   Unrelated, but I wonder if the OP's dog moves from the bed to the floor because the radiator turns on? might need more sensor data :D

   As others have stated this is not what the article/study states, also speed is related to a street drug with unknown dosage and control. While the prescribed pharmaceutical-grade medication is precise and well managed with slow release mechanism, making it vastly different from the street drug.

   > Just look at the recent CVS Caremark forced switch from Zepbound (2nd Gen) to Wegovy (1st Gen) in July.

   This is something I wasn't aware of, are you on 2nd gen Zepbound then?

   My wife has been plateaued at an undesirable weight and has been wanting to try this, however, the VA refuses to support it regardless of the fact she fits their guidelines and requirements to receive it. They recently banned it due to costs.

   I prefer her to use Zepbound if we can get it, the question is how? We refuse to use the alternative methods where the drug is hand made to be equivalent to them as that seems very sketchy.

   Inelegant was the state of the Internet back then, I loved it.

   Yeah I am in the same boat, I have a lot of airthings products primarily for the radon measurements, which is at the same price point.

   you sound like me, I was a little younger though ... aimbots, wallhacks, esp, textures, radar, it was all intriguing and I hated encountering cheaters in CS 1.4 and 1.5. I also began dabbling in writing bots around this time, as POD Bot was awesome!

   php had also been a thing of mine, I spent many months in DALnet and EFnet #php. Primarily around the time of v3 prior to v4's big launch...

   Cost/pricing is similar enough to a salary, why is it not realistic to have these costs front facing? I can't see anything positive from the consumer perspective with hiding the numbers. The business side, there is always a reason to hide things.

   Its likely over 100GB of data, so I wouldn't say its necessarily unusual to spread out the bandwidth across multiple hosts.

    You really just answered this yourself:

    > Assume a computer would need several minutes to simulate everything that would've happened in the stick. I clearly got the output faster than a computer (and with more precision), so does this imply I'm doing anything particularly fascinating?

    You assert that you have output faster than a computer with more precision. However, you do not have any empirical data, just observable data; as stated by zdragnar:

    > The difference between you breaking a stick and the computer modeling it is that you've measured nothing. You don't know, with any precision, the amount of force you used, the rate the stick broke at, how much mass remains in the two pieces and how much was lost to splintering, etc.

    Then you further state that you can measure those with a ruler and a scale; however, this inherently takes time with significant uncertainty in your measurements and calculations. Whereas a computer will provide all of those numbers.

    The other thing to consider is the method of simulation such as finite-element analysis (FEA) and the resolution you need. You can get segmented data all the way to down a specific volume of that stick, good luck with the hand calculations on that.

    Unlikely as those services barely scrape the surface of genetic coding, if I recall they only sample from specific regions of the DNA to generate their data.

    But I am also likely wrong, so I am hoping someone can challenge/confirm this thought.

    It's also an extremely niche field, with a very high attrition rate in terms of training, and few people are truly capable of working in that industry. There will be retraining for certain, and a reduction in pay/rank. They certainly do not need to lose their job over a mishap, while an egregious one, it is still a trainable moment.

    They also have a drive on that list that has an Avg Age of 92 months, also they have significantly more Seagate drives compared to the rest. Additionally, most of these drives are consumer drives which are not intended to be ran at 100% for months on end.

    If you build it, they will come...

    Most of the time, technology that is leading edge is only there for a short period, as its either bought out or lacks funding. With IBM, they have the funds to start revolutions, and have a larger vision at play. However, quantum computing is not a widely accepted concept due to a lot of its complexities, which is likely why its such a niche area. Given time and money, which IBM can handle, something will happen.

    Just noting that I have interest in multiplayer support similar to Factorio or Satisfactory where players work towards a common goal, and also have purchased with that not being a feature per the road map. These types of games make for good time passers while conversating with distant friends.

    This is certainly a tool I have been waiting for, as it simplifies what I do by spreadsheet.

    However, one additional step I do is find out of the products are also listed on Alibaba or similar. As you often can find a bed being sold by a large company in America for $5,000.00, and it is actually purchased from an Asian market as a set of multiples (4 or 5) at $200.00/ea unit. Any chance of that being tracked as well?
