MossyFeathers

All three land crossings between Israel and Jordan were closed following the attack, the Israel Airports Authority said. The Allenby crossing mainly serves Palestinians and foreigners, with Israelis not permitted to use it.

How convenient. Sorry if I lack sympathy, I'm just not sure how much of what is coming out of Israel's mouth is trustworthy anymore.

I can't tell if that's sharpie or a tattoo, but tbh, I think this is in the land of "so bad it's good".

you're full of mold and rot.

What's that crazy one with the stems on the bottom right?

If a constant is defined by another constant, without a variable between, wouldn't it be fair to simplify that into a single constant? Additionally, based solely on the article, it almost sounds like they're inverting that, saying that Planck time and Planck length determine the speed of light and gravitational constant(?).

Decentralized networks seem to be getting stronger. The number of options you have is crazy. I'm hoping for the day that decentralized networks overcome centralized ones. It'll probably still be a while (years at least, probably), but given time, I bet it'll happen.

I also had an idea for a wifi network where a router talks to other routers in range to setup networks independent of the internet. The idea being that, if widely enough adopted, you could potentially cut out ISPs except in situations where the signal needs to travel long distances (like rural areas). The router would have an antenna for long-range communication, and then a second antenna to actually talk to devices in a smaller range. Kinda like meshtastic, but significantly faster (with the trade-off being distance and penetration).

I looked this up, it absolutely is a problem. People being unable to empathize with each other due to differences in the way they percieve reality is a problem. It's not that people perceive the world differently, it's the fact that it causes a lack of empathy between two or more parties that is the problem. A lack of empathy can lead to one or more parties taking action that hurts another party.

That honestly seems like a problem, especially since the world seems to be suffering from a critical lack of empathy as it is. Simply reframing or ignoring it won't make people suddenly, magically, universally empathize with each other. If anything, reframing it risks causing the problem to go unaddressed and result in larger issues down the road.

Something tells me they're not just slapping chatGPT on the school computers and telling kids to go at it; surely one of the parents would have been up-to-date enough to know it's a scam otherwise. At the very least, surely the students will start to get upset that they're getting made fun of for the "facts" they're learning from chatGPT, complain to their parents, and cause the school to get sued.

It seems like a very stupid scam to try and teach rich kids with chatGPT which is why I'm wondering if they're using something else. They could be acting as a testbed for a new AI designed specifically for teaching. I wouldn't put it past rich people to use their kids as guinea pigs if it meant they could save or make money elsewhere.

Unfortunately the article doesn't mention what kind of AI they're using though.

Yes, I'm very aware of everything you just said. Doesn't mean it isn't frustrating to find out that an idea you had was a good idea, but you couldn't study it because you don't know enough about the subject. I love science and engineering, but I didn't find that out until after I graduated and I don't have the money to "respec".

Like, you have a heightened awareness of what’s happening around you, but a reduced sense of agency or ability to react.

Holy shit this is exactly how I feel a lot of the time. Your sense of agency refers to your percieved ability to alter the outcome of an event, yes?

Are you sure that's not a microphone for videos? It'd be really weird to have a hole like that. Water should easily push itself through that hole. I honestly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to air pressure. I'm pretty sure your eardrums can survive close to a 1 atmosphere difference in pressure, and those are way more fragile than your phone. I'm not sure why your phone would need to normalize air pressure.

Cops are allowed to break the law while pursuing a case in the US (not sure if that's true elsewhere). That said, there may be restrictions on context, content and actions they can or can't take. However, I bet you could make a pretty decent argument that they were using it legitimately in this context.
