I disagree with the dichotomy presented. People who like a specific, niche culture aren't necessarily closed to other cultures, and people who like mainstream culture don't necessarily like most cultures and don't necessarily

I use Duckduckgo as my main engine and it works well for most of what I search, but for some specific things I have to use other search engines (Google for local results and "guess what I'm thinking" results, Yandex for rever

I like that option. You don't have to find something that would give a hard border between "conscious" and "unconscious" entities, nor claim qualia doesn't exist, nor claim a rock has a level of consciousness e

I wonder how close crocodilians were to being extinct after the K-Pg limit. If they did, they would be another non-dinosaur archosaurian group only known from fossils, like pterosaurs. Someone from such timeline would probably be delighted

Regarding the difficulty of expressing the differing distances of overlapping points in the isometric projection (the one that has four axis) and in the shadow projection. A common way to represent proximity in 3d in a 2d projection is to m

For a more serious, non-fiction take, I find this article by Nick Bostron on Information Hazards and their typology a quite interesting read too: https://nickbostrom.com/information-hazards.pdf

It is "mind-boggling" compared to the size of similar animals at the time. Half a meter might sound short, but I'd say it would be mind-boggling to find a half-meter long ant, spider or bee in a forest, for example. Not so bi

A sundial uses more than just angular rotation and orbits, though. You can't measure time with angular rotation alone. Using a sundial as a clock (by registering its cycles or by looking at it and remembering how many cycles it went th

This is mentioned in the article, it isn't a contradiction. You need both periodic phenomena and the generation of entropy for a clock to work. Consider what would happen if we used the earth's rotation as a clock, but without gen

It makes sense, doesn't it? The playing field has changed completely since the beginning of the pandemic. New variants are much more transmissible, more is known about the virus, and vaccines are widely available for the countries who

In a closed system, matter cannot be exchanged between the system and the surroundings, but energy can be exchanged (in form of work or heat). In an isolated system, neither matter nor energy can be exchanged [1]. Those are the definitions

I've always found those articles studying common student misconceptions and their causes interesting . There's quite a lot of physics publications dealing with phenomenological primitives and concepts learned in other disciplines

I like how unfocused article feels. With the videos, comments and interesting facts, it manages to replicate the experience of reading an article at the same time you're randomly browsing the internet and talking about it with your fri

If one country managed to win all the silver medals, while each of the other countries managed to get one gold medal each, which country got the best results at the Olympics? There isn't one perfect scoring system in this case, but dis

At least we can override UI redesign changes with userChrome.css and userContent.css. I'm sticking with Firefox as long as its problems have workarounds, because the only options left are Chromium and Safari (or forks like Librewolf),

Reminds me of Jean Baudrillard's progression of simulacra, starting from a faithful, sincere image of the events and ending in stage of pure simulacrum, having no relationship to any reality of the events

There are degrees of essentiality, though. A MLM salespeople strike would have a much smaller impact in our standard of living than a corn growers strike, for example.

At least Yandex seems to have gotten the gist of the question, and isn't full of clickbait, even if it doesn't answer the question (and seems to have mostly ignored the word "limbo") https://imgur.com/a&#

There's https://curlie.org , it even links to some old-style websites in its collection. I think there are some other sites with similar ideas too, where you can create groups and share bookmarks ( like https://g
