    Today I learned that despite its dissolution almost 35 years ago, Soviet Union is still #2 on overall Olympic medals won tally. They won 1204 medals in 39 years

  • I'd rather live out in the woods on my own than be forced to work a job that actively harms my mental health.

    And admittedly, I know too little about Marx but I'd be surprised to learn that he was in favour of mindless work for no purpose other than to tick that "has job" box.

  • I'm not saying it's forever impossible, I'm saying I currently don't trust these technologies to operate autonomously in a context where lives are at potential risk and they'll need to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they can do so reliably before I start trusting.

  • So the goal is simply to tick everybody's "has job" box, not such unnecessary things as "earns enough to afford food and shelter" or "is fulfilled by job" (edit:) or even "has useful job".

  • Yes, your point is to forget things that don't lend themselves to your argument.

  • And when they don't qualify for any available jobs or there simply isn't any work and thus no jobs anywhere because jobs don't grow on trees, you give people the job of sitting at a desk for eight hours a day doing nothing while their mental health crumbles away. Jolly good.

  • Saying "socialism is superior because look at all these successful athletes from this one country" is the same level discourse as "socialism is evil because look at all these people killed by dictators in the name of socialism".

  • Can anyone recommend any good science communicators for a 12 year old girl?

    Jump

  • I wonder if Collier might not be a bit too advanced for a 12-year-old who, it sounds like, is just starting to develop an interest in science. Might need some curating, maybe?

  • If we're being pedantic (which I'm all for), the sounds aren't switched 1:1 exactly.

    German z is usually a ts sound, like the tz in hertz.

    German s is indeed commonly the same bu**zzing sound as English z (but it can also be a sharp hiss**ing **s**ound).

    An approximation might be [koorts guh zaakt].

  • It hasn't yet been used without people around who can stop the process if it goes wrong.

  • Ah, portrait mode, let's watch that real qu**26 minutes**

    No, 26 minutes is not egregiously long, of course, I just realised that portrait mode sends that "short video" signal to my brain and it confused me for a sec :)

  • I do not know that. I'd also assume the technology to close a door on a car to work very differently from that on a house because a door on a house that may not be closed properly is far less dangerous than one on a car. Also, yes, I don't trust that 2 ton vehicle either if it claims to be autonomous.

  • Call me a cynical luddite but somehow I don't trust today's autonomous car technology to be reliable and fool-proof enough for that mechanism not to fail catastrophically and randomly because it's raining or someone on the other side of the street made a sudden movement or Mercury is in retrograde or the company's stock market just dropped 592 points because investors are furious after realising they wasted money on a backup or it's Tuesday.
