Hemisphere…
That’s one of these grey & heavy beer mugs, right?

- Comment on Can you have an infinitely long wavelength of light? Or is there some maximum? 3 days ago:
I’d say we have set an artificial limit: at some frequency/wavelength, we do not call it “light” anymore. Around 1mm, we call it “Radar” or “microwaves”, and at about 1 m or more, we call it “radio”.

How’s AI dubs in other languages?
In German: Unbearable.
No kidding. Each time when I hear one, I wish they have never been invented.
- Comment on How do people calculate pi to the hundredth+ decimal place? 4 days ago:
How do people calculate pi
They don’t.
Pi is well known, up to many more than hundred digits. People memorize it, or look it up, but they don’t need to calculate again (unless they want to go to extremes).
- Comment on How did websites like TinEye recognize cropped photos of the same image (and other likened pictures), without the low-entry easyness of LLM/AI Models these days? 5 days ago:
I don’t remember too much tbh, just that we heard about the theory at university and tried out some of the mathematical methods. They were tiresome ;)
Today I would recommend to start your studies on the wikipedia pages about Markov models and about machine learning.
- Comment on How did websites like TinEye recognize cropped photos of the same image (and other likened pictures), without the low-entry easyness of LLM/AI Models these days? 5 days ago:
Models were a thing even some 30 or 40 years ago. Processing power makes most of the difference today: it allows larger models and quicker results.

You understand that it’s just an animated movie? They do not think.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 1 week ago:
Can’t exceed the speed of sound in the material, not speed of sound in the atmosphere.
Speed of sound in the air is a serious problem as well. It would probably break most rubber bands.
- Comment on If you had a huge slingshot, how much rubber band would you need to send a spaceship into space? 1 week ago:
velocity of at least 11 km/s, which is needed
free benefit of the equatorial velocity, which is about 0.44 km/h, so that reduces our required speed to “only” 10.56 km/h.
How did you go from seconds to hours so quickly? 🤔
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 week ago:
Now what happens?
The disfigured mouse must come from “somewhere”, or rather from sometime.
The logical explanation is: later he has developed his button further, for a longer time jump (and maybe for some other improvement that gave him better confidence) and then he tried it “again”.
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 week ago:
But in a story, there is no “true” timeline, or a more “real” timeline.
That would be the most boring story ever.
It becomes interesting at that point where one (or some) of the possibilities get a special meaning “above” all the others.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Not helpful.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I can’t help but wonder if people around me would think it crossed a boundary.
More details please: How many people have been around when you did that?
(You don’t need to tell the others)
- Comment on Scifi question about time travel: 1 week ago:
It is no paradoxon.
Only your story is a bit unclear at the point where it matters. Let me ask a question to clarify = to destroy what appears a paradoxon, but isn’t.
Question:
Who controls the transmission of the information - the past self or the future self?If the past self controls the transmission, then he receives no information. Case closed. It does not matter what the future self is doing.
If the future self controls the transmission, then he knows when the past self turns off the device. He can send it just a minute further into the past, before the past self turns off the device, and so the past self receives it “in time”.
- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 1 week ago:
Teach your followers never to trust a QR code that is printed on paper. Only on screens that are on trustworthy devices.
- Comment on When does Trump finally start taking accountability? 1 week ago:

Russia hasn’t changed things much.
Ukraine hasn’t changed things much.You seem to let somebody manipulate your opinion.
- Comment on When is a community responsible for suicide to the point it should be shut down ? 2 weeks ago:
Usually, responsibility is indivisible.
So if your community has a leader, then it could be possible that you deem them responsible for whatever.
Or you could say that all (or most) members of a community are guilty of something. But such guilt is not equal to responsibility.
- Comment on Why do “flagship” smartphone chips go out of fashion after just a year? 2 weeks ago:
There was a time when I tried cheap China phones, the newest and best, but from the cheap class. Some where good, some were a desaster.
Now I usually buy phones that have been in fashion 2-4 years before. All good.

To know the first steps.

- Comment on How differently would have information technology developed if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies? Would encryption have been more restricted? 2 weeks ago:
Then you have an answer for OP.
- Comment on How differently would have information technology developed if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies? Would encryption have been more restricted? 2 weeks ago:
if most of the world were under authoritarian regimes instead of liberal democracies?
Well, most of the world is actually under authoritarian regimes and not liberal democracies.
So what is it what you are asking?

King Louie discovered it. - Comment on Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary?? 2 weeks ago:
In the movies :), such jobs are usually very criminal, and most times, they have you hooked for life afterwards.
- Comment on What would you recommend to fix this home network issue. 2 weeks ago:
I assume (wild guess, actually :) that AP1 is low on RAM and therefore close to crashing all the time.
If that’s the real reason, just replace it and look for a new one with the double amount of RAM.
