Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…

but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.

Mac owners have money? more like had money

well, with 2 trolleys it is the same amount of suffering as with 1

LEGI

the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the “eat fat-free food and you will be thin” solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

snowballing

yeah, it is not snowballing, it is Network Effect. for the people who want to use a twitter-like social network, the value is in the many other people using it.

but, as you are doing, telling people to leave is the correct move. because for every person that the network loses, the network loses value for everyone (the network effect going in reverse)

that is true, we had to change administrators one time and it was not an easy process. my comment was mostly that the blanket statement of “politics in an apartment complex are worse that an HOA” is not true, it depends on the building and the HOA

Having lived both in buildings where my family owned one apartment, and houses where there was an HOA, i can tell you that the politics of the apartment building was not even close to how insne an HOA is. it was mostly taking about the budget, prioritizing repairs, and security

Water is almost 90% oxygen by mass. It is over for OP

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US’ largest, busiest, and most important city.

legit, if youtube ever beats ublock origin, i’ll just stop watching youtube

oh, i understand why he was disqualified. but like you, it doesn’t make any sense as to why he would lie. i guess you can trust a brain worm to fill a form accurately?

i still don’t get it. it is not like you need to reside in NY to be able to appear in the NY presidential ballot

Reddit would probably ban “paywall evasion” subreddits. They have shown that they have no problem shitting on their more loyal users with the while taking control of subreddits that were protesting

I swear that the only job that can be replaced with an LLM is CEO. The output will be equally shitty, but it would cost a lot less…

Phillip is Dick (surname)

Milei is a dick (asshole)

They will try to sell it to you as a way to detect any possible health issues early. But it will just be used to analyze you food patterns to shove mcdonalds ads

I think that the dot com bubble is the closest, honestly. There can be some kind of useful products (mostly dealing with how we interact with a system, not actually trying to use AI to magically solve a problem; it is shit at that), but the hype is way too large

Wow, what are the chances! Our president is also a dick

wait, so people vanishing creates a vacuum explosion that only leaves behind a cave as evidence?
