The equator on Mars is significantly warmer than Antarctica.

Nah. Humans aren’t remotely that powerful. We could detonate every nuke on the planet tomorrow and make human life impossible, but in 1000 years the conditions for life would be fine, just the large animals would be extinct. In 1 million years you wouldn’t even know it had happened u less you dug I to the geological record. And 1 million years is like the blink of an eye on the timescale of a planet.

Do we know enough about how our brain functions and how neural networks functions to make this statement?

Yes, we do. Take a university level course on ML if you want the long answer.

When we learn we aren’t building a form a capital; when models learn they are only building a form of capital.

What do you think education is? I went to university to acquire knowledge and train my skills so that I could later be paid for those skills. That was literally building my own human capital.

“The Chaser” is a satire site. This never happened.

“The Chaser” is a satire site. You’re getting really angry over something that never happened.

Unless you’re a game by Bethesda, most people (and most reviewers) are going to assess you at release. If the release is shit, they’re going to stop playing and forget about the game. A patch 12 weeks later won’t help, because everyone has moved on.

The first time I ever rode in a Model 3, I accidentally used the mechanical door handle instead of the electronic one. It’s exactly where a normal door handle is. The driver said it happens all the time.

The brakes in a Tesla are move powerful than the motors. If the guy in China had actually been hitting the brakes, the car could have never reached 150kmh. The chance of a simultaneous failure of the mechanical brakes, the electrical interlocks and the drive software is FAR less likely than the chance the driver was pushing the wrong peddle.

I don’t think he know about Shires, Pip.

Meant “Rostered Time Off”. They’re used interchangeably here.

It’s a 3 year term. $1m per house.

Even if you turn them into townhouses at half that price, 30 houses Vs 400,000 new people doesn’t really shift the needle.

So what you’re saying is that violence in the US should be compared to Afghanistan and Syria? Ok, I can agree with that.

That list proves my point - it’s mostly shootings. You have to go back to 2017 to find a vehicle/bombing attack in a western nation.

Note for non-Americans: “RTO” here means “Return To Office”. (Not Rostered Day Off)

This post is a perfect example of alienating people who are almost entirely progressive, because they don’t perfectly toe the left line.

Is the rush you feel from being righteous online really worth the millions of votes it costs the progressive cause?

Everything you’ve said is true. But it was all true in 70s as well. Todays young people aren’t going to remain as progressive - every generation becomes more conservative over time. Hell, baby boomers were hippies. That Karen who votes for Trump and calls the HOA when you forget to take your bins in on time - there’s a good chance she was burning her bra for equal pay when she was in college.

The far-left purity test alienates many mostly-left people.

You can be pro-choice, pro-women, all for supporting the poor, gay rights and trans rights - but if you dare suggest that maybe trans women shouldn’t be competing against born women in top-level sports, then the vocal left brand you as a transphobic TERF whose opinion isn’t even worth listening to. They would rather fight you over the 2% of things you disagree on, than embrace you for the 98% of values you have in common.

The vocal left want diversity in color, gender and sexuality - but they will not tolerate any diversity in thought or opinion.

The Italian right-wing party is fairly similar to the American left-wing party.

Shrinking? They increased their seats in the house last election, and now control >50%.
