This doesn’t seem to account for convection, which is presumably the entire point of a heat sink?

For those who aren’t scientists, no. You don’t need legal access. You don’t necessarily need any access at all (though imo it’s negligent to cite without having read the paper)

Where do you live!? Cocos islands?

To make a circular mask in gimp, use the circle select tool, then fill your selection.

This, I’ve never understood the learned helplessness of some people. The 12,000 employee international company I work for doesn’t pay for any Adobe products. You can just use literally any other product or open source alternative, I promise you there are multiple good ones with extremely well supported professional workflows used by millions of people every day, for every conceivable Adobe product. You can learn a new workflow I believe in you, it will take like three months to get used to.

I think a big part of the problem is the time investment and the fact most people really vibe with only a few types of games.

On time investment: in order to say anything interesting about the game, anything you couldn’t get from watching someone play it for two minutes, you’d need someone to take the time to finish it, often 50+ hours, and probably more to digest it and to play stuff around the sides (achievements, collecting. Given an 8 hour work day, and reasonable breaks, that’s easily a week or more of just playing before you start writing. Then you’ve got to write with better insight into mechanics, design etc than the average guy, which a lot of critics fail at. Not just what mechanically does the game do, but clearheadedly why is that different, what makes that good and bad, how do they reinforce or work against the games themes.

On subjectivity: I could not review a first person shooter. I could not review an RPG like Skyrim. It’s not because I couldn’t play those games, or even derive some enjoyment. But rather that I know my mind, and I know that I have a strategic optimizing mind that left alone would rather play spreadsheet simulator stuff like rule the waves or dwarf fortress or football manager. Complexity is my god. But that’s not the route to good design for most people. Similarly, guy who only plays CSGO probably shouldn’t be reviewing disco Elysium.

All of this put together means an ideal reviewer would be working on a narrow selection of games, taking weeks or more for each one. And they’d be competing with people making excellent video essays for free on YouTube or whatever. Text is already a niche (hence declining film/book reviews also)

Are you aware of what identical twins are?

Yeah but i dont know when ec2 became a thing

But but but… Ec2 instances aren’t ai, you could have done this with a cron job in 2018.

An ec2 instance is just an Amazon server, like a computer you can use for anything. She does mention ai but token use isn’t what’s incurring the cost here.

I suppose all those children speaking both Hungarian and Latin will have no problem with the Latin name of this creature named after a Hungarian biologist

My partner is quite a fan of the Ollie Richards story learning books. I think they have a couple of those for Spanish.
