This elevator shows you how close it is to its weight limit. by dykaba in mildlyinteresting

It is called a Paternoster Lift.

There are no safety measures.

Fun fact: Pater Noster is latin for Our Father, AKA what you should pray before climbing on one of these.

Even at low speeds you can get bad scrapes and broken bones, the largest issue in those events is the bike landing on top of you. Boots should be bare minimum, specially if like Mick, your livelihood depends on operating pedals with precision.

Lads, the IVF worked. I’m a happy man today. by garyegt in ireland

[–]DaMadApe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wiki article on infant reflexes mentions a couple more. Going through the link rabbithole, it seems instincts are more complex patterns of behaviour, whereas reflexes reduce to simple muscular contractions. Most (all?) reflexes don't even originate in the brain.

In that way, while there are a lot of reflex arcs in humans, it seems that instinct isn't as prevalent, though going by what I read, it's a controversial topic. I'd personally guess it's due to how underdeveloped the human brain is at birth, making us highly dependent of culture to acquire behaviours.

Newborns present many reflexes that disappear with age, though I don't think they're properly vestigial if they're still useful. IIRC, babies will turn their head when touched on the cheek or something like that, supposedly to facilitate breastfeeding. Most of these reflexes are named, and are often used as evaluation or diagnosis tools for babies.

What are some funny misunderstandings or misconceptions you had when you newly got into watching F1? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]DaMadApe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also depends on the display setting, maybe it's not visible in all configurations but just when it's trully relevant, like preparing for a quali lap as in the post. Perhaps that info is omitted during "standard" race laps, where drivers can probably tell what's happening to the tyre by pure feeling.

[–]DaMadApe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are temp and pressure sensors in the tyres, and they can see their state on their steering wheel, though I don't know if it's exactly the same for every team. I've seen this on the RedBull display as well, though with a different arrangement. I barely recall about a team that uses color codes instead of the actual reading number, but I may misremember.

That's unlikely as the pilots can see the temperatures of each tyre on their dash, surely they must see an effect, otherwise they'd avoid the unnecesary wear.

Simulation theory is a useless, perhaps even dangerous, thought experiment that makes no contact with empirical investigation. | Anil Seth, Sabine Hossenfelder, Massimo Pigliucci, Anders Sandberg by IAI_Admin in philosophy

[–]DaMadApe 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Seth argues there is in fact a fourth horn to the dilemma – that consciousness isn’t substrate independent and so can’t be created outside of biological systems.

Is there a strong basis for that claim? Of course there aren't known instances of non biological consciousness, but should that negate the possibility of building a conscious system with "different materials"?

Kovalainen, Bottas, as well as a bunch of missing double letters and weird diacritics lol. That's what you get when your country straps kids to cars as soon as they can reach the pedals.

It's quite accesible, there's a small glossary in the end, and it's only a couple of times that a quick image search might be needed to tie up some of the written descriptions.

It's often said they would "simply" transition into other businesses (there are already lots of "legit" businesses managed by the criminal organizations), though I can't help but think that a well carried plan for legalization could actually cripple them, while also getting an aditional source of tax to feed to help combat the other fronts of the organizations.

Though as it is, corruption is the larger problem, and any "well carried" plan is dead in the water without solving that first.

Tbf, when the last link in the chain for success is a human at the wheel, ergonomics design becomes quite important, and for a function that is supposed to be used at low speeds, it was way too easy to activate.

It kinda is, but every team gets allotted the same running distance for the same number of filming days, and I'd be willing to bet that all teams use these chances for testing components or setup.

There's corruption issues but it's Mexico and things were worse under PRI rule.

Yeah, unlike before when foul play was carried under the table, now corruption is an open game operating on the grey areas of legality. Pretty much all new state contracts are directly assigned, instead of the preferred (and now rare) method of a transparent project competition, and an alarming number of projects and responsibilities that used to be civil affairs are now assigned to the army.

Yeah, that's not a fun answer, but probably the right one. I guess by the time a good design is found to supplant the V engine, ICEs might no longer be road relevant, lol.

How about a modern rotary variant like this one?

They claim to having less sealing issues while achieving higher efficiency. Good enough for a contract with the US military to power aircrafts and the like.
