Willow also solved a benchmark problem in minutes that would have taken the best computer in the world 10 septillion years, so more than a trillion trillion, or one with 25 zeros on the end, more than the age of the universe


journos really should be called out on florid rhetoric like this. if they wish to say stuff like this, they should also at least summarise how the scientists & engineers themselves arrive at such a conclusion, otherwise a cynic might just cry "bullshit".

You'd think the history here would disqualify her from the outrage she is expressing over the Wells affair, but she seems to be doing the opposite. The Liberals will be wanting a scalp.

oh dear. once again, in the eternal battle of MSM & pollies vs facts & science, the former win, ergo further stupidifying & cretinising #TheGreatUnwashed. Sigh.

A senior Victorian Liberal, speaking anonymously for fear of retribution, shares Kean’s concern that the party is stuck in a negative feedback loop.
See that?
negative feedback loop
dweebs commonly reach for that rhetorical device, mistakenly thinking it paints a picture of a dire situation getting worse & worse.

d'oh!
πŸ™„πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

yep, sure, it
sounds bad, doesn't it, coz "ooooh, 'negative'; that's bad & scary, innit!"

well, nope. the term has been purloined in complete ignorance from control engineering. in fact, negative feedback loops are the desirable arrangement, whereas the term the dopey pollie & journo should have used, is "positive feedback loop". but ofc they're not gonna do that, are they, coz "ooooh, 'positive'; that's all light & fluffy & good & wholesome & unicornie,
innit!

no, you ignoramuses...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback
Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.

Whereas positive feedback tends to instability via exponential growth, oscillation or chaotic behaviour, negative feedback generally promotes stability. Negative feedback tends to promote a settling to equilibrium, and reduces the effects of perturbations. Negative feedback loops in which just the right amount of correction is applied with optimum timing, can be very stable, accurate, and responsive.

Negative feedback is widely used in mechanical and electronic engineering, and it is observed in many other fields including biology,[1][2] chemistry and economics. General negative feedback systems are studied in control systems engineering.

Negative feedback loops also play an integral role in maintaining the atmospheric balance in various climate systems on Earth. One such feedback system is the interaction between solar radiation, cloud cover, and planet temperature.
sigh, get orf my bloody lawn!

'Loved by everyone': Shark attack victim remembered as community 'keystone'
JFC, MSM journos remain rhetorically pathetic. Just for once i'd like to see one of these saccharine reports written in a different style, after someone's death by shark, car, health, space-junk...
'Loathed by everyone': Shark attack victim remembered as complete arsehole, a stain on society, a festeringly pointless waste of space. "Personally my only regret is that this turd wasn't ripped to shreds years ago", giggled ecstatic wife. "The only way this could have been better was if the gobbling had happened on the mongrel's birthday, or xma$, or anniversary, or..".

The 18 islands which make up the Faroes are connected by 23 tunnels, four of which run below the sea
Look, i'm not a rocket scientist nor brain surgeon, so i'm struggling a bit here. Pls help, someone.

What's an island? Ain't it
kinda sorta like a bit of land surrounded by, not to put too fine a point on it, a body of water, which in non-lake & non-riverine contexts, some might consider a bit, well... sea-ish?

So, if one were to have, say, 18 islands, so defined, & if they were all interconnected via tunnels, then... & this seems to be the tricky bit... doesn't it
kinda sorta ipso facto mean that all said tunnels
run below the sea
I mean, if vehicular transport infrastructure were to connect some islands together but not be "below the sea", mightn't some vulgar cynics tend to opine these would be called, well... bridges ?

What vital concepts & facts am i missing here, pls?
