Water is also best used to smother a fire. Taking energy away is much less efficient than taking oxygen away.

Anyway, if you’re frying a lot and grease fires are a worry (bigger than you can smother with a lid), get a class K extinguisher for the kitchen. It turns your oil into soap, and soap doesn’t burn.

If it did it would be simple to train a healthy and truthful facts AI, you would simply train it off from the truthful and healthy facts.

Not how AI works. I mean, it’s technically possible to train an AI that only generates truth, but it would be so overfitted that it’s functionally no different from the search bar on Wikipedia.

Large language models need randomness to function. They cut up every true sentence in the training data into tiny tokens and reassemble them into… well, whatever arrangement of tokens satisfies the discriminator or the humans who grade the output. Discriminators can’t tell fact from fiction and the humans generally don’t care to.

Even if you valued truth above all else during the training and rejected every false statement you encounter, there’s no way you could judge the truth of every possible statement the system could ever produce. And with randomness most statements will be false, that’s simply the nature of truth.

He just got his daemon, there’s no way it already settled into its final shape.

Michael Vsauce has a solution for that last part: slap bracelets with the locations of things that were lost for centuries. Whenever you end up*, the bracelet has a couple things on there that are lost and could be found.

*) In the last couple centuries at least, the further back you go, the fewer things are lost.

Put a big wind-up key on the back for when it runs out.

Two cousins brothers in New York chasing the American Dream but getting caught up in organized crime? Let’s go bowling!

Checked the whole thread to see if the Eurovision train song was mentioned already. Chisinau - Bucharest!

Drowning isn’t peaceful. There’s ways of asphyxiation that are surprisingly peaceful, but drowning isn’t one of them, not even when done well.

But also, don’t die to escape from a job. You can escape normally. It’s usually really easy to do: they let you go home, just don’t come back. Go do literally anything else.

Well, despite what many Germans might think, chiropraxy is quackery. But stretching isn’t.

Is it biased to judge a video by its thumbnail, title and first few minutes? Especially if it’s a video of an hour that’s front loaded with fluff, I don’t have any reason to assume the rest of the hour will be worth my time. The longer the video, the more important it is to show you’re not just padding for length.

Finally got around to watching (half), and she does explain it and gets into some real interesting technical stuff, so I judged too soon.

I think she’s doing herself a disservice by opening with the dramatic reenactment though, because I bounced off on that, also on an earlier video. There’s not really a gradual buildup either, so someone who actually likes the drama will get a cold blast of RAM spec sheet right after and likely stop there. Better to let everyone know what they’re getting into at the start, right?

The title is objectively clickbait though, even if she does eventually explain the design flaw. But I think if she’s doing an hour on the history of RAM design, she could be honest about that.

This is probably a matter of taste, but I can’t sit through 58 minutes of slow buildup just to get to “ram has to refresh, that takes 300 nanoseconds sometimes, you could eliminate that at the hardware level by making all ram twice as expensive”

Thanks Laurie, but you don’t have to pretend all ram is fundamentally broken to make me watch an hour of maths and engineering. 3blue1brown does that all the time with titles like “What is a laplace transform?” and thumbnails of plain formulas on black backgrounds.

Can someone explain Laurie Wired to me? I see her in my recommendations sometimes, but I don’t click obvious clickbait.

Take this one, is it actually a design flaw or is it just a compromise that was made for good reasons and is kept around for those same reasons?

Maybe I’ll watch the video and report back, can always remove it from my watch history.

Edit: It’s an hour? Not like I won’t watch hour-long videos, but that’s a lot to figure out if it was clickbait or not.

There’s communities that see axe-murdering a colleague as cool and justified, so I’m not sure if they misunderstood one movie or rather life itself.

Travis Bickle is an antihero, technically, but antiheroes do good through evil means or for evil reasons. It’s hard to argue that Travis didn’t ultimately do something good. But it’s also clear that he could just as well have done something evil, like shoot up a pizza restaurant because of its supposed basement.

It’s about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles…

Should we put Xavier Renegade Angel on this list? I don’t think it really qualifies as dark humor, more absurdist humor, but he eats all those babies that one episode…

To get a similar experience in the exact opposite way: travel in a big group. In a group of 30 there’s usually someone who wants to join, and even if not, you don’t have to feel bad about breaking off and doing your own thing for a bit, because no one expects you to do everything together.

You still have the basic structure of the trip to get everyone together for a travel day and discuss your adventures during a long bus ride, so I think it’s really the best of both worlds.
