I just realised I'm not entirely sure what stores/transmits energy in photos. Obviously the frequency of the photon is important, higher frequency is higher energy. But does light have amplitude?...
It's hopeless isn't it? We complain about destroying the planet and being a horrible species, but both you and I are part of the problem.
Indulgence is selfish and being selfish is the reason humans have gotten to this point. But everyone's going to be selfish, so why shouldn't I be? There's no hope of the world recovering. Might as well have a metaphorical doomsday party.
I hope I can have a peaceful death. One without horrible pain and fear leading up to it. Killing myself seems like the best way for that. Instead of dying slowly from disease, I can shoot myself and be gone before the pain starts. But again, the fear of death is so horrible... No matter how much I think about the fact that it's just nothingness, it's still terrifying. Before I was born I experienced nothingness, and it was fine. Returning to nothingness would be fine. But I'm so scared despite that
I have latest update Windows 11, the latest update Google Chrome, and my PC hardware is:
3070ti GPU
Ryzen 7 5800x CPU
TUF Gaming x570 motherboard
So not really old hardware. But anti-aliasing sounds like the right answer, and it makes complete sense. Now I'd like to see what a webpage looks like without it!
You're actually right! I can tell when my dog is barking to go outside, at someone on the street, if one of her toys got stuck and she wants me to get it for her, barking to play, etc. All from outside the room. Never thought about it before
Guillermo Söhnleinm told Insider he has wanted to make humanity a multi-planet species since he was 11 years old, and that OceanGate was part of that ambition.
Justice systems around the world are using artificial intelligence (AI) to assess people with criminal convictions. These AI technologies rely on machine learning algorithms and their key purpose is to predict the risk of reoffending. They influence decisions made by the courts and prisons and by parole and probation officers.
Finding the area under a function in calculus. Super cool to me, for some reason. Imagine trying to make a small grid and counting out the area under a curve - you'd still be pretty inaccurate and it'd take forever.
I'm sorry that so many people get caught up in everything bad in the world. I'm sorry that you have too, and I'm sorry you've gone through so much hurt in your life. I have this warmth in my heart now. It'll go away soon. I'm so terribly lonely. But for now I just wanted to share this moment with someone else. I hope you don't...
Twitter is transforming into X, as the site’s former bird logo has now been replaced by an official new X logo. Elon Musk, who owns the transformed social media site, began signaling the change early Sunday morning with a series of tweets, starting with one that said, “and soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and,...
I'm starting out as an intern and don't really know what my boundaries should be. I'm trying to do a lot of stuff so that I seem valuable, and the company will hire me. But I can't keep up with other things in my life. I know that they'll probably expect me to keep up the pace once I'm hired full time, but I won't be able to long-term.
Slacking off now or setting reasonable expectations would mean I'm less likely to be hired I think.
But then again, my boss is a really nice and understanding guy. He hasn't pushed me to work so hard - I did that myself to increase the chances I've been hired. Just not really sure what to do.

How much energy could a photon store?
