1·1 day agoSkipping up to three mensurations has been tested and found to be safe. They called it a tri-cycle
More isn’t unsafe, just unknown to science

1·1 day ago30% of the workforce world be looking for new jobs if/when self driving becomes reliable enough to run taxis, buses, trucks
I see a future where we have to teach emergency services drivers the basics of driving

2·1 day agoWe got told to add pronunciation for our names and that M$’ AI could help us work one out
Following the link and entering the exact prompt they suggested caused the LLM to reset and do nothing
Asking again it gave me my exact name back again as the pronunciation
You missed the apostrophe in 'til
Demand changes what is available. My local men’s fashion place now sells Hawaiian shirts made of natural fibres. Cotton underwear has always been available
Now I can easily get my brightly coloured clothes in reasonable fibres I’ll have nothing that loses micro plastics on me today
Though I may ride my bike and bike tyres have the same problems as car tyres though they wear much less
Socks are built to lowest cost. If you want good socks, get wool or cotton from a small company
Lower quality? Modern houses here (Canberra, Australia) typically have all the energy stars (compared to my '70s place’s half a star), are much larger and are proof against termites
A 2026 house beats mine in every respect
Sometimes documentation doesn’t help. My workplace used to be waterfall and we still have systems analysts producing documentation
One piece of work came to my team as “this calculation fails in this case and we can’t tell why”
Looking at it there were two updates in the documentation showing updates ten years ago the first fixing that corner case with the second fixing a side effect of the fix
Why didn’t it work? It was never built, or perhaps built but never merged
On the good side we have an excellent plan for how to fix that corner case, on the bad side we aren’t funded to do that amount of work so we have to half arse a solution
Sorry, you were hired as a prompt engineer, your prompt wasn’t good enough to make perfect code, so you are fired
I don’t consider paint to be food
Presuming you don’t play Palladium fantasy, since no one does, you could steal this critter
Corpse creature
Lies in ruins looking like a week old corpse, wearing something obvious and valuable, such as a gold pendant
When someone tries to remove the valuable the corpse creature grabs them strongly by the neck and strangles them
The corpse creature doesn’t collect loot, doesn’t eat their kills, it’s just out to bait and murder
In the Palladium system it has a strength of 23, you’d probably want to make it moderately powerful but only on its first attack
If a group approaches it’ll keep playing dead, it only attacks lone individuals
Precision is about how fine a scale you can use to describe the position; what you described is repeatability
A clock with a sweep arm is more precise than one without
A digital clock showing fractions of a second is more precise
An atomic clock is even more precise
My nice precise long case chiming clock is precise to about the half minute, but it gains time when the weather becomes colder and loses time when weather becomes warmer, so it has poor repeatability. Its accuracy is good enough as I correct and tune it weekly when I wind it
My wife’s cuckoo clock is low precision with only 12 marks on it’s face and each of those being blunt and a few minutes wide, it also only sounds half hourly, tweeting the hour or once on the half hour
There’s no accounting for taste. No one’s choice of entertainment is wrong. Differences are part of the nature of humanity
If you want to not look like a dick you can say things like “I don’t find those sorts of things funny” and fewer people will find that offensive
Saying “I don’t want to be X” while being X isn’t convincing regarding your intention
Giant brands are not interesting
Personally I find nutella the worst food that comes in a jar
Coincidentally Universe Today addressed this in their recent question show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/SiGmJkeCPl8?t=59m51s just before the 60 minute mark
It makes sense that your reference is a science fiction show
Consider supermassive black holes. They are the largest entities in the universe and they exist in nearly every galaxy. They aren’t going to get appreciably bigger, if they aren’t big enough to bang, what is?
Then by what mechanism do you propose an incredibly deep gravity well could spit out bulk stuff?
I’m taking the null hypothesis, you’re the one with a claim to prove













Shame he didn’t know about lever machines
