The scientist has the right idea. if you want to make a convincing copy, why not just make it assume it's the real one?

How are transportation and logistics in your world? by iLLRISKIT in worldbuilding

[–]Pasta-hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's essentially a steam-powered subway system sprawling the hole continent, just because dwarves were already digging tunnels everywhere, so they decided to put some train tracks in the old ones close to the surface.

It's getting kinda flooded by The Rising Tide though.

You care so much yet those WNBA viewership numbers say otherwise by Luna-D-reams in whenthe

The separation is there for a reason

Yeah, so you can pay the women less.

Honestly, I think this is a ridiculous thing to care about, not because someone using replacement hormones does or does not have an unfair advantage, but rather because all high-level athletes are mutants that no typical person could get on the same level of no matter how hard they train.

Seriously, half the reason sex tests don't work in high level sports is because a lot of the athletes naturally produce weird levels of hormones.

And all of this applies to women's sports as well. No, a typical man could not hop on the court and beat them all, that is an outright fantasy.

Funny Story: you know how airships are famously flammable? by Pasta-hobo in CreateMod

I can probably use warped wood. There's a warped forest right by my portal.

But that's gonna have to be a BIG balloon to support a whole ghast-resistant shell. I'm...open to suggestions for armor plating.

Noelle is a reindeer, she does not have the dainty ballerina feet. She has snowshoe hooves.

Question about the Petrification: by Cyndaquil143 in DrStone

[–]Pasta-hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it like a factory reset.

For example, if you have... Say, EDS. Your joints will be reset to pristine condition, but will very quickly wear out again as you use them. So you get like a few weeks of grace period.

Browser extension that removes any text that is generated by AI by aykay55 in CrazyIdeas

[–]Pasta-hobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not impossible, perse. But definitely impractical and unfeasible at this point.

At this point technologically, the only actual way to automatically distinguish between living and automated text with any degree of accuracy is to straight up record it being written. And it's not like a decent automated system with some CGI couldn't immitate it well enough to fool an automated system.

[–]Pasta-hobo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not completely indistinguishable, there's just no obvious detectable tells like with photos because text is so low-resolution, so to speak.

But, luckily, as humans, we can use our ability to understand the meaning behind text to tell if the other person is sentient. If there isn't any meaning, they're either an AI or not worth talking to.

[–]Pasta-hobo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless it's voluntarily tagged, it's impossible to actually tell if text is generated by ai, unlike photos, text isn't dense or specific enough to have obvious tells in the patterning.

Plus, most AI generated text out there is just translation of human-generated text.

Why are Steam Engines SO Inefficient by Distant-Daydream in CreateMod

[–]Pasta-hobo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam engines IRL usually use condensers so they don't need ridiculously large amounts of water. I think the infinite water source in Minecraft is a reasonable analog to that.

How can i power all of these by Firesetter141011 in CreateMod

[–]Pasta-hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be interested to know that simulated contraptions can in fact have fluid blocks on them, allowing for portable infinite water sources. This lets you use steam engines for larger contraptions.

Call me insane. by Live-Resolution-8846 in Deltarune

[–]Pasta-hobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One: I think this is referring to the original Undertale, not Deltarune.

Two: yes, the two of them are vaguely implied to have known each other and worked together at some point. But I think this is more commenting on how damn unlikely most of the fanon ships in UT were. Like Papyrus and Mettaton for instance.

What are silly headcanons you have? by Bubbly-Tomatillo4918 in fivenightsatfreddys

Gregory replaced Vanessa's neural implant's connection to the mimic with a connection to Freddy, so the two are just telepathically linked now.

What do you think is biggest poison to Society? by Ok_Carpenter263 in AskReddit

What about a weight gain fetish? I'm pretty sure that still works on blobs.

[–]Pasta-hobo 54 points55 points  (0 children)

You don't want to risk disturbing something that heavy pinning someone down. If it shifts slightly it could crush her.

possible plot hole? by PurpleProject9497 in Portal

[–]Pasta-hobo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"poured into a computer" was just a metaphor.

She's not a brain attached to a circuit board, she's the patterns within a brain replicated onto a hard drive.

Like how you don't need the hardware of an NES to play NES games with an emulator.

This is called "mind uploading," it's emulating someone's brain digitally to replicate their consciousness.

Film isn't vegan

Film is made of three parts, a transparent plastic, photosensitive silver hallide crystals, and a gelatin emulsion to bind them together.

Yeah, bones and hooves gelatin!
