- Comment on ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds 5 days ago:
Unfortunately yes. I’ve met people who ask chatgpt about absolutely everything such as what to have for dinner. It’s a bit sad honestly
- Comment on Where do British elites get their news? Publishers, social media and AI 6 days ago:
41% of all adults and 60% of decision makers according to the article. But that includes online newspapers, and the number who actually named their favourite newspaper was far lower.

Anyone else shocked that 19% of people in “senior jobs and leadership positions” read the Daily Star??!!
- Comment on Time travel doesn't work unless you also have teleportation. If you travel to the past/future, Earth will be in a different position in its orbit, and you'll die in space. 2 weeks ago:
This is interesting because the most “realistic” (i.e. still not realistic) depictions of time travel in fiction involve travelling through a singularity or wormhole. So you probably have to be in space to start with, but also both ends of the wormhole have mass so they can be orbiting a planet or star and stay within a stable distance of it. It solves this particular problem (just leaving the other usual problem of causality!) It also proves your point since it does allow travelling in space, in fact it allows travelling faster than light.
I think the converse is true as well, that if faster than light travel is possible then time travel must be possible, at least if you take relativity at face value. As others have pointed out there’s no universal reference frame, and for any journey that is faster than light in one reference frame, there is another frame in which the journey goes backwards in time.

Thank you, this prompted me to go and look up the meaning of that song. It hadn’t occured to me before that it was about the Falklands

- Comment on Can anybody anywhere in the world 🌍 create a website like lemmy and Mastodon with possibility of creating multiple instances and feed it into the fediverse so that it gets shared into both lemmy and? 2 months ago:
Not sure exactly what the question is but I’m fairly sure the answer is yes. 😀 Anyone can start a Lemmy/Mastodon instance and anyone can create new software that federates with it.

Very cool! I’m still impressed by seeing anything 3D in a browser even though I know it’s been possible for a while.

- Comment on Centuries-old leasehold system to be abolished in England and Wales 4 months ago:
Good to see, but a shame that the plans only apply to new housing developments, and they’re being very vague about anything after that. Seems to take an extremely long time to do anything on this issue despite the changes apparently having wide support
