Here's why people are being so mean about the Titan going down - CBC (www.cbc.ca)
I have to say I’m not sure what they were hoping for, the discourse hasn’t felt overly mean by internet standards, but maybe that’s just my bubble. I’m sorry they died, but now that we know all the details it’s a bit like the guy that decided to hike up a lava field last year....
Sweden officially joins NATO (www.nato.int)
I can't respond to Kbin users.
In the console, I can see submitting under them doesn't even produce network traffic. They also don't display properly with an @, which makes me wonder if their address is being stored wrong internally and making calls fail....
Why were steppe nomads so OP in medieval Eurasia?
Maybe the classical era too, I don’t know where the start year should be. It ends in the early modern period when bordering agriculturalists like the Russians start expanding....
Global average temperatures, copied from Reddit. (imgbox.com)
Since I don’t want to link over there, and I want to illustrate a conversation about studies showing humans prefer 11-15C with a peak at 13C....
Can you add new instances here usually?
I'm told you enter the full URL into the search function, but that doesn't work. Is that normal or an exodus-related issue? I'd like to look at Kbin stuff.
Is there an interesting set of natural numbers defined by a number-theoretic property that is finite?
Hypothetical Situations on Fediverse - SDF Chatter (lemmy.sdf.org)
I just made this one. I envision it basically being the same as the subreddit. It's truly amazing all the weird scenarios people can come up with, and I love answering them especially if I can do it in a sciency kind of way.
The most recent XKCD, which is the best periodic table ever made (www.xkcd.com)
This is about exactly how I remember it, although the lanthanides and actinides got shortchanged.
[META] What are the demographics of this community?
Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.
How long until there's an r/AskHistorians equivalent?
If ever. I don't know, are they part of the blackout? I thought they were.
An old-ish analysis of the posterior probability of abiogenesis (arxiv.org)
It’s not really news after a decade, but I still think it’s worth a look. This is something I think about sometimes, and it’s better to let the actual scholars speak....
Fans preserve and emulate Sega’s extremely rare ‘80s “AI computer” (arstechnica.com)
RAND on the benefits and limitations of the F-16 for Ukraine (www.rand.org)
A few months old now, but it was news to me. Basically, the F-16 will allow Ukraine to keep doing the same thing they are now, but are just as limited for the purpose of providing support on the front lines....
A worried Washington prods Israel to define its military objectives - CBC (www.cbc.ca)
An interesting look at how America thinks about the conflict when cameras aren’t pointing at them. TL;DR they see themselves 20 years ago, and are trying to figure out how to convey all the lessons that experience taught them, including “branches” and “sequels”, which is jargon I haven’t heard mentioned before....
What's the issue, specifically, with Lemmit federation?
Example: On here vs. on Lemmit itself....
Does anyone have tips about the Egypt 2027 eclipse?
I want to get a head start on it....
X-Ray echo suggests our galaxy was "active" (quasar-like) just 200 years ago - Nature (www.nature.com)

Has Prigozhin been seen in public since the withdrawal?
Some sources make it sound like he lead the charge back to field camps, but recent developments make me wonder. Is it possible he actually was captured and made to give orders under duress?
Land and water hemispheres - Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
I feel like this explains a lot more of how I think about the the geography of the world today than any other map I’ve seen recently. This is why Australia seems strange and distant while China is familiar, despite the much higher language and culture affinity I have with post-colonial Australia.
Is there a word for the position of denying that the concept of reality can be taken a priori?
Other than (metaphysical) anti-realism, which I’m under the impression is an umbrella for all types of denial that there is an independent, external reality....
I assume this sort of thing also counts? (iteroni.com)
The comments say it can run a lot faster, as you’d expect for the added complexity, but they don’t usually use the full speed for liability reasons. I wonder if a version could be made that’s fully enclosed.
A pedestrian elevator that goes up and over something. (www.youtube.com)

Physicists Finally Find a Problem Only Quantum Computers Can Do | Quanta Magazine (www.quantamagazine.org)
Unfortunately not the best headline. No, quantum supremacy has not been proven, exactly. What this is is another kind of candidate problem, but one that’s universal, in the sense that a classical algorithm for it could be used to solve all other BQP problems (so BQP=P). That would include Shor’s algorithm, and would make...
