But what if there’s some sort of nuclear/zombie/robot/alien-apocalypse which results in tremendous data loss. Maybe a thousand years from now a future archeologist wonders why there are so many cursed pictures from a particular era. That might be a deeply unsettling mystery until someone finds an ancient research document about image generating AI. However, if nobody finds that document, the archeologists might just go with the traditional “ritual purposes” explanation.

Water and salts are a package deal. If you have a planet with one, you’re going to have all the others as well, because they all come from an exploding star.

When a star goes supernova, it creates oxygen, which can later combine with hydrogen to make water. That very same supernova also makes sodium, potassium, magnesium, chlorine, sulfur etc. so you end up with all the elements for making a bunch of different salts. Ask physicists why supernova does this sort of packaging.

Aah, so that’s what’s holding back my spontaneous adventures. I need to upgrade to a bigger account. My 35 cents need some room to breathe.

My bank account seems to be pretty big. No matter how much money I throw in there, I never seem to run out of space. As far as I’m concerned, it’s infinite.

I guess, eventually there will be some sort of limitation and the bank gives you a call to tell you that this is a personal account not meant for managing the cash flow of an entire country. Until then, we’re all good, and I’m going to think my account is infinite.

Yay! It’s the news season of the Shit Show. The previous season finale was absolutely breathtaking, so I have high hopes for the coming episodes. 🍿

They had proper equipment.

Let me introduce you to the concept of vapor pressure. The volatility of a material depends on the temperature. Even cold water will still evaporate slowly. Instead is being a binary things, the vapor pressure will increase gradually as the temperature increases.

This means, that you can empty a glass of water by just waiting. You don’t even need to boil the water to make it evaporate. It’s already evaporating very slowly, even in room temperature.

Therefore, raw milk straight from the udder, is also evaporated milk.

Obviously Netfilx wants to tell the stock holders how many “new subscribers” they have every quarter. Nobody stopped to think what those numbers actually mean.

Well if you can’t use explosives, I suggest you soak the carcass with gasoline and light it up using a minigun. That should be American enough.

Winamp source code was published on github, but the license said you can’t fork or share the code. Such a license isn’t compatible with github, which is all about forking and sharing.

Based on the article, this is a train wreck of cosmic proportions. My guess is, the CEO panicked and went into damage mitigation mode.

Sounds like they’re trying to put out a titanium fire using only a bucket of water. What could go wrong.

Yeah, those services can be really expensive, so justifying expenses like that might be hard in a small project.

And if you decide to use an LLM, don’t settle for the first version. Ask thoughtful questions, request relevant improvements, and spend some time with this document. The first version tends to have a bunch of flaws, mistakes and oversights, and the LLM might even be able to find and fix them if you tell it to do that. After a few iterations of ironing out the wrinkles, you should show the document to a real lawyer just in case.

Also, economics of the equation are important. NASA is funded by american tax payer money, so politics gets involved. SpaceX is a business, so normal ameircan capitalism applies here.

Both are doing impressive things, but only one is deliberately using media to build hype.

What did I just watch? I feel like I’ve just had enough internet for one day, and it’s not even lunch time yet.

When you start studying a topic like this, you need to define some terms clearly. For example, if hackers grab your passwords, is that a breach in privacy, security or both? If Google is stalking you and knows your every move, desire and plan, what does that violate?

Once you have clear definitions for these things, it would be more helpful to see how different browsers compare on this scale.

But does the law give any rights to non human sentient extraterrestrial beings? If they are not a legal entity of any sort, this could lead to some interesting results.

Let’s say you ram into their ship, could anyone sue anyone? What if they evaporate your car with a doom laser cannon? Maybe that’s sort of like crashing your car into a rock, as far as blame is concerned.

Makes you look at Democratic Republic of the Congo in a new way. If it’s in the name, it has to be important to them, right?

Reading this discussion has made me understand a little bit better why America seems to be always on fire…
