He/Him Jack of all trades, master of none

  • Redditors when they see a woman

  • The important thing is that every site is misprofiling you the same way, which doesn't actually help you. Your fingerprint just has a distinctive scar across it

  • Yeah, it's about as effective as ending every comment with "I do not consent to my comments being used to train AI data sets"

  • Cody's Lab. A lot of channels do cool shit for their youtube channel, and it feels like Cody has a youtube channel for the cool shit he's already doing. Like, vacuuming out a chicken coop. Check out how he does it without dirtying the filter on his shop vac. Or an infinite pickle jar. With a couple design modifications, that could legit be a marketable product.

    Also Know Art. I can't even imagine the effort it takes to make the 3d models he uses to explain things, but damn if I don't know a hell of a lot more about telescoping mechanisms and drills and buttons and phones and staplers and saws and like a million other things because of their amazing channel

  • I mean they said "unless you're using stuff that's supremely sketchy and also installing things you shouldn't be"

  • They don't have him reading scripts at random. He's Hank "Creator of Sci Show" Green. He lends an air of credibility to the channel, and the fact that they got their story about knitting so incredibly wrong damages the credibility of both him and the channel.

  • Been a minute since I watched it, but essentially Scishow did an episode about the science of knitting (and other forms of fabric crafting, which they did not adequately distinguish between) without consulting a single person who knits. It came off as really dismissive of the craft, like it's somehow super surprising that knitting is actually interesting.

    I'll update this comment with a better explanation after work, check back in 12 hours

  • Two things are true: one, the "I appreciate the pushback" line was regarding his guest, not a leftover AI thing. Two, this is still strikes 2 and 3 for me. Been wary of him ever since the knitting debacle, and AI use is a bridge too far

  • When the class action lawsuit comes up, there will be dozens of us who didn't accept a forced abitration clause

  • I earned my first perma by saying Ann Coulter is a racist, and the account I made to bypass that ban got banned because I illegally used sarcasm while criticizing SCOTUS. Their moderation bots have the site so locked down that you can't even have a normal conversation, and they're surprised that they're losing visitors lmfao

  • People like this make $60,000 a year fml

  • Like Chris Nolan. Has his name attached to a couple good things and now he's treated like King Midas

  • sadge

    Jump
  • How do I apply for the list

  • The Venn diagram of Americans who use Lemmy and Americans who voted for Trump is just two separate circles

  • I hope whoever enabled autoplay on that website loses their favorite pair of socks

  • I mean virtual machines can be sandboxed to not allow internet connections, and there are ways of working around that sandboxing from inside the vm. I'm still torn between "OpenAI faked this felony to make their software seem more capable than it is" and "OpenAI has legitimately committed a felony and needs to be held accountable"

  • Still violates the laws of physics

    You and I are in two conventional spaceships traveling at 0.86c relative to each other. In my reference frame, you are traveling through time at half the rate I am. This is due to time dilation, not speed of light delay. After I experience one year on my ship, you will have experienced 6 months on your ship. In your reference frame, the opposite is true. After you experience one year on your ship, I will have experienced 6 months on my ship. This violates no laws of physics, because even though there is no universal "present," the limited speed of light ensures that causality is maintained.

    Both of our ships have away shuttles with Alcubierre drives. These away shuttles can move arbitrarily fast, far in excess of the speed of light, without ever leaving their parent ship's reference frame.

    After 60 years, my ship has a cyclospirosis outbreak because someone didn't wash their hands. The last pilot not suffering from explosive diarrhea hops in our away ship and instantaneously warps some distance in front of your ship (reminder: in my reference frame, you have only aged 30 years). He sends you a message explaining the situation. This message reaches you after you've only aged 30 years.

    Swapping to your reference frame now. Causality must be preserved, so since you received that message after 30 years in my reference frame, you must receive that message after 30 years in your own. But in your reference frame, after 30 years of passed, my clock is only at 15 years. You decide to send your own away shuttle to warn us about this future outbreak. Your away shuttle arrives arbitrarily fast, sending us a message about a future cyclospirosis outbreak that arrives 45 years before that outbreak happens.

    You can dress your FTL technology in whatever sci-fi snake oil you want. If you can get information to a destination faster than a photon could, you can break causality.

  • I feel like you don't need much critical thought to find it unfair that an entity would create you for the sole purpose of torturing you for eternity (Romans 9:19-21), or that the mass killing of women, children, and animals is unambiguously evil (1 Samuel 15:3) or that we shouldn't kill people for working on Sunday (Exodus 35:2)
