Nice! I might try this as a lock screen background.
xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto Biodiversity@mander.xyz•All life on Earth comes from one single ancestor, now we know what it wasEnglish2·5 days agoMakes you wonder if the first life form could live long enough to reproduce, or had to be functionally immortal.

“Drop off” makes it sound like he’ll carry you.
xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•No matter how crooked a mirror is, it always shows you a straight image.English1·12 days agoHere’s a hint: if a mirror truly did not flip anything, then when you looked into a mirror you would see your back, and it also does not “rotate” you. So how can you see your front?
spoiler
A plane has a “normal” (a direction coming “out of the mirror”), and it basically flips things in that direction (front to back). It might help the understanding (and possibly the creepiness factor) to consider just the outer few atoms of your hair/skin that reflects light… and you are roughly seeing that, in the mirror in the same orientation that it actually is IRL if it were pushed into the mirror…

I imagine this would be so bone-jarring that none of the… jockeys (?)… would have teeth.

xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto ChatGPT@lemmy.world•User utilizes ChatGPT for therapy. It doesn't go very well.English5·13 days agoIn my experience it gets worse as the amount of context increases. I’ll often re-ask a question w/o history just for comparison (getting significantly different results), and for the same reason i can’t imagine the “memory” feature being beneficial (quickly turned that off).

xia@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’English819·13 days agoAccording to GPT-4.1:
In 1959, Norway achieved a notable milestone by starting up its first nuclear reactor, the JEEP I (Joint Establishment Experimental Pile), located at Kjeller. This reactor was primarily used for research purposes, including early experiments with alternative nuclear fuels such as thorium. While JEEP I itself was not a thorium reactor per se, it laid the groundwork for subsequent Norwegian research into thorium as a nuclear fuel. This early phase demonstrated Norway’s scientific interest in thorium, leveraging its domestic thorium resources and contributing to later thorium reactor experiments.
