StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you buy a Smart Glass in the foreseeable future?92·12 days agoI’d love them, but like others have said, not if made by Meta, and not if they rely on sending all my data to cloud services to function.
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Science Memes@mander.xyz•yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrkEnglish21·12 days agoIt seems maybe you’re actually misunderstanding. As I mentioned above, both you and the other commenter are certainly correct that the surrounding atmosphere (water in your case) exerts force on the objects as they fall, with varying effects depending on object density. However, if you take two objects that have vastly more density than the water (let’s say a big tungsten rod and another tungsten rod that has a hollow core), they will drop at approximately the same rate in the water even if their density vs each other varies. The greater the difference of their density versus the density of the medium, the less the effect of the medium. Is there still technically an effect? Sure, but that effect is negligible from a human perceptual perspective.
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Science Memes@mander.xyz•yeah everything is probably made of like, idk, earth water, fire and air or something idrkEnglish77·13 days agoWhile that is true, two properly selected objects (such as the ones mentioned above) can reduce the effect of air resistance to levels negligible to human perception, demonstrating that heavier objects do not intrinsically fall faster.
Here is my favorite treatise on that subject: I, We, Waluigi: a Post-Modern analysis of Waluigi by Franck Ribery
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/sEnglish3·1 month agoGozz is correct. You’re misunderstanding the nature of a digital signal. What the author did was convert a digital signal to an analog signal, store that analog signal on a bird, then record that analog signal. Whether it was redigitized after the fact is irrelevant. It is not a digital process end-to-end. This is the same as if I were to download a YouTube video, record that video on a VHS tape, then redigitize that video. Not only would the end result not be a bit for bit match, it wouldn’t be a match at all despite containing some of the same visual information, because it would be the product of a digital-analog-digital conversion.

StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Artificial Intelligence@lemmy.world•AI 2027 - A realistic scenario of AI takeoverEnglish1·1 month agoSkynet (a hostile non-human super-intelligence) would be a vastly more difficult problem to solve than capitalism, and vastly more dangerous.
The only videogame my dad has ever gotten into (other than Pong) was NFS II SE. He wouldn’t race, he just liked driving around at 35 MPH and looking at the scenery. He enjoyed this so much he bought a wheel and pedals for it. I loved this game as a kid, and the fact that I could play it with a wheel. The song “Headless Horse” off the soundtrack is pure 90s cool as well.
Thank you for posting, I’ve never heard a name put to this ideology before, which I bought into wholeheartedly in the 2000s-2010s.
I think at this point time has shown that it is absolutely false, at least in terms of it being a force that can override the fundamental dynamics of capitalism.
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many raw onions does your wife let you eat?8·2 months agoFour.
I think a bowling ball would actually just be a solid topologically. The finger holes are just indentations rather than holes that go all the way through. IANAT, though.

Technically no, this photographer is putting flowers under a blacklight and photographing them, resulting in a picture of basically what a human would see IRL in that scenario (aside from things like contrast/exposure variances, etc). It’s not really the same as what UV sensing animals would see. These photos are of regions of the flower converting UV light into human-visible visible light (via fluorescence, same thing as a blacklight poster). UV sensing animals are seeing actual ultraviolet being reflected by the flower as well as visible light, so it’s not the same thing.
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Financially rewarding and you will always have a job3·3 months agoThat same house in my area costs at least 10 times that amount. I was lucky in that I had “only” $80,000 of debt from my bachelor’s, a housing situation via marriage, and a career path with solid pay (after going back for an associate’s while working in a low-paying job post-graduation for 7 years). I only finally paid off that debt 2 years ago and I graduated in 2008. I don’t know how a lot of people manage.
StellarExtract@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Financially rewarding and you will always have a job9·3 months agoCollege graduates (PhD or otherwise) drowning in debt and not being financially able to pay it off is common enough here in the US that it’s a trope, and likely the basis for this “joke”.
Dark yellow! Yellow is inherently bright and sunny, when you try to make it dark it becomes a hideous contradiction.
