@cryptosbrokest@HansCNelson@ZacksJerryRig@dwr I think because they radiate from both sides it‘ll be 220 m2 but Im unsure. Also obviously they will, like the solar panels, be able to rotate, minimizing cross section area in the sun (will only be a few m2). I think the spacex engineers know what theyre doing…
@AbolishPainMvmt@tenobrus This is Opus 4.6, for comparison. Truly a regression. What in the 4o did they do to this model??
It must be the OpenAI people that have been coming over to Anthropic in the last months..
@aids_zero81529@RAWigger Also, what does confirmation bias have to do with a study coming to a conclusion? How exactly would confirmation bias have influenced this?
@aids_zero81529@RAWigger Huh?? This is what's in the study: "Most ... black babies fight this maneuver by immediately turning away or swiping at the cloth with their hands..." The study itself was actually about comparing Whites vs. Chinese, the thing with the African babies was more of a side fact
@portella0@zippkode@bitcloud No, right now its not really a hardware problem but a software problem still. Like, the humanoid robots are at this point, if teleoperated definitely capable of doing your laundry or dishes, just not by themselves. So its an AI problem.
@alligator435@Scorniro1@selinii778@gloefflmann surely the glazed chinese slopcubes look very good, but ask anyone that has actually ever eaten them and they'll all tell you it's pretty bad

@aawoogie I’ve spent half of my life in Italy and half of my life in China and tbh Europe is a clear winner here. China is better at presenting bread (subjectively), but if we’re talking quality, no, artisanal bread in Europe is superior by a lot
And I say this as a huge China shiller
A lot of people seem to think that, while genetic differences across populations exist, our choice of racial categories is totally arbitrary, that we carved up a flat landscape at random. This is not true. Genetic cluster analysis rediscovers folk racial categories from first principles.
Of course, we could choose to be more granular. This would then give us a higher-resolution set of categories that is also recognizable (White breaks into Germanic, Slavic, etc). That’s fine. There are clusters within clusters. No level of granularity is “correct” or “incorrect”, they’re just different. But at any given resolution, there will be correct categories, and those categories track folk notions of race and then ethnicity quite well.
Someone jokingly said I was claiming to have DNA x-ray vision, but obviously we do have that: we can see phenotypes that are obviously genetic, not environmental, in origin, and notice that certain groups of such phenotypes cluster together. Now we have powerful enough tools and datasets to confirm in a rigorous way what is, in fact, obvious to anyone with eyeballs.
Whenever you’re facing a leftist cognitive frag grenade like “social constructs aren’t real,” it’s useful to dissect the core claim beneath their words. It’s a common tactic of theirs to hide easily refutable absurdities using pseudo-intellectual confusion spells, but these are easy to defend against with some practice.
As a case study: the leftist below claims that race isn’t real because it’s a socially constructed, arbitrary fence around a complex & continuous reality (genes). But this describes every human concept and word — language itself is an attempt to “ring fence” reality (i.e. compress it, discretize it) so that we can make sense of it.
For example: color names are social constructs. Color is a continuous spectrum; we divided it up into neighborhoods called “blue” and “green” so that we could talk about color. I can tell you that the sky is blue or the grass is green, and you’ll know with reasonable accuracy what I mean by that.
But color boundaries are fuzzy — people often vehemently disagree about whether shades of turquoise are blue or green. Following the leftist’s argument, this means that neither blue nor green exist. Colors cannot be named or talked about because it requires us to “ring fence” the color spectrum.
Expanding the argument, this means that sense making itself — which always requires discretizing & compressing a continuous reality — is invalid. Human thought itself is an impossible project. Reality is an incomprehensible soup that can only be experienced and never named. The very words the leftist used to communicate this to me are impossible, nothing but empty pointers.
This is obviously retarded, given that our compressed & discretized world models are truthful enough to allow us to shape & predict the physical world. We have inventions that work; we can move around and interact with our environment effectively. Our brains evolved to compress reality in ways that increase our survival, which could only work if the compression is at least somewhat faithful.
To deny that race exists because it’s socially constructed is to deny that anything exists at all. This is a worthless assertion that can simply be laughed at and dismissed
@DawgAndSoul@Haunt0ntology@joeybeastmarket@campnickiana@Catholicizm1 K-means clustering, which contains multiple „ethnicities“, lines up with the generally perceived number of races very well, and… also with the number of isolated large landmasses.
Only since very modern transportation innovations has „race mixing“ occured on a large scale.
