  definitely don’t run towards them if they have a knife though. although I wouldnt know what to do against a knife wielding attacker if I couldnt run away in general

  looks like normal variation in a persons lettering to me. compare the k in textbook with the k in skibidi, almost the same. distances between letters and especially risers as well are similar between the two sections.

  clueless dev who very rarely touches web apps here, what things would break if you dont touch other records besides those for tour website?

  my only criticism is that it isn’t old-fashioned enough. if we’re reaching back to old names, why not go all the way and pick a name like Ælfgifu

  surely this distribution should have some skew?

  I mean, this is also a particularly amateurish implementation. In more sophisticated versions you’d process the user input and check if it is doing something you don’t want them to using a second AI model, and similarly check the AI output with a third model.

  This requires you to make / fine tune some models for your purposes however. I suspect this is beyond Gab AI’s skills, otherwise they’d have done some alignment on the gpt model rather than only having a system prompt for the model to ignore

  Am Dutch, can confirm

  So you don’t have to modify the amount when the recipe called for kosher salt but you only have sea salt. A cup of pasta? Depending on the type you end up with vastly different weight

  But it does affect the downward force acting on the object. Given two objects of the same shape but with different masses, one will indeed fall slower than the other. This is because the ratio of weight to surface area differs a lot between the two. Here’s a calculator from NASA you can play with, and a relevant passage from the same page:

  If we have two objects with the same area and drag coefficient, like two identically sized spheres, the lighter object falls slower. This seems to contradict the findings of Galileo that all free-falling objects fall at the same rate with equal air resistance. But Galileo’s principle only applies in a vacuum, where there is NO air resistance and drag is equal to zero.

  I get that it’s not the main point of the article, but is she seriously considering that someone’s meal choices are good indicators of whether they’d make a good babysitter?
