I know people asked for it, but I find these types of evolutionary explanations to be very unconvincing. The primary reason is they are largely unfalsifiable narratives. The secondary reason is they are sometimes used to justify positions and viewpoints that would otherwise be unjustifiable.

I think your EV example is a better example than your coal one.

I’ve never seen anyone measure coal power by the amount of chemical energy stored inside, unless they are specifically referring to using it as a heating source. For electricity generated by coal it’s always measured as output.

America does a better job at assimilating immigrants than most of the rest of the world. It’s just a very hard problem, and the US does more of it than anyone.

It sounds like either your “tasks” are too large or you have some drag somewhere like test cases being too slow to execute.

I’d look into where the model is spending its time and see if you can save some time. Eight hours is more then enough time to have an entire new microservice up and running and to adjust existing microservices to utilize it.

Is a Microsoft account required to use Windows on these RTX spark laptops?

Am I being too stubborn for not wanting a cloud account tied to my desktop operating system?

Politicians say a lot of things near Election Day. It’s obviously a bit for some last minute funding or to target a segment of voters he identified.

These are leave the game entirely moments for me. The second someone wants me to pay for a box that has random items in it I’m out.

This is actually true of a large market segment.

It’s not obvious to me why this feature shouldn’t be the default.

I routinely run dozens or hundreds of daemons. Why wouldn’t I want one to keep my network connections to llms open?

The primary argument of this article can be simplified and rephrased as “Only stupid people call other people stupid” which really points the finger back at them.

If your career is spent using adobe products you probably want to start with adobe-like as a baseline and make changes on top of it.

This is classic FUD, Fear Uncertainty and Doubt.

It’s designed to make the reader question which articles they have read recently that are Iranian propaganda, and sow doubt about future articles that seem to benefit Iran.

This amount of FUD always seems to increase around election time…

What exactly is a fake email account?

If you operate in a tight niche it might be economically worth botting ads to lower your competitors ctr.

There is an asymmetry where paying to create an impression is much more expensive than paying to consume an impression.

Drones are just one part of the equation. They are a “last mile” solution, which makes them very strong on battle fronts and come with a defender advantage.

We still require logistics to transport the drones into effective range, intelligence to know the most effective targets, and military grade wireless communications to guide the drones.

If the intelligence is good enough long range missiles can kinetically disable drone production or drone stockpiles.
