Man I just cant get enough of watching my algorithm go balls-to-the-wall and max out my disk IO and all 32 of my CPU cores when it runs... parallelism makes me smile :)
Could you imagine going back in time and telling Newton that we put a man on the moon. Then after all his excitement just going "Yea but that was before I was even born, we are way more advanced than that by the time I was born and grew up!"
@unabomber Sure, I leave that for others to decide. I make no assertion about my own qualities.
@tripu I agree entierly. Its basically two sides both cherry picking data and no one bother to do any serious investigation into the truth and present that honestly. Either outright dismissal, or a bunch of circumstantial BS.
I personally dont think there was election fraud, but i still welcome an investigation. But so many people on the left treat an investigation as if it would be a violation of democracy, hell just having trump go to the courts and ask for an investigation, let alone being granted it, is being treated like a violation of democracy... meanwhile the right is just as bad assuming election fraud is undeniable.
I really can't stand the lack of intellectual rigour in all those hints and captious questions about alleged #ElectionFraud in the #US…
Latest example: in this #podcast, #CurtisYarvin argues that there are “means, motive, and opportunity” to suspect crime. But anyone can find as many red flags as they want — *evidence* (or in this case, the lack thereof) and presumption of innocence is what counts. He also wonders why there were #election observers at all, if the process is supposed to be so clean and fair (by the same logic, air travel must be riddled with safety issues and we should assume it's much more dangerous than people think, since there are so many checks and protocols and inspectors).
And this is the messiah of the #NRx…?

The comparison is you would complain about the shit, but you wouldnt jump in it and roll around in it while you complained about it.
Similarly complaining about some shit on the internet isnt a problem, jumping into the shit and immersing yourself in it while screaming about how much you hat it, instead of walking away, is.
@a1batross sorry had to reedit a second after i posted. Forgot to tag the group
@ccc when i say a closed room i dont mean perfectly sealed.. context is everything. I am talking about exactly the real world situation I started this off with as an OP.. that is a home, with ventilation, a rooms with doors open or shut, and a computer in it acting in place of an electric space heater.
When I say it will heat the room I really should have said "the house" but if you have the door open with a space heater this effect would be no different than with a computer.
the point here is not "does a computer make the room warmer".. it is "is a computer as efficient at warming a space as a space heater" and the answer is, effectively, yes.
