I generally disagree with the entire plan, but if you’re going to do anything like this, there is a large difference between getting caught with a weapon and not. Maybe even a squirt gun. You do not need to have a weapon to get convicted of robbing a bank.
But the speed at which signals propagate along the axons is below the speed of sound, sometimes much below—too slow to create the millions of neuron synchronizations that are the basis for all the amazing things the brain can do.
Is there a study where this is proven? I think that would be a more interesting read than this one.
By these standards, most of my adult relatives are actually children.
The primary reason an MRI is expensive to run is that it has this magnetic field that must be maintained. This is a cost that is irrespective of whether they are running a scan.
So if you have an MRI for small animals and it’s not being used, you might use it for a hamster.
Yeah, it was almost wasted hitting some shitty pavement and causing even more of a heat island problem in this city. But instead, it not only gets the honor of interacting with me, it even serves a useful biological purpose.
Also, strange to bring up name order at all when it has nothing to do with the joke they presented.
It makes me wonder if they badly retold a joke they heard where the original punchline was that his name was Mario Itsumi.
In Japan, Itsumi is actually a common name, either as a family name or as a girl’s given name.
Passenger compartment is even more wrong than glove box, though, isn’t it?
That compartment is used by the driver. I’ve never seen a passenger use it. And obviously, the driver doesn’t keep passengers in that compartment.
It’s got nothing to do with passengers, other than being on the passenger’s side. And if it’s really just because it’s on the passenger’s side, “passenger compartment” is an unusual way to say that in English. It sounds like what you’d call the main cabin.
On the other hand, if you have gloves that you keep in the car, at least it’s possible to keep them in that compartment.
The idea that a state government is unnecessarily at the mercy of any corporation is hard to comprehend. Especially, as in this case, a foreign corporation.
Open source shouldn’t only be the standard for governments. It should be the minimum requirement.
Those splice type of cheats require a highly skilled player who can play well for short amounts of time.
Another thing is that I feel like the era of the private phone number has passed. I see the use case for phone numbers for businesses, but people just don’t use them very much anymore otherwise.
Like, we don’t memorize them. We don’t dial them. They’re just entries in our contacts.
At this point, we could create an alternative way of contacting private phones. Something based on whitelisting instead of blacklisting. Something that can be easily shared but not easily guessed. Something that would be easy to trace who called you.
All of these phone scams rely on the idea that a stranger can just up and contact you without any effort. It’s ridiculous. If we got rid of that, we’d save people from untold billions of dollars of scams almost instantly.
Yes, why is it that religious people aren’t completely logical?
I wouldn’t even try to defend OP, but I once heard someone say that if you have more than four apples, then it is also definitely true that you have four apples.
My computer is good enough to run any games I want to play, even recently released FPS types of games at reasonably high settings. Still not good enough for Win11. My weak-ass tablet, though, was upgraded straight away.
I admit I didn’t watch the video, since it is 17 minutes and I don’t have time right now, but I’ll just throw something out there that I think is a good rule of thumb.
When you ask questions like this, “Do AI-Generated…” so and so, you can usually find a common-sense starting point answer by substituting, “Do human-Generated…” AI has the ability to plagiarize, and so do humans. AI has the ability to plagiarize even when it’s not asked to, and so do humans. Humans can even accidentally plagiarize, but it’s harder to say that AI does things accidentally.
This rule of thumb doesn’t always work, but neural networks attempt to simulate the way human brains function. Obviously, there are some differences. But it’s close enough to get a starting point.
It’s a complicated situation. A complicated question.
Even people who build their own computers usually buy all the RAM they want at the time that they’re building it.
The biggest difference to them is likely the feeling that they’re losing their ability to upgrade, more than the actual upgrade itself. I still think that feeling is an important factor, though.
Do you remember a few years ago, it came out that some company was working on a new idea that, when you were given an advertisement on a TV, it could require you to say the product name aloud or it wouldn’t continue?
I try not to concede anything related to advertising because everything they want seems so dystopian.
This is kind of an intentional cognitive dissonance for Twitch due to its having a conflict of interests.
On the one hand, it wants to tell viewers and advertisers that it cracks down on adult only content.
But on the other hand, the more adult content they let through, the more money they make.
It would be very easy to either make an age restricted section where adult stuff would be allowed, or to completely banish streamers who are the modern equivalent of burlesque. But one is bad PR and the other is bad for revenue.
How about 4D Venn diagrams?
Jokes aside, I wonder what would actually happen if your addiction led to your finding your son’s drugs.
Because usually, an addiction means you’re going to try to hide it. So my guess is you’d pretend you didn’t find drugs rather than out yourself.
I suspect that if you add up all the money Youtubers make, and you divide it by all of the man hours people spent trying to make a living off of Youtube, “poverty stricken PhD candidate” would start to seem like a good financial decision.
