There’s only so much population. Afaik availability of housing isn’t particularly a limiting factor for population growth, either, so I don’t think this is true. If we all moved into apartments then there would be less land used, no question.

Can you imagine if it did? Such potential for abuse lmao. “Sorry neighbour that I hate, I planted a rare tree on your doorstep, guess you’re stuck with it now!”
Yes that’s what I’m thinking, some modernised physical data storage technique.
Punch cards? Stored correctly there’s no reason they couldn’t last many human lifetimes. But… Yeah it’ll take a while to encode everything.
I would have thought that with modern technology we could come up with something like punch cards but more space/time efficient. Physical storage of data - only one write cycle of course, but extremely durable. Even just the same system as punch cards but using tiny, tiny holes very close together on a roll of paper. Could be punched or read by a machine at high speed (compared to a regular punch card, presumably still Ber slow compared to flash media).
MBAs should be renamed Master’s in Bullshit Administration.
Check the other comment thread from the parent, there’s a discussion which goes into it.
It’s an interesting point. If I need to confirm that I’m right about something I will usually go to the internet, but I’m still at the behest of my reading comprehension skills. These are perfectly good, but the more arcane the topic, and the more obtuse the language used in whatever resource I consult, the more likely I am to make a mistake. The resource I choose also has a dramatic impact - e.g. if it’s the Daily Mail vs the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I might be able to identify bias, but I also might not, especially if it conforms to my own. We expect a lot of LLMs that we cannot reliably do ourselves.
LLMs are just that - Ms, that is to say, models. And trite as it is to say - “all models are wrong, some models are useful”. We certainly shouldn’t expect LLMs to do things that they cannot do (i.e. possess knowledge), but it’s clear that they can do other things surprisingly effectively, particularly providing coding support to developers. Whether they do enough to warrant their energy/other costs remains to be seen.
That’s a pretty extreme reaction, it’s just a shop.
These just look like normal deep sea creatures. Ever see those videos with the marine biologists talking while they explore the deep with an unmanned submarine? They find weird shit like this all the time.
Worst kept secrets, aka, clever marketing.
Please just give us a “maybe”
Enter the saviour of the commuter - trains.
I would advise not doing that in Ireland. Anyway, yes, p*** has a comparable if not so extreme or long history as the n-word in the UK.
One thing to watch out for though, is that if you focus exclusively on mult, eventually the scale tips and chips become more valuable.
You’re always ultimately doing c * m
, chips times mult, right? Increasing c by 1 increases your total by…
(c+1)*m - (c*m) = (c + 1 - c) * m = m
And vice versa for increasing m by 1. So, whichever is higher - your total mult or total chips - you should increase the other one. Usually this means increase mult, but building a bit multiplier can quickly make it outpace your chips for some hands.
The sounds produced by plants aren’t used for communication, at least as far as I’ve understood it. They are, as you say, just sounds produced as part of other processes. They aren’t talking any more than a tree talks when in creaks in the wind.
After a few years in a boring job they’ll be ready to kill again.
A boring office job is an awful fate, we should bring that perception back!

Westerado is decent and pretty unique.
