Bring this rock close to this other rock, and voilà. It creates magic heat!

Don't get too close, because it will curse you to an agonizing death years later. However you can use this to boil water and channel the power of thunderstorms.

I'd like to see the triangle grow two additional sides, becoming a 3-sided pyramid. Then, a fourth pops up, turning into a typical 4 sided one. But then, a fifth appears, then a sixth, then more and more untill it becomes a food cone

Then it flips over and gets filled with ice cream. There, the perfect food pyramid!

Meta’s unwillingness to be transparent or accountable with the performance issues and glitches is causing mass uncertainty.

That's exactly what drove most of us from the platform. Apologists were telling me that it's just because we are not paying customers.

Interesting to notice that the company acts the same way with its real paying customers!

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the mindset of companies in their private interactions is the same as their public interactions with users.

What happens to elements with powers of x above 3? Say we multiply the example vector above with itself. We would end up with a component d^2^x^6^, witch is not part of the P3R vector space, right?

Do we need a special multiplication rule to handle powers of x above 3?
I've worked with quaternions before, which has " special" multiplication rules by defining i j and k.

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book.
With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there's even more copying going on.
It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

In fact Alberta researchers have recommended a tougher traffic light system for geothermal projects than the one currently regulating fracking. It would trigger a major evaluation of operations when 1.5 magnitudes occur and shut down the operation at 3.5 magnitude with the goal of keeping all tremors at low magnitude.

When it's not oil-related, regulations are tougher?

Framing it as an environmental problem always implicitly assumed that people understood we need a good environment to be healthy...

People complain about bonfire restrictions in my city, but when I show my air quality sensor data and the effect it has on breathing and sports performance, they tend to be more open minded.

Isolated for six months, scientists in Antarctica began to develop their own accent ( www.bbc.com )

they were taking part in an unusual experiment, which involved tracking their own voices over time. This was done by making 10-minute recordings every few weeks. They would sit in front of a microphone and repeat the same 29 words as they appeared on a computer screen. Food. Coffee. Hid. Airflow....

Honestly, it's a really nice piece! I should've waited until I was fully awake before posting 😞

It made me think about that porm "rhyme of the old mariner", where sailors were stuck on a calm sea (no wind at all, I'm not sure what's the real sailing term for that).

I don't remember the full details, but a guy killed an albatross and got cursed for that. They hung the albatross around his neck as a sign of the curse.

Thus, bird + dead ship made me think of that story!

Yeah. Entropy increases in a closed system, but we keep receiving low-entropy energy from the sun.

By this argument, sustainable energy is solar powered.

Here we go again... The web, which is what most people think about when saying "internet", is an European invention.

So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that "web 2.0" was invented by American companies.

Internet is 70% American?

I'm always interested in the comparison with programmers who want to start from scratch to make it better, only to make it just as bad as before, but after spending a lot of efforts.

Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It ( www.wired.com )

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

@i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml avatar

I don't know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to "match" at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

If "face generation from DNA" is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the "average person", the more likely you would fit the generated face.

Doesn't it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

If the local language is Cantonese, but the government is forcing to use Mandarin in law and other official businesses, to me it sounds the same as forcing Ukrainians to speak Russian (in the old USSR), Catalans to speak Spanish, and French Canadian to speak English. It's soft cultural assimilation.

I don't know much about the local language usage in HK, so i could be wrong though.

Cops ripped for arresting reporter trying to ask Chrystia Freeland questions ( torontosun.com )

Y'know, assault is generally defined as causing a person to fear for their safety. What these cops were doing was absolutely assault, bumping into someone's shoulder is not. Plus it kinda looks like a football play the aide, Freeland and the cop were playing.

According to a source article in French, the phrase is not "totally forbidden" and can be used in an acceptable context, as judged by the parliament's president (who's role is mostly to act as a moderator for the debates)...

They claimed that it was forbidden because the context implied that the government was exploiting women, which is seen as assigning negative intentions to other MPs...

It's still fucking weird and borderlines on censure! Technically, it does not prevent talking about a ICRC report on women exploitation, but I feel like it could have a chilling effect.
