Townsends has a video on flips. He might have used a historical word for it.

Your logic is correct, but you are off by 1.

0-1 is year 1
10-11 is year 11

ELI5 answer?

In the conventional calendar, there wasn’t a year zero and it wasn’t skipped. Zero is the moment in time that we use to begin counting time.

Think of an elementary school style number line: …-3_-2_-1_0_1_2_3… Each number is one year apart. This makes the numbers measure something like Age. If you are 3 years old, you can count 3 years between 0 and 3.

But a year is not an Age. It is the span of time between ages, and the years we name are actually the spaces between the numbers on the number line. So the first year (1 AD/CE) is the first space after zero (between 0 and 1), and the first negative year (1 BC/BCE) is the first space before the 0 (between -1 and 0).

Then there is the astronomical calendar, which does have a year zero. They get this by naming the year (the space on the number line) after the number to the right side of the space on the number line.

Thanks, Obama! 😠

That’s what airplane mode is. Try it out in the control center. It doesn’t disable my WiFi unless I had WiFi disabled when I last turned airplane mode off. Similar with Bluetooth except turning airplane off turns my Bluetooth on even if I had it off before.

Of course, an OS update or a reboot might reset the value of the previous WiFi state. 🤷‍♂️

Stardew Valley. It’s a cozy farm sim with lots to dig into if you want to at your own pace (it is not uncommon to play the wiki open) The same save file can be used for single player or multiplayer
(local or online).

A bunch of posts are saying see a GP and/or Psychiatrist, and absolutely do that. But also make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home (you should have one anyway). This vaguely reminds me of that one Reddit post.

Huh. I never really thought of Scotland as a neighbor.

My favorite marvel series.

It was settled mainly by Puritans, a Calvinist flavor of Christians that thought the Church of England was too Catholic. If you’ve heard the term “puritanical” it comes from them.

The pilgrims specifically, were the sect that was the first to land in Massachusetts, and sought to break away from the Church of England.

Harken, to the the tale of the birth of Massachusetts…

This is the second time I’ve seen cheddar bay waffles recommended. Fuck it! I have a box of this in the cupboard and a pizzelle maker. I’ll report back next weekend.

I think with a human operator, we can be proactive. A person can be informed of bias, learn to recognize it, and even attempt to compensate for their own.

An AI model is working off of aggregate past data that we already know is biased. There is currently no proactive anti bias training that can be done to a AI model without massively altering the dataset, which, at some level of alteration, loses its value as true to life data.

Secondly, AI is a black box. we can’t see inner the workings of the model and determine what types of associations it is making to come to its result. So we don’t even know what part of the dataset would need to be altered to address the bias.

Lastly, the default assumption by end users will be, unless there are glaring defects, that any individual result is correct and unbiased, because “AI was made by smart people and data, and data doesn’t lie.” And because interrogating and validating the result defeats the whole purpose of using AI to cut out those steps of the process.

AI does not exist, but it will ruin everything anyway.

I was just looking at a photo of the time yesterday. In it were around 15 people. Of those 15:

• ≈8 were wearing prescription aviators
• ≈4 were wearing aviator sunglasses
• ≈3 weren’t wearing any glasses
• 0 were wearing a different style of glasses

Side note: the person who showed me the photo was the only one in it still alive. He was ≈35 when it was taken. Probably the youngest by far of the group.

Do you have a source on that? I hadn’t seen any news to that effect that didn’t start with “Hamas Claims:”, and I can’t seem to dig anything up.

You’re thinking of an Eldritch Waitress. What OP meant was a waitress that fuses metal objects together.

Imagine a food shortage so bad that the nutritional value of the leather in the upholstery of your car is worth more than the cost of the car in good times.
