Exactly: it's really hard to tell if "the environment" took out the other hominids, or if the descendants of the 1280 took them out.

"Hmm, this monkey looking thing isn't as tasty as a wooly mammoth, but it'll do."

(it's not like chimps don't catch and eat other primates)

If you have an iOS device, KQ Dixie is a pretty good DX7 emulation. It’s an audio unit, so you can load it into a host (“DAW”) and add an effects chain, even though it’s on a mobile device

I suspect they will have a different naming convention after they get to M4.

There might be some hesitance installing an M5. You should stay out of the way if the machine learning core needs more power.

I guess by the time they get to M5, anyone old enough to get the reference will have retired.

Maybe there were only 54, and that was one of the bugs to be fixed - exactly the sort of problem that lurks in that kind of repetitive code.

I like iOS, but I won’t buy their flagship hardware. It’s too expensive for something so fragile.

I have 3 iOS devices, but I won’t pay a grand for a phone. I would rather replace my base level devices in 4 or 5 years when they start to age out.

Perhaps someone will start a “Speaker of the House” index fund which the officers from the Federal Reserve can buy, since they won’t be able to buy individual stocks.

More 9s. Closer to 24x7.

I picked up on that angle as well.

“Ignition” isn’t about generating electricity. It’s about making fusion bombs which don’t emit neutrons or other radiation (from a fission trigger) while the device is in storage.

So, not primarily a power generation design like a tokamak would be.

The smoke plume stretches all the way to the Dakotas this morning.

It’s a startling visualization.

Sure.

Orange man rushed out a shot. It must be bad.

Gray man said get the shot. It’s good.

I’m not saying that kind of “thinking” is valid, but it’s apparently widely accepted.

(I got the shot, but I can see why some people would have considerations)

“China Uncensored” on YouTube has covered this sort of behavior towards countries neighboring the China Sea frequently.

China stripping unguarded Atlantic coasts was news to me, though.

We need to ban all assault computers with more than 8 CPUs now. Think of the subsidiaries, er, children!!!

Does this fall under violating the First Amendment, or the Second?

Any numbers on China’s coal plants?

Ah, yes, the IBM PC. I think of it as the Permian extinction (Great Dying) of computer science.

I’m joking, but... most higher level languages were tossed aside for “serious” app development. First to use x86 assembly, then “portable assembly” (C). Much of the “worse is better” methodology can be attributed to giving many people computers, but initially very underpowered computers.

I think you meant to say “tungsten rods”, rather than titanium. the composition of the drop weapons doesn’t change the gist though.

Titanium is used in airframes for its strength to weight ratio (it’s not very dense). Tungsten is used in weapons for its high hardness and density.
