Is it normal to forget your own age?

Jump

  • I thought I turned 36 on my 35th birthday, so i imagine towards the end of being 34 I must have forgotten my age

    • Is it normal to forget your own age?

    Jump

  • I was never 35. Thought I was 36 until my 36th birthday when I realized I had been wrong for the previous year.

    • Google explains Gemini’s “embarrassing” AI pictures of diverse Nazis

    Jump

  • Thanks for saying this. I’m pretty tired of people talking about how we have changed the definition of ai to include this stuff whereas I remember talking about ai in terms of things like random forests and q learning 20 years ago

    • Can money buy happiness? Income may boost emotional well-being more than we thought

    Jump

  • There was a study a while ago what showed money correlated well with happiness until about 100k/yr of income in the US, at which point it flatlined. I can’t remember how long ago this was and inflation would certainly make that number high today, but it made sense other than that even at the time I thought 100k was a but low for the flatline, but I’ve lived in some of the most expensive areas of the US and in Japan through my life, so I’m sure my experiences are a very skewed.

  • What always gets me is the idea of humility in Christianity with the “Stay Humble. Pray” bumper stickers and the like.

    What could be less humble than thinking that the perfect Devine creator of the universe would listen to and solve the petty problems you ask of it?

    • Because AI and Crypto use so much electricity, what if a law was made that they had to power it with green energy?

    Jump

  • By your estimate, visa used 3.4x the power of eth. I would guess visa handles much much more than 3.4x the volume of currency transactions and is way more efficient on energy.

    • Your average conclusion

    Jump

  • I was spanked as a child and am not okay, but to be fair, the childhood friends I keep up with were not spanked as children and also are not okay. Clearly we are in need of a third option.

    • Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle?

    Jump

  • I almost bought an electric vehicle recently, but ended up getting one last stick car. I will be buying electric, but I will hate giving up my manual transmission.

    • What's the most unrelatable song lyric?

    Jump

  • Bayside, we’ll be ok

    We'll be okay, We both got what we wanted, I got sex you got fame

    • What is the best star trek moment of all time?

    • New gender gap

    Jump

  • Axes should remain the same with the lines missing at parts where there are missing data. This makes it clear

    • What's a word that should never be used in a professional setting?

    Jump

  • “Union” - your boss, probably

    • Anime fans, what are your favorite anime openings of all time?

    Jump

  • Lain is a great anime with a great opening, but cowboy bebebop/tank not being on top makes zero sense.

    • Which software was ahead of its time?

    Jump

    • What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?

    Jump

  • Newton MessagePad 2100. I used it daily from 2008-2011 (well after I had an iPhone) for office work and everyone thought I was crazy but I loved it. I still prefer the ui for calendar/contacts/note taking compared to everything else out there.

    • Heists like seen in Die Hard I actually exist?

    Jump

  • To add another example, The Millenium dome raid is a good story of a foiled heist that is reminiscent of cinematic heists.

    • Wasabi, beloved on sushi, linked to "really substantial" boost in memory, Japanese study finds

    Jump

  • Yes, real wasabi is markedly different from what is usually served. Super delicious

    • Planet Express Van, is that you?

    Jump

  • Sweet zombie Jesus, I need that in my life.

    • Planet Express Van, is that you?

    Jump

  • Where’s the device that speeds or slows the passage of time?

    • Futon Rule

    Jump

  • Futon are made from sheets of wool (traditionally) or cotton (modern) folded over several times and then tied together. They’re very soft and fluffy but can get flat as used. Daily folding and putting away of the futon helps keep them fluffy.
