This Earth, only home i will ever have had, isn't truly mine. No, i'm just a passerby here ... it might yours if you don't feel how weird, how wrong it is.

  • [...] Kara-Murza was freed in August 2024 in the largest prisoner exchange between Russia and the West since the Cold War.

    Alexei Navalny at least has successors.

  • if not stopped, after Ukraine, the orcs (ruSS) will reach for Poland, or whatever, until they control all of Europe. People have to take a firm stand. Each nuclear threats has to be met with an equal dissuasion from Europe.

  • no. Expansion of the universe is accelerating.

  • List of (some of) their new tech :

    an open-source AI model outperforming the best human score in the maths Olympicsa link to Nature's paper

    DeepSeek’s self-correcting AI model aces tough maths proofs

    (...)DeepSeekMath-V2 introduces self-verifiable mathematical reasoning for the first time. The model consists of a verifier trained to evaluate mathematical proofs — which are built on a series of step-by-step deductions — to identify logical flaws and assign scores according to how rigorous the proof was. A meta-verification system then checks whether the verifier’s critiques are accurate, reducing the likelihood of hallucinations and improving trustworthiness. These components work with a proof generator that constructs solutions and evaluates its own work, refining arguments until no further issues can be found.

    The design creates a feedback loop: the verifier improves the generator, and as the generator produces more-challenging proofs, these become new training data to strengthen the verifier.

    The system was able to solve five out of six problems, scoring 83.3%, in the 2025 IMO. It was, however, unable to solve the hardest problems set in 2025 and in past IMOs.

    Math-V2 relies on self-verification using natural language in the model itself, Xie says. This reduces human involvement and makes the model more cost-effective and scalable.

    Gemini's Deep Think, by contrast, verifies mathematical reasoning using an external, symbolic language called Lean, and its verification process requires extensive expert input. The method is nearly free of hallucination, but it is computationally expensive and resource-intensive, Xie says.

  • ++(there is a) banana container ship, for scale, would have been nice. in the big dust cloud

  • Unwittingly "L3Harris" though supports an Oppressive Authoritarian American government and the ongoing genocide committed by Israel.All for no gain in Canada since it will never materialize.

  • The Court said the host has to :1- pre-check posts (i.e. do general monitoring)2- know who the posting user is (i.e. no anonymous speech)3- try to make sure the posts don’t get copied by third parties (um, like web search engines??)Basically, all three of those are effectively impossible.

    in my opinion : #3 effectively seems impossible, #2 is contrary to Lemmy's philosophy and #1 would require a lot of community supervision ... that would require a different Lemmy software.

  • @arunshah240 deserves the credit for posting this first on Lemmy.

  • Friday the 13th 😯

  • i agree with what you said with this exception :Clostridium botulinumhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_botulinum → Microbiology →→ Serotypes (...)However, all types of botulinum toxin are rapidly destroyed by heating to 100 °C for 15 minutes (... )(Heating to) 80 °C for 30 minutes also destroys BoNT.

    Also : toxin is destroyed doesn't necessarily means bacteria is also destroyed.

  • i searched this topic a little bit to see what could be the worst consequences at ground level and the worst I found ((much smaller than what was described by another user @givesomefucks here)) was this :

    Ground-induced electric fields

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_weather#Effects

    Magnetic storm activity can induce geoelectric fields in the Earth's conducting lithosphere.[26] Corresponding voltage differentials can find their way into electric power grids through ground connections, driving uncontrolled electric currents that interfere with grid operation, damage transformers, trip protective relays, and sometimes cause blackouts.[27] This complicated chain of causes and effects was demonstrated during the magnetic storm of March 1989,[28] which caused the complete collapse of the Hydro-Québec electric-power grid in Canada, temporarily leaving nine million people without electricity. The possible occurrence of an even more intense storm[29] led to operational standards intended to mitigate induction-hazard risks, while reinsurance companies commissioned revised risk assessments.[30]

    Here, the collapse of the power grid was not caused by terribly energetic phenomena(s) but rather, lack of oversight about ground fault protection devices ... that has been corrected since then.

  • did Chinese surpassed others (American) here ?

    Also, top image of this post is cute :

  • ... impossible to say right now, yet, I look at this as a new paradigm. Like, instead of looking at the animal kingdom and saying they are all animals, being able to distinguish between many different species, but for the body : the previous understanding was that our cells had the same genetic code and now the Horizon widens to show a whole new diversity we didn't know about.i believe it's the start of a new science.

  • These studies are promising :

    The accumulation of DNA mutations in some cells over time can cause cancer, (...)It is a much greater challenge to sequence DNA from individual cells, because there are only two copies of the genome to work with, (...)

  • Maybe you are right about the origin of fuck. Yet, I do believe language tend to be modified over time in the way I (tried to) described above.

  • You have to understand the impact of euphemism, hypocrisy and modesty to language.

    Example : at one point it was seen as obscene to talk about copulation, coit and fornication. So, for the houses where the king approved fornication, they simply created a modest acronym F.U.C.K. (short for : Fornication Under King's Consent) that later became itself seen as (of course) obscene.Similarly at one point, long ago in history, it was seen as rude to tell a guard// servant// soldier to kill someone else and the euphemism chosen at the time was to say "execute" meaning "carry on" without saying what was to be carried on.This word "execution" is being increasingly seen with that later "capital punishment" meaning ... this might be telling something of our preoccupations and/or obsessions.
