Realistically, whatever plate is following behind the sinking plate would just become the new subduction zone with whichever plate was initially going over. Also there would be a lot of mountainous terrain formations and seismic activity as islands/continents would literally have been shoved together during this process

This has happened before if you'd like to read more specifics

The bi in binary means 2, so we use two digits which happen to be 0 and 1. (base 2)

A trinary system would be base 3 and yes would be the digits 0-2.

Commonly we use base 10 which is the digits 0-9

If you mean why we use binary and not trinary in computers, it's because a binary bit is easy to represent physically. Either it's on or off, something is there or it isn't, and it's very easy to detect/read by hardware

While both your statements check out, I do wonder why the drive from Chicago to New York is 6 hours shorter according to google

As someone who was born on the edge of the millennial/GenZ

I noticed in highschool, my year was very similar to the ones above mine, as well as the one directly following, but the ones after that just seemed so culturally different

>GenZ 1997 – 2012

I refuse to be grouped into GenZ

This altitude is significantly lower than even the height commercial airliners fly at.. less than ⅕ that height actually.

It means the abnormally warm winter we've been having will feel like a normal winter for 2 days and then go back to being abnormally warm again. Really don't think it'll disrupt much

I remember it was only a few years ago, average temperature we saw for a good couple months was probably in the mid 20s. Walking to class for 8am when the sun was rising and it was 12° out in December.

ChatGPT itself frequently lies while posing it's answers as 100% confidently true

Computer Engineering has a lot of overlap with electrical

Goes heavy into the circuit stuff as well as coding

I see they're also going for the long con of trying to disrupt Nvidia's card naming scheme 3 generations down the line

I think this is meant to be a Diary of Whimpy kid thing because the cheese, though survival guide is definitely more a Ned thing

If a budget isn't spent, in a lot of cases it will be allocated elsewhere, so to maintain the budget, it all has to be spent.

ELI5 - If you're working on a craft as a group and the teacher gives you 10 glue sticks, they might notice you only needed to use like 3, and give you less next time because they realize they have you too much, and they can give it to another group that needs more glue. If you want to keep all the glue, the one way to show you needed all that glue is to use all the glue.

>The problem is that mfgs will default to saying it heightens injury allowing them to only sell assemblies, which often cost ~75% of the hardware, making repair by 3rd party companies unprofitable

This might swing the other way if they want to be pedantic enough

Rather than selling laptop fans as the subassembly they'll sell the fan blades separate from the shaft, separate from the housing separate from the bearings, and the motor and cables etc

To make it as annoying as fucking possible for anyone to repair

The effect of gravity on the object at the other end of the tether would be so strong you'd need an infinite amount of force to pull it out.

You're forgetting that the idea of the event horizon is that even light cannot escape as the effect of gravity is too strong.

If a massless photon does not have the energy to escape, then how could you ever accumulate enough to free something with mass.

No, while ChatGPT is very confident when it answers things, it is not necessarily correct

I tried asking it the same technical question 3 times and it gave 3 different seemingly logical explanations of how it got to it's answer - and every answer was different

Another frequent example people mention is that when asking it for code in a language, it will frequently invent things that the language can't do

Well, they did have a point with what they were saying, if they have an inaccurate count from under reporting, it's going to skew lower, and say there's a fewer amount of endangered species

Like how one method people employed of lower confirmed covid cases was to not test. Can't have confirmed cases if you don't test, though it does nothing to the actual amount of covid cases.

>If you're running by me at 0.995c, we will each calculate the other's watch as running ten times slower while seeing our own working fine, and that means we will disagree on whose watch is running slow

In this theoretical scenario, if you were to then compare watches while stationary to each other after, wouldn't it be clear to see which watch ran slow?

Does that also mean the life expectancy of things around us that we know to be shorter is now longer than ours?

Like 80 year old ants?

There's a few "shades" of gray made by checkerboarding colors.

They do the darker gray with the black, as well as the darker gray and lighter gray

Oh we had to do stuff with MIPS on one of those development boards

Took like 10 tries to actually upload the program to it even if your code worked, it sucked

I needed to learn it for a few classes

It was a time

>And without another GOTO to send you back to where you left off, you'll just keep going from wherever you ended up until the program exits or crashes.

>with going forward through the day represented by going outward from the hub to the rim.

That's what I was wondering

I figured the middle and rim would both be midnight since that's when a day cycles over and why I asked about 12:01 lol

Is the inside or outside of the circle the start of the day (12:01am)
