I told you, I'm not arguing. I actually agree on that point.

Not arguing here. But just want to point out that disability subculture usually arises as a survival response in the face of discrimination and segregation. Everyone has a need for community and a sense of belonging. When broad hegemonic culture rejects you and your presence, belonging is found in the one distinctive feature that is the cause for the rejection and the source of cohesion with your peers. See also gay subculture as a response to homophobia, US black culture as a response to racism, feminist sorority subculture in response to misogyny, etc. So it is not rare to see disability subculture as a response to ableism. These communities are very important for security and preservation of individuals. Just as everywhere else, security is always a trade-off with something else.

She probably did. But the reviewer won't know that as the paper (should) get anonymized before review. The author's own name will be censored all the way throughout the paper with certain publishers.

It's a catch-22 situation. You are supposed to disclose if you wrote the thing you're citing, but also cite in third person, and also it should be obfuscated for the peer review. So, what happens is that you write something like "in the author's previous work (yourownname, 2017)…" then that gets censored by yourself or whoever is in charge of the peer review, "in (blank) previous work (blank)…". Now, if you're experienced in reviews you can probably guess it is the author of the paper you're reviewing quoting themselves. But you still don't know who it is, and you could never guess right whether it is Ruth Gotian or not. So you're back to the tweet's situation.

Well, first: this is not just one color. There are 4 or 5 different color blocks mixed in the picture. Which makes it hard to pinpoint a name for a single shade. Second: if you know anything about color theory, it is quite obvious that it's any combination of red and green (or yellow and magenta). In color theory this combinations both can make anything from bright orange to yellow to grapefruit red. Or, if you greatly desaturate it or charge it towards black in hue, to brown. Everyone here is calling it some form of brown as well. And it might actually be browny (the color) by the overall range of values in the picture.

As we all know, brown is just orange with context. Thus, the only technically accurate name it could be given is orange.

Orange, fite me…

The fold and the flip have already cycled several years of continuous improvement. The hinges now are a massive improvement over the original flimsy hinges. The crease has been getting smoother as well.

It's interesting, it's still an early adopter kind of product. But it obviously has a market, however small it might be.

These things are usually calculated quarter to quarter.

He placed the main channel on hold, but has still continued to produce content. He has an extraordinary game show in podcast format that shares very unique trivia called Lateral. He is also in the post-production phase of a new run of videos featuring a big road-trip, according to his newsletter. He also occasionally still makes new series of Technical difficulties.

Yes, that's rack space. It is not even half of the costs of a data center. I know because I've worked in data centers and read the financial breakdowns of those materials. They are also useless without actual servers and deprecrate their value really fast.

Rack space is literally the only thing valuable that would be left. Those GPUs are useless for non LLM computation. The optimization of the chips and the massive amounts of soldered RAM. They are purpose made, and they were also manufactured very cheap without common longevity and endurance design features. They will degrade and start failing after less than 5 years or so. Most would be inoperable in a decade. Those data centers are massive piles of e-waste, an absolute misuse of sand.

Aura is the medical term for a visual artifact seen by people right before a migraine. I have chosen this interpretation of the name and find it apt.
