The “unknown story: couldn’t load this story” error is either amusingly or disturbingly recursive.

It’s so weird to me that human beings don’t seem to be capable of imagining thinking without feeling. If (huge, enormous, probably larger than the observable universe, if) an LLM were to become factually and indisputably conscious, why wo

Definitely more foil. Just keep adding foil till the voices stop. Or, you know, recognize that the voices are just you.

Sounds like you may need a fresh layer of foil.

Amongst the Jews it was public knowledge long, long before '43. By the time the camps started being liberated by the Soviets pretty much everyone knew something truly abominable was happening, they just didn’t know about the piles of h

To be fair, the bastards of today have learned a fair bit from the bastards of the past on what to avoid doing to look like a bastard.

Arguably it’s really only an English word once it deviates from the original spelling and meaning. Like how the original British English “Aluminum” is now the American English word for the metal represented by the newer British English “Alu

I’m enjoying the schadenfreude (note, the English word, not the German one) of watching this thread unspool.

Technically that’s a Latin word that just happens to have kept the same spelling and meaning in English.

Sure, mosquitoes have, historically, earned your ire, but now you’re blaming the pigeon, again, for a disease you’re just as or more likely to get from another, very likely human, source. Which is especially true when you realize that most

Most of those you have any realistic chance of catching from a wild bird you can also get — and are vastly more likely to get during your lifetime — via the fecal-oral route from another human. Indeed many of those are only a risk at all

You’re only surprised because you haven’t spent enough time watching pigeons. They’re beautiful birds, many past societies literally worshipped them, and they saved a lot of butts in both World Wars. They’ve fallen from grace because 20th c

Hmm, divers have known the dolphin kick for years (decades?) as a way to move underwater at speed, but you’re rarely near the surface or the bottom to have effects from the surface interfaces. Interesting.

You are able to, that’s a defining trait of being human… what you may not be capable of without a serious mind shift is applying yourself to that learning. The first step of that will be seriously lowering what you think of as decent mone

Go feed some pigeons. Seriously, just buy a bag of seed, go find some pigeons, and feed them. Now, watch them, carefully… see how hard they work, every day, even when they’re hobbling around on grotesque stumps where their feet used to be b

Here’s how that goes: 13:01 UTC: Pilot flying has heart attack. 13:02 UTC: So does pilot monitoring, after realizing he can’t move the throttle or put down the gear. Two people exist for redundancy… when one fails, the other IS the safety

Officially, now, it was the switches being moved to CUTOFF. They were put back to RUN in 10 seconds, after RAT deployment, with engine 1 spooling back up to thrust just before impact. Switches survived the fire damage in that position, so t

The Air Current is very reputable, at least, so expect the preliminary report — if it’s got any technical details at all beyond a timeline of the flight and incident, which it may well not do — to mention movement of the fuel switches, even

If PureWord in allows the user to replace “shit” by mapping it to “poop” then it allows that same user to map “poop” to “shit”, and by extension “black” to “[not going to write this word]” or “trans|gay|lesbian|jew|palestinian” to “[not goi

Would such an extension not allow me to replace neutral words with obscenities? Or, for example, skin color descriptions with my preferred racial epithets or gender-affirming language with anti-turning-the-frogs-gay tirades? I’d be more tha

Sure as shit not one I’m ever getting on. The whole point of a co-pilot is to make sure there’s a human in the loop of both critical jobs, pilot flying and pilot monitoring. AI can augment both positions, but it’s a considerably-more-self

Arguably it switched sides in November 2016… sure, it briefly tried to step back from the edge, but then in November 2024 it fully committed to jumping off.
