- Comment on Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏 2 days ago:
Hands apart is for capacitive prayer transmissions, but most religions use inductive transmission where hands together help form the coil through the hands. It is also important to not pray while laying down, as this changes the polarity.

Hobby pilot, here. Yup, spot on. But for the most part, the comment you responded to was also pretty much spot on, so I have no complaints.
Can’t speak for any ATPL holders, though, so let’s hope they don’t see this thread.

- Comment on Should South Korea launch a preemptive attack on North Korea? 4 weeks ago:
No. NK has a bunch of artillery hidden in the forested mountains just north of the border. And and SK has a lot of population centers within within firing distance. And this includes rockets/missiles with some rather spicy warheads.
And rough terrain ensures that a quick blitz to topple the government and their nuclear arsenal won’t work.
Sure, NK will not be able to hold off SK in the long run, especially if SK invites friends. But Seoul will be leveled.
Plus, China really does not want a US ally on its border, and are likely to intervene.

My eyesight is too good for me to have an opinion on this, but I just wanted to relay my coworkers opinion that laser operation was worth every Øre (our equivalent of Penny)

In addition to blocking a few garbage instances and users, you can block posts that link to certain sites and posts that contain certain keywords. - Comment on How far away are we from someone using AI to create an animated TV show by themselves. 1 month ago:
As far as I know it is possible right now. There are some really impressive video generative AIs out there. Us regular people probably cannot do it, as nobody who runs such a model would let us use their resources to that extent.
But if someone with such a model decides to go all in, they could probably do so now. However, “now” does not mean instant. They could push the button now, and then the computers start to churn, and considering the size and complexity of a full movie it’s going to take a while.
And then you have the first pass done. The first of what will probably be many. I find it hard to believe that you’d create the entire movie in one go. Because if the AI fucks up just a few details, the entire movie will be garbage. It is better to do it scene by scene, and then stitch them together afterwards. So you run multiple passes for every scene until you have what you want, you stich them together, and then do whatever else you need to do to release this end result.
I’m sure the NVIDIA and AMD CEOs are currently having wet dreams of someone deciding to do this, because it’s going to cause GPU prices to skyrocket.

In 5 years hardcore researchers will be modding their lab equipment and installing plexiglass glass sides. Just like I did to my PC in 1999-2000ish
- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 1 month ago:
In that case you can expect relatively little humidity. While the cold will feel biting on your skin, it won’t be that bad, provided you stay layered and dry. Avoid sweating, or this will change!
If you’re shoveling snow, dress down once you get your blood pumping.

There definitely was. I’ve seen it.

Northern scandinavian, here.
This depends on where specifically. Near the ocean it’s nit that cold at the moment (well, depends what you’re used to, I guess. I get around fine with t-shirt and a light jacket. Temp varies between 5C and 15C nowadays.But in general, I suggest you bring a sweater and some woollen socks, and a jacket that can handle rain/slush/snow. Staying dry means staying warm.
- Comment on When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean? 1 month ago:
Somewhat relevant, I would like to recommend this one: thedailywtf.com/…/classif-wtf-the-virtudyne-saga
It’s a fun story about a company that grew because of the 90’s IT bubble, and how it all came crashing down when the bubble burst and it was obvious that the investors would probably not get any return on their investment.

Yeah, I came here to air my hypothesis that lab hardware trends lag behind consumer computers by about 25-30 years.

Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.

Apart from my mortgage, I’m finally debt free, and I’m running a surplus every month after all the bills are paid.
Well, except what we jokingly refer to as my “cripling gambling-induced credit card debt”; I returned some bottles while at the store the other day. The payout wasn’t a lot, but enough to cover the mundane items I was buying. Instead of dealing with the bottle return receipt I pushed that button where it buys you a small lottery ticket instead and the money is donated to red cross. Not surprisingly, I didn’t win. When at the checkout counter I realized that my GF still had my usual card after borrowing it earlier, so I had to use my credit card to pay the laughably small sum.
