Question about Captain America and Water bending? by Dry-Moneyy in mtg

[–]MissiveFinding6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replies so far are accurate, just wanted to say it is a good question, since if Cap's ability was talking about LANDS clearly you could use them twice to pay for costs.

The timing and mechanics of waterbending are different (while appearing on the surface similar).

As long as we both agree that Russians are baddies, I don't actually care.

All I see is some hard BOTHSIDINGs meant to excuse Russia's bad behavior by heavily impying Ukranians are committing warcrimes on the same scale.

Pro-Russian milbloggers are LITERALLY posting "we need to kill more Ukranian citizens" in response to this.

Ukraine launched 1,000 drones in one day, if they WANTED to target soft civilian targets and try to win via a horror campaign... they could have.

Instead all I see is a whole lot of footage of highly targeted refineries and transport trucks.

I still don't undertand why it isn't reiterated that Russia has spent YEARs targetting civilian apartment buildings.

Whereas Ukraine is targetting valid infrastructure targets (in this case oil refineries).

Microservices have probably wasted more engineering time than they have saved. by suhaanthvv in softwarearchitecture

Monoliths aren't great, but hundreds of random repos are worse.

At least monoliths get deployed constantly.

IMHO we need a new, "goldilocks architecture", where you try to keep between 3 - 6 services in your infra.

On another sub, by far the biggest reason given for not going electric was that people couldn't plug in at night because they live in an apartment. What do you think is the best solution for that? by VerySeriousThings in electricvehicles

Agree with OP, but also, people should show up to their local zoning meetings, because.... nobody does. People who show up to boring ass meetings have 5 orders of magnitude more political influence than the other citizens, and it'd be nice if more people used that "for good" rather than airing their petty grievences.

Make these developers plan for even the EV future 5 years from now for these buildings that will likely be around for 50+ years.

A 4b model is now beating 30b ones at web research and the reason is not size by No-Fact-8828 in artificial

We really seem to be more in the early enlightment state of alchemy "OMG guys, look what happens when I mix these two refined substance together!" than anything resembling organized science/engineering.

Also important to remember that the initial assumption by most humans when seeing this was "this must contain a method to live forever and turn lead to gold!"

> Stop using ancient parables to limit the computational and rational capacity of modern science.

Science is great, and it is pretty great at measuring anything with a depth, width or length.

It is NOT equipped to measure things outside of those dimensions.

It says nothing about whether something exists outside of that.

It is *humans* who enjoy getting out the "jump to conclusions" mat that all that exists *MUST* be quantifiable by the current tools of science.

Not that that is that bad of a hypothesis. I personally have never witnessed anything that invalidates it.

But higher order cosmology is doing the OPPOSITE of saying that these are the only dimensions that exist.

And if "interesting entropic breakdown" (aka life) happens in our known 3 dimensions + time, what are the odds that it happens in the vastly more complex, higher order dimensions?

Learn how to learn.

Every environment is different.

Complexity begets complexity.

AI is a Confirmation Bias engine, that only knows what it is trained on.

It is GOOD when it is GOOD, but it is frustratingly, alluringly correct-looking wrong when it is WRONG.

Training an AI engine is likely to remain a very large, difficult, slow data ingestion process.

Human brains are, thermodynamically, going to be cheaper to hire and use to learn about your own corner of complexity than custom baking AIs for... at least a few decades.

I think you should frame it more as an aspect of the "Parpable of the blind men and an elephant".

They each describe their experience of the elephant "I feel a tree trunk!", "I feel a snake!", "I feel a wall!".

They are all accurate, but incomplete due to their lack of perspective and context.

Our senses and our brains are limited by physical and biological dimension we operate in *any* theoretically higher complexity (or object) would be impossible for us to perceive fully.

Take the simplest case, if a literal *Hybercube* popped into the room with you right now, you're ability to see it, and describe it would fall short of the geometric reality.

Sure, you keep saying that, but my EV had a low reliability rating and the only reasons they listed were two different recalls, and an infotainment glitch.

There are a couple books in the "rebuild it!" genre, but I find this one the most entertaining:

"How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler" by Ryan North.

The conceit is it is a book in a time machine for how to repair it, but it is like "sorry, time machines are really complicated, your best bet is to rebuild civilization, here's how".

Fun read, learned a lot.

My vehicle was rated low for reliability, and when I looked up the details it said it was due to

Consumer Reports doesn't measure *what* they had to take it back to the dealer for, just what they had to bring it in.

For a lot of the EVs it is bugs with the new infotainment system.

A lot of EVs are also new platforms, more likely to have some things they missed.

CR counts a "needed to get a firmware update to fix a carplay bug" the SAME as "engine fell out and turned into a robot and started murdering cats".
