We need a browser extension that would post filter the garbage provided by search engines … they are treating us like their product, we should treat their garbage at its real value.

Thanks 😌 … … but, well …
i was hoping for an extension filtering based on search terms and not based on URLs … and also doing the necessary boolean logic like requested by the O.P.

Those objects fit comfortably in reality but those theories (Big Bang, LCDM…) do not.

Ladoga –a Russian armoured personnel carrier. Initially called Debut, this APC is designed for evacuation of Soviet government from Kremlin to airport under nuclear/chemical/biological attack. Ladoga uses tracks from the T-80U as well as suspension system and gas-turbine powerplant. The crew is 2 soldiers. It also has a four-seat cab equipped with a crew life-support facilities to protect the passengers against the radiological, chemical and bacteriological contamination of the environment.

i cannot understand everything (far from it) but here is the part where I believe is an alternative explanation for the CMB :

Equations (2.38), (2.39), (2.40), and (2.53) all illustrate that the creation rate of particles with energies larger than the inverse expansion time, ρ, is exponentially suppressed. Parker [11] has noted that these exponential factor are similar to those which appear in thermal spectrum at finite temperature.

A_A OP , 27 days ago

Thanks for your input.

May I take another route and ask you what you know about the history of science … about paradigm shifts … and about how people very knowledgeable on the current paradigm cannot see (most of times historicaly) that a paradigm shift is about to happen ?

A_A OP , 27 days ago

Thanks again for your time and consideration.

We are discussing here in a community dedicated to science and clearly I have to acknowledge that your arguments here are much better than mine 😆 and that you are very knowledgeable in the current paradigm of science.

Unfortunately for me, there is no community at Lemmy dedicated to the history of science where “very knowledgeable on the current paradigm” would be so telling for historians knowledgeable in this field.

1. 85% of organizations believe AI will cause job displacement:
2. 62% of people believe AI will eventually become more intelligent than humans:
3. 40% of people believe AI will cause a future war between humans and machines:
4. 39% of people believe AI will lead to a new form of slavery:
5. 37% of people believe AI will become sentient and conscious:

Hi @werefreeatlast,
i had successes asking LLaMA 3 70B with simple specific questions …
Context : i am bad at programming and it help me at least to see how i could use a few function calls in C from Python … or simply drop Python and do it directly in C.
Like you said, i have to re-write & test … but i have a possible path forward. Clearly you know what you do on a computer but i’m not really there yet.

i agree with every main comments posted here until now which are opposed to this policy of yours, at least about this part :

(…) we do believe that when you excessively post/comment/reply negative things in News about one person (… ((you are eligible to ban)) …)

i join my voice to other users here to say this policy should focus more on frequency of posts and quality of sources. (more emphasis should be put on explaining to us what here excessively means)

There should be no restriction of stating, in comments, the fact that one candidate is, for example, a convicted felon + rapist etc … if this is established as factual.

There are many maximums in different types of potential for human beings :

• just after birth, before 1-year-old, we are at a maximum in terms of number of neurons
• there is another maximum in term of wisdom in the 50 to 80 years range.

This maximum you hint about would be in terms of reproductive potential and attractiveness.

This one is a much better explanation and unfortunately i tend to agree with you here that humanity will not solve this in time.
… unless, maybe, we apply drastic geo - engineering methods that would solve only part of the problem.
And so, i expect a sharp decrease in humanity’s population over the next few decades.

My first guess on the title was : “this should be caused by a positive feedback with forest fires in the loop”.
…so, I went and read this Wikipedia article :
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedbacks
… and it says :

(…) Carbon cycle uncertainty is driven by the large rates at which CO2 is both absorbed into plants and released when biomass burns or decays. For instance, permafrost thaw produces both CO2 and methane emissions, in ways that are difficult to model. (…)

But it also says that this one is not the most important feedback loop.

if you equate USA with Europe …
then France will be one of the states …
and Macron would be the governor of his state who would decides to call state election because on the federal level his party lost (while there was not yet elections at the state level)

Also : this election called by Macron calls for a possible change of his government but his own seat as president is not challenge until the next election in 2027.

At best I would expect such agreements to slow down the genocide against Gaza for a few days. Human groups have degenerated into hatred in the worst of history … since about 10k years. A genetic reproductive advantage was gained by violent victorious warrior monsters (as an example Gensis Khan is said to have had many descendants). Eventually humanity will need some type of widespread gene therapy to get rid of our band bad tendencies … i know all that is a broad oversimplification, but still.
Edit : Ooups ! i made a typo.

Lemmy is safe for the moment - - contrary to larger social media : in this article they do not mention Lemmy as being a target.

The first philosophical astonishment is that anything at all exists. When I was first learning mathematics I was astonished to see that x^2^ + y^2^ = 1 was the formula to create a circle : such a simple formula to create something so fundamental was astonishing to me.
Today I would say our capacity to be astonished is probably an important mechanism to help us stop and say to ourselves : “hey ! there is something important to learn here !”

Some genes are lethal let’s call them :
“T” bad version and
“t” for the version that lets you live.

if one of those genes is on the xx // xy chromosomes then if you are XX female you will get one combination in this set of combinations : Tt, tT, TT, tt
if you get TT, you are dead.
if you get tt, you live,
if you get Tt or tT you have 3 possible outcomes :
if T is dominant you are dead,
if t is dominant you live,
if T and t are co_dominant you might be sick.

if you are XY male, you have either a “T” (dead) or a “t” (alive).

A_A , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

You might absolutely be right about the meaning of O.P.s’ (confused) question. But still i hope at least i answered o.k. from this part :

And does the X chromosome do anything for me, or is it turned off, and only used if I pass it on to the next generation ?

P.S. : You asked :

Not every combination is being tried in the egg during fertilization, right ?

Gene selection is made before the synthesis of the gametes : for instance a male having XY will produce sperms, each one with either an X or with a Y.

The rules and conventions to do science today are quite well known and understood by educated people (including of course Helen Mosque) … but any rules have exceptions :
Project Manhattan to produce the atomic bomb was secret science : in many countries military will have secret science development. Pharmaceutical companies will do as well.
People in those projects will not have recognition by the wider public but they will have recognition from their group.

Thanks ! … if anyone else wants to know :
SOP stands for Standard Operating Procedure. Within secret scientific research groups, SOPs are established guidelines or instructions for carrying out routine operations to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with regulations. These SOPs help maintain integrity, confidentiality, and efficiency within the research group.

i agree because what I usually mean when i talk of science is scientific work even if this work doesn’t result in proving that an hypothesis is right so that it becomes a scientific theory.
For me the main criteria is to follow the scientific method.

GPT told me it was “Standard Operating Procedure” in the context of the previous comment. That wasn enough for me. I didn’t have to know it applies to your job in an English speaking country.
