Today I learned :

Cunningham is credited with the idea: “The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.” - Comment on what should I consider before buying winter running gloves? 5 weeks ago:
Those running gloves should be slower than you otherwise you won’t ever catch up to them 😋

Yes … and it doesn’t know when it is on time.
Also, machines are getting better and they can help us with inspiration. - Comment on children 3 months ago:
Words are spelled stupidly so being bright makes this harder.
- Comment on (US question) If the Presidential race in the USA was between Kamala Harris and Nikki Haley how would the campaigning go and would it be more civilized and less low brow comments on both sides? 3 months ago:
Kamala would still be great like now but on the other side it sure would improve things if they had a candidate which was not a rapist, felon and worse.

Great post ! i felt my past Linux experiences where quite normal while reading it. So, thanks to you.
- Comment on Grrr! Stupid non-intuitive default settings! 4 months ago:
More people using Linux would cause problems like this to stop happening.
i say the designers + programmers made it so and you say users made it so. … it seems we disagree here.
- Comment on Grrr! Stupid non-intuitive default settings! 4 months ago:
With gratis Linux we pay with our time. You did very good to go through all this hell in a mere 7 hours. Programmer creating those monstrosities don’t understand our mundane concerns.
- Comment on what would happen if a rogue, earth-size planet ran straight into the sun? anything interesting? 4 months ago:
if it “ran straight”, it wouldn’t have tangential speed, only radial.
- Comment on what would happen if a rogue, earth-size planet ran straight into the sun? anything interesting? 4 months ago:
it would be absolutely immensely catastrophic from the point of view of the planet … but for us and for the Sun, it would be nothing.

How do i motivate myself to motivate myself ?
Humans are naturally automotivating and any stranger’s advice on the internet may not fit the way you do it. - Comment on The LLM (Mistral) randomly started speaking spanish 4 months ago:
Yes we have to experiment a little bit before getting some interesting results … as for my tests it was with LLAMa.
- Comment on The LLM (Mistral) randomly started speaking spanish 4 months ago:
this is weird but sometimes those platforms do crash : once i sent an LLM in an infinite Loop … i wanted the name of the command lsblk and asked to complete this : **blk

think of the bird’s claw as a small torque wrench … similarly, when we unscrew the cap of a jar, we notice that our hands have a limited torque capacity.

Could be the right hand side or the left hand side of an equation* or of an inequation** whatever.
(*) equations have “=” in middle
(**) inequations have “=<” (or …) in middle. - Comment on Least Weasel 5 months ago:
Average body length in males is 130 to 260 mm, while females average 114 to 204 mm.
Males weigh 36 to 250 g, while females weigh 29 to 117 g. - Comment on “A simple calculation” 5 months ago:
[rant] . All authors that often say things like : “we can simply do this or that” … for me, is dismissive humble bragging. And, if they really wanted to encourage readers they would say : “in the following equation we used substitution” … something descriptive.
Every time we study a new subject it is always difficult at first and seeing someone bragging, saying it is simple for them, is never encouraging.
- Comment on If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans? 5 months ago:
Yes, thanks. Let’s hope many countries evolve (or citizens mature) so they can apply necessary policies without degrading into dictatorships.
- Comment on If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans? 5 months ago:
You are right that it happened in the past and it still happens in many countries today : without education we are going toward disaster.
But i was trying to have a somewhat optimistic view and if you consider China’s one child policy it necessitated more education but this policy was sparked by a lack of resources.
We could find more examples where education combine with lack of resources would go the way i was saying. - Comment on If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans? 5 months ago:

We are the only two contributors here rising this topic. How do you see it ?
Please also read my root comment. - Comment on If global warming is a biproduct of humans, wouldn't the logical answer be to kill 2/3rds of the humans? 5 months ago:
The one child policy as was imposed in China is the most drastic that is ethically feasible.
- Comment on Wildlife Protections Take a Back Seat to SpaceX’s Ambitions 5 months ago:
i generally agree with you but for once i do not.
We can absolutely destroy 1 km² of our planet to have a good space program alternative to those of russia or Europe (Ariane 6 not going so well).
