Fair enough lol, lost in the medium of text I think. "Fuck" is funnily enough one of if not the most adaptive english words.

I'm not worried about kids, and I don't care about sex, I'm making a point that this has been arbitrarily sexualised for no reason. Obviously you wouldn't give it that label by default, so what is the author trying to do

It's a fucking pleading face and they made it about sexual roles for no good reason... It's stupid.

by tomxor 4y ago
That's kind of weird to label it based on sexual roles by default. How would they go about explaining that label to a child? How about puss in boots face?

Because I loathe captcha, I make sure that every time I am presented one I sneak in an incorrect answer just to fuck with the model I'm training for free. Garbage in, garbage out.

It's because of safari. Same problem used to be with IE where computers/OS were stuck with a specific version. Now the world has moved onto evergreen browsers which are no pinned to OS versions (except for Apple).

Yes, I actually kind of get the infinite part, but thanks for the explanation it's interesting. I was wondering what the intensity looks like for a distance field around a finite plane and how that relates. This might be harder to de

Yes, I understand that. I'm wondering separately (in a vacuum if you will), what the falloff looks like with a finite plane, and how that relates to the infinite version. Obviously we cannot actually represent the wall as an infinite p

Hmm, 3 mSv is supposed to be the average annual background radiation absorption for humans [0], that's roughly 0.000342 mSv/h. Which would make 11.37 mSv/h 33245 times greater. At the other end of the scale the minimum annu

That is unintuitive, but then is my mistake only in representing the wall as an infinite plane? Would my parent comment still be true for a finite plane, or is that merely technically true but missing the point of the function shape being

Good point. Even attempting to seal it off from the tunnel seems futile considering how much disturbance to air pressure a passing train will cause.

That's most likely the reason they are still there, because of how much more hazardous it would be to attempt to remove them. Then again there are well practiced methods for removing sources of similarly hazardous air-bourn particulate

They are using different and not directly convertible units. Roentgen (R) used by the instrument only measures exposure, but this is not the same as absorption which depends on the type of radiation, the type of biological tissue exposed, t

Sure, if it's simple to horizontally scale your service. But unless it's a simple static site it's usually not, and it's usually a source of a lot of complexity and pain. Which unless you really are doing something twitt

One word of caution: The smallest VPS are also the most unreliable in my experience. If that's a requirement of your low compute project, it may make sense to massively over provision with either a more expensive VPS or dedicated serve

I believe theft still falls under liability AKA "3rd party" _if_ it causes damage to others. "Theft" as an insurance type compensates the owner which is optional.

I know. It's a thought experiment to show that even in unrealistically optimistic conditions, technology is still not sufficient to solve the problem. I intentionally ignored the societal component of adoption for this reason, showing

> We certainly need decentralized systems that cannot be controlled by EU, US, or any government/entity. I used to think this way, and still do to a degree... but it's not enough. The idea of zero trust as an absolute is flawed

Yeah, uhm, I don't trust it. Please stop joining important things to giant mystery machines, it's extremely annoying to watch.
