The only thing the article adds to the headline is that it’s not possible on new Intel chips. This article seems significantly better.

Cheese tests should be mandatory for all rockets, I say!

Valencia registers about 50 deaths by car accident per year, 1/3 of the deaths that the floods caused in the city. If you look at Spain as a whole, car deaths per year are much, much higher. Depending on how long it takes roads to unblock and cars to be replaced, this may in total be a win for human lives...

That sounds straight out of a comedy show.

Tbf it’s weird that boxes of gloves just have both pairs stuffed in them. I wouldn’t expect that, but I think I’d at least check.

I really liked the storms in Valheim. Probably not the best looking but they felt so impressive.

This channel has a lot of pretty game ambience, but isn’t limited to storms.

Reading comprehension is for people who paid attention in school. Nerds.

Doesn’t exist, 3 is prime. No combination of 2^-n will get you a 3 in the denominator.

…unless somewhere along the tree there’s a person who shows up twice.

Through a postcolonialist lens this is pretty clever. Use of civilized as a term to excuse the racist and expansionist actions of one’s own country, expansion which happens to have coincided with railways being central to industrial power. Now the colonized are civilized, are we the barbarians?

Unironically thinking like that is the real ape-brained behavior.

This reads different if the woman is an economist.

I feel like the preference space assumption was reasonable? Effectively asking "how important is x_i" for every issue i and then normalizing the result. Works at the limits, too, if something is considered infinitely important.

It does depend on how one asks about the preferences. Given a different question one might get a non-complete or non-transitive preference function. Also I think that if there were dependent preferences (e.g. more roads, but only if work-from-home isn't available) then that wouldn't be continuous? Cause the preference for one would jump with the sign change of the other. Continuity might even be harmful.

Honestly I just hate it because it's a rather unmathematical approach to say "voting is the problem" and not "our definition of fair voting is flawed."

Where is this from?

Or you could read the article and see that’s not even remotely the issue, and the title is as per usual misleading.

Germany planned 8 billion eur financial support for Ukraine this year. That’s been used up. So, no more monetary (!) aid unless they find some spare change in the budget, which they won’t.

And to preempt the next headline: Germany’s spending next year on Ukraine will be halved, yes… Because there’re plans for an international fund.

Also while “Olaf” is the one naying further spending, he’s not doing so independently of the ruling coalition. He has little agency.

Obligatory fuck Lindner and fuck the FDP.
