top causes, not factors

if your R&D costs make your business unprofitable, something’s going to come along and topple it, same as how “smoking” isn’t a cause of death but lung cancer is a very major cause of death

I’d wager the same one who put all their energy into the the big bang then has just had the worst hangover ever since

nah its not whoever’s putting the bags in, it’s either management deciding it’s too inefficient to deal with two streams, or the people using the bins weren’t capable of separating so just threw it wherever and so it all ended up mixed anyway

if you’re British, maps.nls.uk is fascinating for seeing places evolve over time

I mean immediately sure but in reality he was just an early al-qaeda prototype trying to spread his religion by blowing people up

Which French dishes?

The best I can think of are actually Italian, Swiss or English dishes co-opted by the French and the rest are extremely average, but French food culture is very good which a lot of people seem to confuse with the actual dishes being good

Valid point on Cajun and Jamaican though

In Portuguese (as spoken in Portugal, Brazil, USA, Japan, Ghana, wherever) they’re an americano/a but in English (as spoken in USA, UK, Brazil, Portugal, Nepal, wherever) they’re South American but not American because it’s a linguistic difference rather than a geographical/cultural one

Because they’re the only country with America in their name whereas United States is shared by Mexico

Also in English there’s a distinction between North and South America, with the supercontinent being referred to as “The Americas”, so America isn’t really ambiguous, they’re also geologically and environmentally distinct enough that “The Americas” isn’t used so much and “New World” is often more relevant to include Australia as another somewhat culturally similar sparsely populated former colonial area.

Also you can actually see the stars and can hold a regular sleep schedule unlike in summer where it never actually gets beyond twilight

Is guys really needed after youse?

The guys is needed where there’s no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that

I think intel support it (or at least a translation layer) but there’s no motivation for Nvidia to standardise to something open-source as the status quo works pretty well

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can’t compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

And here I was thinking Arc and storage were the only semi-competitive wings of intel… They just needed a couple of years for adoption to increase

High school depends, if you’re bullied or don’t work well in that setting or feel under too much social pressure to do what’s cool then it’s _borderline torture, otherwise sure it’s great

If it’s a grave of someone in living memory, then sure, it’s grave robbing, but even if someone knows it’s their 224x great grandparent then if there’s no memory either directly or even via oral history then it’s definitely archaeology

There’s a very blury line somewhere between the two, but it’s up to whoever shouts loudest or digs quietest to define that

can’t ban pages anymore with https, and while they don’t want to be lumped in with the authoritarian states that ban all on Wikipedia, they are like them at heart

The point of sanctions is to make it harder to run a country, part of that is making the citizens angry with the government

They don’t target Russians outside of Russia, and do target non-Russians in Russia, because they’re meant to actually be somewhat effective rather than just inciting hate

spooky month 👻
