That’s not a biological change.

That would imply a biological change in all humans in the last ~3000 years after humans had already dispersed across the entire globe?

That means whatever the change was would have to had occur simultaneously in separate populations all over the world within almost no time at all.

The subjective experience doesn’t really matter because many places in the US will experience a 100 degree F range over an entire year. So it’s not the “comfortable range” but the actual range you’ll get in many parts of the US (whether you like it or not).

I quite like Fahrenheit. The 0 to 100F (-17 to 37C) range perfectly encapsulates the range of outdoor temperatures I expect to encounter during the year. If the forecast is outside that range, it’s going to be miserable.

Well it’s definitely not 97 K, it’s definitely not 97 C, so it’s probably 97 F which would put it in the same general ballpark as nearly all terrestrial vertebrates.

I’m closer to Annapolis annd Ft. Meade and we have two huge self-storage facilities that just opened up within a month less than a mile from each other.

There’s lots of military folks around here so maybe people are more likely around here to store stuff for a few years if they get deployed somewhere else and plan to move the family back after? I dunno.

I’ve used self-storage twice in my life: once in college over the summer before moving into a new apartment the next school year and once when we had our first child about a year before moving to a new city and larger house, which let us make room for baby stuff while keeping things we’d use when we had more space.

The cool thing about open source is anyone can fork it and spend their own money asking AI to make a fix.

“Forever” is a long time. That’s quite the claim.

If you’re in the midst of some kind of crisis, whether physical or mental, it’s somewhere safe you can go that’s available 24/7.

From there they can keep you safe until you’re stabilized (physically or mentally) and then refer you to specialists or hospitalize you.

But how was the 9 year old able to do any of this unless they had access to some account?

It says his son also used it, so he gave a 9 year old access to it. Same difference.

There are so many things wrong with this story before you even get to the headline.

From the information in the article, I can’t really blame Google for this one. This was a series of deliberate blunders on the part of the father. The first blunder was letting a 9 year old have a YouTube account.

Putting aside whether a 9 year old should be making videos, the father should have been the one with the account and managing the channel.

My wife and I both just stopped wearing our wedding bands, and it turns out you’re still married even if you’re not wearing the ring. Also we just have simple gold bands so we never spent much on them in the first place.

No kidding. If they won’t pick up the phone to take my business, imagine when I’m calling after they already have my money.

None of them are smart enough for that. They think of themselves as Thufir but really they hold power because they’re more like Rabban.

Makes wonder what kind of absolute batshit crazies it’s supposed to be targeting?

We are autonomous because we have free will to choose our actions, and we may choose to do so at any time between our birth and death.

If you don’t believe in free will then nothing is autonomous.

Why focus only on big, showy acts of violence? Christian-influenced violence happens countless of times everyday, such as a gay kid getting beat up because some other kids hear their pastor maligning him every week. Christian violence happens every day.

But it never starts doing anything until someone or something prompts it. It doesn’t even exist until you ask it to do something.

It is autonomous in the sense it can continue to function without supervision after the operator has started it, in the same way countless programs on your computer are “autonomous”.

But it can never choose to begin doing something at any time of its own volition. It does not have “autonomy” like a human does.

Unfortunately at this point I assume that everything I see online is fake until I have a good reason to think otherwise.

Apart for the fact they'll be hawking obvious scam bullshit.

The AI-generated video ads are getting really bizarre on YouTube. There's class of them that feature some AI-generated song with AI-generated animated characters. One song began with lyrics about having sex with a Jewish billionaire's wife and learning some secret (at which point I was able to skip the ad) and another is some grotesque looking creature singing about foamy urine.

Normally I have an ad-blocker and don't see any ads, but I happened to be using the YouTube app recently on my iPad so I was subjected to this insanity.

I guess scammer money is as green as anyone else's.

But look on the bright side, now anyone can vibe-code their own, personalized to-do app. This is just the price we pay for progress.

We could solve even more crimes if the police were allowed to install cameras in everyone's homes.

Law enforcement.

Something being an accident does not necessarily preclude negligence.

People in the Amazon do eat tarantulas. They do roast them over an open flame first though to burn off the hairs as they can be harmful and irritating.

Don’t worry, my kids eat the skin too. I guess we forgot to tell them not to and they didn’t find it unpleasant. I tried a bite for my own edification and I did not find it pleasant.

That said, I usually eat peanuts with the shell and all. Though don’t eat too many that way, the shells are definitely not getting digested, so chew well. Also there is probably a higher chance of dirt or other stuff you don’t want to eat being on the shell, but I don’t usually eat peanuts anyway so never been a problem for me.

Not familiar with that one at all, was it also a doom conversion? I’ll have to check it out.

The concept reminds of Chex Quest, a Doom total conversion based on Chex, the cereal brand.

I loved playing it when I was 8 or so.

Because my 12 mini still works just fine and I haven’t needed a new phone yet.
