The thing is that even if there isn’t much energy in plastic to be extracted, theres still enough energy in it to make a viable food source. Now, consider the humble panda and its primary food source, fucking eucalyptus leaves. Theyre so hard to chew that koalas had to spend evolutionary time and energy just to spec into it to the point they cant eat anything else pretty much. Combine that with the fact that eucalyptis leaves are so devoid of nutrients that the koala has to spend all day every day just snacking on them to not die of malnutrition.
Why? Why would a species even bother with this flim-flam if eucalypti sucks that bad as a food source? The answer is: Food scarcity. Because eucalytis grows everywhere where koalas live and because nobody else is bothering to tap into the food source, this sets up a ecological niche by pretty much gaurenteeing any animal that sucessfully finds a way to make it work will have unlimited amounts of food/energy just from the fact theres so damn much of it and nothing else wants to/can touch it. Sure koalas might have paid the price by sacrificing some brain wrinkles but who needs higher intelligence when you have leaves to snack on and sex to make babies.
A similar thing happened with trees and mushrooms. In the deep evolutionary history of our planet trees were once the apex forms of life with forest covering pretty much the whole planet. This is because nothing knew how to break down the wood making up stems for a good couple million years. Most of the coal and oil that we dig up today is actually the preserved remains of these unbroken down trees from the carboniferous period that just layed there petrified never rotting until the carbon compressed into hard rock or squeezed into liquid. The great change in the era happened when our humble mycelium bois finally figured out how to eat wood, causing them to essentially become the new apex life for a time.

I believe you may be mistaken on the claim he didnt make them. Theres a good few videos floating around of him blowing the glass on numberphile. The Wikipedia just says he keeps the stock in his house.

All these big companies think they’re hot shit and have been gaslit applicants into thinking this is an appropriate process that everyone should go through if they want to make ‘the big bucks’. No you idiots, the job market is in the hands of the worker selling their labor. The interviewee is the one interviewing the companies, the interviewee should be the one to make them jump through 15 hoops only to be rejected, or your skills aren’t all that unique in terms of bargaining. If I have to spend more than five minutes applying through your dogshit website or if you even think about wasting my time with long interview stages+handwritten testing like im back in school then you can suck on my nuts and find someone dumb enough to bite because of the bait of a big paycheck.

Assuming its empty, i would take the grog oggah boogah solution of smash the blue plastic bowl down the edge of your countertop. Something will give sometime.
Otherwise, did you try twisting the bowl super hard? Torque is typically a more effective force than pulling for friction.

System Operator. The In non-nerd speak, it was the guy who owned and ran the local public fourms site on his computer that you connected to with your computer. Lemmys instance admins are usually sysops for example as they have root/hw access to the computer that the Lemmy instance software runs on. This person is talking about an admin of a local fourm site early internet users used before centralized social media like MySpace and Facebook made Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) irrelevant.

Op you should have poked some eyes into the ram as a facial feature so people would maybe piece it together. It does look phalic, then again most things do when you squint. When your a hammer everything looks like a nail. When your a horny monkey everything looks like something you might want to fuck or be fucked by.

Hi Hawke, I understand your fustration with needing to troubleshoot things. Steam allows you to import any exe as a ‘non-steam game’ to your library and run it with the proton compatability layer. I sometimes have success getting a GOG game installed by running the install exe through proton or wine. Theres also some linux distros that come with proton installed. Hope it all works out for you
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 2 months ago:
assuming you use steam, see which of your favorite games run with proton compatability layer and which absolutely require windows. You may be suprised.

In the fictional trolly Im definitely undergrad think its way funnier that way especially if the solution actually works out.
In reality im neither an undergrad nor a post doc nor anything in between. I’m just some schmuck with a STEM degree. One who passionately enjoys understanding the behaviors of the universe and has extensively studied various topics including quantum mechanics and theoretical particle physics in my free time for many years.

Ez. I put myself into a box with a lever and a bomb. The bomb is activated by an OR gate with one input being 50% chance activated if the lever is pulled, and the other input is attached to an uncollaped wave function with a 50% chance of being measured or not.
This allows me to enter an undefined state beyond life and death, beyond position and momentum, to become the transitionary flow between something and nothing.
I then put myself and the box inside the quantum trolley, on the tracks, and on the side as an observer, at the same time (but only if nobody is watching). All my separate possibility phantoms may or may not pull the lever at the exact moment the trolley hits a quantum eraser.
If performed correctly, reality suffers an overflow error and the collective consciousness of the universe experiences what us humans would refer to as a aneurism.
As a part of automatic regenerative attempts to repair such devastating damage to the concept of causality, a series of tachyons are released at the epicenter of the incident causing a level-4∆ retroactive recalibration event. Boom, The quantum trolley never existed in the first place.

In a round about way isnt it accurate though? Biological potential energy that gets created/saved/processed in the mitochondria is eventually turned to power the moment the cell uses that potential energy for work.

thanks for the reply blaze. It seems changing display name did more than I thought. However on my voyager app and on the URL to my Lemmy page it still shows Smokeydope

I can’t really blame the man for trying to diversify and make a little side business with the notebook/calendar stuff. I imagine the nerdy young adults in college who watch his videos make up a decent amount of his viewer base. He took a bet that demographic would be into overpriced fancy productivity notebooks, so its a know your audience type thing maybe. I still think his videos are a fun and informative watch.

I love chunky pixels and great gameplay. I love games that you can get hundreds of hours of fun out of, only take up 1gb of storage, and can run smooth on a dinosaur PC. No DRM, supporting a small team who respect you as a supporter and passionately make a piece of interactive art you get to enjoy the rest of your life.
The graphics snobs have the worst brain dead takes man. Not being able to enjoy a game just because it ask you to use creativity and imagination to interpret the art that acompanies the interactive experience. But I guess to each their own. I hope they enjoy the 170gb weekly updates for the newest unoptimized reheated game franchise. I hear the newest version of the Ark dinosaur game is doing just great, I’m sure the next assassins creed and cod and whatever Bethesda is making in between skyrim releases will give you a novel and memorable experience.

Why does there gotta be so many psudo-scientific internet ‘laws’ of common human behavioral archetypes with a half baked Wikipedia entry? Can I have SmokeyDopes Law where if more than two humans ever exhibit the same behavior or particular complex that eventually there will be some armchair academic undergrad who will attempt to needlessly define it just to get to say “complex-fancy-sirname’s law”

Look being real they would get away with it no matter which decrepit old man was in office or what their politics are. America is a corporatocracy wearing the skin of democracy. When the IRS audited Microsoft for tax evasion, the IRS got sued and defunded to the point of being forced to back off. The world has changed and our old institutions of power are waning.

I had luck with using vulcan in kobold.cpp as a substitute for rocm with my amd card.

Your primary gaming desktop gpu will be best bt for running llms first check your card for exact information more vram the better. Nvidia is preferred but AMD cards work.
First you can play with llamafiles to just get started no fuss no muss download them and follow the quickstart to run as app.
Once you get it running and want better performance or latest models then you can spend some time installing and running kobold.cpp with cublas or vulcan and GPU offloading.
