Is Musk's red car a spaceship btw? Because if we are able to send such stuff to space, other intelligent beings would most probably do the same. Or they are more intelligent?

So is it a spaceship or not?

Why is that in English speaking world a joke is almost always a pun?

Just look at the Java installer: What is Java? Java is everywhere!

I don't get the point. The article says that if you "somewhat" measure, then you lose "somewhat" from the wavelike nature. So the photon is a wave by X%, and a particle by 100-X%?

I had a similar feeling. But I think this is indeed a glimpse to the intrinsic structure of reality itself, not just a promise of seeing reality. Like we can have a blink of turnin…

Recording yourself is not a violation, only publishing on Youtube. Content generated with LLMs are not a violation. Publishing the content you generated might be.

Quotation is fair use in all sensible copyright system. An LLM will mostly be able to quote anything, and should be. Quotation is not derived work. LLMs are not stealing copyrighte…

I'm so tired of the enforced password changes, that I just write them on a post-it note now.

A face impression would be very distorted when moving from a 3D face to a 2D sheet. So it is not an impression.

Yes, the wikipedia article makes an argumentation error. Even if the Pray Codex doesn't show the shroud, it contains a very unique depiction of a nude Jesus. So the painter of the …

The C14 dating is one evidence, and there are plenty of contradicting evidence for the 14th century dating. But my main point is that there is at least doubt for the 14th date, and…

The best explanation to what the codex depicts, is the shroud. Which could be a copy of an older shroud e.g., but the C14 dating has its flaws (burnt material etc.).

The 14th century theorem has long been debunked, as the Pray-codex https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pray_Codex contains strong evidence that the shroud was already known in the 12th…

Bulgarian made, through a one-person trade intermediary for a Taiwanese company. The Bulgarian co is owned by a Norwegian btw.

I have many accounts with the same user names, and they don't get overwritten. There might be some design flaw somewhere, but it's surely not what the article states, ie. that you …

All the cancers were diagnosed between 2000-2019 and they didn't check the incidence by year but by birth date of victims. So the testing should not affect, unless diagnostic proce…

But JS Bach apparently did love those modern sounds, see BWV 542/I But indeed it doesn't make much sense to apply jazz theory on classical or early music.

Depressed, stressed, anxious - these are temporary or treatable conditions. The diversity is for innate and permanent traits.
