He should have done the nasty in the pasty.

Or washing machines…

Seriously, he would have made an incredible nagus, or just quark’s father brought back by the prophets or something.

I can barely stand TNG

We think the way the 3 quarks entangle to make a neutron could be asymmetric, such that it’s not a perfect, canceled out neutral blob.

Up quarks have +2/3 of a charge, down quarks have - 1/3.

Depending on how they all exist in the nucleus (quarks can’t be free, they basically have to be bound to each other, it’s why the strong force is so strong), they could overlap perfectly, or they could be next to each other like in a triangle, and we could notice that a neutron actually has a polarity where one side is slightly (impossibly slightly) more positive/negative than the other.

Then we have polarized neutrons, and your whole life is a lie.

But we’ve looked, and basically there’s no sign as far as we can tell, which is unfortunate, it means quarks are truly lost in the ‘quark-gluon soup’ of a hadron.

So, as someone whose last job was in ai:

Sigh, yeah, this is basically how it works…

Throw unimaginable amounts of data at a GPU, you convert words to numbers through an algorithm called word2vec, then correlate between the words in context, English on one side, unknown language on the other, just looking for any connection at all. If the vector products are above a threshold (we call that activation) then there might be a relationship.

Once you have it you experiment with it, try to make more associative connections building on that. The gpus just churn endlessly till they go ‘bing’.

We did a simpler version as humans with the Rosetta stone, it had Greek, which we knew, and 2 forms of Egyptian, which we didn’t.

Yeah the show is ludicrous in having someone point to a broom, say ‘mekh’ and the next sentence is ‘I’m afraid the current structure of relations in the alpha quadrant requires us to demand you no longer perform warp travel through our sector as we do not tolerate antimatter reactions under our religion’ translated from ‘guh-tah!’

More often they’ve already had sex with them, so they don’t matter anymore.

So… Just as an FYI and to be that dickhole:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_electric_dipole_moment

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleon_magnetic_moment

https://inspirehep.net/literature/650244

A nonzero electric dipole moment can only exist if the centers of the negative and positive charge distribution inside the particle do not coincide. So far, no neutron EDM has been found. The current best measured limit for dn is (0.0±1.1)×10−26 e⋅cm.[1]

Damn you, now I have to start a pertwee rewatch!

I will NEVER understand slut shaming.

"Women willing to have sex? Fuck, we gotta humiliate them and discourage that!

Not on my watch… "

pew pew space battles and ignore the messaging.

Hey, we don’t have to get personal here :(

That’s really awesome!

I think things like this really help bring the community together, which is what we’ve lost the most over the past 3 decades, we’ve traded being “rich” (ie externally showy) for being comfortable and having a community. We compete with each other and drive ourselves apart.

Elkhart didn’t have the best libraries when I was growing up (80s), but they felt like the only decent lifeline to the outside world, before the internet. I regret not taking better advantage of them, but their selection was extremely old till they moved to a bigger building.

Farmers have a really weird love/hate attitude towards books.

Try to convince your library to get a 3d printer, and do demonstration classes, I think they’ll find people really like them and kids can make projects for their parents or even school (our schools had 0 budget for anything, we legit learned on trash 80s in 1991).

Edit: looking through the pictures, would love to take my kid there, nice.

Can’t wait for the buddy cop spinoff: Bisexual Fashion Lizard and The Twink.

She started young, has dance training, and is 46, so she’s experienced but still can play young (can’t really put an age on her, never could).

For actresses that’s key, you need experience before you can act reliably, but by then you often look too old for the parts they need.

I think she’s a mid actress, but her dancing background gives her much more physicality to her roles, which matters when covered in goop, and makes up for what I consider her weak and wooden facial acting (though she was warm in the terminal).

Also she’s an uno draw 4 when it comes to race, so that’s another thing director’s don’t have to worry about.

Cleanup on holodeck 4?

Open source dev, kernel, llvm, jvm, bunch of other shit.

Never came up with anything as bad as systemd.

Don’t talk shit if you don’t know, been doing software since the internet was dialup.

I’ve worked with both coreaudio and launchd.

They weren’t architected like trash, and actually did their jobs well.

If systemd was just like launchd that would be awesome, it’s not, then it took over half the linux userspace, badly.
