  • The Turing Test, enshrined by the public and media as THE test of machine intelligence, really isn't.

  • Glad to see mentions to Peter Watts. His view of humanity is dry and take on real world is even grimmer, but it's intriguing and backed by science. Also I'm the one of people dying to know what he said at the end of his lecture.

  • The Japanese ‘micro-forest’ method is transforming cities

    Jump

  • Not many people reading article eh?

    It's not trees in Japanese urban cities (they keep getting cut yikes) but ones planted using Japanese botanist method. It plants native and climate appropriate species to grow climax community on the go in packed manner. In theory, once established 'the forests' have stable ecosystem and don't need external intervention. The theory now considered working, though the timespan to see if it truly works is centuries, and has been adopted over south Asia, east Asia and Europe.

  • All baking recipe ingredients should be in weight, not volume.

    Jump

  • I wanted to believe my opinion is popular yet recipes I've seen are almost in volume and I don't know why.

    Baking is chemistry for sure.

  • I don't know where you get the information tho, it's factually false.

    Japanese have have /h/, /ç/, /ɸ/ consonants in ハ行 (written as ha - hi - fu or hu -he - ho but pronounced differently). The consonant /ɸ/ is generally transcribed as f in alphabet.

    フ(f+u) is the only letter that pronaunce /ɸ/ in regular ハ行, but ファ行 (f + other vowels) indicates sounds with /ɸ/.

    Transcription of wifi in Japanese is ワイファイ, not ワイハイ.

  • How do people make and save kaomoji art?

    Jump

  • Japanese here. There are specific editors often categorized as "アスキーアートエディタ" (Ascii Art Editor). They often come with libraries of existing AA to modify, and can display image with low opacity to "trace" image.

    Large part of jp ascii art made/appeared in 90s to early 00s at underground forums like 2ch. Those editors were tailored for their speifics such as font family (MS-P Gothic) and size. The display/font system is different nowadays, but unlike "AA artist" in those times who is 100% comitted to make vertical line aligning pixel perfect most of people find those AA displays ok.

  • Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor?

    Jump

  • Kiwi and pineapples have enzyme to break proteins down, causing it taste bitter if they have contact to diary products long enough. Canned pineapples don't have this issue but I haven't seen canned kiwi, maybe that explains no kiwi ice cream

  • Godot gold level sponsors

    Jump

  • There was once gold tier "pls fix #79697" and platinum tier "Thx for #79697" as well. I find their approach very effective.

  • Layoffs hit Japan as Final Fantasy Brave Exvius developer asks 80 employees to “voluntarily resign”

    Jump

  • It's just how they word layoff and severance package. In Japan voluntary resignation can be also entitled for severance package depending roles/duration of employment, and this gives larger package than regular voluntary resignation is entitled to, to make them resign "voluntary".

  • A Cool Guide to Protein Sources.

    Jump

  • Just to check, did a quick search on usda.

    Values aren't off that much, tho meat protein value seems to be overstated. It's still likely propaganda, since they're not calorie-wise protein which gives better outlook for balaced diet.

  • United Airlines launches personalized ads on seat-back screens

    Jump

  • I think they can retain customers' past flight records and maybe list of media played in flights. That said it's almost guaranteed some ad marketing corpo is behind, and EULA is always vague enough to allow sharing external party...

  • Older gamers are a growth opportunity for AA(A) publishers – here is how to capture it [23% PCGamers are 55+]

    Jump

  • If this direction gets momentum, I'd expect nostalgia-bait classic "reboot" flooding the market as much as current franchise milking. Am I too pessimistic?

  • 📄 rule

    Jump

  • Japanese use JIS but A size is the same with ISO so there's no confusion here. For B size there's slight difference in JIS and ISO, but as end user I hardly print anything other than A4 so haven't encountered problems myself.

  • What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak?

    Jump

  • Shchedryk (Ukranian original version of Carol of the Bells) comes to mind. Folk rhymes better with their original tongue in general

  • A 3d printer is basically just a really fancy hot glue gun

    Jump

  • Not all printers are, but FDM printers are. SLA printers, the one uses projector and resin to makr high detailed figurines or parts with precision are basically fancy nail polish and curing light combimed.

    It photoshopped and swapped original image to match this situation but I couldn't find it.
