Really? I'm noticing the opposite. First round of imagegen assets seem basically ok, but as time goes on you start to notice the similarities that are properties of the current crop of models and they start to annoy you.

No it's not! Under this proposal you work shorter days in winter, longer days in summer, to match the natural light.

Same as you handle uptime on anything else: you use monitoring software.

If people need to tell you your services are down, you end up eating a huge amount of downtime.

Google has been really bad at this “exact remembered text” thing for at least a few years before the AI summaries made an appearance. They deliberately decided to trade precision for… something. I’m not sure what.

If anyone can direct me to a search engine that will actually let me query the index directly with multi word queries, I’d be delighted. DuckDuckGo seems to be a bit better, but not much.

Chess is not solved in any meaningful sense of the term. Computers have been better than humans since the 90s, but better chess programs are released all the time.

It’s a direct quote.

Calls of "you should allow free speech" invariable actually mean "I should be allowed to harass your members".

I enjoy spaces that are at least semi-moderated.

Food and shelter if nothing else. Gotta pay the upkeep on the meat robots!

I've had no end of trouble registering an account on our corporate SIMs as the phone numbers (not the actual SIM cards) had been recycled as employees leave.

That seems like the kind of name that's gonna earn you a C&D.

Except I said nothing of the sort. I said the opposite.

Jupiter, Neptune and earth in your example dominate the gravity of their orbit by locking the smaller bodies into orbital reasonances.

It’s not a vague criterium. It might be an irrelevant one if you are interested in geophysics, but it’s concrete and testable.

Trans-neptunian objects, including Pluto, are in orbital resonance. They owe their stable orbits to the existence of Neptune.

It’s like saying Jupiter is not a planet because the Trojans exist.

> “One of the biggest flaws with the IAU definition is that you can have the same object in two different orbits,” says Kornfeld. “In one, it’s considered a planet, and in the other, it’s not considered a planet.”

So… planet Ganymede when? Or Titan?

It’s not exactly an astronomy book. It’s more a memoir of an astronomer. But it’s funny and very well written.

Also, if you have the opportunity too see @plutokiller teach planetary science or give a lecture, I can recommend you do so!
