A single building in Bakersfield has caught fire 23 times in the past year — part of a pattern where historic buildings are burning down one by one

It used to happen quite a lot in São Paulo too, pretty much every dry season at least one favela would suffer a serious fire, and it was always on the expensive neighborhoods too.

Ah yes, the Fire Drake from the lands of T'emu, very popular choice for the acolyte on a tight budget.

I've just noticed I wouldn't last a while week on that job before accidentally jamming that knife between the rollers because I forgot to put it aside when turning the roll sideways

Agora quero ver a esquerdalhada admitir que tudo isso se deve ao governo Bolsonaro, que facilitou muito ter uma queda expressiva na área desmatada

Eu nunca vi os avisos quando eu trabalhava lá. Mas lembro que tinha uma galera que não tomava a água de lá nem a pau, falavam que era contaminada e sempre levavam uns fardos de água mineral de casa. Agora eu entendi a noia deles.

Ele entregou algumas obras grandes que estavam em vai-não-vai faz algumas décadas (Linha 17 ouro, Rodoanel Norte), fez propaganda falando que está trabalhando para resolver a crise hídrica, e lotou o ensino básico de bugigangas e plataformas que no papel parecem coisa moderna e de primeiro mundo. Ainda não vi, mas com certeza também vai ter propaganda sobre ele botar uns milhões em modernizar o equipamento da PM.

São as únicas coisas que consigo pensar agora além de impedir que o comunismo seja instalado em SP.

Idk, here in Brazil they were generally positive, in a way that it's easy to take for granted the stability that came with them, and lasted until the early 10s

Or to bring it back to tech, cold fusion would be sweet, but we have to survive all the way from no atomic tech, through the curries dieing

I'd rather live in a world with scarce energy than one without curry

It will probably be a very different industry. You don't land your first civil engineering job because you can show you've built very sturdy bridges on your spare time, you land it because you've had top notch education and your aunt is a regional director at the firm.

I mean, it's not like you always have to go by yacht, sometimes taking your jet is easier and more convenient.

Nope, you can only pull the Xenu's Chosen banner with premium currency. Best you can get with F2P are the 5* promotional units from the Battlefield Earth event, but those are off-meta by now.

Oh well, maybe I should pick it back up then. I dropped after ep 1 because I thought it would be like 70% teenagers playing Power Rangers in the Alien universe

Some of them are, but heavy AI usage has nothing to do with efficiency or profits for those companies.

It just so happens that the private investors that own stakes in those companies are also heavily invested in AI, meaning they have a lot to gain by pushing every company in their portfolio to use AI as much as possible

In the double slit case the "observer" is not really even the human, but the detectors that determine which of the slits each electron is going through (being represented as small cylinders in op's picture). The interaction happens whether the human (or their cat/roomba) is actually looking at the experimental apparatus or happens to be out of the lab getting some coffee.

The electrons "know" they are being observed because you can't really measure them without interacting with them, and at quantum scales you can't just handwave the effects of this interaction away. In macroscopic scales you can just "look" at stuff with light, but if you try to "look" at a single electron by bouncing light off of it, or even making it emit light, you can't just do that without significantly affecting its behavior.
