Except it’s barely in your hands because your surroundings have vastly more influence over what you actually become.
What a metaphor.
- Comment on Scientists Develop New Dirt-Powered Fuel Cell That Runs Forever 4 months ago:
I’d say a battery is at least something that should be “chargeable”, either one time or rechargeable. I dont think you can use solar cells to store energy back into the sun.
- Comment on I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy? 5 months ago:
I thought this was a pretty good in-depth explanation of the infinite case and the finite case: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTsRGQj6VT4
- Comment on [help] Are there tools for documents manipulating that can provide an approximate size of components (text included)? 5 months ago:
I would look into a library that does manipulation of odt (or docx). Code whatever algorithm you need to do the restructuring. Now your left with an in memory representation of the document that you can hopefully figure out how many pages it spans, or save it to a temporary file.
All depends really on how feature rich the odt libraries are and/or how deep you want to dive into the spec.
I feel like this is an XY problem. Is there an underlying issue your trying to resolve?
- Comment on With the creation and use of ChatGPT and Bard, I bet ELI5 community and subreddit have had less posts, because people can just ask them instead. 5 months ago:
Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you’d normally search stackoverflow for.
- Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages? 6 months ago:
Just thinking. Maybe there’s a non linear relation between the uptake and the amount of alcohol. As for other products, they usually have a nutritional information table per 100g that you can thus read as percentages.
- Comment on Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage 8 months ago:
If what the first commenter said is true. They will just implement RCS or an alternative in the EU and make up some reason why they can’t or won’t for the US market.
