Ah, that's the quote. It's been a while. Guess I need to rewatch it

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!!??!?!?11

All the information it is possible to glean or infer from a file outside its actual contents. Things like:

File type, size, time and frequency of use (importance), the IP address/location of the user and anyone it has been shared with, the language it uses, etc...

Without even a database of all your data, it is possible to look at a large spreadsheet file and make an educated guess whether or not it is an important file whose user is educated, Western (based on language preference) and likely middle-aged (Excel vs. Google Spreadsheet), who is using it for budgeting or database purposes (based on size and frequency of use).

And methane for some.

Cat be all lookin like "aw yeah, that's the good stuff right there".

Ominous foreshadowing.

>You get a more accurate result if you actually average out the entire month

Not necessarily. Months very in their length if accuracy is your argument so what you're really saying is convert to annual and compare that way. This... is an option ofc.

In practice many don't have a choice BUT to be paid weekly or bi-weekly and are living paycheck to weekly paycheck (and consequently need to budget the most). Additionally, a lot of expenses are budgeted weekly despite longer terms being better for the math. The individual may know they can eat out once a weekend and also want to know how much they can afford to spend on entertainment that week. Car loan amortized weekly?

;tldr this is how you can do it if you need to but, shocker, there's more than one way to do math if you don't.

For when combining weekly income and expenses with monthly.

Weekly expenses (fuel, food, etc.) * 4.345 + Monthly Expenses (rent, loans/CC, ISP, etc.) = Total Monthly Expenses

Weekly Income (avg.) * 4.345 = Total Monthly Income.

Compare the 2 to see how F'd you are.

not like that ugly gross. Who needs that!

and my axe!

An interesting thought, but what I find more interesting is how strongly opposed it has been. For me, the furor of the debate has been more eye opening than the instigating technically true statement.

How do you kill that which has no life?

>We all use calculators, but the education system made sure we understood addition and multiplication first.

FTFY

First year courses, where the critical goal of the class is to ensure the student understands the concepts (for example of how to write an essay), should not allow AI to write their assignments. Once these core skills have been learned and demonstrated I see no issue using ChatGPT and the like. If and when it fucks up you know better and can fix it and are responsible if you don't, just like in the real world.

That didn't speak when interrogated.

Not for this racket

Okay, now I know I'm getting old. I don't know if "Anti-Woke" means being against over-the-top white knighting or in support of discrimination.

Come! Join the Bark Side!

Remember that the melt water is also interacting with the warm air as well. It's not the temperature difference that matters so much as the huge difference in the frequency of interactions between gases and liquids which is why water will outpace air here.

FTR I've done this experiment myself using a consumer cooler and blocks of ice. The portion of the ice that is exposed to the water visibly melts/shrinks faster than the exposed ice. A cube of ice sitting on a sheet of plastic mesh will last much longer than the same sized ice cube sitting on the bottom of the cooler (the little puddle it starts to form almost literally gobbles it up).

Want to cool a can of soda fast? Don't plop it in a pile of Ice alone. Add water to the ice and even though you've definitely added heat to the system the rate of the soda's temperature reduction will be vastly quicker.

Edit: and by cool in my previous statement I don't mean literal measurable change in temperature. If the ice is melting both it and the water are at 0deg C. It is the Heat of Fusion that is being transferred that I'm referring to.

Editted to avoid unpleasant imagery per Headinthecows :P

No Good Boy left behind

I just hope his neighbors aren't bitter about it.

The shell of the previous nut: "Loosened it for you".

My take on it is this: Say on the resume the applicant misspelt ask as aks. The AI might rule out the resume due to the spelling error suggesting a low quality / careless applicant. The problem is if the AI starts correlating the misspelling of aks to certain cultural groups that do this normally and consequently associates that group with the 'careless' behaviour by default.

One Tuna to Rule them All

I'll piggy back on this to supplement the evolutionary reasons for this.

Mammals, birds, and fish all use sexual selection as a primary basis for their reproductive process. Demonstrating you are an exceptional member of your species is vital to attracting a mate and reproducing successfully. Typically, a Male of a species competes with others for the attentions of the choosy female. To do so they must prove they are stronger, faster, smarter, better fed, and generally more capable of supporting and/or protecting the dependent female than their competitors, or at the very least that his genes are worth the significant female energy investment to bearing offspring.

In the mammalian world, these competitions are best done in a way that is synergistic with survival demands. What better way to prove you can survive better than an opponent than to overcome them in some physical contest: Fight, be bigger, thump louder, etc. often while demonstrating a handicap that accentuates your ability to overcome (think Ginormous antlers that take a lot of food and energy to make and whose weight alone is a hinderance)? Even if you lose this contest you'll survive, learn from the experience, and the innate toughness it required in the first place makes you better to survive in the wild generally speaking.

Birds cannot tolerate the physical stresses of violent competition because the physics they rely on do not allow their skeletons to support it. It would be way to easy for hollow bird bones to break turning a fight lethal 90% of the time. How to compete then? For them, physical indicators are better: bright colourful pigmentation is energy intensive to produce. It will fade if the male is malnourished. It also reveals the presence of disease or parasites. The disadvantage of being so visible proves you are cunning as you're still alive despite it. Coupled with other attributes and performances this allows males to compete with Displays instead of fighting, for a much more survivable experience.

The reasons behind Fish colouration are less clear afaik. Best guesses are that the particular colour pattern of a fish allows them to camouflage in their colourful environment better.

Mel Gibson? Really?
