If we’re including time dilation in this, so does velocity. This means that the velocity from earth’s rotation that you gain with elevation counteracts the loss in gravity to some extent (I don’t know what the total is, I can’t be fucked doing the maths). It also means that latitude effects time dilation because the equator is moving faster. This means that 60 seconds in south Africa is not exactly the same as a minute at the equator.

What about an inverse centaur? Is it just a horse minotaur, or is the human head replaced by the front half of a horse?

So alligators are the ones that look like ducks. Got it.

Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Are there any examples of a religion giving scientific knowledge that could not have been known to people at the time?65·6 days agoI have a few thoughts on this. For context, I’m a Christian with equally big interests in science and theology.
A. Remember that scripture wasn’t written to us 21st century people. It was written in a context, in a language, at a time, for a culture, all different from what we have today. So for us to understand scripture we have to understand the context surrounding when it was written. This means hypothetical differences also need to go through this filter. For your examples of Native Americans or bacteria, what would the early Israelites have done with this information? I’d say it would have been seen as a weird side detail likely wouldn’t have survived being part of an oral tradition. Especially the bit about bacteria, since they didn’t have a word for it.
B. I don’t think that’s the point of the Bible. The way I describe it is “God’s biography”. A bunch of authors all wrote their part to try to communicate who God is and what he has done. These authors all had the chance to live close to God, and got pointers on topics to write about, then they all write about God.
C. I’ve had a similar conversation with some of my friends. We were playing “that’s a question” (party board game about guessing what answer this specific player will choose), and the question of “would you prove God’s existence/nonexistence?” came up. We’re all Christian, so we were talking about proving that God does exist, and we basically came to the answer that God has clearly built the world in a way that does not absolutely prove his existence, so he must have chosen to not prove it for some reason. Our best guess was that if it was proven, a lot of people would follow him out of obligation instead of love.
The only time I’ve seen real use from an ai tool is at work, we are using it to get data from an invoice/quote/etc from the pdf that we get emailed to data that we can put in the database. It’s not a perfect solution, but there isn’t really anything else we can find other than getting people to do it, which is slower and more expensive.

It’s way worse than groupthink. Groupthink is a natural thing that comes from humans being inherently social. Using LLMs for thinking is basically offloading your brain and letting a corporation turn it into a product for you.
Mr Fish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Besides bars and clubs, how does a guy put himself around more women?941·21 days agoBased on the way you’ve worded this, I’d say the best advice is don’t try to talk to women, just talk to people. Find people who share a common interest with you, and just hang out with them doing what you enjoy. Just live your life, and the talking to women part will happen naturally at some point.
