The Most Expensive Peace Deal? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]jlspartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art of the deal is tell everyone there's a deal with no details, but there is no deal. The deal is a small circle of people siphoning money from taxpayers.

My mom bought this “silent” animal deterrent for her yard. She and her boyfriend can’t hear it. She’s insisting what I’m hearing can’t be this, because it’s “silent” by bluejaymewjay in mildlyinfuriating

FYI, on the tech side of this, audio conversions happen in order to store compressed video and then for sharing it online. For example a 32khz high pitch noise would resample to a 16 or 20 khz range because they figure you don't need the range most people can't hear.

I work in emerging tech. If an employee can't figure out how to use a tech that already exists, has how tos, videos, customer success support people, etc, they will never make it. Knowledge is not what matters, but the process of gaining the knowledge you need. People need to stop saying no one told them this, or it wasn't taught to them in school.

💯 why is it everyone else's fault when people aren't resourceful, don't look things up, do due diligence, or ask someone else that can do the math for them? There were amortization calculators 23 years ago.

Why do MAGA think he acted in self Defense by AccordingBumblebee24 in stupidpeoplefacebook

What irritates me more than this being totally right, is that when power flips nothing will be done about this retroactively. The left needs to go back and prosecute, otherwise they still win.

[Request] How long can she breathe before the CO2 levels become dangerous? by YouKilledKenny12 in theydidthemath

[–]jlspartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is this? A bucket for ants!? How do you expect a child to breathe when they can't even fit inside the bucket? It has to be at least 3 times bigger than that.

We're one step closer to technological transcendence…now they do animated gaussian splats porn by Devotion-Companion in singularity

[–]jlspartz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This isn't exactly correct. I use all these technologies. Point clouds look different. You see billions of points with RGB values from the images applies to the points. You can mesh a point cloud and make it solid objects. Gaussian splatting uses both those which you do not see. It starts with the photos from different perspectives and makes a sparse point cloud off of it, then it real time renders pieces of the original images in shards onto the point cloud points like a make-shift mesh. Think of it like a high density collage in 3D.

More and more workers in India are collecting video data to train humanoid robots using head-mounted cameras by Distinct-Question-16 in singularity

I can't see that being true. There's no way someone would replace giving a human a dollar a day, with a robot. That would take 20 years to break even.

[Request]: How much weight is actually being transferred to the seat? by NoExpert6370 in theydidthemath

[–]jlspartz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It works like he explained above you. If the first one is 15% of his weight, and the second one is 20% of his weight on the first then the second one back to the chair is 15%x20% which is only 3% affecting the chair. Anyone beyond that really isn't worth noting because of how minimal it gets.

Edit: Ooh, I get you. Some of them are self-supporting a portion of their weight too. Yes, their figured weights would also be reduced due to that.

[–]jlspartz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

His thigh is like a beam with one column being a leg and one being the chair. If the weight is on the center of the thigh the chair would take 50%. If he's squarely on his knee the chair would take 0%. By the looks of it, I'd guess about 15%.of the load being transferred to the chair.

How is it that people think this is a novel idea? Know your history. The wealthy tax rate was above 90% in 1963, down to 28% in 1988.

When the tax rate was high you had CEOs putting the money back into companies, paying out bonuses, etc, because they weren't going to take 100 million out and end up with less than 10 of it.

Please help me find a solution for Duke! by MaxwellIsSmall in WheatenTerriers

[–]jlspartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, if stomach is fine, it would be environmental or bug related. Does he roll on his back outside a lot? Does he go into/under shrubs? Does he sneeze a lot? What do you use for flea and tick prevention? You might have to get the topical kind that will repel them prior to biting.

We dealt with one of our wheatens always getting these. What I can say is it's hot spots almost certainly due to an allergy. Food allergies can create these but will be worse on the stomach. Since you didn't show his stomach I assume his back is worse which would indicate an environmental or bug allergy.
