The problem isn’t that the energy is too cheap, it’s that there’s too much of it, which is why it’s so cheap. An electrical grid can only support so much power and there is no cost effective way to store enough energy to run the grid for any appreciable amount of time, so it all must be used or else the system becomes unstable.
Because they would have brownouts overnight and when the weather was bad.
Don’t give them any ideas
Idk, there was an expansion released like a month back so it’s probably experiencing a spike in popularity.
Also if you don’t know I’m alluding to the fake season names it uses which are portmanteaus of real month names. Decebuary, Aprimay etc
I always thought the Chinese Room argument was kinda silly. It’s predicated on the idea that humans have some unique capacity to understand the world that can’t be replicated by a syntactic system, but there is no attempt made to actually define this capacity.
The whole argument depends on our intuition that we think and know things in a way inanimate objects don’t. In other words, it’s a tautology to draw the conclusion that computers can’t think from the premise that computers can’t think.
Dude what? Bears don’t give a shit about you. Unless you charge the bear it’s going to be fine.

What’s the thermal impact of a ram module? Don’t they use like 2 or 3 watts even in a desktop? Can’t be much…
Because ram is incredibly cheap and developer hours are incredibly expensive. I think it’s a bit silly too but there’s just no financial incentive for companies to care about memory usage when they know most consumer devices have tons of extra headroom.

Sounds like a good way to get the feds interested in your otherwise not very notable property crime.
No, motion sickness.
I read the second half of this in Heath Ledger’s joker voice
We’ll that’s when I’m on social media…
But clearly, if we add up all the infinite fractions between 0 and 1, they would add up to 1.
Um no? 3/4 + 5/6 > 1
If you mean the series 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + … that also tends to infinity
Wait until you find out where Indiana University is

There is an interesting catch to this argument, which is that in a human body we can eliminate pain by using general anesthesia or nerve blockers. Locally the body still reacts to damage but the actual person doesn’t experience any pain because it isn’t communicated to their consciousness. If we accept that being unconscious precludes experiencing pain then it follows that consciousness is a pre-requisite for pain.
On the other hand if it’s still unethical to inflict damage on a living thing without consciousness then is it unethical to operate on a sedated person even though they don’t consciously experience pain?
