- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 1 week ago:
So I used to work in industrial automation, and I did see a factory owner buy a robot to automate a task because it was a brain meltingly simple task that was unpopular with his workers. The robot was slower, and more expensive than a human.
It was taking a small piece of metal from a stack and putting it in a machine and pushing a button (not sure if he had a two-hand-no-tie-down set up) then taking the now bent price of metal out of the machine and putting it on a stack. I think they had about 8 hours production per week of demand for the part.
He didn’t do it out of the kindness of his heart but because he got tired of paying recruiters to find people willing to do it.

I recall that Canada was working on a long-term nuclear waste storage facility. I looked it up, it’s a 26 billion dollar project.
It’s not a hypothetical issue, it’s a political issue. Political issues are real issues.
You can’t blame Grassy Narrows first nation for opposing the location of the nuclear waste facility near their territory. It’s a community that’s been decimated by industrial waste.
I support nuclear technologies where sustainable energy isn’t feasible but I think people aren’t wrong to consider a waste a problem. It’s not an absolute showstopper, but it is something that is part of the challenge of building nuclear facilities.

I also don’t know a lot about the nuclear fuel life cycle, but don’t you think it might be more complicated than this?

Yeah, maybe it’s because if they crane their neck upwards, their rump rises instead of their head

So you see how its front legs droop so much because they’re so heavy? This means its torso is tilted far forwards and so it can’t really lift its neck much more.

Yeah it’s really “throwing like a person that hasn’t been taught how to throw”

Genetic incompatibility - the interspecific cross could only occur one way.
This could be human male-neanderthal female (HMNF) coupling didn’t result in fertile offspring right? Could it also be that HMNF (coupling) didn’t result in fertile female offspring, but did have fertile male offspring?
- Comment on Forbidden Fruit 2 months ago:
Human genome contains significant contribution from Neanderthals. Because of the location of the neanderthal genes in our genome it can only have come from male Neanderthals.

He says that the data is not illegal to possess only illegal to sell, so it’s not CSAM. Also you don’t ever actually possess the data, you facilitate its sale though.
- Comment on I build a machine that turns you into a criminal | Rootkid 2 months ago:
The data isn’t accessable. The device is listed for sale (including the HDD with data: I’d guess SSNs because it is not illegal to possess another persons SSN, only to fraudulently use it and to sell it etc). If someone managed to buy it (in one of the brief, sporadic windows we can expect it to be for sale) the artist would still have to physically send the device to them before the data was actually in their possession, but by pressing the button you are participating in the operation of an illegal marketplace.
It’s good art.
- Comment on But the Canadien stock market is over 33,000! 2 months ago:
Seeing the interview with the two Canadians after the match put me off of them so hard. I don’t want those guys representing me. The way they accused Sweden of only complaining because they were losing was gross. Like even if Canada wasn’t cheating clearly it was reasonable for Sweden to ask for scrutiny. It’s like classic victim blaming, so toxic.

I’m surprised P ended up that high, the amount of autotune in it sounds like AI speech synthesizer with articulation cranked all the way 11 where it just makes random weird sounds
59.1% AI-detection™ score
A small note: that I wasn’t trying to decide whether something was AI, I was trying to evaluate its creativity. So I actually thought A was real, but that it was extremely generic…
Also I only listened to each track once, then decided where to put it in the list. Like “top”, “bottom”, “near bottom but not worst”. And I placed them as I went. If I went through the list again I’d probably swap some but that would have taken way longer and I decided it was more important to be done.

Great work. A few thoughts re: methodology.
- I despair for society’s musical inclinations.
- Not being able to understand the lyrics was a big impediment.
- Not being familiar with/fond of the genres was a big impediment.
- given those two limitations I think I may have inadvertently selected for intra-song diversity and that may favour AI generation since it’s a lot more work for musicians to change sounds in the middle of a song.
I’m very curious to see the results. Sorry I didn’t get to it sooner.

So I’m pretty ignorant of the top of the chart I’d be willing to be a guinea pig. Do you want to send me like 3 chart toppers and an AI song and I’ll see which one is most creative?

The purpose of my idea is to average 2g without expecting people to function in 2g. Not just for the purpose of a weighted blanket
- Comment on HD 137010 b 3 months ago:
What about accelerating 1g for 16 hours of ‘day’, then 8 hours of 3g ‘night’. It would be one hell of a weighted blanket lol.

You guys are too ignorant to see how full of shit OP is.
50F is not 50% hot, it’s cold. If your house was 50F you’d be saying “something is wrong with my HVAC”. You’d never heat to only 50, and you’d never cool that far. It’s cellar temperature (colder than a wine cellar, warmer than a root cellar).
70F is 50% hot. It’s a temp you’d cool to in the summer, and a temp you’d heat to in the winter.
100F isn’t 100% hot either, most people enjoy a hottub to be a little hotter.
Tldr: OP is wrong

I don’t think it’s accurate to only indicate the Roman catholic church. The creation of the bible was a process of curation and editing intentional and accidental.
But the Roman catholic church is defo responsible for the inclusion of the Johannine Comma in the KJV.
