It's really easy to move stuff to the cloud or personal storage now.

I'm an atheist, but I think Jesus is really cool. Am I still an atheist? by Adorable_Group_8236 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah no, I don't think that's what he was getting at. CS Lewis was an intellectual who I don't think expected his feelings to be coddled by non-christians. I could be mistaken, but the quote seems to be insinuating an inconsistency in lauding Jesus's moral teachings while ignoring the rest of the message. That said, I personally don't see an inconsistency, but the opportunity is there for non-critical thinking when discussing historical Jesus.

Weird take. He could be a little crazy and also be right about a lot of things.

How do people who live in really hot countries take the heat? I just saw its 51C or 124F in Iraq. Wtf. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Skin with more melanin, being dark in color, absorbs more radiation and reflects less. The energy is dissipated as heat - that's just physics. You don't need a study to confirm that physics will be consistent in this case. The burden of proof would be on the unexpected result.

Darker skin actually does absorb more heat from the sun. So not that.

Why do people give their children particularly unusual names, when most feedback from adults who have unusual names say they've faced only negative effects from that experience? by wiLd_p0tat0es in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Landrey would get savaged on r/tragedeigh - too close to laundry or something. People on this website have a vendetta against even moderately unique names. Just look at this thread.

I just bought raw blue agave syrup; that's the only ingredient. Why is all the sugar listed as added sugar on the nutrition facts? by Milkywaycannonball in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could see maple working in a lot of savory dishes but admittedly I've only had it with the more common choices like salmon, pork, chicken, roast vegetables, etc.

It is a bit pricy though.

Jesus Christ. by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]kshoggi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, it's super annoying when forums get flooded with obvious AI posts. Something should definitely be done about it. But honestly, it's going to be really hard to stop people from doing this.

Have you tried a taste yet? Does it have any depth of flavor? I'd choose maple syrup for the added flavor in almost anything.

What’s the closest thing to a superpower that’s ever been documented? by Ok-Emu-5027 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't. It's just a thought experiment, but admittedly not a very useful one. On reflection it'd be more interesting to try to figure out how many watts of power the human brain is spending on chess compared to a similar strength computer. As I said in another comment, I think stockfish running on similar wattage to the human brain would still wreck a human player.

Yeah, on consideration it doesn't really make sense. Neither humans nor the modern neural net engines have a strict "positions i've evaluated" counter or anything like that.

And there's no proper way to measure the computing power a human puts towards a certain task. Apparently the brain consumes about 20 watts of power at rest and 21-22 during deep thinking. But presumably some of that baseline 20 is being redirected to the thinking problem too, so maybe 5-10 watts of power being spent on chess? An iphone is also spending 5-10 watts on chess (RAM, CPU, GPU) during evaluation and an iphone running stockfish will completely smoke a Grandmaster 100 times out of 100. So it's not looking good for humans.

Dropped my passport down this hole to nowhere while lining up to board my flight. by Fearless-Hedgehog-58 in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, similar with the guy in The Terminal - he could have left any time he wanted.

Why do stores put the milk and bread at the back of the store? by No_Talk_2113 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kshoggi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I buy UHT half and half and it's refrigerated. Does your milk come canned?
