Sure. Many pines can survive forest fires. But some other trees don't or are short lived anyway. I never suggested trees live forever. But 100 years is not a long time for many.

It's the asymmetry at play. It takes a few minutes to fell a tree. While it takes decades to grow. To grow an actually fully grown 100 year old tree is a multigenerational project.…

Well, because of this outage, I tried Kimi, and while the instant model works, K3 has "server issue". Eternal September from here on, ie now the masses are using AI as much as me a…

I at least can see English translated version of NHK here https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/live_tv/

Many years ago had my first Gopro camera that seriously overheated, sent it for repairs, they said there was nothing wrong with it. It literally turned too hot to handle after taki…

I use AI myself so I definitely know how it tends to write. When I encounter that kind of writing somewhere, I initially give it the benefit of the doubt and continue a bit. But wh…

One can try putting themselves sometimes in the position of an old person. Let's say you have a heavy steel rollator with grocery bags hanging from the handles. You've spent an hou…

I think it's an accurate description of a common way of thinking, though I wouldn't call it conservative in the global sense. Another is some of the domestic manufacturing or hard …

It still seems to me designing applications or web services is so hard that it's just easier to hire thousands of people to do customer service and having people to come physically…

A physicist can fill in but there might be some stuff made out of subatomic particles for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotic_matter

I see two really good ideas for monetizing the free tier for consumers. Firstly, if the user is asking for things where AI can link to products or services to buy, there's a very g…

Ramjets were developed right after the second world war and Mach 4+ was reached in the fifites. It's complicated but not extremely. See Antonio Ferri or Lockheed X-7. It turned out…

Me-109 was similar

But they travel at 8 km/s so actually that cancels benefits? EDIT: checked, not enough to cancel them completely.

Hmm one would expect heat expansion to change the length of fiber over tens of kilometers. Does it also affect light speed in the fiber? I think consumer fiber is not buried very d…

I think there's also some exaggerations about the differing highway landing capabilities of various aircraft. [1] is a video showing Eurofighter, F/A-18 and F-35 all landing on a h…

As a native non Indo European language speaker, aware of the many differences to Indo European languages, it is noteworthy that this however is similar in both. Oikea ja vasen, rig…
