I used to work on a product with version numbers year.release - 2005.9 then 2005.10, though we only had about six releases a year

3·8 days agoI use that style of birthday candle, but I only place as many bits as needed.
The year before adding a bit then has all candles lit, the next has only one lit
Though the new bits don’t come very often. My last was 31 to 32, my next will be 63 to 64, I don’t like my chances to see one after that

In place of a 3 cord red/white/yellow cable? That’s a simple analogue cable, it’ll be fine
Yeah, if the cable impedance is small enough that you can still get the volume you need it doesn’t matter
The comment above is informed by radio electronics - in 1980s Australia had TV on low enough frequency that we used balanced wires (two parallel conductors, like speaker wires) for best interference rejection, with opposite voltage in each conductor and interfering signal will affect both conductor equally and opposite, cancelling the interfering signal (we also needed a “balun” on the antenna to match between the balanced wires and the unbalanced antenna)
Now every antenna you see on roofs and wifi devices connect with coax cables and connectors which are impedance matched to the antennas because impedance really really matters at microwave frequencies, those cables need shielding as they can’t reject interference in the way balanced cables can
Audio goes over balanced cables, as long as they’re close together they should receive equal and opposite interference, so interference is cancelled out

Resistance depends on material and length, steel is fine for that short distance
Incidentally Earth can carry a lot of current since though it has high resistivity, the conductor is about 18,000km across
Same person, I don’t know how people here don’t get that a quantum physicist might not keep up with news about people, don’t we all know people on the spectrum? He gets invitations to Epstein’s parties because Epstein liked hanging out with physicists, people are suspicious because he continued attending those parties after news was out about how bad Epstein was.
I’d be surprised if I had heard that a mathematician read the news, and if they did that they read about people in the news
You’re arguing against pre-ai video with words.
A quick search shows quite a bit of thermal video of hairdryer blast
Perhaps the video you saw had the air temperature squashed by it’s view of the heater coil
A cured man doesn’t continually say how much happier he was before he was cured
I think he was curbed
Corn is the same word in English, it’s falling out of use though because of American sweetcorn which is named “corn” because it has so many corns and they are so large
A flock of cockatoos make a cacophony. They’re terrible

They were friendly to the other wolves in their pack. Now we’ve turned that so dogs see us as their pack
To your edit: A compiler will make the exact same output from the same input. An LLM will make different outputs from the same prompt and may give you someone else’s code verbatim
You are saying they don’t know how to make code.
I believe you’re claiming that compiler authors own the software their compiler compiles which is clearly not true.
No way does op own the algorithmically created program based on user input
But don’t do both. I use qwerty key caps and touch type in Dvorak; when I need to remote into another machine, I likely need to use qwerty until I’m logged in, that would be difficult with blank keycaps
