Rare Supernova Discovery Ushers in New Era for Cosmology
Gravity-lensed supernova magnifies understanding of universe
Supernova iPTF16geu was identified by the pipeline on September 5, 2016
Yeah… but you can add adjectives / swap nouns forever. The “revolution” is gravity lenses with multiple images that are used to see the same event multiple times, isn’t it? Or did I misunderstand how central superluminous supernovas are to astronomy?
Yep. And if he’d killed the sister? I’m not convinced there would be much advocacy compared to grasping at surviving while leaving the system to do its thing. And if that situation is too different, then there’s this from another poster:
My opinion on someone and hopes for their future would change quite a lot while they’re in the process of murdering me.
You seem like someone that has strong views on this biased towards rehabilitation. I think in general there is too much incarceration instead of rehabilitation but I know I’m ignorant in cases like this. We’re lacking a lot of information and the son obviously needed treatment and was avoiding it but I’m wondering if you’re aware of statistics of rehabilitation in cases kind of like this: a bit more extreme and don’t seem like short sighted mistakes with paths towards rejoining society without being a risk. Obviously there inhumane and more humane, but in thinking about a reply to you I became curious about how effective interventions can be for more extreme cases
Why is leniency what’s best? From what I read, he’s had a number of chances and a habit of causing harm. This is a large escalation. It also seems like the parents had tried many things and that included tough love. Like as a quick test of your logic, do you think they would want leniency if he’d killed his sister instead? It’s easy to romanise people in death and I’m suspicious of the presumption here
At least the user hasn’t been pushing the same channel in their other posts
Am I missing something? Didn’t the “revolution” happen in 2016?
It’s an interesting topic so I’m glad people are reading about it, but isn’t the title manipulative?
Yeah, no. LLMs are known untrustworthy so need a validation step so they aren’t a great fit for any automation you don’t look at… unless you don’t really care about the outcome
What would work here is a browser API for cookie settings. You set your preferences with the browser and the sites check the browser. I don’t think this is likely to happen because people with influence and money in tech wouldn’t be able to point to how annoying the modals are and say “Look X government is doing something we don’t like so you should be angry and not trust them”
Yeah, good question. I can’t remember why I went off it. There is definitely some good content. I think for a while he was just really excited about the multiverse and that’s just a bit too strong an interpretation in my mind to go push that hard. It might have been something else. Its been a while
Sorry “a break (from YouTube)”. That’s still not to me “getting too big”. It could be, it just seems like an inference
Also, didn’t Lateral start about the same time he stopped YouTube?
Actually, 3Blue1brown and PBS science videos (minus space) are pretty great too
3Blue1brown is amazing!
Starting getting too big? I thought he said he needed a break. That’s not necessarily the same, or has he said more since then?
Almost all of the smarter everyday videos I wish were 1/10 of the size, or two videos (learning vs something glittery that he’s distracted by). I’m glad that he’s there for people that enjoy that though
Or simplify taking a stand that he wasn’t willing to go down the click bait path the algorithm pushes for. I haven’t found another comment for a channel I agree with here yet
I mostly use YouTube for science content and Veritasium is a standout on the titles and thumbnails being off putting, I can’t bring myself to watch the content anymore because of them
Almost all of them that “care” have terrible thumb nails and titles. Just so clickbaity. Channels seem to get worse over time on that front
Oh yeah, I can get behind this gif a lot more
I clicked through to see what “restrict their vision” means. It’s a bit click baity for me and the content wasn’t too interesting. Pretty bird though
Many animals try to win a mate by displaying spectacular ornamentation – such as the famous tail of male peacocks. However, these impressive traits can have negative consequences, even hindering movement or making individuals easier for predators to find.
Up to now, researchers have not found any major differences in how males and females see in terms of their visual fields. However, for the first time ever, the new findings reveal that the cranial feathers of male golden (C. pictus) and Lady Amherst’s (C. amherstiae) pheasants are so much more exaggerated than their female counterparts that this impedes their ability to gather information from the world about them.
This effect is most extreme in the vertical axis, where the males have a field of view 30° or 40° less in golden and Lady Amherst’s pheasants respectively.
I don’t think the memes will be as good as the blue check, but I imagine some outcomes will be about as problematic
Come on mate. Elbows up
