I hear what you're saying, and instinctually I feel gross about it. But, if enabling advertising allows the website I'm visiting to stay in business, I think that might be a trade-off worth making.

The business model of the websites I visit is not my problem. I block ads and trackers at multiple levels, very aggressively, and could not care less if some websites disappeared because of it. Perhaps then we will be left with a more sane and useful subset of the Internet.

Most of the websites I would want to see most are smaller and hosted and maintained by individuals or small groups.

People already pay for things like Kagi to try to get out from under the mountains of SEO adspam. I have to pay in time and aggravation to stay sane in the face of ever escalating tactics to shove ads in my face and manipulate my online behavior. So I don't think a smaller web would be a bad thing.

But I don't see that as likely to happen anyway; companies have found out that advertising and data harvesting is far more profitable, and governments have found the same to be very useful for exercising control.

I don't understand that thought process.

Why should I give up my data to any private entity?

If their business model depends on ads, then I say it should die.

Then the fix is pretty easy, just don't visit their site?

You can whitelist the sites that provide content valuable enough to justify it, which is not most sites.

Looking at the data for lake that goes through the dam, it seems like they keep it at the same level. So it probably CAN make 7MW with more flow, but generally only flows at a state that puts out 2.

There is no way it’s max is 7MW. They likely meant 7GW.

7MW is the amount of power you can get from a couple of diesel gensets, waaaay smaller than even a small power plant

Yes, 7GW. I can't edit original comment.

I looked into this more, and there is quite a bit of seasonal variability to contend with as well.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonbruner/2011/10/20/the-high-s... has some interesting data on the Columbia River and its dams.

From that https://youtu.be/jvnaiHFT6nQ is a visualization of the water releases for the river to allow the water to get to the right dam for the anticipated power use.

I think the key is, it's easy to get "self-driving" where the car will hand off to the driver working on highways. "Follow the lines, go forward, don't get hit". But having it DRIVERLESS is a different beast, and the failure states are very different than those in surface street driving.

This is only the M4. Not the M4 Pro or Max, and the 16 has never gotten the base chip.

Ignoring that, NONE of those answers are correct. It wants "C) Psychology focuses on genetic makeup, while sociology focuses on social interactions.", but that's not a true statement. Psychology is absolutely not focused on genetic makeup.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.06950 "Large Language Models Do Not Simulate Human Psychology" is a recent preprint.

Lots of them, for instance https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3708319.3733685

I think when they said "vendor" they meant Qualcomm.

Why would they be isolated from the consequences of the power efficiency of their components?
