    TIL that India cut the Pythagorean theorem—Edit: its similarity proof—, periodic table, and evolution from mandatory education in June 2023 Edit: before adding it back a week later

  • All of these topics are : How the Universe Works 101

    ..and they apply to literally any and every field of study..

    General knowledge like this is ducking priceless when it comes to understanding.. so. ducking. much.

    That aside, I also think your specialization comment is stupid. Did you happen to graduate from a school in India in the past 16 months?

  • Guess I'm dumb. Tbh this is an expected outcome.

  • So I don't get to prioritize one candidate over the other? I can only vote "approve" or "disapprove"?

    These are rhetorical questions and I know the answers, but dang, you failed to explain the "ranked" part of "ranked choice"..

  • It is a talking point meant to engage you and waste your time, it doesn't have to make sense. This is conservative playbook 101.

    It is a demonstration of good faith vs bad faith. If only you explain it to the person properly then they will change their mind? Nope. They're just energy/effort vampires trying to exhaust you.

  • The context of.. reading the fabric of the universe?

    You're right, that is totally irrelevant to.. a physicist.

    I see you're trolling, so I look forward to your condescending response, but to be successfully condescending you have to be at least somewhat convincing in displaying intelligence, if you can manage that then this whole argumentative act will go much better and people will get much angrier.

    TLDR, Try the same troll tactic but with less incompetence for better results.

    Jk, I had a hard time pinpointing the target of speech as well, the final comment about holding elected office was the only indicator I found. Most people are really poor communicators/writers, eh?

  • Big Oil knew monster storms were coming. We have the receipts. Internal documents over the last 45 years reveal the fossil fuel industry has long known their products would supercharge extreme weather

  • Of course. Because as we know, every positive event in history has occurred while holding hands and respectfully requesting what was required.

  • North Korea to cut off all roads and railways to South Korea

  • It seemed to me that the "beautiful propaganda" as you call it.. and I can't really disagree with you.. could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas.. even a soldier in the show does that).

    So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically.. then compare the two perspectives. In this case you're the critic and I'm devil's advocate.

    Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I'd guess probably. But who knows.

  • "Wow Johnson, no matter how much biased data we feed this thing it just keeps repeating biases from human society."

    Sample input from a systematically racist society (the entire world), get systematically racist output.

    No shit. Fix society or "tune" your model, whatever that entails..

    Obviously only one of these is feasible from a developer perspective.
