Trick here is you need to volunteer something spicy first to lay the foundation that it's safe to be spicy.

If you come out of the gate with spicy questions without calibrating what spicy is, expect plain answers regardless of the quality of the questions.

Relatively low hanging fruit is to get them to weigh in on a disagreement with two spicy sides... if it's framed as being between you and someone you respect already, and you volunteer your own spicy take, that provides the safety for the other person to get involved

Everyone is doing a terrible job of explaining, but they're right.

Gravity, 1G, is described on terms of an acceleration. 9.81m/s2.

What is an acceleration? Is is the rate of change of a velocity. If a velocity changes slowly, it means the acceleration is low. If the velocity changes quickly, the acceleration is high.

Now, imagining a record player. Or cd player. Or your spinning wheel of choice:

You know that points farther away from the center are moving faster in absolute terms compared to points closer to the center.

Because the points farther from the center have a larger velocity, that means after some rotation, the total change of velocity for the outer points must be larger than the change of velocity for inner points. So, points farther away must have greater acceleration.

So, the apparent acceleration changes according to how far things are from the center point. This is why it really isn't the case that it would be 1G everywhere. 1G is a specific acceleration, if if we've established that acceleration isn't constant across the radius, then it can be 1 G only at one spot, not all.

There was recently a "design proposal" (more of a published thought experiment) I read (posted on lemmy) where the authors had figured out the diameter required such that the gravity differential from feet to head wouldn't be weird. It was quite large if I recall.

Really wish there was the complete data set rather than just looking at the immediate run up to the dot Com burst, and then from that peak to the trough of the aftermath of the 08 crash.

My idiot cat loves vacuums. Dives in front if them like they're security taking a bullet for some VIP.

She wants to get vacuumed. Makes hair management pretty easy since she'll enthusiastically let us vacuum the source.

That is roughly the premise of Beavis and Butthead

People run whisper on HA, and there already exist intention mapping packages. They've been around for probably a decade already. Pretty hit or miss... mostly because there isn't a ton of flexibility in the structure of the commands you issue it.

If someone wanted to use an online LLM to attempt to translate a complex whisper transcription into something an existing intention mapped would handle well, that's closer to a day's worth of goofing around rather than a year. I actually refuse to believe it hasn't already been done.

And if you're using an online llm to do that translation, I don't see why that can't be behind a paywall either.

Honestly for this task, I imagine offline models would be sufficient.

I dunno. Timeliness seems reasonable.

AGI in 18 months. Start a timer in 12. I think a clock is roughly 66% of the complexity of AGI. Math checks out.

Give me a P!

 
 

Our city leaves free dirt out at the fire station for people to spread on their sidewalks in the winter. I grabbed some for the back ally which is very icy.

I probably only grabbed 30 lbs or so, but I was still very diligent to lift it properly. Last thing I need over the holidays is to have a sore back.

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
