Extreme heat increases strength of pure metals
Jump
Bubs @lemmy.zip 4h ago
The finding is that some metals become harder while still heated against very fast deformations.
At everyday speeds, metals deform — meaning they bend, stretch or dent — in ways that scientists understand well. Heat helps atoms move, making metals softer and easier to shape. But when deformation happens extremely fast — in millionths or billionths of a second — those same rules no longer apply.

xkcd #3213: Dental Formulas

Jump

Bubs @lemmy.zip 4d ago

A dental formula specifies the number of teeth of each type on each side of the jaw for a given species, with dots separating the numbers. There are two rows, representing the upper and lower jaw, separated by a horizontal line. The number of incisors is indicated first, canines second, premolars third, and finally molars

Rule 30

Hard to determine the direction the cellular simulation is going, but I'm assuming it's top to bottom.

That would make the rules (assuming light is alive)

One neighbor alive above or above-right, you live
All three neighbors above you are the same, you live
Otherwise you die (two live neighbors above or one live neighbor above-left)

Generate a random row at the top, then determine the fate of cells on your at a time.

EDIT:

The only flaw I see in my logic so far is that the left most column would not be the same. Would only work if you had a hidden column on the left.

Exactly. That's why I always advocate for people to aim for being near a healthy weight. If you're a tad overweight or a tad underweight, that's so much better than being grossly over or under. Being healthier doesn't mean you have to be perfect, just better than you were.

Technically and legally, that is not wage theft. It's scummy and should be stopped, but it's not wage theft.

Scientists discover recent tectonic activity on the moon

Bubs @lemmy.zip 1w ago

They also found that the average SMR was 124 million years old.

Yeah, recent in terms of these sort of features happening, but in no way recent to any humanly conceivable time-frame.

What is the most random number?

Jump

Bubs @lemmy.zip 1w ago

My opinion on the most random number:

The smallest number that has never and will never exist in the universe.

The moment a number is written out, calculated in a computer, or counts the atoms in the universe, it's no longer random. It has some reason to exist.

Contrarily, just picking some massive number with a bajillion digits isn't really random. It's just a big number.

Thus the most random number would be the smallest number the universe will never know. It's going to be incomprehensibly large, near infinity. Plus, you'll have to wait until well beyond the heat death of the universe for the point that the entropy of everything equals zero.

Discord status notification

I feel ya on that one. I was getting pissed off at the server notifications sometime last year, so I knew where to look.

Here's an actual answer to disable them on Android (not sure if it's different on iPhone):

The bottom one disables status notifications. The top one gives notifications if there's a burst of activity on a server you're in.

XCOM designer Jake Solomon announces surprise closure of his studio alongside a first look at its canceled life sim, 'the game we poured our hearts into'

I like that concept for AI in games. You gotta balance and implement it correctly, but It really does offer an interesting new angle for games.

That vampire game "Suck Up!" was a pretty cool attempt at the idea.

xkcd #3209: Plums

Jump

Bubs @lemmy.zip 2w ago

Def a more niche reference I feel:

This is a reference to the William Carlos Williams poem This Is Just to Say, in which the narrator is apologizing for eating the plums in the icebox. In this comic, the joke is that Cueball, learning that the person out of view has left themselves some plums in the refrigerator for tomorrow, cannot resist eating them as a reference to the poem.
