HULK BODYBUILDER VS SCHOOLBOY ARM WRESTLING

newtboy says...

That body builder couldn’t lift a piece of paper….
….if you taped it to his back.

I never understand the thought behind creating huge muscles that limit your range of motion so much. Sure, you can bench 500 lbs, but can you even scratch your own nose? I’m much more impressed by rock climbers that can do one pinky pull-ups all day long but look like weak computer nerds until their shirts come off.

True (hence the Eric Idle tag), but Eric was alluding to John's speech.

Don't doubt my python knowledge or I shall be polite to you a second time. 🤓

Minor correction: Eric Idle voiced Rincewind, not John Cleese.

Or made to annoy the heck out of the jocks who bullied the nerds in school. Jocks who now still works for security guard wages but out of shape AF.

Google Engineer on His Sentient AI Claim

eoe says...

Wow. This dude is really well-spoken. And the interviewer, although she asks a few leading questions, does a pretty damn good job, too. When I first read this headline, I assumed the dude was some sort of nerd who, although ethical concerns are very, very real and scary, mostly had a desire for some 15 minutes of notoriety. But I was swiftly put in my place by this interview.

And I always enjoy a casual dismissal of Elon.

Such a happy nerd day today. Was in a small meeting outside and had this marked in my calendar--after 3.5 hours of talking, suddenly stood up and said we all had to go to a wide screen; masked up and got it up and running 6 minutes before. So many happy nerdy people! So exciting!

The Designoid Dimension - mindblowing 3D fractal animation

kir_mokum says...

interesting. unfortunately "mandelbulb" looks extremely limited. good for hardcore fractal nerds but not good for serious productions.

This is 100% fractals. It's rendered in a program called "Mandelbulb 3D" with some post-production in AfterEffects. The artist has some nice tutorials on his channel!

10 Things You Didn't Know About The Matrix

Orange County is the Florida of California

visionep says...

That's a great question. The area is semi affluent and known for being pretty conservative.

My guess is that along with people feeling like they are personally successful they are being fed media that describes the progression of scientific understanding as "proof" that scientists who are forming recommendations don't know what they are talking about.

With this type of narrative clouding the purpose and reasons behind the recommendations these people feel like their own success makes them a better judge of what they should be doing for everyone's health and safety.

Add in a little talk about freedom and stigma of being a nerd and you have large social groups that deny the need to follow scientific recommendations that are meant to statistically reduce the broad impact of the virus' affects.

SFOGuy said:

You know what? Fair enough.

Can you explain to me how it is that this particular place is so...I mean, for lack of a better descriptor--unscientific?
