Well, one way or another it won’t be too many generations. Either we figure out it’s a bad idea or sooner or later things will go off the wheels enough that we won’t maintain the infrastructure to support everyone using this type of “AI”. Being kind of right 90% of the time is not good enough at a power plant.

Heavy things can bounce if they have the right properties. That ball looked to be going somewhere between 5-10 mph and that guy went down fast. That momentum had to come from the ball, and that ball has to weigh considerably more than he does to hit with that much force at that speed.

That chart isn’t of “how low” the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn’t great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.

Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.

Radiant heat is great for intermittent heating. Instead of heating a space, you heat the objects (and people) in the space, and that heat can be felt seconds after starting the heater. It doesn’t matter if the air temp is actually 2C if the radiant heat makes it feel like 22C.

No, their response did not validate that. In fact, they said the words “it’s not technically illegal”. There is a possibly illegal way to go about it, and a legal way, and no way to prove the difference, but that doesn’t equal technically illegal.

I didn’t feel you deserved the downvotes for your first question, provided it was in good faith. You’re right, like all common misconceptions, it’s best to present clear data wherever we can.

Yeah, drug names and Pokémon names are running into the same problem. They can’t reuse them, and there are so many already.

Actually, I suppose a name being used for a drug or a Pokémon precludes it from being used for the other, so it is a very shared issue, lol.

Wonder how far they have to reserve names in advance to prevent overlap. A Nintendo vs GSK court case for a name would be less absurd than many news stories this year.

True, but by a different mechanism. Immune memory was not involved in their continued resistance.

They don’t add nicotine to tobacco, tobacco plants produce nicotine. That’s why people have smoked it for 100s of years.

I hadn’t heard of this, but as far as insecticides go, this sounds about as benign as possible.

I do 3D modeling and design and I am a hard #5. Can’t see a thing unless I’m dreaming. But when I think about a part or machine I’m designing I do have an awareness of it in my head, but it’s like it is related to my proprioception (the awareness of where your body parts are) instead my vision. I can imagine the surfaces of what I’m thinking about, and how those surfaces will interact as things move, but can’t see them whatsoever.

I didn’t know real visualization and aphantasia were things until I was well over a decade into this career, haha.

Yeah, I read the article because I wanted to see why they were claiming the pole flipping would make a noise at all. Given that the idea it would make this noise will still be at least some people’s takeaway, this presentation of the data is worse than useless, it’s misleading.

That is a pretty low bar.

Hey now, Arnold deserves better than that.

Consumer Reports. You do need a subscription, but they tabulate a lot of service and warranty info, do a lot of surveys, and do in house testing. If you’re buying a large appliance I’d say it’s worth it. They do other stuff too.

We we considering a samsung fridge among our options when we needed one a few months ago. Ended up going with a brand with higher reliability ratings (for reference, that’s most other brands, according to consumer reports anyway). But man, don’t I regret it now. I could have paid for the privilege of having ads playing in my kitchen at all times (at least until the fridge broke), what a missed opportunity.

will help you become a better LLM

That’s the real highlight for me.

Developer disappointed by game sales announces game will be removed less than a month after Steam launch. FOMO cash grab attempt I guess.

A few months before. Theory checks out.

If your set starts with the Magician’s Nephew, move it to second from last. Read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first. The Magician’s Nephew is chronologically first, but the wrong order to tell the story. Which is why the author didn’t put it first.

It all makes sense if you read Magician’s Nephew first, but it removes mystery from the others. And the reveal of the events in Magician’s Nephew was more exciting after reading most of the rest of the series, instead of being the intro to that universe. It takes some of the magic out of the series. As someone who has read most of C.S. Lewis’s books more than once, I’m pretty confident he’d be pissed about it.

Spoilers below, it is a pretty good series, read it. But also, do not start with the Magician’s Nephew. It is chronologically first, so some publisher changed it after the author died, use the original order.

Last time I was playing FNV I had these two as my companions. Do not recommend for a melee build. Progressing is tough when half the stuff you encounter is dead before you get to it.

And that was without the pictured ultimate form nonsense.
