What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

digdug,

I clicked that hoping it was Angela Collier! I found her channel just a couple months ago and it's so entertaining.

Monty isn't giving you new information - he's giving you an extra "pick".

If you never change your choice, you can completely ignore anything Monty does, because your first choice is always going to be 1/3 that you picked the right door.

You only have 2 options, but that doesn't mean your odds are 1/2.

Because Monty opened door 3 for you, if you change your choice, that means you have a "pick power" of 2 doors, because you get to choose both doors (2 and 3).

Basically, your two choices are:
Door 1 - odds = 1/3
Doors 2 and 3 together - odds = 2/3

I mean, if she's already dying, what's the issue here? I'm losing money if I have to stop and call 911, when she has a perfectly good phone to do it herself.

digdug,

It's probably closer to a strawman or false dichotomy, than it is projection.

Though, providing basic needs to prisoners seems like a relatively small price to pay to keep them off the streets and hopefully deter other crime.

digdug,

Even on that, a driver in the right lane must exit. If they want to continue to the left, they are required to make a lane change, in which case all lane change rules would apply.

digdug,

He's saying "crime pays," so the tax won't hurt them.

In this hypothetical, the AI would be trained on fully clothed adults and children. As well as what many of those same adults look like unclothed. It might not get things completely right on its initial attempt, but with some minor prompting it should be able to get pretty close. That said, the AI will know the correct head size proportions from just the clothed datasets. It could probably even infer limb proportions from the clothed datasets as well.

digdug,

I think there are two arguments going on here, though

  1. It doesn't need to be trained on that data to produce it
  2. It was actually trained on that data.

Most people arguing point 1 would be willing concede point 2, especially since you linked evidence of it.

I don't believe you're fully arguing in good faith here.

I'm assuming you've seen a naked adult, and if you had never seen a naked young person, I don't believe for one second you would be unable to infer what a naked young person might look like. You might not know for certain, but your best guess would likely be very accurate.

Generative AI can absolutely make those same inferences, so it does not need inappropriate training material for it to generate it.

The AI knows what a young person looks like.
It knows what a clothed adult looks like.
It knows what an unclothed adult looks like.

An AI trained on 100% legal material could make that inappropriate inference without even trying.

Now, have all the popular AI models actually been trained on 100% legal material? I have no way of knowing that answer, but you're incorrect to assume that just because it can output inappropriate images, that absolutely 100% proves that data was also included in its training input. Edit: nevermind, it definitely has been trained on inappropriate material, but that doesn't disprove that it doesn't need to be.

digdug,

This is the part of the conversation where I have to admit that you could be right, but I don't know enough to say one way or the other. And since I have no plans to become a pediatrician, I don't intend to go find out.

digdug,

This is what seems to have helped for me on Fedora:

  1. Install free and non-free RPM Fusion repositories: https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration
  2. Then run the following: 
    sudo dnf groupupdate multimedia --setop="install_weak_deps=False" --exclude=PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin
sudo dnf groupupdate sound-and-video
sudo dnf install mozilla-openh264
rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin

I was having trouble with many h265 videos until I cleared my gstreamer cache (I only needed to clear the 64-bit cache, this thread suggests clearing both 32 and 64-bit):

"Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

digdug,

What's scary is that I think the owner of userbenchmark actually believes that statement. Which might explain how he's so out of touch that he thinks his own crap doesn't stink and deserves to be locked behind a subscription. I'm just sad that there might be a not insignificant number of people that pay for it.

digdug,

Falling injuries would skyrocket if that door opened outward.

Wow, I had no idea VeggieTales covered that song! I didn't think it was even very well known outside Mormonism.

digdug,

Unfortunately, very few: https://www.nasa.gov/solar-system/its-surprisingly-hard-to-go-to-the-sun/

Even on cars that support it, it has always told you that you need to close Steam to put the car in drive. They don't let you play any games while the car is in motion.

It's been a decently good feature to have; the few times charging was a bit slow for me, it was nice to be able to play FFVI or Secret of Mana to pass the time. And it even synced my saves for when I got back home.

digdug,

You're not really out of the loop, this was more than 20 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd

digdug,

Since I don't have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.

digdug,

Did she happen to have the entire interview recorded? Would be nice to see how well she did.

digdug,

You tilt your head back like you normally would, and then just breathe out through the liquid. It does the exact same thing you're doing, just without vibrating the vocal cords.

digdug,

Here's the long version of the Technology Connections HVAC video

digdug,

The viewing options OP listed should all work with AV1, I think they were just worried by the preset names. Plus, hardware support should only get better.

OP, you should be able to adjust settings after you select a preset, so you can pick different dimensions/frame rates/audio codecs/etc.

Side note, I've found that the matroska container is the easiest one for me to use if I want better subtitle support.

I just tried this a couple different ways:

  1. Removing permission for "nearby devices" - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
  2. Turning off the phone's Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you'd basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren't watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn't also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).
digdug,

In headlines, a comma is often used in place of "and", so it should be read as "GOP Rep sued for falsely claiming man was Chiefs' parade shooter and illegal alien"
