…
biden basically did that already. ever noticed there are no byds on the road in the us?

- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 1 month ago:
They make bad small phones that people don’t buy because they’re bad, then conclude its because people don’t buy small phones.
They make phones like the palm palm, the second phone you have to pair to your other phone, for those days when the big phone is too big. Also the battery didn’t even last a day. When it doesn’t sell they say its because it was small, not the everything else.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 month ago:
What heat source are you using? In my experience induction about matches electric kettles.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 month ago:
Yes, but…
Cooking itself also does this. If you are searing or frying that will also release dangerous particulates. Make sure you have and use a vent hood that vents outside the living space when you cook regardless of fuel.
I can say from personal experience of using every kind of home stove, that gas is both the worst and slowest. Boiling water for my morning coffee is fastest on induction, which takes about half the time as resistive or radiant electric, and gas takes nearly three times longer than that.
Though it might just be the american style of burner that directs the flame away from the center of the pan. I’ve not yet tried any other kind.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 1 month ago:
no. that’s thermodynamically impossible.
though it is true that fission and fusion are opposites, you cannot gain energy by fissing and fusing the same material. There’s an inverted bell curve where medium sized elements are the lowest energy state. You can get energy by making atoms more medium, fusing the smallest atoms or fissing the biggest ones. Doing the opposite costs energy.

- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 2 months ago:
Every study uses sampling. They don’t have the resources to check everything. I have to imagine it took a lot of work to verify conclusively whether something was or was not generated. It’s a much larger sample size than a lot of studies.

I pretty sure they selected posts from a 6 year period, not that they spent six years on the analysis.

“niche market,” is a way of saying they made a bad product few want.
