Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the fastest moving objects with some mass in everyday life?
1·12 hours agoLet’s break it down…
The distance, between the traffic light and the cab driver, should be approximately 10 meters.
The time light needs to reach the cab driver’s eyes is:
D ÷ c = 10 ÷ 299,792,458 = 0.0000000333… seconds = 0.0000333… milliseconds
The distance between the cab’s horn and your ears, should be approximately 5 meters.
The time needed for the cab’s honk sound, to reach our ears is:
D ÷ u = 5 ÷ 295 = 0.0169491525 seconds = 16.9491525 milliseconds
If the cab driver had a reaction time of zero, it would still take 16 milliseconds for us, to hear their honk.
The conclusion is that cab drivers have a negative reaction time, so that they can honk before the light turns green, breaking causality.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia accused of trying to cut a deal with Anna’s Archive for high‑speed access to the massive pirated book haul — allegedly chased stolen data to fuel its LLMsEnglish
4·13 hours agoI was referring to Altman lobbying towards considering AI training as fair use of copyrighted material.
I know that pirating is not fair use. However, AI companies seem to rely on pirated copies to train their slop machines, and they are trying to justify this behavior.
I have an HP laptop with a Ryzen 5 3500U and 8GB RAM. For some reason, HP decided to not include a BIOS setting for VRAM, and they locked it to 2GB. So, the usable memory is 6GB, which is low even for Linux.
Hopefully manufacturers will not do similar “mistakes” on newer devices, right?

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on itEnglish
3·1 day agoMaybe we could start making more slop memes, to outbalance the possible usefulness of AI ?
When you create VMs/containers, there is an option on the network step to set the VLAN tag to use

Technology@lemmy.world•Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patchEnglish
11·3 days agoWe didn’t hid our heads in the sand. Your comment serves no purpose, besides being a rant about how Linux cannot work for you. You could at least be more polite.
No one forced you to use Linux, and probably no one will. It’s your setup, and it’s your responsibility.
If you want to keep being an asshole, you will only get more down votes. If you need help transitioning to Linux, you can politely ask for it.
There is no point attacking random people for not “acknowledging” your issues.
