You can have all the free time in the world, if you spend it all trying to have more, you don’t get to enjoy it.

I mean, it’s a gigantic million years old fossil, what can some touching do? It probably won’t even tip over

Everyone feels emotions. Emotional intelligence means being capable of recognizing your own emotions (or other people’s) and not let them rule you, but to let you rule them, so they can help you when necessary and not damage you.

People would be mad, SteamOS and M$ itself are already giving people enough to ditch windows, doing such a thing would make it even worse. It’s just better to try and convince publishers to only focus on Windows

Never seen boomer humor referencing furries, grindr and trans people. Usually it’s about bosses, mondays and taxes

The logic is telling Israel “your country is not welcome here, we don’t agree with you”, which is different from saying " your people are not welcome here", because only representative are affected

A later NASA mission will attempt to collect the rover’s samples and bring them to Earth for closer analysis in laboratory conditions.

Damn I didn’t expect thats. Sounds cool as hell, hope they manage it.

People think this is a personal attack. It’s not (unless this guy actively supports his government). It’s sad that people suffer because of their government actions? Yes. Is it necessary? As a symbolic act of protest against a regime you don’t support, also yes.

Yeah, a hearth attack is an extreme case, but tiredness would be a pretty likely and frequent cause of incapacitation in my opinion.

Not a pilot, so of course I don’t know the kind of pressure in the cabin, but I would’ve guess it was normal?

Like I wouldn’t exxpect someone to be 100% vigilant 100% of the time, especially in long duration flights. That’s why there’s two pilots, if you are ona clear sky, no turbulence, perfectly calm conditions, I wouldn’t see much of a differrnce in them relaxing and chatting over coffee or just a 15 minutes power nap (not on 1 and a half hours long journey of course)

If you sell me a 2" by 4" board, you cut it 2"+the width of the sawblade, just like the metric boards are sold.

Also is a saw really 1/2" wide? That’s like 1.27cm, that’s wild.

If you really really cannot sell a true 2"x4" at the price of a 1.5" x3.5", just keep the same price and call it what it is.

There is no sensible reason to sell something as a dimension before it’s ready to sell, a 2"x4" should be so when sold, not when curing, it takes nothing to cut oversize to accomodate for shrinkage, or to cure and cut later at the right dimension

I noticed discord and google doing it. Didn’t think much of it but maybe you are onto something

Not only the content doesn’t exist yet, it’s just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).

And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.

That’s why I said “most humans”. If you take an average person, chances are they are unable to produce a song, if not replicate one they have heard. If that person is a musician, if they make an original song it’s likely similar in concept, execution and technique to other songs they have experienced (because human learning is largely, though not entirely, consumption of previous knowledge and retransformation). Only a minuscule minority of people would be able to produce truly novel music, with rules that are not and have never been used before.

Does it mean only a person that is exceptional in a field can be considered human and intelligent?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that LLM learn in the same ways as humans do (even if the principle is similar) and that there is any " intelligence" in what they make. But plenty of people enjoy AI gemerated content, sometimes without noticing (and AI generated songs are the most likely to be unidentified by the average persone in my opinion).

But the examples picked by the captain are objectively bad arguments to define intelligence and coscence, as we are being clearly demonstrated in these recent years. Current AI models are pretty darn good at transformative art, probably more than the average person, and that ok, just like a car is objectively faster than any person could possibly be, or a robotic arm is infitely more precise.

The irony is that nowadays, something that is universally considered non-human is able to do these things, arguably better than the average human.

CGP grey did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE

Basically one car breaking too much will make the following brake even more and so on until one stops and there’s a jam. There is no clear reason like a road blockage or an accident, just compounding slow down.

Not sure about USA, but in other countries istigation to suicide is absolutely illegal and punished.

Pure NaCl is cloudy white, so if it has any other color, there are other minerals mixed in the crystals, the NaCl is still there, there are also a buch of other atoms

If only the search function worked more than half of the time, just like it doesn’t work on 10
