Could the Russians stop invading another country’s sovereign land?

I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where human artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!

0.999… / 3 = 0.333… 1 / 3 = 0.333… Ergo 1 = 0.999…

(Or see algebraic proof by @Valthorn@feddit.nu)

If the difference between two numbers is so infinitesimally small they are in essence mathematically equal, then I see no reason to not address then as such.

If you tried to make a plank of wood 0.999…m long (and had the tools to do so), you’d soon find out the universe won’t let you arbitrarily go on to infinity. You’d find that when you got to the planck length, you’d have to either round up the previous digit, resolving to 1, or stop at the last 9.

I agree on them being safe - when rules are properly adhered to, they’re extremely safe, similarly to air travel. People only suspect their safety because when they do fail, they tend to fail spectacularly, again similar to air travel.

Having said that, they may be efficient to operate, but they are by no means efficient to build. They cost a lot of resources, and have a 10 year lead time - plus you need to worry about the cost of waste storage and decommissioning.

So sure, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but you’re just kicking the nonrenewable can down the road.

That time and resources would be far better spent on renewables, because that where humanity is gonna have to go long-term no matter how well any other alternatives work.

Yeah, I’m aware of the “God of the Gaps” idea.

But that’s not what I’m talking about, nor are those the types of people I’m talking about - people willing to take in new ideas are a much friendlier bunch.

The zealot types, the self-proclaimed “sceptics” don’t just avoid learning about science, they actively oppose it. They ask questions like those @Ibaudia@lemmy.world said not because they want to know the answer, but because they’re trying to sow seeds of doubt into those who see them.

Those questions aren’t made for you or I to answer - and if you do try, they’ll shout you down or sandbag you until you give up.

In my experience of these zealot types, it’s that they don’t want to know the answer, and won’t accept any answer that isn’t literally bulletproof all the way back to the beginning of time - no matter what you tell them, God did it.

It’s like playing a pigeon at chess. It’ll shit on the board and then strut around like it won.

Went in expecting a slightly grittier CoD, and left with the horrors of war and saviour complexes.

I cannot reccomend this game enough - it’s just a shame it got delisted over music licencing, so you can only get it secondhand now.

Just having read the README, even if it’s a little faffy, the idea of being able to converse with someone and have it be translated back in near real-time is awesome!

This is the kind of application I was looking forward to seeing come out of open source AI - I think it’d still be a little too clunky to save you in an emergency, but probably less clunky for most people than learning a new language or having a human translator on retainer haha

Hugging and play fighting, sure, but can’t say I’ve snuggled with the lads (or girl friends either for that matter) - feels more intimate, like something you’d do with a loved one (or a pet).

Drunk me might lean a bit more towards leaning or pushing against the lads, but that’s always playful and jokesy rather than sincere as your post implies

I wasn’t, but just subscribed - I keep the flag on this and my KBin profile as a tribute

I’d say at least it’s not generational lead poisoning, but we’ll probably end up with that too at this rate
