They mean both I believe since the physical properties of the universe are what would presumably drive its expansion, and this expansion results in the cosmological objects in the universe getting farther apart. Actually more than that, it was previously thought that they are accelerating apart, so they would be moving apart at ever increasing speed. However this new data is being presented as evidence that the expansion of the universe is actually slowing down. Still moving apart but at an ever slower rate.

Coming right up

Ooo thanks I haven’t seen this one yet! Angela Collier doesn’t miss. Her video on vibe physics was great if you like her dunks, and her actual physics videos are really informative.

I’ve flown an rc plane higher rofl

I laughed at the fact that I didn’t remember who Brian Thompson is but I remember Luigi

The video makes it look like the left engine failed catastrophically, and then the smoke or parts falling off of that engine were sucked in by the middle engine causing that engine to lose thrust.

According to the linked CBS article, it was loaded with about 38,000 gallons (172,751 liters) of fuel which if the density of the fuel I used was correct then that’s about 118,000kg (oddly quite a bit off of the ~106,000kg that CBS reported). Add in the empty weight of an MD-11 of 125,870kg and that’s 243,870kg or about 42,000kg shy of the maximum takeoff weight of the MD-11 of 286,000kg. With 20,000 packages on board this thing could’ve been very close its maximum takeoff weight. It should be able to climb with a single engine failure and no other failures at its maximum takeoff weight, but if the middle engine did lose thrust too then there wasn’t anything the crew could’ve done to save themselves or the plane once they made the decision to takeoff.

maybe ever

It better fucking not be or we’re cooked

But it also isn’t just any city but the city that has historically declared it’s self the center of world trade. The NYSE is there, the WTC is there, the free market economy has been centrally planned in NYC for over a century. It’s an important symbolic victory, even if it is mostly just a symbolic one.

Pretty cute ngl

Rutte: “Daddy they’re writing mean things about me! Do something!”

was funny watching a guy dressed as a garbage bin and a cat girl pick up trash

Awwww this is so cute

Very good point, framing image processing or sensor fusion as AI under the same category of LLMs seems dishonest. The former are used as parts of tools to do a single specific task (biometric security, water quality analysis, speech prediction, etc.) and are usually pretty resource efficient and useful. They are not the general purpose AI that LLMs are sold as.

I thought this was about not interacting with LLMs and was about to rant about how easy it is to not interact with them for weeks alone 2 measely days smh

I think this might’ve been a misreading of the email. It looks to me like there was an email to the kde dev asking why kde stopped posting to their X account with concern that they wouldn’t get the hype that DHH and the ladybird browser get by reposting their mastodon Posts to X. The kde dev then responds with the text in the body of this post.

Maybe I’m not reading it correctly but it looks like the quoted text being responded to is praising dhh, not the kde dev in the message quoted in the post body right?

This time I’ll be working on the railroad instead of exploited Chinese immigrants running from the imperialist opium wars.

Modern war is dedicated by production capacity and technological mastery, not by individual valor

Where do they get the impression that the US has what takes in terms of individual valor either? We haven’t fought a war against a near peer with our own troops since WW2. US soldiers can be bloodthirsty and cruel, but where have they had valor? Didn’t American troops run from the bloodshed in Ukraine with their tails between their legs or did my memory make that up? (I’m actually seriously asking that question as I don’t remember if I read that in an article with sources or just a comment here sometime.)

Korea, Vietnam, and Cuba all showed communist soldiers fighting with more valor against a technologically and economically more powerful USA.

I’m sorry this is off topic but that implication really fucking pisses me off.

According to Anita Gelato

I thought somehow this was somebody’s very relevant name

“The labor market lacks sufficient workers with the right skills to meet domestic production and sustainment demand.”

I like to think I played my own small part in this by being one of the workers who has the right skills, while refusing to work on any defense/war related stuff.

I’m guessing it’s Pat Gelsinger? I believe he was part of some christo-nationalist nonesense. It’s 404 now so I can’t check unless someone has an archive.

Jesus fucking Christ this post is about killing Hitler. The leader of the Nazi movement and head of the genocidal state.

Also this is ahistorical. Even at the height of fascism in Nazi Germany, in 1945 where the population had decreased and Nazi party membership was at its peak, 8 million people were members of the Nazi party and the total population in Germany was almost 70 million. Obviously it was possible to not be a member of the party. And this was after over a decade of indoctrination, youth programs, and mass murder on the part of Nazi party members from the top down to the rank and file. People did not have the freedom to identify as anything they wanted, but apart from those who had a literal or figurative gun held to their heads if they didn’t join, they didn’t have to be Nazis.

You have to draw the line when it comes to murder, on all sides, if you care about human life.

Yes, and if you care about human life you must draw the line somewhere after killing fascists. This is the obvious solution to the “paradox” of tolerance. If you want a society tolerant and safe for everyone possible, you must exclude those who make it intolerant and unsafe. And in this example, if you value human life, you must be willing to resist fascism by all means.
