We can do that with the first sentence and flip it into German, replacing "lighter" with "fireworks". We get:

"Sie dürfen die Feuerarbeiten nicht mit in die Luftebene nehmen."

A lot of German speaking communities online do translate English loanwords into German words, often with the intention to create this funny effect.

13/13 Vehicle with Crew 2 that costs one mana to cast

That's gotta be Death's Shadow but as a Vehicle, right?

There's even a word for that called scurryfunging.

It was always meant to become a free game just like it's predecessor. This is just that transition.

Re LLM summaries: I've noticed that too. For some of my classes shortly after the ChatGPT boom we were allowed to bring along summaries. I tried to feed it input text and told it to break it down into a sentence or two. Often it would just give a short summary about that topic but not actually use the concepts described in the original text.

Also minor nitpick but be wary of the term "accuracy". It is a terrible metric for most use cases and when a company advertises their AI having a high accuracy they're likely hiding something. For example, let's say we wanted to develop a model that can detect cancer on medical images. If our test set consists of 1% cancer inages and 99% normal tissue the 99% accuracy is achieved trivially easy by a model just predicting "no cancer" every time. A lot of the more interesting problems have class imbalances far worse than this one too.

AI can be good but I'd argue letting an LLM autonomously write a paper is not one of the ways. The risk of it writing factually wrong things is just too great.

To give you an example from astronomy: AI can help filter out "uninteresting" data, which encompasses a large majority of data coming in. It can also help by removing noise from imaging and by drastically speeding up lengthy physical simulations, at the cost of some accuracy.

None of those use cases use LLMs though.

The reason they chose Antarctica is because the most often used flat earth model* has Antarctica as a ring on the "rim".

They usually do acknowledge a 24h sun in the north existing based on that model because it would require the sun to remain central over the disc, which is geometrically not really an issue. However the southern 24h sun is not possible with that model. (Edit: Excluding some weird lensing effects or multiple suns, like some of them claim)

*Most of them will tell you they don't have a model, because they don't really know what "model" means.

Source: I watched too many SciManDan videos.

Sorta. The function height(angle) needs to be continuous. From there it's pretty clear why it works if you know the mean value theorem.

Indeed. Did you more or less know that or did you challenge yourself to a round of impromptu geoguessr?

Now you know what to post!

I wanna add to what other users already answered that this problem is not created by federation, only exacerbated.

If I'm mod of a community and I ban your Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world account, I cannot stop you from creating, e.g. Lost_My_M1nd@lemmy.world and coming back. Most servers have some barriers against spam account creation in place, but I'd wager you could easily create a handful of accounts on a server until they start to grip.

Even completely centralized platforms such as Twitter and Reddit are the same. You can easily ban/block evade a couple times per timeframe.
