There is definitely an element of Tribalism. But in my experience you have to maneuver to avoid cars coming into your space more often on a bike or motorcycle than you do in a car. Not that it is constant, but it’s a one or two times a week vs a couple times a month in a car. You’re just less visible since you’re so much smaller. Not that loud exhaust is a good fix, haha.

Legally it is Florida, so I won’t try to convince you otherwise. Culturally though, the Florida Keys are pretty distinct from the mainland. Nice place, except for all the usual high tourism island pitfalls, but they are alleviated considerably since there is a bridge.

I think it’s a truck for regulatory reasons. Trucks get a pass on a bunch of things that can be a regulatory issue for cars, because of course they do.

They are offering kits to make it a van or SUV. Still no coupe, but better than a truck for many purposes.

By the time most people start pumping gasoline, they are almost past the part of their lives they take many standardized tests in.

I hate it too, and yes the current layout is way better. I’ll try it, but I might try other browsers too. I hate that most times a ui for a phone is updated it reduces the number of functions presented, becoming simpler and cartoony. Sometimes a feature or setting you used previously takes longer to get to, sometimes it’s gone. (Not firefox for the features being gone entirely part, that I’ve noticed)

The chemical is capsaicin, and it’s a neurotoxin. That’s why with repeated exposure you can start to gain resistance.

Birds are less sensitive to capsaicin, which made having it around seeds beneficial for plants. Birds eat the seeds and then spread them after flying somewhere else, but mammals are deterred from eating the seeds and they are poor vectors for spread because most mammals that eat large amounts of vegetable matter have molar teeth that aid in breaking down small seeds for digestion.

Until a certain mammal decided they liked the burn, and deliberately spread those plants further than birds ever did.

My god. Somehow I hadn’t thought of doctors using LLMs to make decisions like that. But of course at least some do.

I like there being no requirement for a cloud account, but the storage being on a card in the camera seems vulnerable. What’s to keep someone from taking the card?

I would never expect a good analysis of a movie from an LLM. It can’t actually produce original thought, and can’t even watch the movie itself. It maybe has some version of the script in its training database, and definitely has things that people have said about the movie, and similar movies, and similar books, and whatever else they scraped. It it just returns words that are often grouped together and that have high likelihood of relevance to your query.

I wouldn’t recommend it, sounds like she has an STD.

Sounds like that is a different context, haha!

This was interesting. Most of these jobs are dangerous because they increase your exposure to car accidents it looks like.

I had heard that most police officers deaths are from car accidents, but this says “violence by other people or animals”. Must be just their category name, not because animals are a significant danger. That category is shared with one other profession in the top 25 most dangerous, supervisor of mechanics at number 19. I guess bossing around people with a lot of potentially dangerous tools at hand goes bad fairly often.

Driving just to drive, not to get somewhere. Often kind of a social event to see and be seen, kind of like a promenade, but in cars.

Well, one way or another it won’t be too many generations. Either we figure out it’s a bad idea or sooner or later things will go off the wheels enough that we won’t maintain the infrastructure to support everyone using this type of “AI”. Being kind of right 90% of the time is not good enough at a power plant.

Heavy things can bounce if they have the right properties. That ball looked to be going somewhere between 5-10 mph and that guy went down fast. That momentum had to come from the ball, and that ball has to weigh considerably more than he does to hit with that much force at that speed.

That chart isn’t of “how low” the men in the study would go, it the age of the women ranked most attractive by the men in the study. Still isn’t great, agreed, but it is talking purely about physical attractiveness.

Here is the chart from the same study about what age ranges the men in the study said they would find acceptable to date. By 28 years old, 20 is no longer within the field.

Radiant heat is great for intermittent heating. Instead of heating a space, you heat the objects (and people) in the space, and that heat can be felt seconds after starting the heater. It doesn’t matter if the air temp is actually 2C if the radiant heat makes it feel like 22C.

No, their response did not validate that. In fact, they said the words “it’s not technically illegal”. There is a possibly illegal way to go about it, and a legal way, and no way to prove the difference, but that doesn’t equal technically illegal.

I didn’t feel you deserved the downvotes for your first question, provided it was in good faith. You’re right, like all common misconceptions, it’s best to present clear data wherever we can.

Yeah, drug names and Pokémon names are running into the same problem. They can’t reuse them, and there are so many already.

Actually, I suppose a name being used for a drug or a Pokémon precludes it from being used for the other, so it is a very shared issue, lol.

Wonder how far they have to reserve names in advance to prevent overlap. A Nintendo vs GSK court case for a name would be less absurd than many news stories this year.

True, but by a different mechanism. Immune memory was not involved in their continued resistance.
