Drive slowly on snow. 90% of driving works just fine so long as you go slow. And that doesn’t mean 35 in a 40 zone. That means 10 in a 40 zone.

Drive super fucking slow on snow, and you’ll be fine.

People who come from warmer climates to snow always fuck this up, and it’s so simple. I think there’s a pride thing involved. So just get over your “I can do this” pride, and drive ultra slow.

At least at first. You can speed up a little once you get a sense of what makes the car slide, but to start with just go ultra ultra slow.

No they’re equal if the battery is designed to provide 1 hr of coverage.

A 1 GWh batter will last 1 hour if its discharge rate is 1 GW.

It’s the timeframe of 1 hour that makes these two measures numerically equal.

Batteries’ output is measured in watts.

I mean, I want to be sympathetic

To be honest you don’t come across this way. It’s very easy to sympathize with OP’s position, for a person who wants to.

The reason not to do it isn’t about being careful. It’s about pushing wax deeper into your ear canal where it impacts the eardrum.

So the energy comes from sunlight and ambient heat, which provides the energy to evaporate that water, overcoming its adhesion and cohesion.

Did Trump “target” entities for cancellation during his first presidency?

 

O’Neill cylinder is that big rotating cylinder space station format that uses the spin for artificial gravity.

At higher elevations the gravity will be lower. BMX bikes will be fun too. Make a big jump and you can go across the center and land on the other side, or go into a zero-gee part in the middle, which works out if you’re always inside a curve.

 

I’ve noticed ChatGPT gets less able to do precise reasoning or respond to instructions, the longer the conversation gets.

It felt exactly like working with a student who was getting tired and needed to rest.

Then I had above shower thought. Pretty cool right?

Every few months a new ChatGPT v4 is deployed. It’s got new training data, up through X date. They train up a new model on the new content in the world, including ChatGPT conversations from users who’ve opted into that (or didn’t opt out, can’t remember how it’s presented).

It’s like GPT is “sleeping”, to consolidate “the day’s” knowledge into long term memory. All the data in the current conversation is its short term memory. After handling a certain amount of complexity in one conversation, the coherence of responses breaks down, becomes more habitual and less responsive to nuance. It gets tired and can’t go much further.

 

I asked GPT-4 for a list of the most important threats to human civilization, their likelihood, and why they were considered threats.

GPT's output is also pasted into the comments.
