flying Pigeon bicycle, the standard bicycle from Mao-era China with more than 500 million produced since 1950.

It's a stroke font / SHX font produced by the CAD software, but difficult to know which one. They aren't actual fonts, but just single-stroke vector shapes. Claude thinks it's from PTC Creo Parametric, but I couldn't find any clear examples to confirm or deny.

It's a next-token computer. It computes the probabilities for the next token.

I feel like claude.md is like Asimov's laws of robotics. Whatever you write there ends up eventually messing up everything.

I have had occasional tinnitus, and once it lasted for a few months and then went away. Sometimes it appears suddenly, and I've taken vitamin B12 and magnesium and it goes away in a few hours. Vitamin D might also help according to some studies, but in my case I think it might make it worse. Not sure if placebo or not.

Yeah, these types of actuators are pretty interesting, but I've not seen anything super promising yet.
