Hence, good for everything except humans. And the global population is still rising, though as you said developed countries are responsible for very little of that growth.

I mean… Castrating 75% of the population would certainly put a damper on our rapid population growth, which would be good for everything except humans.

“Covalent” and “communism” start with the same two letters.

My best guess is they somehow mixed up minutes and seconds? Usually people mix up bits and bytes the other way and overestimate speeds.

I copy photos and videos off my phone all the time; it’s far more convenient than trying to send it over the internet. But even the “slow” speed of 480Mbps that they’re complaining about seems more than adequate; copying a few gigs of photos will only take a minute or two, and even copying my phone’s entire 128GB of storage would only take 35 minutes. Compared to most USB storage devices that’s blazingly fast.

Only Pro models support reasonable speeds for USB-C, up to 10Gbps. Regular iPhones are capped at USB 2.0 rates, up to 480Mbps, which is no faster than Lightning. With an iPhone 16 Pro, a 1GB file transfer can take 8 seconds – with a vanilla iPhone 16, you’re going to be waiting over 16 minutes.

…What? At 10Gbps a 1GB transfer takes under a second, while at 480Mbps it would take about 17 sec. Was this article written by AI or did the author just not care to actually do the math?

The lions are being bi now? They must have learned it from the tourists!!!

I’ve clocked 600 hours in Kerbal Space Program, and probably high thousands to over ten thousand in Minecraft.

Couldn’t solar farms just strategically disconnect some of their panels from the grid to avoid that? Solar panels are always collecting energy, but if you disconnect them that energy just goes into making them a bit warmer rather than overloading the grid.

Just install a bunch of spotlights that point back at the Sun so when power prices go negative you can return all that excess energy! Come on MIT, I thought you were supposed to be smart.

Go get your PhD and write one yourself!

Don’t worry, you can never be put in a room with an infinite number, only an arbitrarily large one. That’s the idea of the hotel; it has an infinite number of rooms, but every room has a finite number, since you can count forever without reaching infinity.

It’s so large that the number of digits it has is too large to represent, and the number of digits in that number is too large to represent, and so on for a number of times that is also far too large to represent.

Thank you for your feedback on a post by LostXOR@fedia.io! It has been recorded and will be shared with the developer.

It’s just saving some for later! Or to give to its friends. Idk it’s been a while since I took chem.

Thanks.

Your comment was definitely part of the inspiration. :)

Dammit, didn’t even think of that one.
