    That video helps explain one property one of the UFO videos (the rotation) but doesn't explain the rest. Doesn't explain the Tic Tac videos. It does not explain why these were obse…

    Could you help me understand what it means to "pump entropy out of a system"? I asked ChatGPT and it claims "It is generally not possible to "pump" entropy out of a system in the s…

    I signed up for their service, was assigned a virtual agent. I did some background check on the person assigned to me and found she had stolen cc details & funds from a customer of…

    I also have this issue. Have noticed it often happens when interacting in an external screen.

    False. Energetic costs of distributing duplicate information is significantly more expensive than local computation. Eg: measuring joules spent for decompression vs transmission is…

    I used to do the same. Told my mom to buy that ticket, and explained to her she was wrong. And that made her sad to realize. She buys the tickets because she enjoys the pleasure of…

    Let's say someone decides to just take their grapes (Cotton Candy Grapes) and grow them in their farm and sell it as "Popsicle Candy". At that point the company that originally bre…

    Wait what?! I’ve got so many questions. How exactly does a Taxi driver coordinate with guards? At what point did you discover the scheme? You were nearly blackmailed and just threw…

    This is not the real price of oil. It's just a long squeeze -- an unfortunate side effect of the USO ETF as its rolling its holdings into the next futures contract. See: https://ww…

    Why would they do that? They don't need to send the data through the kernel, they can just IPC it to the process and use the existing telemetry stack. Also, what gives you panic he…
