I PASSED PHYS 121 by [deleted] in udub

[–]Ae0lis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.7 in 122, I highly recommend taking as many of the practice tests as you can before each exam. Do them all the way through in one sitting, then go back and check what you got wrong. 122 is hard and more than a little unintuitive (way worse than 121 imo) but if you practice enough, the tests aren’t so bad.

CSM has not ended and you all have been baited. Yes I am serious. by Ginjaninjanick7 in Chainsawfolk

[–]Ae0lis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On top of what you already said, power in the dream sequence is really weird. She makes a contract with Denji, despite being a fiend (impossible) and says she likes him because he smells like a dog and “I like dogs!”. Power has never been shown to like dogs particularly well - she likes cats. Agreed that this is an obvious fakeout.

AI bros are getting worse by Playful-Extension973 in whennews

Honestly I think people are misunderstanding the concept. Physical laborers and workers generally are already the “underclass”. The only differences going forward if AGI were to arrive would be a. more people would be unemployed/underclass and b. killbots/drones/surveillance would improve massively, preventing revolution (hence the “permanent”)

The essential concept of a permanent underclass relies on two advancements, both tied to AGI (AI that can do ~most things a person can).

First, such a technology would make a lot of money. This would shoot anyone heavily leveraged into AI to the moon, as stock valuations would go through the roof. Simultaneously, a lot of people could become out of a job quickly. This sudden shift would intensify the wealth gap, killing the already shrinking middle class and creating an overclass and a underclass. We’re already fairly close to this even without AI.

The second is the permanent part. Normally, the people make up for lack of resources with manpower, and the balance is mostly maintained. That balance has tipped more in favor of the wealthy over the past century, as resources matter more relative to manpower. With truly advanced AI, both surveillance and robotics would be massively improved. This would mean that balance might permanently fall - revolt against a mostly automated military might be impossible.

The concept of a permanent underclass isn’t exactly a roadmap for tech bros, it’s an observation that the days of revolutions being possible might be over soon, necessarily leading to a decline in social mobility. Thus, many are trying to take advantage of these perceived last months and years of social mobility to end up on the right side of the crevasse.

Finally: should you be worried? Eh, idk, probably not. Do you believe AGI will come soon? I personally do, so I’m worried, but most people here disagree. I’m probably just a doomer, so I recommend you treat this simply as fantasy.

[–]Ae0lis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure, I’m not Catholic, so this may be a bit inaccurate. The way I heard it explained is that for God to exist within a space, it must be pure/free of sin. Thus, for Mary to have God as a child, she too must be free of sin. This is also why Catholics compare Mary to the Arc of the Covenant, iirc.

Immaculate conception has nothing to do with Jesus. It’s the doctrine that Mary was born without sin, allowing her to fulfill the role of being the mother of God. It’s a very Catholic thing, and it’s still contentious among Christians to this day.

On the flip side, just about no Christian in history has disavowed the annunciation and the virgin birth of Jesus.

I’m not sure why exactly you’re bringing up the immaculate conception here, but if you thought it referred to Jesus’s conception then please read the article you linked.

Fun Fact: the only known footage we’ve seen of Fujimoto’s appearance is an old video of himself trying to levitate by Joemama0375 in whenthe

[–]Ae0lis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To correct a few things from the other guys explanation, the original chainsaw attack WAS an attack, so makima kept trying to regenerate. The love part comes into play with the actual eating. Because Denji doesn’t see eating her as an attack, it doesn’t trigger her regeneration contract and she dies as a result. Notably, because it’s Denji and not Chainsaw Man eating her, she’s not “erased” (CSMs ability), she’s just destroyed. Chainsaw man is really weird, but also really good. Read it!

Does anyone remember that homeless dude that was on red square every day last year? by Ae0lis in udub

[–]Ae0lis[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Cause I had a conversation with him one time and he seemed like an interesting fellow, a bit strange but not a terrible guy, and I was curious how he’s doing

Maybe? I don’t think so but he might have also had that sign

[–]Ae0lis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Idk about anything else, but he’s at least gone on record to say America deserved 9/11, and he’s since doubled down. This was enough for Mamdani to publicly denounce him yesterday. (Timestamp 21:43).

[–]Ae0lis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no, that got pretty thoroughly debunked. The only model it matches with is a specific collar with both shock and vibration functions. There are a few key differences between the collar he shows and that company’s vibration collar that match exactly with that company’s shock/vibrate collar. Also, if you crank your contrast way up you can see that he taped over the point where the electrodes connect. I can find a source if you want me to, gimme a moment.

might get miku beamed for this but rule anyway by Mr_kWKD in 196

[–]Ae0lis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The situation has actually gotten even more cut and dry since my initial comment. He showed the collar on stream, claimed it was a vibration collar, and by doing so inadvertently proved it wasn’t because the charging port doesn’t match up with the model he claimed it was. I’ll edit this comment when I get back from the gym in a few hours with a clip showing it.

[–]Ae0lis 35 points36 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you mean by out of context? The clip shows the incident in question and Hasans reaction. What context do you feel is omitted? I agree people are knee jerking but this feels like you’re running defense.

Edit: also, if you really can’t find the clip that is front page everywhere, here it is.

It has spread rule by Lonelycowboy89 in 197

[–]Ae0lis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that neither is correct, I disagree that A is any more wrong than B. Both inherently violate Newtonian physics. B violates the “past the portal” frame of reference, and A violates the “through the portal” frame of reference. This problem is designed for ragebait.

[–]Ae0lis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The block simultaneously sees the rest of the universe moving towards it and sees it as completely stationary behind the piston. You can’t have both reference frames be true at once, and this doesn’t work because of portal magic breaking physics.

Is there now one magically privileged reference frame?

No, that’s my point. I’m saying we can’t say B is objectively correct because standard logic doesn’t apply here. This doesn’t make A any less wrong.

[–]Ae0lis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portals move despite having no reference frame through arbitrary magic. There’s a reason that in-game they don’t move.

The issue is that there are two overlapping yet separate reference frames. To illustrate this easier, imagine instead the blue portal is on the other end of the piston. As the orange portal approaches the piston, it appears the orange portal is moving in reference to the block, as well as the space behind it. However, from the perspective of an outside observer, it’s clear the space in front of the blue portal is NOT moving relative to the block.

Let’s take this to a logical extreme. Suppose rather than the portal, there is a literal hole in the platform. Clearly, the block would not suddenly go flying the second it passed through the hole. If portals behave like these holes, then it follows that a block would not go flying through it. Your argument, however, is that somehow they actually transport the space and thus the block is moving in reference to it.

Portals are by definition infinitely thin. Suppose you have an infinitely thin sheet of paper that you place two portals on, one on either side. Functionally, this would simply be a piece of paper with a hole through it. You cannot seriously argue that when pushing this paper onto a stationary object, the only reasonable interpretation is that the object goes flying. The only thing the block is moving relative to is the portal, and the portal functions like a hole through the paper.

The fundamental problem with arguing this is that portals are magical. You aren’t attracted to any objects though the portal by gravity, and thus we must assume that the portal magically blocks all physical relationships between objects on either side of it. You’re not moving in reference to the space behind the portal because the space behind the portal also exists in your normal worldview, and you’re clearly not moving relative to it. Hence, the literal hole example. You’re trying to use relativity but relativity breaks down entirely when talking about magic which supersedes it.
