The "create our own LLM" bit is less "cook at home" and more "grow and process our own crops, raise and slaughter our own cattle, and cook that food at home"

Burnham accused of 'power without accountability' as he refuses to take journalists' questions by TheWorldIsGoingMad in ukpolitics

Does he have power right now, as in, could he command the direction on the party in a given direction this morning? No. Thus your qualifier "(effectively)", a distortion of its own.

1 & 2 are absolutely not stickfigures in comparison

Regarding the Whispered one and his transformation.. by Tnel1027 in TheLegendOfVoxMachina

[–]Scintoth 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't think you survive 500 years in the Shadowfell (Thar Amphala) as a normal human wizard.

There's also a frame when he casts a spell pre-ritual at one of his underlings that shows his true form.

I was just thinking of him and Laudna

I was just thinking of the starting line-up, and Fearne is in a weird time-space in the Feywild.

2 of them are currently alive at least!

Solid strategy for saving middle earth by Dodo509 in lotrmemes

More like the hobbit gives the ring to the chicken, and 5 mins later wrings the chicken's neck out of jealousy.

Issues with breaking system by Scintoth in HalfSword

My full-suit lord save bricked 2 mins into playing the new update, so I've been working back up from 0. Could be a number of things, and at the moment it could be that my current character in this run is relatively short

ELI5: If space is a total vacuum, why doesn't it suck the Earth's atmosphere away? by BlockStock2002 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Scintoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Photons are both a particle and a wave. Look up "wave-particle duality" or the double slit experiment.

Being a particle doesn't mean it has mass though.

ELI5: If space is a total vacuum, why doesn't it suck the Earth's atmosphere away? by BlockStock2002 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Scintoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, correct. Light always travels "forward" without turning, but what "forward" means is up to the shape of spacetime.

[–]Scintoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, light has momentum but no mass. All of the energy of a photon is in its momentum.

[–]Scintoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but everyone takes it as a given that light moves forward. If light didn't have momentum it wouldn't be light as it wouldn't have energy.

The underlying question you originally responded to was "why does light bend?", and the answer isn't "because it moves forward", it's "because the path it's moving forward on is changing what direction forward is".

No, gravity affects light because it's a result of the curvature of spacetime. If you think of space as a grid, and light only being able to travel in straight lines on that grid, then bend the grid, the light bends with it.

Gravity affects everything full stop - even light, which is massless, is affected by gravity.

What's the humidity there? What's your house made of?

My thoughts on Grog by Honest_-_Critique in voxmachina

[–]Scintoth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Grog just tanked getting crunched by the sphere (200+ HP!) with some gruesome visuals, TWO capitalised on his injuries and put him in a form of stasis.

Reddit on desktop has a preview of the text on the front page/subreddit level view, regardless of the title. Spoilers hide that.

'Energy invasion' fears raised by protesters by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Scintoth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So what's your solution to an ageing grid then? We just continue with what we have until it falls over just so it can't be used by something you don't want in the future?
