  I think the joke is that AI pictures usually contain a lot of highlights (shiny spots) just like this picture does but on closer inspection this picture contains details that an AI wouldn’t be able to draw so it must actually have been drawn by a human.

  The films version of ‘Chained by one chain’ has been in my go to playlist for 5 years now. They did a great job with that one.

  For me it’s enough to rearrange my legs so I’m no longer able to bounce them to stop. An easy fix tbh. Though I do enjoy bouncing my leg when it happens and I’m not bothering people but I don’t have to bounce.

  The article also doesn’t mention how much they produced, if the produced tritium can be reintroduced back into the reaction and if it’s feasible to regulate the dose of production

  It’s still interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is white light "white" because that's what our start emits?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d assume if we lived on a world where UV or infrared wavelengths were the most intense we’d evolve eyes to work around the problems that our eyes have. There probably is an upper and lower limit to the wavelengths that animals on earth have adapted to and there probably also is some physical limit (imagine wavelengths of 1 kilometer). However the ability to see in the wavelength that is most intense is a big advantage since everything that does photosynthesis is probably that colour and being able to see those tasty morsels would be an advantage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is white light "white" because that's what our start emits?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on if our cone cells which are responsible for colour reception would have evolved differently. With our current sun and atmosphere they have evolved to perceive a range of wavelengths that are the most abundant/intense and don’t have a drop in intensity in the middle. Here is a graph showing solar and terrestrial wavelength intensities compared to wavelengths we have evolved to see.

  So to find out if the range of wavelengths we are able to see would be different if our star were a red dwarf we would need to take the emission spectrum of the star you’d want to replace our star with(the orange part), then remove from that the percentages of each wavelength that our atmosphere absorbs to get the terrestrial wavelength intensities (the dark blue part). Then you could probaly look at that graph and take a chunk out of the Y-axis that covers the highest intensity wavelengths (cause plants would probably have that colour and we’d want to see those) while not getting too long and also trying to avoid lower intensity dips in wavelength. Then you’ve got your visible colour range. If that range is the same as our current one then white stays white. In general objects that appear to us as white reflect or emit a mix of waves with different wavelengths in such a way that we perceive the total of it as roughly equally blue, red and green. If the visible colour range we perceive is different, then our cone cells would also be triggered at different wavelengths.

  Following the headlines logic: Germany is angry at this post right now for overgeneraling them in a topic where there are a lot of fake news and and propaganda spreading actors already. Germany will now go and make itself tea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That somehow feels right. I still kind of want some phrase that you could substitute for it though. The most correct feeling thing I could think of are seasons as in ‘the summer rains’. But from a logical standpoint a concept that is defined by humans producing something material doesn’t really make sense since a concept isn’t material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which sentence do you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the 'it' in 'it snows' doesn't refer to anything⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘It’s raining’ must refer to the same it as the one in ‘it rains’. From that we can gather that the entity referred by ‘it’ must be quite capable as it can do the raining as well as be raining. However ‘It’s cold outside’ could refer to the air as in the air is cold outside. Similarly the ‘it’ in ‘it is the case’ needs some context in a prior sentence or something else in the real world otherwise the sentence doesn’t make sense.

  I think it’s OK. It looks very normal in this video. Not perfect is fine for a Pope who wanted the grave of a normal person.
