This doesn’t really seem like news… it’s great they’re doing the research, but anybody with ADHD will know that Attention Deficit is a misnomer, and of course it’s a problem with wakefulness and reward

nice try, cat

The lotr box set in 4K costs $540….

my Katy Perry Star Trek meme head canon is that this is really documentation of actual romulan, Katy Perry, just as she sliced her fingers off, because romulans don’t know about light sabers

so what’s the car to people ratio?

(does some rough math)

china: 1 car made for every 46 people
usa: 1 for every 32

i’m too lazy to do the rest

It’s a gnuke

It’s harder to manipulate attack and dynamics precisely if it’s not a totally dry recording, i.e. if you can hear the natural reverb of the room or hall…

But I haven’t been a sound/music guy for a while - for all I know there may be tools to compensate for that now

You could probably mess around with EQ, which might be enough, but what OP is describing sounds like the kind of granular control you’d get with a synth or MIDI instrument

I thinks it’s probably plausible conjecture at this point

Group C is gonna be a fun watch

Chatoic good? Evil? Neutral?

idk but it’s definitely chaotic

Do you think it’s possible to run the cycle too quickly? Like, shouldn’t you make sure your product has been widely maximally adopted first before you make it shittier?

May be that’s just hopium

I mean, it’s still technically great bait for clicking, it’s just that there’s actually some interesting content in there.

So then does trust == faith?

Of course it’s not possible to understand absolutely everything, even as a well-informed scientist or academic. You say ‘blindly trusting’, but may be that’s quite the right way to put it, since, presumably, you have determined that those experts know better than you do, i.e. it’s not ‘blind’ in some sense. Whereas a religious person may blindly have faith that there is a God and a higher purpose (or whatever).

That said, to counter my own point, I’m sure there are plenty of religious people who determine that their religious leaders or experts are worthy of trusting because of a perceived higher spiritual connection, social status, or similar.

I think it all comes back to being able to think critically. In my mind at least, the word ‘trust’ implies some sort of rational thought process, whereas ‘faith’ has a bit more of an emotional connotation. But in reality it’s probably more of a heavily-overlapping Venn diagram (assuming there’s a distinction at all).

I saw some article years ago that found dogs cant, or at least have a hard time differentiating between consonant sounds in words; for example the word ‘outside’ might sound the same as ‘grout-side’ or ‘shout-wide’, just because they rhyme.

After some fun experiments, I found that to be true with my dogs, and my vocabulary with them has devolved into some really silly shit that makes me cackle, but would probably make others question my sanity a little…
