  • Lower quality? Modern houses here (Canberra, Australia) typically have all the energy stars (compared to my '70s place's half a star), are much larger and are proof against termites

    A 2026 house beats mine in every respect

  • Sometimes documentation doesn't help. My workplace used to be waterfall and we still have systems analysts producing documentation

    One piece of work came to my team as "this calculation fails in this case and we can't tell why"

    Looking at it there were two updates in the documentation showing updates ten years ago the first fixing that corner case with the second fixing a side effect of the fix

    Why didn't it work? It was never built, or perhaps built but never merged

    On the good side we have an excellent plan for how to fix that corner case, on the bad side we aren't funded to do that amount of work so we have to half arse a solution

  • Sorry, you were hired as a prompt engineer, your prompt wasn't good enough to make perfect code, so you are fired

  • Precision is about how fine a scale you can use to describe the position; what you described is repeatability

    A clock with a sweep arm is more precise than one without

    A digital clock showing fractions of a second is more precise

    An atomic clock is even more precise

    My nice precise long case chiming clock is precise to about the half minute, but it gains time when the weather becomes colder and loses time when weather becomes warmer, so it has poor repeatability. Its accuracy is good enough as I correct and tune it weekly when I wind it

    My wife's cuckoo clock is low precision with only 12 marks on it's face and each of those being blunt and a few minutes wide, it also only sounds half hourly, tweeting the hour or once on the half hour

  • There's no accounting for taste. No one's choice of entertainment is wrong. Differences are part of the nature of humanity

    If you want to not look like a dick you can say things like "I don't find those sorts of things funny" and fewer people will find that offensive

    Saying "I don't want to be X" while being X isn't convincing regarding your intention

  • Consider supermassive black holes. They are the largest entities in the universe and they exist in nearly every galaxy. They aren't going to get appreciably bigger, if they aren't big enough to bang, what is?

    Then by what mechanism do you propose an incredibly deep gravity well could spit out bulk stuff?

    I'm taking the null hypothesis, you're the one with a claim to prove

  • The word I used was "supported by" the ISS does not have wings and does not have a buoyancy system, they are falling

    The plane is riding on wings you can tell it is not falling because you feel your full weight when riding one

  • I don't think you could exhaust the waste heat of a civilisation in a black hole. Perhaps a civilisation living in computers could, but not a biological one

  • I wasn't talking about need or ability, only exposing themselves to extra risk, failing to discover important discoveries because they don't explore ideas. I'm sure I wasn't perfectly clear.

  • Try not eating as much sugar. I haven't had heartburn since I went zerocarb*, though I suggested from that pretty badly on my previous diet

    not actually zero carb, just really really low carb, zero fibre.

  • The centripetal force is provided by your legs (and the spokes of the centrifuge)

    You're looking for inertia or the fictitious force (which makes the calculations easier): centrifugal acceleration
