People who say you should be allowed and encouraged to cite Wikipedia in academic contexts have clearly not spent enough time on Wikipedia. I love Wikipedia and I think it's one of humanity's greatest achievements-…
In my experience a wealthy person with a gambling addiction eventually becomes a poor person with a gambling addiction
I feel like this is just straight from the Kalshi marketing department. The wealthy make money from speculation by taking calculated risks and offsetting those risks with other investments. They're not betting…
Don't want to victim blame, but this guy could learn to be a little more skeptical of what people are telling him while trying to sell him something. I know you shouldn't have to be on guard like that in a medical…
While your assumptions about barter societies are pretty much true, I think you're off on the origins of currency being tied to force. This is overly influenced by modern fiat currencies whose values are derived from…
Gravity is a pretty major benefit for the development of complex life, because low gravity cannot form an atmosphere, and without an atmosphere, radiation would cause massive problems for early lifeforms. As bad as…
In my experience it is the semi-literate who are most impressed by AI writing and the ones who use it the most to write for them.
> No one expected doorbell cameras to join a mass surveillance network No one? There's a reason I never bought one of these things. This was a pretty obvious outcome to anyone who even slightly distrusts corporations or…
I think you'd really only need pneumatics/hydraulics for the scoring and any special effects. You can accomplish ball launches and paddles completely with basic mechanical parts. For example, you could have the score be…
I'm a chemical engineer and I've worked in some old plants. Before modern electronic control, everything was controlled by pneumatics. A control loop would literally be something like a pressure gauge connected to an…
Because when you buy a live pig, you don't just slaughter and eat it right away, you have to fatten it up over a period of time and then you slaughter it and have a feast. A typical scam is more like fishing, where you…
This is an awesome resource. I have always wanted to try building every one of Hero's known inventions because with modern technology most are quite simply constructed (compared to extremely precise machines brass…
This is something that I find extremely annoying about pretty much everything on computers these days. I have noticed recently that play buttons on pretty much every music player do not work consistently and often show…
To me the biggest piece of evidence that these methods don't actually work for age verification and are completely for surveillance and data collection is that you can't use them to buy wine at the self checkout at the…
Jews have a very different relationship to religious laws than Christians. In his own time, Jesus was combating the predominant interpretation of the Jewish law in favor of his own interpretation, which is based more…
I feel like you can say cock, dong, and schlong on here too. It's a website for adults, it's not Tik Tok where you have to censor everything in these asinine ways.
I love that dicks are a feature of graffiti even going to ancient times. Pompeii's walls are covered with dicks.
Yeah I switched to Linux full time at home last year and never even heard of this distro in doing any research about it.
> "The guy has clearly lost it and thus is probably not making sensible decisions" That isn't the problem though. Fascism isn't mental instability, it's an ideology. Someone going off the deep end and making bad…
What tier do you use for it? I would like to use Kagi, but it seems really expensive for the lower tiers. I may be overestimating how much I use search but it seems like it is pretty limiting.
You think that the US based models aren't doing the same?
When you raise kids in a society that scruitinizes and measures every aspect of their existence against all ither kids, and then send those kids to a workforce where every aspect of their performance and personality are…
For me the main thing is Windows has gotten so bad that I was finally willing to spend time getting Linux running. LLMs are nice, but not necessary. Claude helped me with a driver issue at least knowing where to look…
Does that matter? AI companies seem more concerned with scaling at any cost regardless of laws broken because once they're big enough they're too central to the economy to face any real consequences.
I think it's impossible for these ads not to eventually get incorporated into responses. There is a class of people who treat an LLM as their super smart best friend who they talk to about everything. It's a level of…
