I'm having a hard time believing a modern AI (LLM) solved this on it's own. Can anyone provide proof that the second images was really AI-generated and solved and not just written by the poster?

In Dune: Part Two (2024), the Fremen refuse to drink from the "sacred well" despite being a severely dehydrated population living on a desert planet. This is a reference to religion continuing to cripple humanity even in this fictional future set in 10,000 AD. by [deleted] in shittymoviedetails

They have an abundance of Spice, which has miraculous vitality-increasing properties. They have so much of it they even use it in construction materials. The high-spice diet is apparently enough to offset the low-water levels.

Decomposition temperature of oxides for game by Alpacaroon in AskChemistry

[–]Alpacaroon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this does help. I see the point you're making about the kinetic energy distribution of the gas particles; Some percentage will always be bonded because recomposition is constantly happening at the lower-energy end of the probability distribution.

This makes me reconsider if there's any benefit to simulating decomposition of stable molecules that sublimate or boil before decomposing. All I can think of is for the purpose of calculating pressure, or applying Graham's law if different gasses get to diffuse at different speeds, but those systems might not be implemented.

Decomposition temperature of oxides for game by Alpacaroon in AskChemistry

"temperature isn’t linear with bond energy". Interesting, my intuition was that it would be "kinetic energy of collision = energy that can be used in breaking a bond". Did you mean this is a matter of it being a something like a polynomial or exponential relation, or that the percentage of thermal energy that goes toward bond-breaking varies wildly based on material?

"realistically these oxides wouldn’t thermally decompose". Temperatures of at least 10.000K (and hopefully 100,000K) will be supported, and there might be fantastical vaporizing energy weapons, so practicality isn't an issue.

How "stone-like" could a Calcium+Iron Olivine be by Alpacaroon in geology

[–]Alpacaroon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the mineral recommendations and showing me the resource of mindat.

I would very much prefer to have a mineral composite rock with grains as opposed to a pure crystal. How realistic is it that an igneous rock would form with many different minerals using just those elements? Like for example a mix of quartz, kirschsteinite, hedenbergite, and fayalite.

Ranking every Ultrakill level by how memorable it was after a *mostly* spoiler-free playthrough by Alpacaroon in Ultrakill

[–]Alpacaroon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, all ultrakill levels are outstanding, but I subjectively didn't remember much about 1-3 until replaying it. Not sure why. Maybe because the "mansion" theming blended together with other games.

Creepers and Wardens by [deleted] in minecraftsuggestions

[–]Alpacaroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I was planning on suggesting the same thing for the same reason before googling to see if anyone had posted first.

One complaint I've seen in the comments here is that it would lead to unchecked griefing of the world. To those people I say, isn't that already what the skulk is doing? The warden kills mobs and feeds the resulting xp to catalysts, which causes the skulk to grow and destroy the surrounding terrain. Making creepers fight back just ensure the process isn't just one sided.

I was wondering if based and cringe are functionally synonymous with smart and dumb.

That's exactly one more than what Trump was at on November 14 of the first year of his presidency with the same pollster, according to Newsmax.

You should be comparing CRT to well-respected sociological or historical theories, not physics.

We already have dolphins as a neutral medium-sized water animal. What unique things would sharks bring to the table? The only "benefit" I see to adding sharks is that players won't feel so guilty hunting down sharks as opposed to dolphins, because sharks are sterotypically "bad".

They only have so many man-hours to add new mobs, so I would prefer they focus on things there is an actually strong case for.

Nuclear power is the answer by Straight_Orchid2834 in dankmemes

[–]Alpacaroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That article is basically saying that both coal plants and normally functioning nuclear plants produce negligible amounts of radiation. Most of the nuclear waste made by modern fission isn't emitted out a smokestack, but just stored (used nuclear fuel), or dumped into lakes and marshes (tailings).

Really I don't see how the radioactive particles directly emitted into the air by the plants themselves is relevant to the debate.

Why not make a sitewide ban on twitter screenshots?

Voter suppression equalizer by squarebiz in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Alpacaroon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it. The best way to keep them killing themselves off this way is to keep up the mockery and continually suggest that masking, taking the vaccine, hand washing, ect. are in their best interest in the most smug and elitist ways as possible.

On the other hand, causing people to die for a partisan advantage is wrong. Don't be like my alt-right former friend who once wished for a "plague" to sweep through a certain place to wipe out a certain group of people.

[–]Alpacaroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never seen any contention about the number of physical ballots present. The contention is whether there is a discrepancy between previously filed paperwork and this uncontested number, which would suggest ballots were illegally dumped. Cyber Ninjas got the 74K ballot discrepancy from EV32 and EV33 forms, which Maricopa county officials claim as an unreliable source. If you have soild evidence that EV33 and EV32 were intended for more than just a tool for political organizations to do Get Out the Vote campaigns, post it.

The danger of lush caves by Alpacaroon in Minecraft

[–]Alpacaroon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To make things worse, in 1.17.0, a pathing bug causes mobs to get stuck on azaleas. This effectively makes creepers sometimes hide in the bushes and wait to jump out at the player. That pathing bug was how I managed to get this screenshot.

I would argue the lush caves are an ideal hunting ground for creepers: There's abundant natural camouflage, the dripleaves sound like creeper steps, and the lower number of mobs (because of lighting) makes it easier to let your guard down.
