it pays to be paranoid enough to not have a single photo of yourself on the internet. who knew
- Comment on What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say? 1 day ago:
it’s a spicy autocomplete. it doesn’t know anything, does not understand anything, it does not reason, and it won’t stop until your boss thinks it’s good enough at your job for “restructuring” (it’s not). any illusion of knowledge comes from the fact that its source material mostly is factual. when you’re drifting off into niche topics or something that was missing out of training data entirely, spicy autocomplete does what it does best, it makes shit up. some people call this hallucination, but it’s closer to making shit up confidently while not knowing any better. humans do that too, but at least they know when they do that

legally, that’s not news
- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
planck length doesn’t come up even once, it all boils down to these things: 1. electron has momentum, and from that follows it has a wavelength, and at the same time 2. orbit is stable, which means that after every “rotation” electron has to end up with the same phase, which means there is only a finite number of solutions to time-independent schroedinger equation for (hydrogen) atom (don’t bother solving it on paper for anything with more than one electron) and these things are spherical harmonics

that only works outside of dead internet
- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
these are f orbitals, there is 5 of d orbitals
- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
it’s not commonly discussed because it’s wrong
- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
planetary orbits are not quantized, for starters. atomic orbitals are occupied by pairs (at most) of electrons, and this is because of qm spin exists which has no analogue in large scale. it’s also a staple among vapid thonkers like mckenna
- Comment on sweet dreams 1 week ago:
you have to fail intro to qm 101 and/or be stoned out of your mind to think this way
- Comment on youth risky 1 week ago:
lab coat or nitrile gloves for that matter aren’t supposed to make you safe, lab coat is supposed to give you enough time to run to shower if something really bad happens. if you’re looking for protection from everything you need something much more substantial

protip: hot glass looks the same as cold glass
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 2 weeks ago:
do you even get back energy used up on making that plasma in the first place? how badly does it get fucked up by HCl? these trucks are still infrastructure, just mobile and not even real. it has a hint of hyperloop trying to eliminate new railway projects
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 2 weeks ago:
this is just burning plastic for energy with extra steps. remember, every extra step reduces efficiency
- Comment on Drone maker DJI facing U.S. FCC ban — the national security risk and part China-state ownership are key issues 2 weeks ago:
commercial drones have to be reflashed for combat use anyway. it only makes sense for them to standardize on something
- Comment on Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. 2 weeks ago:
in this thread we respect laws of physics. you aint sniping anything with a rubber bullet
- Comment on Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. 2 weeks ago:
dirty bombs are movie plot threat, bombers, suicide or not are not an issue in usa because alternatives are more easily available. your take sounds weird and disingenuous
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
if you’re splitting colours, expensiveness/unphysicalness of the thing is not related to actual danger, so you can indicate both things at once
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
make nickel yellow
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
also make sulfur green, probably phosphorus too if not as white phosphorus
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
it’s solid enough to make APFSDS out of it, it’ll be fine
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
why is cerium yellow but other lantanides green, technetium is cheaper than you think (fission product) but it’s also radioactive
plutonium and americium, and maybe uranium also should be blue, CIA would anal probe you for less
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
enriched uranium is also not particularly radioactive, only as a spent fuel is becomes spicy
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
calcium, strontium and barium are also pretty reactive with water, and at any rate beyond hydrogen the other product (metal hydroxide) is corrosive
- Comment on Can I Put it in my Ass? 3 weeks ago:
make nickel yellow (some people are allergic) osmium will be probably covered by layer of toxic tetroxide, cadmium and tellurium are also decently toxic

i will support whoever nukes bytedance datacentres

tiktokers aren’t a persecuted ethnic minority
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 3 weeks ago:
noooo not the cringe app! everything but the cringe app
yes, ban on tiktok is a net positive

nice try, but you won’t trick me into visiting that webshite

that aint theory, that’s a take at best
