I've been doing some investigation, and I found that there's an underground network of pipes covering my whole neighbourhood. everything's connected, and it goes all the way to the top.

I understand the concept of political lobbying, but not the specifics of how it actually works. Is there like, a step-by-step guide to lobbying?

this one's easy

you'd need a way to calibrate it for the viewer too, since I'm sure our eyes all have a different amount of persistence

You could also remove the gaps by implementing motion blur

I will probably break the db schema massively and then use the import feature for migration lol

that would be the goal

The "Steps to Validate" in the readme are just "look at the logs", if this is legit then I'd expect a demonstration of some concrete impact

Like a sort of creaking/ticking, occasionally? Mine do this too, I thought it could be loose housing or something but I haven't been able to track it down.

Mine broke in the same place! I had them taped together for years and the tape kept falling off, and eventually I superglued it and it held.

The bandwidth was definitely a leap but I don't know any hard numbers for latency, now I'm curious

David Buchanan (@retr0.id) reply parent
random-computed-gotos could be similar although I imagine it's still bounded by memory latency, so the pipeline stalls don't count for much.
David Buchanan (@retr0.id)
which computational benchmark has improved the *least* in the last few decades? the best (worst?) I can come up with is probably pointer-chasing though a random larger-than-cache array, which is basically a measure of memory latency rather than anything else.

I don't use them conversationally, I tend to go back and edit my initial input if I need to guide the response in some way - which doesn't entirely avoid it but I think it helps, and gets more useful output in general.

> enough to help power a desalination plant Wait this doesn't make sense. Osmotic power generation involves mixing salt water and fresh water. How can you possibly end up performing a positive amount of desalination overall?
