Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task

Reply in thread

Although it's easy to "create" pseudo-science with EEG data, the presence of EEG by itself does not mean straight pseudo-science. It can be used correctly, and it's actively used in the medical field to detect brain diseases, for example.

*That said, I'm not saying the study here is to be believed, I have not read it, just commenting on EEG

Yeah, did people forget the last big Cloudflare outage already? A good chunk of all big services went down simultaneously. Discord, Amazon, Twitter and even the PS and Xbox consoles networks lmao.

New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code

Reply in thread

Too many people think because something finally “works”, it’s good. Once your AI has written code that seems to work, that’s supposed to be when the human starts their work.

Holy shit, preach!

Once you give a shit ton of prompts and the feature finally starts working, the code is most likely complete ass, probably filled with a ton of useless leftovers from previous iterations, redundant and unoptimized code. That's when you start reading/understanding the code and polishing it, not when you ship it lol

Space

Reply in thread

Hollywood showing things instantly exploding or shattering the second they hit a vacuum does that to us, but the actual physics of space and the biology of cells are a lot tougher than the films make it seem.

Neither the human body nor the bacteria inside it would burst, and the cold space environment behaves much differently than some expect lol

The pressure difference between the inside of a human body and the vacuum of space is exactly 1 atmosphere (which is not that much in the grand scheme of things).

And bacteria are tiny tanks, because they are microscopical, the physical forces acting on them are minuscule. Scientists have tested exposing bacteria directly to the vacuum of space outside the ISS, and many species survived for years.

And about the cold, because space is a vacuum, counterintuitively, heat is actually hard to lose lol, it can only escape slowly through thermal radiation (there is no cold air to whip past and steal heat away), so they would still be gradually working for some time. And even when finally reaching extreme cold, we usually think of it as destructive, but for microbes it's actually "preservative". When Labs want to keep bacteria alive for decades without them changing or dying, they freeze them. So a lot of them wouldn't even die, but stay "suspended".

This, lmao, I downvoted the "edit" because it feels cluttered, hated the tiny memes (while I upvoted the main post).

OP just doesn't want to realize people didn't like their stuff.

Pick European Chocolate

Reply in thread

There are a lot of European brands missing on that website, and judging by the plethora of random small American ones, I assume it's probably because it's made by an American.

It also weirdly puts Tony's in the boycott section, when it's basically the only big brand trying to actively change their whole supply chain (there's still progress to be made, but putting it alongside Nestlé? really?).

In any way, it's good advice in the end.
