Yes. It’s shown on the right, and ought to have bee sorted by that.

Also, notice the bottom text, that it excludes all cases where neither gender is more than 80%, so only extreme differences are shown.

It’s carefully chosen to show some point, which might be interesting in some context, but not really interesting by itself without context.

Just say that your name is Number 2.

I’m not really scared of AI becoming more intelligent. I’m more concerned about stupid people giving control to stupid AI. It’s plenty capable of fucking things up as it is provided it is given access to do so.

It used to be that political comics were satirical.

This is just the news.

I think the people who just pick up an instrument and fool around with it might be more tempted to use AI than an actual composer who knows and cares about music theory and sound production.

It’s all about what they want to do. You don’t ask a algorithm to solve your sodoku, because what’s the point of doing it then.

It’s a standing joke that composers actually make their living doing tedious tasks like commercial jingles and background music for radio shows. The AI can easily do that, removing both the tedious work, but also the payment.

Algorithm based music isn’t a new thing. One could argue that it was exactly what Bach was doing. His ideas were mostly simple three note motifs, and the rest of the hourly long concerts were just him churning out all the possible arrangements using strict theory. AI could do that faster than a human, but I also don’t think any human is really interested in doing it like that anymore. It was a huge accomplishment by Bach, but only because he was the first to lay the groundwork. It’s not interesting today.

Composition today is all about conveying an idea or emotion through sound, which would be rather difficult for an AI. It can probably fake it well enough, but it’ll be based on already existing methods, aka slop. There’s already enough human made slop in music to saturate the market for such. AI doesn’t really have an edge in doing it, except it might be cheaper for those that need it.

The G is silent in English words starting with gn. Gnarly gnats is pronounced narly nats.

There’s not a lot of those words anyway

Gnu and gnome are exceptions only when used to describe the software. The gnu animal and the mythical gnome creature are pronounced with silent gs.

I know it’s completely off-topic, but anyway. No, I’m fine with the rake. That’s what’s makes it funny.

It’s the drawing of the skater that is too good, and that doesn’t add up with the other details being wrong. Someone who can draw a skater that good wouldn’t make the other things that wrong or even random.

The rake is drawn as doing a frontside shove-it, popped from mid-air and failing because of gravity suddenly changing in the middle of the sequence. The skater is “obviously” doing a varial heelflip instead of a frontside shove-it.

So that’s the clue to why I thought it was drawn off an actual picture. That the background is also a copy of the original only reaffirms my theory.

In hindsight I can also see that the skater is obviously Andrew Reynolds. The tuck and landing is his signature style.

The last picture in the meme always bothered me, because the sequence doesn’t make any sense physically. (Popping the rake from mid air and doing the wrong flip and such)

So, I went on to find the sequence that I believe it was drawn from.

Not officially. It was removed in 2023.

I used to dread leaving the warm shower and getting cold while drying. Then I figured out that if I gradually turn the temperature down while only showering the head, that it both feels refreshing, but not cold, and also makes the entire transition less cold. The key is that the brain gets most of it’s idea of temperature from the head.

The same tactic can also be used at the beach. Instead of inching your way into the cold water until the testicles crawl up and you finally give up, you’re much better off if you just put the top of your head into the water first.

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.

One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, “My poor fellow, don’t you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren’t going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you’re sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite.”

The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: “Moishe, look who’s trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing.”

Where I live, the part of the car insurance that covers damages on others and their property is mandatory.

The insurance for yourself and your own car is optional, but I think it’s fair to require some kind of guarantee that you can cover the potential damages that you are able to do to others with a car.

Cops will stop you, if you don’t have the mandatory insurance, have unpaid car taxes, use fake license plates or skipped the EU check. Police cars have automatic license plate recognition to check that sort of thing.

Europe is about 3 times larger than India. The map just shows the comparison of states to similar sized countries.

I can drive for two hours and still be in the same roundabout.

It’s more about set theory than the actual numbers.

Let’s say you have 100 people with everyone tied up across both tracks. Heads on one track and legs on the other. Let’s assume they die if the train touches any part of them, but you still need to choose between running over heads or legs.

The best choice is then legs, because there’s a probability of some of them being handicapped and not having legs.

Guess I was wrong. Maybe it adds up.

I never said I was good at counting.

The real numbers also includes the integers.

The practical consequence of this example is that the integers die regardless of what you choose.

However infinitely many people will survive if you choose the first option.

I counted the letter “o”. It doesn’t match up.

Some are easier to make than others.
