Unfortunately the average person prefers flowery language for some reason.
If you tell it to be precise and short it usually works fine.

I don’t understand the “that’s no how PDFs work” criticism.
Removing data from the original file is the whole point of the exercise! Of course unique tokens can be hidden in plain sight in images, letter spacing, etc. If we want to make sure to remove that we need to degrade the quality of the PDF so that this information is lost in said lossy conversion.
- Comment on Apples to Apples 6 months ago:
Actually, apple varieties are preserved via grafting. If you take an apple seed, the tree that will grow from it only has 50% of the DNA of the tree that made the apple. So there is absolutely no guarantee that the taste was preserved across generations.

- Comment on accents 6 months ago:
Yes, because they communicate with natural behavior.
Language is learned, but you can still “understand” another human if they are angry, crying, or laughing.

NO understanding. Just words that happened to describe all of it.
If being able to describe it does not mean understanding, then what is understanding?

Forsén stated in the 2019 documentary film Losing Lena, "I retired from modeling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too… Let’s commit to losing me.
From Wikipedia
She was a paid model, so I don’t consider the usage unethical based on that. But I like this comment from a journal:
In today’s age of high-resolution digital image technology, it seems difficult to argue that a 512 × 512 image produced with a 1970s-era analog scanner is the best we have to offer as an image quality test standard".
Lmao, they do have a point though!

They will probably never join. Iirc there was a referendum once and they are quite happy with their arrangement.
Norway is part of Schengen and the European economic area.

Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. And a big ass cement block. And a wooden walkway. But there’s nothing else there. It’s a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!

- Comment on Bees 8 months ago:
Yeah, the focus on bees is weird
But it’s a proxy for protecting insects in general. If normal people caring about bees gets pesticide use reduced I am all for caring about bees.

As long as you tuck it’s really hard to land in a damaging way.
Back flips are surprisingly possible with some exercise. I can do them on flat ground.

Fair enough :)
- Comment on space 8 months ago:
Sure you can, but you need to adjust your position due to centrifugal forces all the time. A time machine would have to do that as well.
If a ball is flying in a straight line through space with a speed of 1m/s I can predict without much math where it will be at any point in time. In fact, if the reference frame is chosen such that the ball is stationary you don’t need any math at all, because the ball doesn’t move!
However, if you have a set of two balls orbiting each other you will always have to do math to calculate their position. I mean technically you could choose the reference frame that is rotating in sync with the balls. But still you need to do math to check that the centrifugal force, which is a real force coming from nowhere in this reference frame, exactly cancels out the gravitational pull between the two balls. Because rotating reference frames are not equivalent to each other!
- Comment on space 8 months ago:
Rotational reference frames are out though! (Unless you want to deal with magic forces acting on your masses)
And since the earth rotates around itself and the sun, and the sun rotates around the center of the galaxy, you will always have to deal with a moving target.
- Comment on space 8 months ago:
Actually for me the conclusion from my math was that it’s surprisingly possible to get millions of light years away from earth with just time travel. As such I consider the meme to be scientifically accurate.
Seeing earth as a lava planet or the primordial soup of life would be pretty sick!

Earth moves with somewhere between 230-500km/s, long term average should 370 km/s
…wikipedia.org/…/Formation_and_evolution_of_the_S…
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Earth
The solar system and earth formed 4.6 billion years ago.
numbat.dev/?q=370+km%2Fs+*+4.6+billion+years+->+l…
That means the solar system travelled 3.45-7.67 million light-years (5.45 for the average speed) since then.
That plural form (millions of light years) is borderline, but actually not incorrect.
