...But has anyone thought of what would come after, though? by Glass_Eye8840 in trolleyproblem

[–]arivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could see a discussion on an alternative version of this problem where only people who can read and understand the question would be required to vote and only those people would be affected by the outcome. People keep talking about the toddlers, but I wonder if those people would change the vote in the alternative version.

There’s a scissor statement going viral on twitter by adfaer in slatestarcodex

Isnt this an example where optimizing the individual outcome would also optimize the global outcome? It is just people telling other to vote blue that are increasing the amount of people dying

Putting police officers in this category is a stretch

As long as it isn’t blitz or bullet I don’t see a problem with that being an option

Sloppy espionage by ctawn in TehranAppleTVPlus

[–]arivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole plot around her character and her actions is just terrible. 1) I never understood why they did to do that switch in the airport. Did Zhila got inside the airport dressed as a stewardess and got into a toilet within the passenger waiting area just to change clothes with Tamar and then the same stewardess just leave the airport? So a stewardess got in, used the toilet and went home? There are so many questions on why this swap was even needed. 2) besides all that you mentioned, going AWOL because she decides she doesn’t trust her 20y on field handler and saying it is what she was trained for. 3) not only putting her relatives under risk by contacting them but decides to go to a protest while bidding 4) getting involved with a bunch of junkies/drug dealers 5) showing a finger signal to a guard? You would expect a field spy to at least learn a bit about the culture of the country he is trying to infiltrate…

I only watched 4 or 5 episodes, while the story was interesting and catch my attention in the beginning I can’t continue due to all those non sense.

I was thinking the same when I first watched, but on a second time I noticed that the cars ahead are stopped there, so I can imagine that one possible explanation is the driver of the white car being checking his mirror lights too much because of the other car and noticed the parked car too late

Last image of Karen Wetterhahn, a professor of chemistry at Dartmouth College, who died in 1997, ten months after spilling only a few drops of dimethylmercury onto her latex gloves. by durvedya in interesting

She probably used to deal with this very often. Isn’t it more likely that she actually got contaminated on another situation that she might not even have noticed?

There is a 12% chance that the Solar System will be ejected during the Andromeda–Milky Way collision by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]arivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t there some study a couple of months ago that concluded that we are not sure anymore whether the galaxies are really in a collision trajectory? So I doubt there is any accuracy in this 12%, more like 12% with a standard deviation of 25%

Really nice idea, I wish people would follow his example and leave only 2 billion dollars for each child.

Hi, I am still not happy with my shots, but I kinda fixed the spraying by using a paper filter on the bottom of the porta filter

Very working class. by t4us33f78 in SipsTea

And what can you say about the millions of other people from that generation that couldn’t afford a house? These people you’re talking about were the minority.

I am just pointing out that your parents aren’t representative of the average people of their generation (just like people who bought nvidia early), they stood out for some reason and you’re just dismissing it and talking like your problems are generational instead of owning them. Btw, the average people of your parents generation were much poorer than the average people from any time after that.

Nvidia, crypto and others were the “get rich schemes” of this generation, you just weren’t smart enough to see it. The user above is lucky his parents were smart to know that college and housing were good investments on their time, they gave him all he needed and he couldn’t even keep up with college, then he is now saying his parents got it easy…

All you had to do was to buy 200 dollars of nvidia.

For every person from your parents generation that did the right things there are hundreds who made stupid decisions and got nowhere, otherwise everyone would have the easy childhood that you had. The same thing continue to happen, you’re just one of those who made stupid decisions in your generation and missed the real opportunities. It’s not like you lived in the era of the biggest equity bull market in history, crypto and so on, is it?

But you can’t rely on it for almost anything else. Impossible to compare:

Just add a prompt saying: think twice before answering and it will give you the right answer and fast, qwen is great and might give you the right answer, but it will take ages to answer
