tiny little problem of spinal cord attachment, surely It Will Be Solved™. at least they didn’t throw nanobots at it

their practical skills are weak, and they won’t survive the winter (because they don’t know how to make jam)

but frame the same physics in terms of what makes steam turbine spin, and they’ll pretend to get it but won’t apply it anywhere else. the longer you look the worse it gets. it’s like they have never watched how it’s made as kids

But anyways - why is there a vacuum in the jar? To preserve the jam? Isn’t jam a preserve? Like, I thought the whole raison d’etre of jam was as a way to make fruit keep, unrefrigerated, through the winter? Why must we preserve the preserve? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

this is “fucking magnets, how do they work” translated to rationalist, except that explaining magnets involves quantum mechanics and explaining jam jars involves high school physics (saturated vapor pressure vs temperature. that might be before high school). i also like how one linked explanation sits near two pieces of slop and is wrong

put google on that shitlist too, just today i see that they started replacing search results with slop

by introducing more mess that has to be cleaned up later

chair is also fucked up, as are dude’s shorts. and whatever object it is behind chair (caulk gun??)

that cheetah-leopard does have very short rear legs and unequal length front legs

kirk’s mentor died from covid before, but kirk was face of this org so it had to end this way. i think that fuentes tried to do entryism there with low degree of success. i only got reminded of this dipshit once after he died, 2w ago, nobody cares at this point about his org, it’s a spent force

there was a time when anthropic models would refuse any question related to medicine. not because they care that hard, mind you. it’s because that bloated startup is ran by cultists and they were worried that chatbot will come up with a bioweapon

carbon fibre is reflective for microwaves

carbon tet will destroy your liver, and it’s also a dogshit solvent. hexane is a replacement in some applications. if you need a better solvent, use toluene

GHB is one of many date rape drugs that people also consume recreationally, and yeah i’m not sure why they love it!

it shares some of bits of appeal with alcohol and benzos. some people also use it to ride out stimulant comedown, or at least to catch some sleep after stimulant use, and this goes for regular stimulants of amphetamine type but also for ketamine (and psychedelics. not sure how much crossover is out there, but it might be a different type of user). i heard that it also has some anabolic effect, but using it for pre-workout would be unwise

i don’t know what kind of approach to workplace drug testing is/was out there, but ghb/gbl is a combination of being rather polar and having no chromophore which all else equal, means that its detection is harder/different compared to other drugs, and being metabolized quickly and also being formed naturally at low levels, which means that detection window is short. ghb lacks groups that typically react with reagent-type tests and instead custom-made strip tests are needed, or lab testing

there also might be general mindset that they’re so rational, that it’s impossible for them to use drugs in harmful ways (famous last words). some people just think of it as an another tool in their toolbox, and figure out that something is wrong only when they wake up strapped to a bed, with half of their face burned and iv line attached, in a psych ward two countries over, if ever

The developers claim this thing will use “net zero” water. This is while they want to take water that would normally be topping up the Great Salt Lake and use it to cool the site’s gas power plant.nbs

gas turbines (like seen already in genai dcs) don’t need water for cooling, ccgt powerplant does, but it’s because there’s steam turbine downstream. dc itself could also use evaporative cooling. ccgt has some components with long lead time that will require more planning, footprint and construction than straight gas turbine powerplant

Nothing has changed in that respect, except now we have an extra tool to make sure we get the decision correct.

And I thought the summary did a much more comprehensive justification of the ban than I could have fitted in the modlog, so why not include it?

idk maybe because it’s unnecessary to do that in the first place, and can be filled with nonsense from nonsense generator https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/25880065 emphasis mine

unless i’m to disbelieve my lying eyes, that does sound awfully like llms are in the decision making process
