See: Plato's Cave analogy / John Locke discussing qualia, etc., for why these extra dimensions are so inaccessible to us without the aid of the advanced tools available to the scientists at places like CERN. :) We know space isn't Euclidean. The revelation that our experienced reality isn't...

"Other dimension" doesn't mean "parallel universe" in this sense. I'm talking about spatial dimensions. Many theories of physics, most famously string theory, propose more than 3 spatial dimensions to our physical universe. String theory says there are as many as 10 spatial dimensions here...

There would definitely be "Bush did 9/11" style memes... "Yoda did Order 66" or whatever... Bouncing around from vidscreen to vidscreen for at least the next 20 years after the fall of the High Republic. Just like here on Earth, even tho less than half the US population used the internet in...

The ignore feature isn't thread-specific.... Many people who post nudes in FSR are fine posters. Blocking them everywhere just so the FSR thread is actually just Funny, Strange, and Random pics like the title says does not seem like the ideal solution.

Tho I had the same habit when I was an atheist. So maybe that's not the whole story. The Golden Rule is the best moral tool we have, even in a secular world. Y'know?

I'm a Christian and desire eternal life.

Do random pictures with no context count as memes? Doesn't a meme need... Information? No idea who those people are.

My most recent loss -- not sure if it was OD or suicide but he was smart so idk if OD makes sense -- passed on Christmas Day. Not an "IRL" friend but an internet friend I've known for over a decade.

Not the thread for jokes...

https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/do-electrons-spin The "faster than light spin" problem might be explainable by the electron literally extending into a different dimension. Probably a fractional dimension (see recent papers about the fractal dimension of electrons) which would also explain...

https://scitechdaily.com/u-s-rhic-atom-smasher-reveals-a-surprising-preference-in-particle-spin-alignment/ This is pretty interesting.

Most of my adult life I have made a point of befriending drug users, poor people, mentally ill people, etc.... Can't even count the number of friends I've lost to suicide on both hands at this point. Might be able to count them if I used toes too but I really don't want to build that list. =\...

Necro bump because I don't like the porn in the FSR thread when I'm just trying to have a laugh.

Lots of people here already know my real name, honestly. Was pretty open with it when I was fundraising back when I was going through chemo. Tho I never took the link out of the Health Problems thread in the Grown Up Stuff forum, so I suppose the trolls maybe didn't learn it then. 🤔

The model would need to be pretty different, more deterministic, but yeah that's where we are headed. Someday AI will beat teachers when it comes to teaching STEM, grammar, economics... Lots of stuff.

Long as the bots can't sniff it.

Assuming a computer literate, English-as-a-first-language speaker like myself can bust out these tasks 2-3x as fast as the average turker, not bad

I've been trying to find something I can do to work from home and make some cash. The pay looks atrocious for the basic tasks, but the advanced tasks (that you need to qualify for somehow, not everyone can do the advanced tasks at first). Seems like it might be decent money compared to the...

It surprised me but the Farscape subreddit has a post about once or twice a week from someone that says they're just now watching the show for the first time. I think maybe because they recently changed to a free streaming service.

I hate that they don't use steady cam for "still" shots :| giving me a headache today as I watch this most recent episode.

Okay that makes a lot more sense. I saw an article about someone that went to ChatGPT's US headquarters and it sounded like they didn't actually employ that many people. Outsourcing tho, duh. I should have realized.

Often don't even need to open a new session. Just click the Edit button and resubmit the same response until it accepts it. It works so well that I swear they programmed it in as a back door. Edit -- Lmao still replying before I read other comments. Didn't think anyone else picked up on it...

Edit -- nvm reading thread out of order.

This. Takes a single click of the mouse for a curator to lead the model. All they have to do is quickly read the prompt and say "wait a minute that's a euphemism not a literal statement" or whatever, stuff that might confuse the model. They absolutely don't employ enough people to do it for...

I read a long article about a person who worked for a real estate company that was using AI to text people. Sometimes when the AI got confused, a human operator would need to look at the options the AI is considering and pick the best one. That company did literally have people writing...

Not something I would do without her permission. Does that make me less like Rajaah? I honestly don't remember his stories lol

I have a feeling that they have people on hand that curate questionable responses. Sometimes things that would usually cause an orange content warning end up having a loooooong pause and then go to red content warning / totally blocking the response. The hesitancy makes me feel like it's a...

Yeah the internet likes to highlight extreme examples. Why would anyone bother uploading a video of a bunch of people getting the answers right? They'd get no views.

Brother I can tell you a lot about Pearl Harbor, and I barely paid attention to that in school. You are really underestimating people. 19 years is a very short time when it comes to cultural knowledge.

In the absence of any other way to pick names from that list, it might be cool to involve servers.... Like, for a Necromancer item, maybe pick the name of the necro that won the BOTB on Innoruuk. For a Druid item pick the DRU that won the BOTB on Tunare. Etc.

Fantasy / sci-fi show recommendations would be cool too, but I am extremely picky there even tho they're my favorite genres. Seen most of the "big" ones already.

Yeah Counterpart was great. Black Sails was too. I have actually mostly been working though HBO shows I haven't seen, I think I'll try some stuff from that lostm

There are 19 years between episode 3 and episode 4. The Twin Towers fell 21 years ago. Pretty sure they would ALL remember the fall of the Republic...

You guys are mean. :'(

That.... Makes no sense. The Jedi High Council of the Republic is in living memory of many of the characters in A New Hope. Does Gilroy think people just like... Stopped talking about recent history?

I think they're supposed to sound naive. The show is trying to show the dark side of the Rebellion, in a way. And demonstrate that all the idealism in the world is no substitute for action.

Pretty massive list here. EverQuest Hall of Fame Idk if it lists the interserver BOTB winners (big list and I'm lazy lol, haven't scrolled through it much) but if it doesn't have that it at least has the winners from each server. Some of the championship BOTB matches are on YouTube. Found...

Pandering at its finest. Just texture swap an existing model, and watch the money roll in. Smart.
