The MGU-H is probably the most fascinating aspect of current F1 engines.

This.

Technologically, the MGU-H is quite the marvel. I am sad that engine manufacturers have cried their way into getting it removed

The "decent drive on unexpected debut due to appendicitis" route seems to be the best way on to the f1 grid at this point.

Best way to get a drive but going by the past example, seats received through this route do not end up being a long term thing

Great to see them having fun. The atmosphere around the team was very negative a year ago

That was an incredibly poised and informative response by Carlos. Thanks for linking it. Cheers

Oh ok. Are these changes tailored towards making touchscreen usage better¿?

Pretty disappointing state of affairs this. People should really be doing better when it comes to treating women with respect

Yeah. Scrolling(amount of scroll per turn of the scroll wheel/swipe on touchpad) has been intentionally slowed down. Another issue is when you scroll fast, the scrolling is stuttery because papers tries to render on the fly when scrolling. There is an open issue to discuss whether this should be the behaviour or not.

But don't worry too much. It was much slower a month ago and yet progress is being made at a great pace and hence I expect it to get better in the near future. Pablo Correa Gomez(the lead dev of Papers) is doing some great work.

As a Germany fan, I thank arsenal and arteta for bringing Havertz back to path he was on before going to Chelsea. It is a fucking joy to watch him play and now Germany's trio of Prodigies(Havertz, Musiala and Wirtz) is complete

Well for Firefox, the one getting updated is the native rpm version which is part of the standard Silverblue install while the one already updated is the flatpak version. The native version is just called 'Firefox' while the one from flatpak is called 'Firefox Web Browser' if I remember correctly. I have no idea why signal is showing up there. Maybe it is a bug.

Also next time a system update is shown in GNOME software, check using rpm-ostree status to see if any updated image is staged. If yes, then you don't have to bother with gnome software - when you shutdown or reboot, the update will automatically be applied.

You keep going again and again about 'quantum science's but what exactly do you think that means because particle physics is based on quantum field theory which is probably the most advanced and complete version of 'quantum science' known to us.

As for Sabine's proposal that we should be concentrating on quantum gravity -

a) A lot of people are currently involved in quantum gravity research and

b) the only reason that quantum gravity research is 'inexpensive' is because it is mostly theoretical in nature and not because the experiments to research quantum gravity are 'efficient'. Also we can create a thousand theories but it doesn't matter after a certain point because without experiments to verify which theory is right, it is all educated guessing in a sense

Time can be devoted towards coming up with better hacks so as to reduce the amount of resources necessary to get the necessary results, which would be important in the long run. The science behind building an efficient collider may be useful in fields like nuclear fusion, where the energy of initiation is high and containing the reaction is equally important.

I am bewildered that you think scientists are not already doing everything they can to build/operate colliders(and any experimental setup for that matter) in an efficient way. They are already trying to get more data from the experiments while keeping all other parameters the same while also building better methods to parse and interpret the data so more conclusions can be drawn from the same amount of data. Experimentalists always know that their field is viewed unfavourable by certains sections of the public which results in them getting less resources as compared to shit like sports, entertainment, etc. which is why they are used to maximizing the equipment they are able to build.

Physicists might want to print their names on a research paper that comes across the next obscure short-lived particle in the universe, but the path that leads to the discovery is arduous. The architecture necessary to document the observations are expensive. The energy necessary to replicate the data multiple times in order to prove a point beyond reasonable doubt is equally high. These physicists, on the quest for image and recognition in the scientific community do themselves a favour, more than the Earth for whom these discoveries are supposed to benefit.

While I agree that a lot people are involved in science have personal motivations to claim that those motivations supercede their interest to progress knowledge seems very insulting especially as there is no data to backup your claims.

Fields like quantum behaviour, which involve studying entanglement and information exchange better explain the state of the universe we are currently living in(on Earth).

Again particle physics also comes under 'quantum behaviour' and gives us a lot of information about the current state of the universe

Individual experiments may not reveal a huge breakthrough such as the hype that would be created upon discovery of a new particle, but in the long run they would be helpful in building new technology that may end up reducing energy consumption

I don't see how this field would directly contribute to reduction of energy consumption.

Finally while I respect discussions on investments in science and whether that money can be utilised in a better way or for a different purpose, I ultimately find these discussions facile because things like sports, cinema, other forms of entertainment use much more resources(both monetary and natural) while contributing little to society in the long term. Unless we divert resources from those fields to use for the betterment of the planet, arguing that we should do the same from scientific research of any kind is a meaningless gesture

Well it is possible that he has multiple cars and that they are all seeing use between him and his family. Hence him buying and driving a new car while still owning an old one could make sense

He was creeping ahead before the lights and it seems he ended up outside his box before the lights went out
