When I was in school (USA), any attempt to stand up to bullies was punished immediately. Administrators and teachers made it very clear in no uncertain terms that bringing problems to them would result in either punishment or apathy. Essent

Is the "clerk" scanning the books an digitizing them to generate other products using an LLM under the guise of "Answering Questions?" I believe this is the question being asked. Companies like Amazon and Google have som

I've been tempted to make a little electronic boom box for my Mom. Just a box similar to the stereos in cars that play MP3s with FAT32 USB drives. Then I would put her favorite music on various drives that she could plug in whenever sh

I think the objections with AI will change based on the quality of the AI generated work. What people don't want is to wade through a million gallons of poorly generated slop to see one good movie. They also don't want to have to

At very high pressures, helium is actually the opposite of a narcotic. This is why it is introduced in Trimix for deep dives. It kind of offsets the narcotic effect of the high pressure oxygen. However it can also cause trembling if there i

Erotic asphyxiation is way different from intermittent hypoxia. Typically erotic asphyxiation is cutting off the flow of blood to the brain by constricting the veins and/or arteries in the neck. Intermittent hypoxia in the case of dive

Generally, you don't get hypoxic while using a clogged respirator. The problem in such cases is mild hypercapnia and increased work of breathing (Respiratory loading). Hypercapnia in general can cause short term cognitive issues but no

I prefer the Buddhist interpretation of self. There isn't really a singular you. We are all interdependent beings. A four plus dimensional tree reaching back to the start of time. The "you" that you're experiencing right

I wouldn't mind if cars were so expensive only the top 2-5% of earners could afford them, but we need viable alternatives to driving. We have dismantled our transportation infrastructure at the pleasure of car companies. Now you have d

This makes me wonder if we could invent a constructed language that can be used by both cats and people. If people learned how to speak such a language, could they teach some of the basic vocabulary to cats too? I imagine it would be a pret

Why? I've heard pretty good things about Framework laptops running perfectly with factory installed operating systems. Also the Steam deck seems to work better than my Windows laptop. A lot of the issues that Linux users run into these

I usually keep two 5 pound ABC dry chemical extinguishers and a fire blanket in my house. They will put out a LOT of fire. People make the mistake of buying way too little extinguisher and not knowing how to use them. My brother put out a w

We're starting to see more and more reports about this occurring on Windows 11. Especially in the VR community. Windows has pushed a ton of updates that break or even brick drivers. Also I've seen games have to be modified to run

The short answer is nitrate poisoning. It usually happens in infants before it hits adults. The reduction in water volume in the aquifer is reducing the dilution of existing nitrate contamination from agriculture. From the article: > Mor

Because, it is much easier to buy a cheap 230V AC inverter and plug it into your server power supply than it is to make a bespoke power supply that takes 12V and distributes it to various components. Inverters are stupid cheap right now, an

Their argument is that, when you try to make value judgements on human life using some mystical single element, you are failing at the first hurdle. Just like MLK said, judge men based on the content of their character, not on the basis of
