  • People already have problems comprehending orders of magnitude with base 10. At base 12 things would only be worse.

    If anything we should go binary to better understand the difference between a billion and a million. 🥸

  • Wait, you play games to have fun and not as a duty? What about "pride and accomplishment"? ;)

    The moment I embraced easy mode was when Assassin's Creed Odyssey was like: "Is the gameplay we designed for our single player game too tedious? Then buy some legendary items with IRL money or maybe our XP cheat!"

  • You're downvoted, maybe because people think you promoted the current system (I don't see that), but what you wrote is technical correct.

    The US has less regulations than it used to have, but there are still rules (e.g. laws against insider trading and stock manipulation, labour laws, consumer and environmental protection etc.).

    Unfortunately the existing rule are being gamed into oblivion and I'm not saying they are sufficient nor do I deny their decline. I'm just saying it could (and maybe will) be worse than now.

  • They can't? I should watch that series again... Anyway, good point, but of course they can't, because the phaseshift forces truly massless particles (like photons) into a state of quantum entanglement.

    That means photons hitting them, create an entangled twin that only exists long enough for them so see their surrounding. The "original" photon however just passes through making them invisible to others. Energy from the surrounding is used to create the twin, cooling the surrounding shortly. However, since the twin is immediately reabsorbed (and the entanglement broken), you basically can't detect the effect.

  • I don't have a good explanation for how they can breathe, how they see without interacting with light, how they can hear clearly when matter isn't really touching them and therefore can't conduct sound, etc.

    That is obviously due to a phase shift in the quantum fields, which is correlated to the mass of the interacting matter (through the Higgs field). This leaves you interacting with light stuff like air and light, but prevents you from interacting with solid stuff like walls (and potentially force fields, if that would fit the episode).

    Of course, artificial gravity affects the mentioned phase shift by bending spacetime.

    And now I must go, before my handwaving creates enough energy to form a black hole.

  • Well, it's nice that you two found a common ground here, wife and husband. It is a bit weird you did so by communicating via Lemmy comments, but's great if this works for you. ;)

  • To me the most interesting aspect of the article is kind of fuzzy, namely why she left.

    There's a hint, but it remains unclear what her concerns about the finances were.

    Swan has a different story. She says she raised concerns about the organization’s handling of finances, which the executives were unable, or unwilling, to address. In a 7 April 2022 email to former chairman Wiseley, Swan resigned.
    “It is with deep regret that I feel the need to step down as deputy treasurer,” wrote Swan.

    Later the article mentions her being slandered for defending a local library that displayed children’s books with LGBTQ+ themes. So maybe that topic contributed to her leaving the group, but all of this seems to have taken place after she already had left the group.

    Am I missing something?

  • Even if it isn't altruism, it is a sign and people just freaked out over rainbows on beer cans.

    I mean sure, you shouldn't think a company is your friend, but if they publicly declare support, I wouldn't attack them neither.

  • Aside from the security nightmare, I'm really curious what havoc the LLM can cause by hallucinating stuff, based on how suggestive a question is asked.

    Wife on husband's account: "What dating sides did I visit this year?"
    "Here are the 5 most popular dating sides you visited last year:..."

    "When was the last time employee X watched porn and on what side?"
    ...

  • Good news! Everyday it's a new circle of people, you're always the last person to introduce yourself and the day ends with small talk where you are expected to remember things and names that were mentioned before.
