You misunderstand. I do not take issue with anything that’s written in the scientific paper. What I take issue with is how the paper is marketed to the general public. When you read the article you will see that it does not claim to “proof” that these models cannot reason. It merely points out some strengths and weaknesses of the models.

I mean… “proving” is also just marketing speak. There is no clear definition of reasoning, so there’s also no way to prove or disprove that something/someone reasons.

This answer makes no sense. Sound comes in waves with crests and throughs. In a controlled setting you can harmonize which effectively matches crests to crests and throughs to throughs. This happens in music with choirs, orchestra etc. In that case indeed sounds adds up.

However, with many random sources at many random frequencies you just get chaotic patterns where sound sometimes cancels out and sometimes adds up. No way that the overall result of this is that it adds up in dB. My first approximation would be that if one source emits 1dB and another also emits 1dB, these roughly add up to 1dB.

A very easy test of this is whether you now hear a very loud buzzing in your ear because at this very moment many people talk at the same time. I guess you know the answer.

Yes indeed. You should ask your parents about the aunts and uncles you would have had if only smartphones had been invented 2 decades earlier. I am sure they will have tons of stories to tell /s.

Lol… yes my classmates died en masse.

Doesn’t that take a ton of CPU/Memory?

Very nice explanation and only nitpicking, but saying that Thorium is much much safer than uranium implies that uranium nuclear plants are unsafe. In reality uranium nuclear power has one of the best safety records in energy production.

Yeah, because tariffs are only reserved to large competitors on the world stage like, check notes, Canada?

It must be horrific to talk to Trump in person. He smells horrible, his moods swing constantly, he has incredibly stupid takes on issues you are an expert in, and he requires constant praise. If you take your hot wife with you he’ll be ogling her constantly. Nurses probably go out of their way to see another patient when he’s at the hospital.

Now you are one of the richest men in the world, and you have to pretend you like him. I mean, something must be seriously wrong with you if you got fuck-you money and still degrade yourself to those levels.

Also, because these investments are long-term when the tariffs are likely to only be short term.

I chose to see this as a glass half full situation. I hope that in four years we see this speech as a starting point in which the Dems run on a platform of economic populism.

You may call me overly optimistic. However, the reason I am even remotely hopeful is that the very rich (and the media they own) are fully realigning with the GOP. This means Democrats will receive far less large donations in the future, and things will get shaken up, whether leadership likes it or not.

The main part of the message that pissed me off was the idea that GOP sides with the “little guy”. First, it’s demonstrably false. Second, he is a tech CEO. He wouldn’t recognise a little guy before his security crew has time to forcibly remove him.

Wait what? The whole point of exponential growth is that all it’s derivatives/integrals are also exponential.

Out of the loop here, so let me get this straight: Did they build gender-neutral bathrooms that are now gendered by placing a sticker on the door? What on earth could be the purpose of that?

It seems like you don’t care about what people think, conditional on them being somewhat accepting of your choices. For instance, until recently you could easily lose your job because students/parents found out you are gay. Trans people still face this reality in many states, and we are currently much more likely to regress than to progress.

With regard to the toilet: especially female-to-male trans people face a big issue that they look male (and are hence considered predators in female toilets), but are banned from using male toilets. This may seem like a minor issue if you aren’t affected, but in practice it’s a big deal.

Weird question. You aren’t affected by it, until you are I guess. For instance, can you take your partner to company events where others bring their partners? Can you take the toilet that fits your gender identity? How will your boss/coworkers feel about you when they inevitably find out about your sexual orientation? Nice that you think you can separate your identity from your job, but let’s see how your coworkers feel.

I know this is not a complete list, but what about instances Lemmy? Would be very interesting to have conversations with Chinese behind the great Firewall!

Illinois is the real loser here.
