I think the last two are more general, just cryptocurrency and generative AI respectively.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about in that case, could you clarify?

I’m not sure about that, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24k years and uranium-235’s is far longer.

Then again, theres about 13 undiscovered, lost, still armed nuclear bombs that the Americans lost in test drops. Mostly dropped into oceans, they’ve been deteriorating away for 70ish years. Wherever they are an earthquake could set them off. Maybe an aggressive shark. The point is, there are 13 points which we KNOW at some point, will set off a WWII era atomic bomb. This will have an unknown outcome, 13 different times. Any one of which might end Earth. Or maybe it causes some tidal waves. No one knows.

This is completely wrong. Lost nuclear bombs are not going to be functional in the slightest after decades, as they require very precisely timed detonation of explosive charges to actually trigger the main fission reaction. They’re not like chemical bombs, which will explode with enough heat or pressure. And after decades the circuitry to control the explosive charges will be long dead.

True, though bonking it really hard is probably going to be less complex in most cases.

We do have the technology to redirect a potentially extinction-level asteroid, so I don’t think it would be all doom and gloom. More like a scramble to launch a redirect mission. (And besides Apophis isn’t large enough to cause an extinction event, just destroy a country or two).

That’s what you get when you train an AI that can’t tell the difference between fact and fiction to give “correct” information from the internet. It’s also pulling from Reddit and telling people to jump off a bridge.

Did you mean to leak your email in that screenshot?

I hear WebP can often offer much better compression than PNG in lossless mode so that could be an alternative.

This isn’t a graph, it’s a phylogenetic tree. It doesn’t need units or labeled axes (and they wouldn’t make much sense anyways).

How about my least popular comment?

What about mine?

According to this Stack Exchange answer, glass reflects around 4-100% of the UV in sunlight depending on the angle of incidence. So you could probably get a sunburn if the angle is low enough (like if the Sun is almost directly overhead and reflecting off a vertical window).

This is really amazing technology.

From what I know that is somewhat true, the current will disperse through the water relatively uniformly. But it’ll still create voltage gradients that will probably kill any fish nearby.

To be fair to them, that is pretty close to how immunity actually works. Not quite there though.

Better than eating a full sized SD card, at least.

Would be interesting to set up email servers on some of the more popular instances and see how much traffic they’re actually getting.

Yeah they can’t really be seen through clouds aside from maybe the clouds looking slightly brighter.
