Do you live in the montains or metropolitan? How is the transport like over there?

I see you don’t run electron app in flatpaks :)

From what other have pointed out, the blip is much more primitive than hail mary, and Eridian is not really a space-dwelling spices. I guess this is hinted at in the movie: the way they communicate via throwing bottles, they don’t understand Grace phoning home, and they don’t know about space radiation.

But I feel these are not properly conveyed in the movie: rocky can instantly build tunnel and adjust to environment to make it livable for human (without encountering Grace or visited his ship), and later Grace went on rocky’s ship, seems to all suggest Eridian has much more advanced technology than human.

Just a sentence in Graces log probably can set a better tune that human has more advanced tech, but Eridian are better at manufacturing.

Yeah, I feel it is the only reason, but it feels very werid that an alien in a much more advanced ship seeking to save their entire planet don’t have ability to a approach planet at their destination.

Or rocky is a way worse pilot than Grace.

But the collection process doesn’t need a science person and is extremely dangerous. One ship has a fabrication person (basically can build and repair structures instantly) with robot arm and prob. It doesn’t seem like a science person’s job to “space walk” (atmosphere walk, really) on a completely unknown planet’s atmosphere.

After the collection, they can bring the sample in the lab to test and breed, which is exactly what they did.

I come back from the movie. I loved it, my wife less so. I guess I hyped it up too much, and she is expecting a masterpiece, not entertainments.

We both agree the scene, narrative, and music are great, I like the story and charactor arc, but she feels the plot holes are too distracting in the story to enjoy it.

But we both agree there are too many plot holes,

I guess the biggest plot hole is

!!! SPOILERS !!!

Unlike fern and tldrnews, I don’t think they declared no AI, but I feel most of there animation seems to involve a lot of human labors, at least on top of AI.

They have also never declared the use of AI either, so I guess I don’t know for sure.

I teach computer science at a uni. I would much much perfer student to ask me the question instead of LLM. I will give them a much better answer because the LLM probably learned from my published stuff, which is already super surface level, and then they will distill again.

I understand this is not feasible for larger classes, especially introduction classes. But please, if you ever move on to upper level classes and professor welcomes questions, talk to the professor, not the LLM.

I got a lot of flipboard content on mastodon, but I don’t know if that “grows” flipboard.

I find the social media (piefed and mastodon) I use are busy enough to keep me entertained, not too busy to make me addictated.

BTW, it loads fine now :)

I am able to access it pretty consistently on interstellar and the web, but it is so slow it is not really a decent experience.

For me, connecting from the U.S., takes around 5 – 15mins, but I can barely vote on anything.

I remember there is a post stating that LemmyNSFW is eating up the VPS resource, and the provider throttled the VPS, which also include FediNSFW. My guess is that after LemmyNSFW is down, people are eagar to backup that instance, which created an absurd amount of traffic.

What about when you hang out outside on a weekend, then that is easily two meals outside.

Do you not hang out outside that long or do you go home for lunch and go back out?

For additional reference, boiling a liter of water takes just shy of 100Wh (not counting heat absorbed by kettles or heat distributed into the air): https://www.quora.com/How-many-watts-do-I-need-to-heat-1-liter-of-water

As far as I know it is still much more expensive compare to alternatives like grammar checker and web search. Especially give that model already searches the web on its own in many queries.

Just because inference is more efficient than an training, which consumes energy on the scale of nation states, doesn’t mean inference itself is econonical.

I used ddg and startpage, they are both great. Although I slightly perfer ddg, but stays with startpage because it is european.

I also turn on ads to support them. However, now I have more money but less time to scroll pass all these ads, I switched to kagi, which is ad-free and fast. The price is not cheap and they are not based in Europe (they are registered in the U.S. with employees all over the world, which is technically better than U.S. centric ddg), however there is no alternatives that I am aware of.

I never talked to my parent about this, but I imagine way better. My dad is one of the earlier master degree holder in China. He got his PhD much later; I believe around his 40s.

At my age, my dad is an entry level doctor and my mom an entry level nurse. They live in a room of 10 square meter assigned by the hospital they work in.

I am at the end of my 20s and is an assistant professor; a very busy job, but nevertheless stable, which is an excellent perk in this economy. The pay is not bad (not as much as industry though) and the work is really fulfilling. The only unfortunate part is that I almost always need to work overtime. It is not uncommon for me to work from waking up to going to bed, if not working into midnight.
